When I first got the Slate, I carried it in my back pocket. Within two weeks, it would turn off automatically, and be hard to turn back on and stay on. Eventually it stayed off for over a week, when for some reason I tried again, it turned on, and hasn't given me a prob. since. I don't carry it in my pocket anymore and treat it really delicatelly!!!
A week ago, I put it in my pocket again, and forgot, right away took it out and dropped it. It started turning off but was able to turn back on a couple of times, then stopped all together. Twice it did turn on telling me to check the sim card. I messed with it in any ways I could think of that worked last time... nothing! My sim works fine in another cell... WHAT is wrong with my irritating phone!
