Many users seem to be very enthuasiastic about running at highest possible speed, so I'm expecting more cases of corruption and crashing soon. I can't be the only unlucky one
I had my rootfs corrupted running at 830MHz too and so far the filesystem has not been corrupted at 800MHz.

I'm glad I'm not the only unlucky one that can't hit the magical 900MHz mark ^^.

i've been running the 800 - 125 image for a couple of days and its been great, i wanted a little more speed so i flashed to the 900 - 125 and the phone got really scatty, locked up with more than 4 apps running and got really hot.

i've flashed back to the 800 and its all fine.

i'd like to know why some devices can cope with it and others just hate it.

Somebody knows another way to retrieve these errors (dbus or something... I don't want to parse dbus output each time) ? It can be interesting to write a small script which displays a "popup" when an error like that occurs...
