I hope someone can help me!

I've got an MPx220 and really love it, BUT I've been having real problems lately.

I've had mine since about December and recently started having the "suddenly
dead" problem. Charge it every night, but suddenly in the morning when I turn it
off, it complains about being almost dead.

this happened a few times sporadically then a couple of weeks ago I couldn't get
it to charge at all. Went to Cingular and they gave me a new battery.
The new battery definitely helped. It charges better and holds the charge longer
BBBBBBUUUUUUUUTTTTTTT

I don't think it was/is just the battery, seems like it's the connectors(?)
I have the USB cable and it is quite reliable, but I have a car charger and TWO
regular chargers, (one came with the phone, the other with my bluetooth headset)
Neither of the regular chargers NOR the car charger will hold a connection.
When I first plug them in, it indicates it's charging then quickly seems to drop
the "connection". Will not keep the "charging connection". I might buy one
charger being bad, but 3 seems very unlikely.

Now suddenly I'm having another problem - The last couple of nights, when I plug
in the USB cable, the phone immediately shuts down. I had to power it back on,
connect ,several times before it finally stayed on. Then it charged just fine.
But it did the same thing last night AND caused my laptop to freeze.

What the hell is going on here?
Has anyone seen these problems?
Do I need to uninstall the driver and reinstall, reinstall ActiveSync, what????
Or do I need to contact Motorola?
Do I need to upgrade the firmware?

I see there's a newer version, but hesitate to upgrade and have to reinstall all
my apps, etc, if I don't have to.

As a side note, can anyone tell me exactly what the latest firmware upgrade will
"fix"?


Thanks for any help/suggestions!
Dan

My December purchase developed those same problems around March, and I
swapped it out under warranty. Battery and phone both had unpredictable
charging behaviors. My USB and wall chargers are unchanged and both fine. The
AT&T 1.43 ROM seems faster, more resource-friendly and more stable.
