    Root Went to crap in a NY minute.

    I had the oddest thing happen yesterday! I've been running BB v.5 since it was released. It has been running flawlessly since install.

    Root What's The Tastiest Froyo?

    I'm still running Fabs NexBeast V1.1 which has been pretty much flawless for me. I've waited for several Froyo releases to mature a little before making the plunge.

It only seems to happen if I manually enter a number, ie if I dial 208-337-4119 it dials *86, if I call that same number but...
