BlackBerry 8100 Pearl - Crashes

The javascript errors, etc continue to plague the Pearl. Often times I wake up to find that all the chat applications (GTalk and the built in IM app) have both crashed. However, it does seem the Pearl does some sort of auto recovery on the BB application so that emails continues to come through. Battery life has improved after cycling through several charge cycles. I can use it for a typical full day now including instant messaging, email, and talking maybe 15-30 minutes total. Don't expect to go out that evening and have power to spare!

Postives?
1. Charges FAST. Very nice. Seems like it can fully charge in about 1 to 1.5 hours. (Moto Q seems to take about 4-5 hours, and the HTC Wizard -aka 8125 about 1.5 to 2 hours, while the HTC Hermes or 8525 takes about 2-2.5 hours to charge). Note these are seat of the pants numbers. The E62 seems to take about 3 to 3.5 hours, but it has the biggest battery.
2. Small. Can barely feel in my pocket.
3. Light. Can barely feel in my pocket.
4. Good bright screen.
5. Easiest of all the devices to dial a phone number.
