wow I never had that one happen to me, or ever heard of it.
Looks like some evil gremlins got in there....hopefully the reset does not sit well with them and they leave......

ok after a reset it seems to work just fine, still really strange, it was similar to when a videocard starts to die or glitch

I thought I was going crazy... It has happened to me 2 times. Soft reset fixed it though.

Before it happened, the phone had been working fine. I pressed the power button and everything was negative!

I have had something like that happen to me on by treo 750. would have to turn the screen on and off until it came out right. Don't know what the problem was but I am guessing its hardware related.

I have had it happen as well. Its do to some software oem or cab that corrupts the video driver running in memory. Once soft reset it works again. I only had this happen on one No2chem rom ages ago. I believe No2Chem pinned down the exact program but I am too lazy to go mulling through the old no2chem 2.0 thread.

=P

This happened to me once after I installed SPB Mobile Shel 2.1 for the first time. Disappeared after a soft reset and never returned - of course, I ditched SPBMS too...
