Return it.. same here in Germany, there probably was, and still is, a mass production of faulty touchstones! It's unbelievable they haven't fixed this yet, apparently there's a pretty damn poor quality control.

That helps imho only temporarily. Those touchstones are broken, I don't know about you guys but I will never buy a 50 Euro accessory (that's $75 and how much it costs here) which I still have to fix by patches or pieces of tape on top of it. Palm needs to take care about their quality control. Three out of four tochstones in many O2 stores here are broken.....

I don't know that it is actually justifying a problem, just offering one kind of solution, but as always, there is more than one way to skin a cat.  A lot of these patches fix issues that PALM has no intention of resolving for one reason or another.  And even when they do, sometimes the patch does a better job of it (I.E. the text forwarding patch).  I agree, if you can take the Touchstone back and get one that works correctly without spending money, then that is absolutely the route you should take, but if that option is not available, there are other ways of working around the issue.  My 2cents for the day... 

Next thing you know, people will be telling you to do crazy stuff, like jamming pieces of paper into your phone to fix issues with it shutting off 

Hehe, yeah, but I guess this will never happen
