why?

if it is because of the reboots, then your device is broken.

your device is broken. go ahead and use the warranty.....

this is really stupid. you don't care to search from bugzilla with keyword "reboot". this can be found in the list:
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6334

e: what about reading this thread through:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=416421

I will agree that those things are annoying. but i need to say overall i am thrilled with the device. I have none of the reboot issues and like watching movies, listening to music, web browsing etc. I am excited about new things to come - like a proper twitter app more like gravity or tweetdeck.. but i guess i am different in that i am ok to wait a bit for this things..

if you have a constantly rebooting device, it's more likely to be a hardware fault than due to faulty software.

I'd suggest you contact the nokia service for an exchange model

I'd be interested to see how many people that are having problems are sticking to the three 'safe' repositories and aren't downloading random debs or following obscure instructions. Having said that, I have the extras-devel and extras-testing (added but disabled unless I want something specific) and I'm having no problems.

It reminds me of some people on Ubuntu forums actually - complaining that it's broken and that everyone said it should be better than Windows and - oh, so you enabled the root account and started following obscure instructions from forum threads?

It's still only an OS, and it's not idiot-proof. Oh, and if you're having a specific problem ask a specific question

as others have suggested, exchange the faulty one. Use a normal device before making up your mind. I am sure you will not regret it.

Assuming your not running windows

The reboot issue should really be sticky somewhere to avoid these.
I feel pretty lucky since none of the devices I use have the problem. as a matter of fact none of them has crashed even once.

For what its worth, I had my pc disconnect from internet which is normally rock solid when I left my pc logged in to talk.Maemo.org and then logged in to same site on laptop. Laptop would be fine but browse maemo.org on pc again and strange bug was present where all internet had been disabled causing me to reboot to remedy(XPMCE).

Happened 3 times now with exactly same circumstances (logged into same site, possibly same post with 2 different mac addresses).

Perhaps not worth much but seems after reading bugzilla entries a lot of problems stem from browsing maemo.org.(possibly on 2 machines with same external IP).

Possibly kicking IP after idle time? I dont know how site works, but just suggestions

Don't have my device but this may well apply to me lol. Just a thought.

Please ignore or correct me if wrong.

Lot of whiners here complain about their phone issue, but their
REAL problem is the users unable to fix simple problem. You got
to know at least something(computer) before owning this device.
Simple search and simple troubleshooting ussually fix the problem.
