How has your slider mechansim fared so far? Any problems?

Just wanting to see if anyone's had problems with the sliding mechanism for their Touch Pro 2. Lately i've been sliding it up and not supporting it with the thumb and pointer finger and just wondering if the slider will be able to withstand this.

My slider is holding up quite well.

Eh... mine's a SLIGHT bit wobblier but just barely. I can wiggle it like half a millimeter with it shut.

on my 1st tp2 since october, no problems here. but i've learned that if you don't seek problems, you won't find any!

Got my TP2 in early Oct. and its still rock solid.

I've had 4 TP2's. I've never had any long enough to tell on the quality of the slider. Something else usually goes out before the slider does (screen, microphone, on and on...). The longest I've been with one TP2 was for about 2 months...then something goes out and I get a refurb from Verizon

I got my TP2 in late October 2009, and so far my slider is just as tight as it was when I first got it.

Oh yeah, and that's after I've dropped it about seven times...

slider is working well. its just everything else with the phone that i have problems with. right now actually when i slide the keyboard up my screen shuts off, but the phone still think its on. so i have to hit sleep button twice to get the screen to turn back on.

still on my first TP2 that i got in october... everything is holding up like a champ. i think 6 months is longer than any of my TPs lasted

*edit* confirmed. i looked at my post history (wasn't entirely sure when i got rid of my vogue and got my tp) and it looks like my longest lasting TP lasted 5 months
*edit2* jeez. 1300 posts...

i only went though 3 tp's but i was a noob and the tp's life was half way before the tp2 came out.
