A few examples of CrackBerry "coverup"

Has your Bold 9930 turned itself off and not restarted?

2 Month old 9900 bricked itself (slow red blink, blank screen)

Over two months, and no response from RIM on bricking.

9900 bricked after overnight charge

Has your 9900/9930 Bricked itself?

RIM's Silence on the Bricking Issue

Crackberry knows more about the bricking issue in the 9900 and they are hidding it

9900
Had since launch day last August
Used pretty much all official and leaked OS
Mexico 4 070811
Black

Mine is charged overnight every night. Only issue I had was one morning my berry was completely dead - wouldn't turn on and had a flashing red led. Battery pull got it going again. That was as close to it got to bricking. The only thing different that day was in charged from a completely drained battery...I haven't let it get that low since and it hasn't happened again.

Sorry for not following format, but the only problem i have with my bold is people always ask "wait is that touchscreen too?!" and then they play with it for ten minutes.

That same thing happened to me yesterday morning. Well...I didn't have the flashing red led, but my BB wouldn't turn on until I did a battery pull. Never had anything like that happen before and it's been fine ever since.

Model: 9900
How long with no issues: Since I got it in November until yesterday morning (see above).
What OS versions you installed: Latest official AT&T os - 7.0.0.576

Beside the one little hitch, I've had no problems here. I let my BB charge overnight most times too. It's an awesome little berry I have!

I tested it for overnight charging and self nuking. I charge it overnight almost every day. And manually nuked it and loaded leaks and official OS few times my self. No problem faced yet.

Concerning nuking and bricking... I believe bricking, like death, is defined as a permanent cessation of function. So if your phone is somehow revived, it was never bricked, but only nuked, where nuking is understood to be a "near brick experience."
