Just to join the choir:
I have exactly the same experince with random reboots.10-20 reboots a day. One of the reboots actually "bricked" the phone so I had to reflash the firmware.
I live in denmark, bought through a danish retailer and I am using a TDC sim in it.
I am going to get the unit replaced as soon as possible.

Sorry for stupid question but I need to know how to see the boot's reason log file in order to see which caused mine (32wd_to or sw_rst)..
I know it sounds too "easy" for all you genius out there..
thanks in advance..

You need to open the xterminal application and type the following command:
cat /proc/bootreason
cat /proc/bootreason

You're welcome.
Now that I've had my replacement N900 for several hours, I've had a chance to play with it some more. I know that this is going to sound odd and I have no hard evidence to back it up, but...the replacement seems to work a whole lot better than my original one in several respects, not just in the lack of reboots, for example:
The audio quality on voice calls seems better. Less muffled somehow and with enough extra 'top' to help hear the caller when you're in a noisy environment.
The GPS is quicker to get a lock and there seems to be less of a tendency for your position to 'wander' on the map.
The battery doesn't seem to be getting used up at such a fearsome rate.
The camera doesn't suffer from annoying reflections of the flash coming of the chrome-style plastic surround.
As I say, I've no real evidence to back these claims up, but I'm a lot happier with this new one than with the original.
Edit: Not strictly true...see this thread:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=36675
For some pictures I took with the old and the new, showing the flash problem.

Thanks!

I have read all that, old news. That is part of the point, it is OLD news. Nokia is still spitting out these faulty devices at a rate of one for every 9 good ones. This is unacceptable for any manufactoring process, it is completely out of line by several orders of magnitude.
To say that a "fix" is to replace a faulty unit is wrong. It is NOT a fix as long as the fault rate of these new units still are 10%. Nokia is simply dodging the issue alltogether, leaving the basic QA to the customers. Now, if the fault rate was 0.01% or even 0.1%, this is acceptable, but 10% is not, not by a long shot.
lets just say that nokia doesn't come here and delete these threads and bugs from bugzilla:
