I am using new files with my 601/sidecar

I have the issue and agree with Kevin, though I do mostly use it on  
hook. I have also noticed the end call or speakerphone button to be  
inoperative at times. It definately appears they have a bug and are  
not reading keypress in a timely fashion. I have also notice the  
sidecar has resumed its frequent rebooting again, had died down  
somewhat with the 2.0 code stream, but is back more often now with  
the 2.1. The phone is fine, but the sidecar will reboot randomly -  
whether idle or on a call.
