I don't recall having to reboot my Motorola Q every day. Now that I run Sprite Backup, it does get rebooted every day, but it's not any more noticeable than having to unlock the phone each morning (just like if the password timeout expired).

I agree that people want their phones to be reliable, but they should realize that the more the phones become like traditional PCs (including installing unknown software), the less reliable they'll be.
