I'm not putting much stock in these early replies, since it's come to light that a 30 count unwanted reboot (10 actual reboots) renders the device as bricked.

ps. Reboots happened with and without extra installed apps.

I only got as far as setting the time/date on mine.
Immediately following that, it went into a non-stop reboot cycle.
I tried the R&D mode trick to reset brick mode, and even though I was unable to enter R&D mode, then go back to production mode, once in production mode it was bricked for good. Contacted Nokia customer support, and they said to return it :-(
I didn't even try to flash it. Having never had the opportunity to change anything on the device, I figured the problem was not the flash.

Those with no reboots, how heavy are you using the N900??
Maybe its just power users that experience the "occasional reboots"

There is a quick-fix for this. Also, nokia has informed that this is a driver issue due to (un)expected spread in HW specs, and will be fixed.
In any case the device should not be continuosly run in "rebooting mode", as this will corrupt the filesystem.

A friend of mine is a Nokia service engineer... and I witnessed his device to reboot twice in as many hours, straight after reflash, with the device still in vanilla state.
First was while downloading mclock from app manager. Rebooted while still downloading.
The second, I believe was while writing an SMS.
...good thing mine works flawlessly

I just now had my first unexpected reboot.
Phone was idle. I had it too close to the computer so I heard that annoying GSM connect sound (the one a phone does routinely), so I grabbed it to move it farther away from the computer. That's when I noticed the white screen with NOKIA, and then the five small boot balls.
I had a browser, contacts, hp42 open. No excessive memory or CPU usage (it had been idle since last night). The only abnormality was that the last day it's had a screen refresh problem with the icon mode - when hitting 'more apps' and scrolling I could still see the first icons in the background.

All times are GMT. The time now is 17:47.
Immediately following that, it went into a non-stop reboot cycle.
It would reboot, get as far as displaying the desktop background, the led would then turn on white for about a second, fade to off, and reboot.
Waiting for a replacement now. I wasn't too upset with having to return it, since I have hopes of getting one with fewer dead pixels in addition to actually functioning.
BTW, does anyone know if Nokia has a dead-pixel policy? Mine had at least nine. One all by its lonesome and a cluster of at least 8 near the center that was really, really obvious.
