Sorry to bump this but I was browsing and came across this. I just tried what you suggested and it happens to me as well! But hopefully it shouldn't be much of a big deal as I would normally type with the phone in my hand rather than flat on a surface anyways.
Although I do plan to use it as GPS navigation device in my car if the opportunity arises...

Just so you know, I had a Sprint Hero a Verizon Droid and now an unlocked Telus HTC Hero and all three had this problem. The Sprint Hero was the worst of the three.
It's not a bug, it's a feature.
I did a test.
To my shock, my sister has the t-mobile G2 touch and hers is totally responsive when not being held. Whereas my original HTC Hero is hardly responsive when not held.
A poster above also stated that after the t-mobile update their screen was responsive. So I reckon the t-mobile update somehow corrected this.
I reckon its an issue with the generic HTC Hero rom (off their site) and could hopefully be corrected in the next update.
Can anyone with a G2 touch confirm that their screen is responsive when not held?

One finger while the phone is on a flat surface?
Maybe both the t-mobile and orange roms had corrected this problem?

Im using a unlocked uk version and it has this problem. I find that the letters "a" and 'l" are the most unresponsive. Probably because their on the side more? "q" and "p" are also unresponsive but not as bad as "a" and "l". I thought i had a faulty phone when i first discovered this, but it didnt always happen. Guess its true that it needs to be grounded. Thanks for pointing this out.
