I wouldn't "live it it." What is now a "bit irritating" or a "minor
annoyance" could get really irritating and a real pain in the uh...
posterior in a few months. Besides, it's not right. The Treo 650 isn't
cheap, it should work correctly out of the box. I know it's a pain to
exchange something like this, especially after you've already gotten
everything set up, but believe me, it'll work on you like a toothache --
and, as with a toothache, you want to avoid going to the dentist as long
as possible -- but once you've done it, you'll wonder why you put off so
long.

Good luck.
