Totally agree - it shouldn't be that way. Bear in mind though, that the P800 is not reqally the same as any other phone you may have used before. The touchscreen creates it's own set of problems, as do other features of this phone, but it's something that only the individual can decide whether they are prepared to put up with the bad for the good.
Personally, I'll stick with mine 'cos I don't think it's a long way from everything I could want in a phone. But we're not all the same - otherwise it would be a pretty boring world, huh?!

I called SE to check the status of my phone, and they said a part is being replaced. The person on the phone didn't know what part. I guess I'll find out when I get the phone back, hopefully this week.
This seems to indicate that the "ghost" key presses are due to a phone defect.

Id be very interested to know which part is being replaced...
Still doing this now.. wonderring if it's anything to do with the Brando screen protector..
If whatever you get replaced fixes the problem.. I'd like mine replaced too.
And I'm not very hairy

I suspected the screen protector, too. After all, it is reducing the space between the buttons and touchscreen. Removing it did not make things any better, though. I also tried pressing the buttons with my fingers while a screen protector was in place, and the keys still required a firm press.
I wish I could get some technical info from the repair center, but the people I get on the phone aren't able to tell me anything, and they aren't allowed to forward my call to the people working on the phones.

Seem that I have such a problem but not when I'm on call, when f/c I tried to press the touch screen with a peace of cloth then it's start ticking some numbers (#3#293..) (btw number 9 & # surprised me coz it's at the bottom of the screen).
So maybe it's a factory defect with the touch screen ... or something else.

oferlaor over at HowardForums posted this:
"it happens on ALL P800s!!!
It's a bug in the software.
I'm not sure what triggers it, as I've tried to simulate it quite a few times.
Basically, when the flip is closed - try to clean (use cloth or your finger) the square where the touch screen should not be activating.
Every once in a while, you will trigger a number. The number is always one from the screen (e.g., a digit from the time, or something similar). Touching that digit, or attempting to draw out a numeric jog command does not work.
It is apparently some kind of strange glitch in the firmware.
I hope they solve it soon..."
Mine is still at SE repair, waiting for a replacement part.
