Cleared device, formatted cards, re-flashed - same issue...
The error handling on this device is abysmal!

No logging to speak of, no clues as to why the browser causes a cold boot.. Good thing I don't use it much as a surfing tool.

Cheers

EDIT!
more clues - with Internet radio playing, I was able to browse Maemo.org with out a crash, but after about 20 seconds, the N800 locked up to a black screen, no sound, no response, and needed a battery pull to reset.
