M5000 Screen problem

[Guest dodgybob]

I have had my Orange SPV M5000 since Friday. Its a great gadget... but as a phone it sucks. For example you can't see whose calling without opening the lid {But I won't rant about that as a lot of other guys are doing well on the rants, and I don't want to steal the limelight}

My Issue is that the screens colours have gone weird. Remember when your graphics card drivers screw up and you load your machine with the windows default drivers... and all high colour images get contoured with colour patches where there are colours that are not supported and it all looks rather crap! Well thats exactly whats happened to me.

Anyone had the same issue? Need help please help...?

Right...

THis is really weird. I had just got off the phone to Orange Customer service to ask for a replacement and the phone sudenly kicked back to normal. I then phoned Orange and told them that I don't need the replacement and they just told me to refuse the replacement when the Courier guy arrives.

However, now I had a play with it again... it fooked up again!! The screen has gone funny. I got angry and squashed the sides of the screen. This seemed to work and the picture went normal. But when I let go the screen slowly deteriorated. It's pretty bugged!!!

I have all my stuff backed up via Exchange Server... so I see no harm in getting a replacement tommorow if the courier guy is coming down anyway!

Please... has anyone else had any problems with their screen? Am I like the only one? I think it happened after I kept it in PDA mode when in my pocket... must have squashed it.

So there you go: Keep your M5000 in closed shell mode. Need to ask people if they have issues with that!

Does sound like it's faulty. I'd exchange it...
