I Need som help!!!

take the battery out of your phone(important: do NOT turn the phone off before removing the battery)
the display should fade. leave the battery out for 30 seconds.
then replace the battery & try it.

Well i tried to remove the battery while the device is on, and still i have the same problem.
so i couldnt live with a device that have a problem so i went to nokia, and had a firmware upgrade.
now it works fine..
