e71 hospitalised too

as if things can't get any worse, my e71 decided to go berserk on me.
and this was right after a firmware update by nokia yesterday.
the phone gets all hot and the battery drains out in less than half a day.

no fring, no internet, no email access.
nothing, absolutely nothing.
ugh.
i am going through a withdrawal from being 'connected'.
it's just ARRRGH!
and BAH on the substitute phone. just don't like it.
