I've had my EVO since early June without any major problems until last week. Since then the touchscreen freezes regularly and I have to hit the power button off and on just to get it active again. Also, it appears that sometimes the touchscreen takes on a life of its own, and other times it won't let me hit certain buttons at all. For example, when typing a "5" on the keypad it will only return "7" instead (sometimes "9" or "0"). I don't even bother writing emails longer than a few words anymore; after entering a couple of lines the keyboard goes nuts and won't let me select half the letters.
I don't know if this is due to a defective digitizer or what. The phone has never been dropped and hasn't been near water. I know trying to get a replacement is going to be a nightmare. I bought it at RadioShack.com and have heard nothing but horror stories about trying to get it swapped through them locally. And don't get me started about calling VirginMobile's support line...
