You're friend may have the dreaded "squiggles" problem where input on the
screen is misread. This is most often caused by dirt that gets trapped
between the screen and the case causing false input to be read. The
solution is to take a business card or, even better, a thin piece of
plastic and run it between the screen and the case all the way around the
PDA trying to dislodge and remove any trapped grit. This has solved the
problem for many. To prevent this in the future, a good screen protector
helps.
