I've no idea what causes it - the "beep" is quite tuneful, more of a polyphonic "duh-duh" in my case. I've no alarms set either. Isn't a low-battery warning as the device is currently charging, I put on charge about 20 minutes before it's latest outburst and it was on 4 bars to begin with (still charging, not yet reached full charge as I type). Quite possibly only started since the 3.2007.10-7 update, but I couldn't swear to it.

Most odd.
Check for a really tiny textbox in the lower left corner. With a microscope (yes, the LCD is actually a lot finer-grained than Nokia led us to believe) you might just make out the message:

"Anti-matter reactor will self-detonate in XXXX seconds", with "XXXX" a downcounting number that -- hopefully! -- will not yet read "0002".

My sources tell me that the only way to prevent a cityblock-wide pseudo-nuclear detonation is for you to set "sapporobaby" to "ignore" immediately. Apparently the big honchos at Nokia have it in for him for spilling the beans.

( only joking, of course. We like sapporobaby and he hasn't got anything to spill)
