Sadly this is all too common of an occurrence. What is sprint doing to help keep
problems like this from becoming chronic?  Is it just me or is Sprint 
particularly bad about this?

I guess the reason that I'm bringing this up here is I wonder if these types of 
problems are the result of any particular choices Sprint made in their 
design....  If so I would like to know how to avoid them. :)

I know that hardware fails and things break, but Sprint has had (in my opinion) 
more than it's share of problems.
