Fortunately, most of my actual data is on the MMC, and it's still functioning enough that I should be able to VNC into it; but it sounds like I won't have much luck at actually fixing anything, short of sending it off to Nokia and waiting a few months.

I last had been using a car charger and maybe it wasn't charging adequately. The wall charger that came with the unit has done well all along and that is the one that keeps making it to restart.

I'll try to let it keep trying to recharge and see if it takes.

As Mara suggested, it sounds like your device ran itself completely flat so if you had a car charger connected it's either got a faulty connector or it isn't supplying enough juice.
