Droid 2 Gingerbread issues

[junkBird]

I have the Droid 2, and did the Gingerbread update in September 2011. Since then I have been having strange issues, and from what I have read online, I am in good company. And of course, prior to update my phone had none of these issues, and I have had it for over a year!  ...My poor Droid.

My main issue is my phone rebooting itself on it's own will...and at very random times. It locks itself up,goes black, and reboots.

It seems to get hung up, and then give up

It also will lock up and not allow the screen to orient itself in the correct direction.

I don't think I am getting some messages /emails /phone calls as they come in (as people have said "I just tried to call you"...etc.), or get a mysterious voicemail...when the phone never rung???

I have done a "soft reset" multiple times, but am afraid of tanking it entirely if I do a "hard reset".

I don't have a lot of junky apps on it either, and stay on top of what is running and not running. So I don't believe that is the problem.

Thankfully at least I have not had any battery issues.

Any help would be great...or I may be buying a new phone.

Opinions on the Bionic are also welcome!

Thanks.

Well...I went to a Verizon store yesterday, and I explained to the sales associate there what was going on. Without even having tech support look at my phone she told me to download the Gingerbread keyboard(because my keyboard wasn't working), and to just lock the orientation on the screen to solve that issue. Then to top it all of...she offered to sell me home phone service...
There was no answer as to why the phone locks up and reboots at random.
Not the best experience by any means. I just said "Well I guess I'll just see what happens"...and left.
I know she was just doing her job, but it didn't really help me at all.
