Question

I seem to have an odd problem with my week-old Visor involving where I point with the stylus and what happens on the screen. They don't always match up very well.

For example, if I point at the extreme left side of the screen, with the stylus touching the left portion of the case, then I select the closest icon, even though I'm not right over it (or that close to it). Same with the top edge. On the right side, though, I must point right over the icon's edge to select it. These don't bother me. But if I point on the bottom edge of the LCD portion of the screen, I wind up selecting the calculator button or home button, even though I'm well above them. So in the address book, if I try to scroll down using the down arrow in the lower right corner, I often bring up the calculator. I have tried recalibrating the screen, but there is no change.

Anyone else seen this problem??

Thanks,
Robert

Cool

The "accidental calculator" problem is well known.
Recalibrate the screen, but when it comes time to tap the lower right cross, hit a spot slightly below the cross. This should fix that problem.
