Make sure you test entering text in things other than the Google search home applet, e.g. Notes, X Terminal etc due to the known bug as mentioned in a comment in your blog.

Whoops. OK more testing to come.

Okay it won't stop crashing. The decision now is to either send it to Nokia or to have CompUSA exchange it on my instant exchange guarantee. Problems with both: http://thoughtfix.blogspot.com/2006/...-its-dead.html

Okay so it's replaced. http://thoughtfix.blogspot.com/2006/...6-version.html New unboxing pics!

Now I did get a few odd crashes once I replaced it. I figured the only major change was from a 512M SanDisk RS-MMC to a 1GB. I put the 512M back in and haven't had an odd crash yet. Any thoughts?

i have a sandisk 1 gb card that was giving me problems. i bought a card reader and reformatted it in windows. i haven't had any problems since then. good luck.
