I don't believe the results. My N900 freezes all the time, it is a piece of utter sh*te.
It freezes when I copy more music across. I know it is indexing but the CPU runs at 100% it seems, and then it gives up everything for around ten minutes. Doesn't tell me it is indexing like it used to, just hangs while it does something. It also does this if I connect via PC mode or mass storage mode. It just indexes itself to see what has changed. Usually nothing but it still takes the agonizing time to look.
<...>
Pulling the battery is the only way to resolve this, hildon just loves to hog the CPU. Although that has started corrupting the app manager, which forgets the repositroy AND installed apps.
Had to use "apt-get -f install" to resurrect this turkey and it wasted three hours of my life. Yesterday in fact.

Hangs every time mid way through a film and I press the screen to get the little icons for pause. Takes five seconds of stutturing noise and choppy film before it hangs and then gives me the icons. Sometimes dropping the app completely and dropping to desktop. The blessed little CPU can't hack film playback AND something pressing the screen at the same time. Perhaps it is watching the film as well and not paying attention?
Interesting vote though. Amazing what people put up with or how much difference there is amongst something manufactured the same way.

I hate to say this, but I promise you that you'll never solve this issue without warranty exchange. You have a defective flash cell or bad controller.
Reflashing it 1000 times will never resolve the issue. The device needs to be replaced. No OS (android, iOS, Windows Mobile, WebOS) can maintain stability when blocks go bad.
Check your kernel log (type dmesg), and you should be seeing I/O or ECC errors.

Used "dmesg" and there is no I/O or ECC errors. But I did reboot last night because duke nukem crashed. So it just reports lots of "musb_hdrc periph: enabled ep2out for bulk out, maxpacket 512." kind of messages. I will have to keep an eye on it, at the moment I don't have time to sit and read the wiki on how to flash it. It is just a media player for me now (back to my tytn2). I can however use the dmesg to see what is going on as the phone acts up.
Interestingly, another "quirk" of this phone. In order to turn the volume of a game up, for example duke nukem. I can't use the volume controls anymore. I now need to go into media player, turn up the volume in that. Which then affects games and other software. The volume controller that is tied to the hardware buttons on top. No longer have any effect, but still slide the little picture of the volume left and right along the screen.
This phone just gets better.
