3 weeks out of warranty? Go to the Motorola website and find the proper support page to punch in the IMEI; it'll tell you if you're out of warranty or if the tech/rep was full of it.

Sweet, thanks! Unfortunately, the only part of the Motorola website that seems to be not working right now is where you enter your IMEI. The rest of the Droid support page loads fine, but where there's a little box that says "Check product warranty", all it says underneath is Network Error.
Haha, it's all a big conspiracy against me! Or maybe they're having site issues, and I'll just have to check it later.
EDIT: Ok, so apparently my warranty is still valid til March 2011. Hmm...trickery is afoot.

"Sounds to me," he said, puffing absently on his pipe and eyeing the serving wench with more lust in his gaze than was good for a man in his position and physical condition, "like someone's pulling a fast one."
Print the page out and take it to Verizon. Tell them that if they aren't willing to process your warranty request that you will report this behavior to corporate and deal with Motorola directly.

Wow, the exact same thing started on my D1 a few days ago. Only OEM chargers have ever been used, and I'm rooted running Ultimate Droid 2.5.0. I got a new battery thinking it might be a failing power supply, and that fixed the problem for a short time. Now it is unusable. VZW said that my 1 year manufacturer's warranty is up, and that insurance seems to have been accidentally canceled and I have to take that up with the Assurion. Wow.
I'm so glad I saw this post, Moto says my phone is under waranty until Feb 2011. But that shows up in a pop up little thing on the lower left when I enter my Serial Number. Where did you find a page you can print out?
EDIT: nevermind, found the moto page for it: http://servicemyphone.motorola.com/iden/support/showUnitSearch.do?singleUnitSearch=true
Is there an easy unrooted ROM I can flash? is that the best way?

If you're unrooting your device the best method is to flash stock SBF. It doesn't really matter what version, but the latest is here.

Flashing unrooted SBF. I am literally crying inside.
With the Moto warranty showing it is until 2/2011, will VZW honor it?

If Motorola says the warranty is good then Verizon should honor it provided your phone is unrooted -- rooting voids your warranty, as you well know.
If Verizon refuses to honor the warranty (it's good for 12 months from date of sale) then you can report the behavior at the store and then contact Motorola directly about getting a replacement.

unfortunately i bought the phone on nov 26th, 2009. But Moto shows the warranty as going until Feb 2011. Weird huh?

Contact Motorola about it first thing in the morning.

Use it for a while -- you'll notice the keys start to "bubble", which will increase the tactile feedback to a more useful level.
I started another topic about this with my Droid2, and I'm wondering if that's it. I stopped carrying it in the case because it literally looked like I was carrying a gun on me. Hmm. Its sitting on my desk, I let it 'dry' for a few minutes and it seems to be okay now...
My Droid 1 went totally crazy and unresponsive today. I've had previous issues where the landscape touch screen no longer works when slid all the way up after using a protective case from verizon.
Today, my Droid decided to do what it wanted and extremely slowing and freezing non stop. It is now working again after deleting the antivirus program I put on last week (avg). I would advise anyone having issues to uninstall any recently added apps.
By the way, my phone is all original and not rooted.

Yeah, there are reasons why we say no antivirus and no task killers.
