I got my Pearl on Dec. 5 and everything has been working fine for the most part. It locked up one time and I had to remove the battery.

Anyways, here is my strange problem. The last three mornings in a row, the first time I tried to use my Pearl, the end button will not work. This will last for about 15-20 minutes and then all of a sudden the end button will start working again. Its almost the like the end button is not waking up. The first time I noticed it was three days ago, when I woke up, got on to media net to check weather and several other categories. I was probably 7 or 8 pages in, I hit the end key to take me back to the home page and it didn't work. So I had to hit the back key(was working) 8 times to get me back to the home page. Same thing for the last three mornings.

Any thoughts?

I've had my pearl for a few weeks using the cingular firmware load. Haven't ever experienced the problem you describe.

Try upgrading the OS. Maybe it was a bug.

I noticed that when I upgraded to the Tmo pearl it was fine but would occasionally get sluggish on me.. now that I have upgraded to the latest tmo OS for the pearl it seems to be alot better.. its only bee like 2 days for me but the upgrade went flawless and things look better. big improvement in BBmaps.
