Oh my... when I think about that, I have a pretty old first generation Samsung Galaxy S (I9000). Its internal storage memory seems to be dying and quite a few apps behave erratically, including crashes and data loss. Sometimes it's stuck in an "infinite" reboot loop. So I'm pretty sure it won't last for too long.
I guess these are also probably things to watch out for when talking to customers (how old is their phone, do they store data on an external SD card, because these things can also break and silently corrupt your data. I lost a lot of photos and MP3s because of that :-) It would be great if there were some system level tool for non-rooted devices to make a proper file system and storage integrity check...
