    I've had one of theses useless lumps from Virgin Media since April.
    up
    Every so often it freezes up and the optical control won't work for anything from a few minutes to 3 hours.

    Is this a common problem with them?

    Never happened to me. Sounds like a faulty handset.

    Yeah it happens with mine every so often too. I usually end up taking the battery out and restarting.

    Aye it's a common problem mate,but the most likely cause is a loose screw behind the track pad,take the back off your phone,remove the battery and you should be able to see a little screw(it may have a white cover on the screw head) just tighten a little and it should resolve the problem.
