The ease with which they _can_ be updated is, I fear, letting people release software that just should be not released. I have had several Ericsson feature phones that were wonderfully stable. I know it was possible to update them, but it was not easy. (And this is infecting other products that rely on firmware. I have a DVB-T settop box that needs hard rebooting every few months. Why? Because something overflows with time and crashes the box! It's a device designed to be powered on 24/7 so this is a terrible bug that should never have made it into production. Okay; rant over.)

There are bricks made a thousand years ago that are still bricking just like new. I'd love to have a phone that compared favorably to a brick. -- Drew

No hardware bugs that I've found. And I don't rush the firmware updates - I wait for Sony. It may well be the best phone I've ever had. Currently plan to hang onto it until it dies. Wade.
