Default OTish: NiMH failure mode

The other day, without warning, the battery in my mobile died. It still
appeared to have about 80% charge in it at lunchtime, in the afternoon
when I next looked at it, it wouldn't even switch on. I had left it on, I
normally do because I get a good week's use on one charge. A couple of
people I have talked to say that this has happened to them. I only have
had a couple of this type of battery, so my sample size is too small to be
meaningful. There must be some of you out there who have much larger
experience of NiMH. How often does this sort of total failure occur
relative to gradual?
