RAZR Spontaneous Restart?

I wanna know if this is a common occurance, or just my phone. I find my razr will spontaneously restart on occasion, sometimes up to 4 times a day. Also, the battery lasts about a day, and i have to charge it every night. Now, i do use it every day, and i never turn it off. Do I
A) Need to start turning my phone off when i charge it?
Or
B)Need a new battery?

Or is this something thats common with all razrs (i'm pretty sure it isn't)

Forgot to mention that i can drop it, and it'll be fine.

I don't personally own a RAZR, but I have two friends that do, and they both told me that their battery only lasts a day and thats without talking. I was told that if they charged the phone overnight, and then take it in the morning and leave it on standby all day, then it will be down to one bar by the end of the day. This is without talking.

Might just be your phone. I get several days of standby with my Razr, and a ton (never timed it)
of actual talk time.

My Razr never spontaneously rebooted, and I could get 4-5 days between charges if I wasn't talking/playing java games a lot.

Hmmm, maybe i should invest in a new battery. My standby time is roughly 36 hours, but i send a lot of txts (not sure how much this wastes) and i average maybe 20-30 calls.

Another thing that I found helped was to turn the phone off and to plug it into a wall charger, and let it charge to full. That got me a little more life.

my brother had a problem like this it just kept restarting all by its self,
called cingular and they sounded like this is a common problem and they were sending replacement
also battery life: i have a similar problem, but only if i use my bluethooth headset,
if i sont use it i can get like 2 1/2 days
