Simple Application Installs Bricking My Tour?

I don't know if its just me or what, but I keep having simple installs or upgrades of applications totally bricking my phone. First, the new BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 got it stuck at "Reload Software: 552" and now upgrading Facebook 1.7 got it stuck in a never ending reboot loop.

Both times I was able to just erase and reflash the entire phone on my PC, but I was never able to recover it without totally erasing everything and reinstalling system software. I'm not using any leaked/hacked OSes or anything, I'm running the official Verizon 4.7.1.40 OS.

Are Blackberries supposed to be this sensitive to just installing or upgrading simple user apps? Am I doing something wrong or loading them incorrectly? I'm about to go buy a Droid if this is just how Blackberries work...

it's not just you. i've had apps that my 8330 had no problem with just destroy the tour's os. have had to wipe it 5 times in the 6 weeks i've owned it.

Double post.

This has been discussed. Use the search button.
I have never had a 552 error with the multiple themes and apps I have downloaded and used.
That being said search and let this thread die.
