    I just had my v220 screen go totally blank too, but I wasn't doing what you were doing though. I wasn't actually on my phone when it happened but it baffled me because my phone was around my neck the whole time. Anyways, my screen stayed blank for almost a week & then poof it reappeared like nothing had happened to begin with. I hope you have the same luck as me (or at least the same problem). It came back right after I took out my battery & sim chip so I could see about getting my phone #'s off of a different compatible phone. Maybe try taking everything out of your phone once or twice.

    I also have a v220. Well, I've had two. I bought one, and the screen went blank, not too long after I got it. I took it in, and they said a lot of the v220's and the v180's were having this problem. They took it, repaired it for free, during which I had to use a beat up old crap phone which stopped working while I had it and they tried to make me pay for it. Then a while after I got my repaied one back, it happened again. So I took it in, and they said they'd save me the hassle of a loaner phone, and they just gave me a brand v220.
