k_nitin_r 8 Report post Posted November 19, 2011 I have had the Nokia E72 for almost a year now and it has been running without a single crash or hang for over a year. Recently, it has started developing electronic glitches - the home screen sometimes goes blank but the menus are still visible. Phone calls aren't hung up while the screen goes blank. It's almost as though someone yanked out the memory card... when that happens, the wallpaper disappears leaving the theme's background color but in this case the background color appear white instead of with the theme's color.The problem only occurred once, but I see my Nokia E72 going the way of my iPhone - the iPhone crashes, hangs, displays the grey apple screen for a couple of minutes, and sometimes even refuses to do anything except answer calls - all of these are fixed by a reboot but it is annoying to have a phone do that to you.So far, all of my phone purchases have been because the phone quits working or stops operating normally so I guess the time has come for a new phone. I might hold on to the Nokia E72 for another few months before putting it in the bin and getting another phone. It feels unethical to sell something that you know does not work perfectly but some people still do it - I'd rather just leave it in the recycling bin for the cell phone company to salvage whatever they can and make a new cell phone.Does anyone else have the year-long expiry of their smart phones or do your phones get lost or trashed long before the electronics within give up?
