VisorPhone & recharge bug?

I've noticed a potential bug in the VisorPhone. Nearly every time I recharge my VisorPhone, I am unable to turn it back on (hold the power button for two seconds until it beeps).

I have to unplug the module and reseat it and then the phone turns on. Anyone else see this?

Haven't seen it on my visorphone. Although i don't remember ever turning off my visorphone to recharge it.

I had something happen that I had to remove the battery on the visorphone to reset it. I'm not sure if it involved charging it (though it might have), and it's never happened to me since.

Well, in the meantime, I've found a workaround that doesn't require me to take the Visor+phone out of my leather case to re-insert the Visorphone.

When I hit any of the buttons on the phone application (speed dials or keypad), a message comes up saying that "your phone is turned off, turn it on?" Tap yes, and the phone beeps but is still off. I then do a power cycle and it comes on.

So it sounds to me like after recharging when the phone is off puts it in some sort of sleep mode that either:

1) removing and re-insering into the Visor wakes it up, or
2) trying to make a call wakes it up

Works for me!
