I had my phone connected to my computer and had bitpim retrieving the files when I disconnected my phone from the usb cable having forgotten that I was still in bitpim and my touch shut off. I didn't notice for a bit until I tried to use it and realized that it was off, I tried turning it back on and it wouldn't even load the verizon screen. I took out the battery and put it back in and tried powering it on again, no luck. Here's where I start to freak out, I mean I just got this phone a couple weeks ago and all

. I started to give up hope but then decided to take the battery out and put it back in again and it miraculously worked

Anyways, my point is be careful with bitpim, and don't disconnect your phone when it's retrieving the files from your touch - it will f*** things up.
