As originally stated, I used both of the last versions of OS2006, both with similar results.

I do virtually nothing else, than web browsing, email (to a Gmail account), and Maemo Mapper. I run ONE app at a time, closing the previous one, before launching another.

As I stated:

This usually then leads into the "reboot from hell" - the continuous rebooting of the system, with whatever is running in so hard a run, you can't regain control of it, and it's impossible to shut it down, short of removing the battery - again.
The first signs of trouble is when the browser typically hangs up loading the last image, or next to last image (or include), from a web site, then there's the LONG pause. About 30-40% of the time, it will eventually shake loose (after a 3+ MINUTE delay), but the rest of the time it's just locked up. I've waited for as long as an HOUR to see if it would shake loose - it doesn't. And from that point forward - you're (or I'm) screwed.
