mine is doin exact same. thought my phone had crashed until i nearly snapped
the joystick and it worked. think it may be dust inside as my screen is full
of it thanks to the huge gap all round the joystick

Yep - I've had mine for about a year and its definitely doing that,
more so on the up/down than on the left/right.

Yep, mines doing the same... and it's in most directions that I've noticed
it. It's a real pain in the a.s when texting and you're trying to move
between characters!

I think it's a build up of crap and dust on the contacts inside the phone!
As someone else mentioned, the big gap around the joystick lets all sorts
in! Which to me is a bad design fault, they should have tried some kind of
sealed unit... my 7650 never had this problem!
