HTC Vogue Haywire Madness, Help Please!

[stereologic]

I only wish I could understand what the hell is going on. When I first bought this phone, I thought it was a gem, it was fast, responsive, and did everything I could possibly want it to do. However I have been noticing the speed starting to fade away. On one occasion my touch screen stopped responding all together, which corrected itself about 2 hours later. Once and awhile my phone likes to take about half an hour to boot up. And I would also like to mention that my phones battery life for some reason seems to keep getting worse, like now i get about 8 hours of life without talking or using any applications at all. However on this fateful saturday, where everything seems just peachy, my screen has now stopped responding and 2 out of 3 times, the boot up process freezes. It's telling me I have a voice mail when I don't, I've checked about 8 times.

I want this phone to stop existing. But until then, if anyone has any ideas, anything at all to help me along, it's greatly appreciated.
