Unintended Factory Reset?

Has anyone else accidentally done a factory reset when all they wanted to do was reboot the phone?

Twice now, I was insanely careful to press ONLY the power button when turning on my phone, and was unpleasantly greeted by that nefarious "Master Reset- please wait..." type screen.

Firstly, why doesn't it ask before doing a master reset? It seems to only take a button sequence, and sometimes not even that.

Secondly, why is my phone doing a master reset when I know I'm only pressing the power button and not the blue action button as well (the proper master reset sequence)?

Is mine the only one doing this? I guess it's not too bad as it only takes me about 60 minutes to re-sync, reinstall and reconfigure everything, but it's just so annoying.

BTW, the phone is at the latest release firmware, if anyone is wondering...

Otherwise, I'm still enjoying the phone.
