Don't worry about that, Boba. The firmware will probably even survive the GSM network. As I wrote before it needs something like a strong magnetical field or liquide damage to kill a phone's firmware. As long as nothing bad like this happens to the phone it will work.
I think most of our phones will die someday due to dried out capacitors and similar problems. electronical components like capacitors only have a limited lifetime. Maybe some collector already made the experience that a phone he left for a long time in the display suddenly just don't work anymore. This is somehow due to an aging process.
But this is nothing to be afraid of. In maybe 10 years there might be no GSM network anymore due to new and better technologies and all our phones won't work anymore. Time changes and things changes but our phones will still be nice collector's items

On older phones up to 8xx series: Yes, you can get new cells and you can open the battery housing without destruction if you're carefully.
On later phones: I don't think so. The BUS batteries for example have a gel package inside and I don't believe that you will manage to find a one that fits. But you can save some spare batteries since they last a very long time if you don't use them.

the aging process is a good point tho. how long a phone can be off? i mean, the one im talking about has been several years off. so i'd like to know if there's any chance for this.

@tranced:
it depends on how long the battery has been left in the phone. Even a switched off phone consumes a little battery power so there is a discharging process. I once bought GA318 batteries that were produced 9 years ago. I charged/discharged them 2 or 3 times and they were working like brand new ones. On the other hand I have seen a lot of T28 with the battery left inside and the batteries were totally dead after 6 months.
The phones in my collection all have little stickers on the battery contacts so that they are disconnected. I wonder how many years they will survive that way

*jojo,
Re the touch screen of the r380s, you can input your txt (only) using the stylus by writing/scrolling on the screen. That's it. Text only. No scribbles whatsoever. Even if the latest sofware is r4a (i think) for the r380, I will stick to the original one in my unit. Menu and response are quite slow but I can manage as long as it is working.
For software upgrade of old models like this (r380), just follow the adage: IF IT AINT BROKEN, DONT FIX IT. Had a bad experience upgrading my old r380 before. It went dead and the official Ericsson distributor told me that it was due to the mother-board being old and corrupted files. Or perhaps, because of the reasons mentioned by Rosewhite when dealing with old Ericsson phones.
