I'm not talking dropping it, I'm talking pass it quickly from one hand to the other with a firm stop. My intuition tells me the phone is experiencing a momentary interuption of power. I've also noticed that the screen doesn't go completely 'off', but rather it's on, but displaying all black. The only thing I can do is press and hold the power switch, which makes the phone boot up as though it was turned off.
I'm going back to the store tomorrow to hopefully get a replacement.

That is the exact same for me too. Nice work!
I added this issue to the sticky "Buglist for Pre" post (others are mentioning it too). The link to my post in that thread is here, if needed: forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=1646103&posted=1#post1646103
In that post I linked to this thread and the one started by Tikerz.
