Phone issues

[cyrano]

The Pre has been grumpy lately, occasionally freezing up for a while, indicating its displeasure at being used. Today it bricked. I plugged it in, and nothing happened. I popped the battery and replaced it, and the phone grudgingly restarted.

This should serve as a warning--I am looking at replacement phones, but if this one goes tits up suddenly, people who text me or expect me to have email access pretty constantly should be prepared for a shock.
