So this was just plain weird.

Last week I went on holiday in Turkey and my Storm connected to the Vodafone Turkey network. My phone kept crashing all the time, it simply rebooted out of itself. I started paying attention and I noticed some error screen (white background with text) and something about a Modem Error. Every time the phone rebooted and it connected and after a mere two or three minutes it rebooted (crashed) again. So I started to try and manually switch networks. It didn't work. Pulled the battery several times. Zip. I turned all the mobile connections off and magically my phone remained intact for the whole week.

I returned home the other day and everything is fine again. WTF happened? Did anyone else ever experience forgeign crashes?

Sorry to hear you were having issues, that had to be irritiating being without a phone.
Was this using the Verizon/Vodaphone SIM card provided with your phone? If so, Verizon can provide technical support...
Or did you unlock your Storm and use a Vodaphone Turkey SIM?
