The screen doesn't actually turn off, at least in my case. The backlight shuts itself off for some reason. If you tilt the phone a little, you can see the items on the screen. Just go to Settings-Backlight. You'll immediately notice the slider for the backlight while on battery has moved all the way to the left. If you slide it to the right, the backlight comes back on. I've had the same problem since I got the phone, even with the original WM5 ROM.

I also experienced this with the original Verizon WM5 rom as well as the Maintenance Release that came followed.

You most likely held down the power button too long. If your blacklight goes out like that, just press and hold the power button on top.

Yeah.. I noticed that no matter how I configure the power options (where you can set timeout period before screen dimming, or standby mode), that the phone only turns off the screen. I always have to make sure to tap power so I'm not bleeding battery power.
