My data also rarely works, though T-mo customer service said that might just be an issue associated with the new SIM activation? Additionally, I have issues charging from all types of sources (battery indicator and charging light comes on, but after a few seconds, it stops charging and I need to keep pulling the battery until it decides to charge for real). I do have the same power on issue that you have.

A reflashing might fix these problems, but I'm too lazy, so I'm waiting for the new firmware to come out first. :P
Ha! You and I are going through the exact same thing! I'm too lazy to flash mine as well cos I'm sure I will have to customize everything all over again. And yes my data also rarely works as well going on and off every few minutes. I have a new sim card at home that came in the box of a Touch Pro 2 I purchased a while ago and was thinking of using that one but since you said your problem returned, I don't think it's the sim card. Besides, the sim that's in my phone right now was purchased back in September so it's only 4 months old. That right there tells me it's not the sim.

I just think like many others on the forum, we have faulty N900's and I can't wait any longer for that firmware update to be released! I'm not looking for extra goodies, I just want all these bugs to be rectified once and for all.
