Ebay, uhmmm, I wouldn't be very sure it is really Nokia. Well, may be the problem is the same as with Mugen ones, loose contacts. Put a piece of thick paper or cardboard at the battery's bottom, so it is hold tight against the device's battery contacts.
The only possible hardware fauly might be the MMC1 card which is a 3rd party Micro SD card in a Mini adapter. Can that be qa problem ?
It could be possible, but I think it's unlikely. I'd bet on the battery.
In earlier posts I read that the spontaneous reboots were because of a firmware bug which triggers the watchdog inadvertently. And with the better handling of events / watchdog in your improved kernel I hoped this problem would be solved. Now this is not the case then it can be a hardware problem.
Not the watchdog, it is bme what triggers the reboot, and usually happens with old/weak batteries. The watchdog only triggers if the device hangs or becomes so busy that the watchdog isn't refreshed in 20 seconds.
My kernel makes unlikely the later by distributing the cpu more evenly.
