found a problem with pocket solutions belt holster and cingular 8125....

I kept having a problem with my 8125. Every time I would pull the phone out of it's holster (a pocket solutions holster) the phone would be in landscape mode instead of portrait mode, even though the keyboard was secure and not slid out. It pissed me off - 2 rings later the screen would go back to portrait and be ok. I called cingular, they couldn't help. I called HTC, they couldn't help. So I kept calling the hell out of my phone to try identify the problem, and it seeming the phone only messed up in landscape mode when I pulled it out of the holster..........bingo - There are 2 big magnets on the side of the holster that hold it closed - every time my phone is pulled past these magnets on it's way out, the screen changed to landscape!! It is the holster, not the phone. The magnets are making the phone think that the keyboard is opening when it isn't. I just sent an email to pocket solutions, I will let you guys know what they do. I hope that these magnets don't do any damage to my expensive phone!
