Default Airplane Mode... BOOO..Hisss

Bought the phone on Saturday 4/17/10 @ 8:49 PM..
The sales rep pulled them out the box, charged them in the store.. loaded my contacts and stuff from other phone. Got home around 9:45pm..by 10:30pm the phone went into airplane mode. I HADN'T MADE ONE PHONE CALL YET !!! I was just trying to figure out how the damn thing worked..
So after taking 20min to calm down .. i picked the phone back up.. shut it off and rebooted & airplane mode was gone. I made sure the airplane mode was 'OFF' and monitored the phone for about an hour. In the mean time i download a Stopwatch app, a Bible app, and Pandora Radio app.. 20min later it went into Airplane mode. So, i turned on Wi-Fi (to test apps).. and i noticed the Airplane Mode kept going on & off.. So i made sure all apps where closed and shutdown wi-fi and reboted phone.

NOW, i noticed when we got home that our signal strenght was really, really low. So not sure if that had anything to do with it.

** DAY 2 **
Sunday, we leave for church, and the phone had been on the charger all night, turned off.. I turned on the phone while leaving and it was fine for about 2 hourse and then it went into airplane mode, which was okay with that since i was @ church. But, i didn't place it in airplane mode. So i went and made sure wi-fi was off, and no airplane mode for the rest of the day on Sunday

** Today ** I woke up this morning and the phone was in Airplane mode while it was on the charger all night with the power 'ON' and wifi 'ON'..so i shut down wi-fi, reboot phone.. and it's been fine so far today. Then in researching the issue, i came across this thread..i turned 'OFF' GPS only, as mentioned in another post, and i will see how that works, and will keep everyone posted on the different adjustments.

If i can't get this to act right over the next week, i'm going back to the store, and being placed on waiting list for the new HTC EVO.
