Default Phone frozen! Argh!
Sorry if this has been posted before... but I just downloaded/am installing the Facebook app.. the progress bar on it hasn't moved, and I'm connected over WiFi, and the phone just went to blank as it does when you don't touch it for a minute or so. When I hit the home bottom and "slide to unlock" the slider doesn't move. :S

Neither does it let me slide when I try to power off. ARGH!

Is this normal whenit's downloading an app? Is my phone broken? :S

Yeah. FW 2.0 is notoriously unstable.

Yep, happened to me last night when I was looking at a web page, the phone completely froze up. I had to do a hard reset several times just to get it to respond.
I'm not liking that, I hope they fix it soon.

Mine froze when using Safari but came back around. Hopefully the next update will be out soon.

I've had safari freeze up but the rest of the phone worked fine. I could still do everything else on my phone except if I went into safari all I could do was return to the home screen. A reboot fixed it though.
