Received my N9 last night.. 64G Austria Black model, which seems to match the handtec batch's product code though I bought it from a different supplier.

It "black screened of death" within an hour of use. It has rebooted maybe 60 times now. It "locks" up whilst showing the clock on a locked screen.. Can't unlock the screen even though the clock continues to update and move?! Every app is crashing, browser, contacts (about 3/5 opens will close when selecting any contact) even the xterm in dev mode crashes.. even if I'm not typing/running anything?!?!?

It's a really tough call.. I remember the pm settings for the N900 that solved random reboots with PR1.0 and that there was a fix in the next release.. but I have a suspicion my device might really be hosed and a new release won't fix this flaw..

I expected a few bugs, but its in a whole other level of crashiness.. About the only app that hasn't crashed yet is the clock app

I've seen graphics errors. Not so much lagging when scrolling, but mis-shaped apps.. apps that fill a quarter of the screen (I downloaded a file manager app and that was the first time I saw the error, though I've seen it a few time since)

Having had it out of the box for less than 24 hours (and having had to reflash once already) I'm going to see if I can pull some debug stuff out this evening when I get home..

I guess I'm asking if this crazy level unreliable-ness matches what is being talked about here, or if maybe I've got more than firmware bug problems
