Any way to calibrate the touchscreen or...
reset the phone to original settings / wipe the phone WITHOUT using the actual touchscreen? Mine is not functioning and was hoping to avoid an ESN change to a new unit (they take a week with my owner account).
Thanks

None that I've seen or heard of. It doesn't require the same type of calibration that a touch-sensitive screen requires. However, it can get out of alignment from time to time, which is fixed by a battery pull. I've seen it a couple time in five months with mine.

Best suggestion I have based on what I've seen is this. Uninstall and applications you can simply reinstall without hassle. Then do a full backup on BDM.

Load Blackberry Desktop Manager and plug in the phone. Once ready, click on Application Loader. The phone will be read for a few seconds. Once it's done, you'll see some applications that can be selected (check boxes) to add or remove them. On the bottom right side of the applications screen is a "Settings" button, click on it. In there you will find an option to "Delete all application data," select it, and continue. This should get you as close to a wipe as possible. If you don't need any data, don't bother to do any kind of backup. If you DO need your data, you might want to do a backup first.
