I had this happen to me. Thankfully I had a butter knife to slash the guy with. He learned his lesson real quick.
P.S. Mr Burglar, if you wan't your arm back...its in my freezer.
If you're spending your own money...I say no PDA phone is worth it yet (just a few more years). I have a PDA phone for work...its ok, but I'm glad I didn't spend my money on it.
Sounds like bad drivers. Use Driver Cleaner to remove old NVIDIA and ATI drivers. Then reinstall latest ATI drivers. Hopefully that will clear things up.
Here is what I have. I like it a lot. ZERO dead pixles or stuck pixles. If you go LCD I recomend buy from circuitcity(where I got mine) or Best Buy. Some thing along those lines. That way if there are Dead/stuck pixels you can return it and get a diff one.
