That's my number one problem lately. It's not consistent, but seems to happen at the worst times. Makes me wonder if the phone can detect people I actually need to talk to and have fun preventing it.
Seriously, I have found it happens most often if I have an active Flash game on my desktop or had been playing one for a while. Regardless, I'm suspecting a memory leak somewhere, because rebooting usually solves the problem.
I know on desktop Linux, Firefox seems to have some pretty major memory leaks. I have 8GB of RAM and leave the machine running 24/7 so often leave the browser open for days. Its getting less and less reliable as new versions come out. If these problems are with Gecko then presumably MicroB has them too. I wouldn't trust FLASH to not have memory leaks either and with only 256MB RAM, you are going to notice pretty quickly compared to 8GB on my desktop.
I thought from the start its a shame the N900 only had 256MB as I suspect with 512MB it would be a LOT more responsive. That always seemed to be the magic number for desktop Linux to work well.

if you have freeze issues check if you have installed anything from devel or testing if yes flash vanilla and emmc.....please 
Is getting ahead of Apple and Google the only alternative?
If I had to throw away a piece of technology if the producer isn't the biggest in the world, I'd live a very poor life indeed. I'd say it'd be enough if devices like the N900 took 2-4% percent of the total market for smart phones (since it's an internet tablet/mobile computer more than a smart phone).
World domination can't be the goal and I don't think the N900 will ever compete with iPhones and HTCs but it has enough potential to at least get established and get a stable user base.
