This model showed up about May 2012 so it could be old and in need of replacement. Figure 2 years of good times.

Yeup, thats been happening to my friends phone as well! She had the phone for a good 2 -3 years so now she got a new phone! If you dont want a new phone, and your phone keeps freezing, take out the battery in the back!
