HTC Touch Dual Dying?

[Phillip Dyson]

I've been using the HTC Touch Dual (20-key) for about 7 or 8 months now. Within the past few months I've noticed that it tends to either go to sleep and not wake up. In these cases I have to remove the battery. Or completely shut down on its own. Other simptoms include rapid battery drain as well.

Has anyone else experienced this with the Dual?
