LG VX-8500 Chocolate

Does anyone else have this problem: Frequently when I slide open the phone (I would say about 25% of the time on average), it automatically goes to the "recently dialed" menu and automatically dials the most recent number called (or received). It's really, really frustrating. And if it does it, which forces me to slide the phone shut to hang up, it's likely to do it several more times before stopping. And no, I'm not opening the phone with my finger on the "dial" touchkey...

Anyone else have this problem? I tried adjusting the sensitivity of the touchpad to "low", figuring that the jolt of sliding open the phone might be automatically setting off the dial button several times, but the problem remains...
