BB Torch :: Uncaught Exception: Index 31 >=31 "error 603"

I have a new Torch, one week old.Screen freezing up often, many icons don't work by touch screen or scroll button. Have gotten a few error messages and rebooted (take out battery) numerous times:"uncaught exception: Index 31 >=31" "error 603" (think was the number, i am paraphrasing)"uncaught exception: Application net_rim_bb_messaging_app (110) is not responding; process terminated"blackberry instant message app process terminated" paraphrasing.The icons that I cannot get to work include: "messages"(e-mail), "text messages", "browser"....Still, does not work. Some items do work upon reboot ("contacts", "camera", "clock", "google apps" including e-mail via that....)
