This may be a dumb question but are you in an area with poor/spotty coverage? That could explain excessive battery drain because the phone is always searching for a signal. Could also explain the missed calls.
I know with my Centro, when the battery completely died, you had to use the wall charger, the USB charger wasn't good enough to charge the battery. By the way, Palm released an update
here that addresses usb and battery charging. Woudn't hurt to give that a try. The only thing is, if you ever do a hard reset, you have to re-install the update. Soft resets are fine.
I'e also heard of early 800w's being returned because of dead phone radios. Maybe yours is giving signs of that. It sucks that you've had 3 800w's so far, I don't think I would be that patient. I'm on my first and so far haven't really had any issues with it.
As the others have suggested, you may want do to a hard reset and start from scratch. I'd even call Sprint and have them re-provision your phone or at least double check and make sure everything is right.
Hope you get things worked out!
