I would be interested to know if the fixes propsed above help. They did not change my digitizer problem and I understadn we are by no menas the first to suffer the inability to acces the bottom bar when the T3 is slid out. Its been about one year since palm replaced my T3. I am concerend it will happen again, then what? Do I get a T5 or abandon palm? The latter does not seem to be an option. But the service in Canada left much to be desired and I fear more defective units. Of interest, cycling Hermes, how long have you had your T3?
