in normal use this is imposibile, what reason is for that abnormal use of phone.

[pikipirs]

I assure you: this is very possible in normal use. This happens while scrolling in Opera, while playing a quick tapping game, even while typing a message. --Please keep in mind that this video shows a method to DUPLICATE a bug. Of course rapidly tapping the start menu doesn't make any sense in real life usage! :)

Any phone will have a problem if you tap it a million times in one go like that!! Although I have to mention I have heard of quite a few problems with this phone which is a pity as I was going to get one.

[pikipirs]

Bare in mind that this is a bug replication procedure. One of course shoudn't threat his/her phone that way. On the other hand, this thing is (still) occuring in everyday application. You've seen a Panel selector - when pressing the Panel button, and right when a different panel is tapped, it freezes like that. Or in a multimedia panel, while searching for a song (and dragging the song list), it freezes and then jumps to somewhere random in the list. It is annoying.

Not to say the X1 is bad. It just has some issues (don't they all? :) ). This being one of them.

not really based on the phone, the phone is great quick fast has lot of ram looks great feels great, its windows mobile, strip it down load a custom rom that strips all the SE addin crap and the phone will run alot better.
