Just like you probably have to reboot your computer once in a while, same goes for the blackberry. If it takes you more than a minute to do, then you're doing something wrong.
Well, I guess I'm not that tolerant. Yes, we have to reboot our lovely Windows servers about once a month for sanity; however, rebooting a phone just seems ridiculous to me(even if it is, arguably, a "computer" of sorts).

And, the "slowdowns" or OS crashes are happening on a device that's mission critical for me- so I can't have that. My experience with the level of messages that I am receiving is that I'd have to "reboot" the phone (a pain to get the cover off, pop up the battery,etc) about 1/week.

RIM *can* get it right if they stop trying to be all things to all people. They aren't Palm after all- they are much better. We don't to be reading about RIM phones crashing and locking up the way we do our Palm "friends"
