iPhone 4 won't stop vibrating

Today I was surfing the net and my iPhone 4's screen went black and proceeded to vibrate nonstop. I was suggested to hold the Lock and home button to reset, but that did not work. I am now waiting for the battery to go dead. Has anyone else ran into this issue?

My wife's iPhone 4 just had the same problem. The screen went black (i.e. off) with the phone vibrating continuously. It would not respond to the power button on top or the home button or any combination of the two buttons for any given duration for about an hour. Somehow I was then able to get it to reset and back to normal but I'm really not sure how I did so...

Mine is doing the same thing. So far:

1) 1st iPhone camera appeture (sp?) wouldn't open, so they repalced it immediately.
2) 2nd iPhone wouldn't sync contacts correctly, now it's like the phone merged my contacts.
3) Face to face feature doesn't work
4) Now, it won't stop vibrating ... so I am headed to the Apple Store soon.

This is frustrting. I'm tempted to trade it for the 3G and call it a day. IPhone 4: I'm not happy.

Exactly the same happened to me today - was in the office and the phone started vibrating, black screen - couldn't do anything... Tried reseting it, took the sim out, still vibrating. Called the apple helpline after an hour of vibrating and the representative seemed genuinely amused.... Anyways, after the battery run out the phone started working again... But still getting a replacement on Friday. Must be a common occurrence as there seem to be a lot of people reporting this!
