Most Android phone can take screen shots by pressing the power and home buttons at same time. Have not been able to do this with duraforce. Any suggestions?

Our Torques have been unbelievably buggy since day one. For the first few months, they were a constant problem, just barely usable. They finally got the firmware updates to where the phones are usable, but they are still noticeably buggy, especially compared to my wife's iPhone4, which has had zero problems.

I don't see in the details of the phone what is included as accessories? Looking to see if the plain old clip comes with it?
