For the short term, try the tape on the battery trick. When you have a chance, walk in the store and have them give you a new phone. They will. Verizon has been great about this with the Voyager and Glyde. Make sure you have your receipts and stuff.
It seems that the problem came in "batches" so chances are a new Glyde will do the trick. Without that touchscreen problem its a pretty good phone and a simple exchange might be the best idea.
