I don't know if it is your device, the model, or you. I take your word that you are careful with your stuff, so it would seem it has to be one or the other of the first two. But you may get a lot of responses to the contrary. All the BlackBerrys I've owned have held up for the most part and are either still in use as handmedowns to another user or kept by me as a backup device, and in full working order. (The exception is my first, a 7100t, on which the radio quit shortly into the third year, which I was happy with as an excuse to get a new BlackBerry.)
