What the **** is up with cell phones?

Its called Planned Obsolescence.

One of his major projects was to do computer design studies and testing on the design of their heavy flatbed cars so design them to where they would fall apart at a specific mileage. The warranty ended 500 miles before this specific mileage point.

I retired from a major RR after 34 years of service. Although I had NEVER heard of that being done, I wouldn't doubt it too much - especially if it kept the cost of the new equipment way down.
Of course there is still a major safety issue involved if that really did occur. IMHO

My Verizon Crackberry has shut down and reset on it's own at least 15 times over the last 3 days!!!!

I have a Blackberry that is going to the range as soon as I get a new one. I will find some kind of creative way to destroy it since it has been nothing but a pain in my a$$ since it was new.

My cell phone that I have loved up until about a week ago is going to drive me nuts!!! It's worked great since I got it, but now that I'm almost ready for an upgrade, the darn thing has been shutting down on its own - sometimes it comes back on by itself, and others I have to turn it back on, and then today my email stopped working - that only took two hours and a total reset/erasure of the phone to get corrected. My wife's phone is also starting to act up, although it's been a little tempermental for a while. It's almost like there is some kind of "upgrade" for the phones that you automatically get when you're closing in on an upgrade date that makes your phone act up so you want to spend money on a new one.

That's why I will never buy a smartphone.

Been having similar issues with my HTC Incredible lately, so I finally broke down and rooted it last night. 100% worth it. It's running faster than when I got it, and battery life went way up

Never say never.
