Sorry mate but you have got a faulty device. I've my device for 3 months and I've never had a single reboot since then. I send/receive 50/60 SMS's per day and I install and uninstall applications without needing to reboot.

thats my opinion too i wish there was a way i could tell that to nokia.
i wish i could experience the full power of the n900 as the other users does it here. because i love the device it self. any other phone cant beat this phone !

nokia tested the memory and they claim the device is 100 percent ok without errors. wich i doubt strongly.
I seriously think it is broken - return it and get one that works. Seriously.

If anyone got some advice that i can write to nokia i am going to claim again the support from them. hopefully it will be settled because what i said about that Iphone thing some people think i am serious mean that wich i am not i hate closed things. it was a bit joke. but ok...

If you haven't already, start with a full format and a clean flash with the recent firmware. Do not install anything from development or testing repositories. See how the phones behaves. If you still see the problem, then it is hardware and you should get a replacement.

I did this. and right after a full reflash. so both partitions. the NAND and the flash partition i got the message device full. please clear up and try again. on a virgin clean device ..... so no software even added on this point

i cant install applications then. the phone log isnt updated anymore and i cant sent sms. a reboot and everything works fine again. till the problems come back in few hours then i can start rebooting again. it is really really annoying.

wow! 3 months of use with no issues (i believe in software), lucky one,

@hoppa123 - i agree, you really have a faulty one, show nokia whats the problem or give 'em a demo of what you are experiencing, even though it'll make you use or operate your n900 in front of them, until your issues occur

The most funny thing was. that i went to nokia care center near to my city. i showed it them that even the phone got refresh problems in the screen and it hangs. i had to close the phone and start it again. they see that the phone got problems!!! and what they said..... This N900 is an experimental phone its a firmware issue wich they cant resolve. i just have to wait for new version. can you imagine how angry i was at that point....

Sounds like a few problems;

Forum search will help with the "no memory" problem ... ie nothing left on the root. Which in turn helps with installing apps, updating etc.

Unstable may be due to limit file space on the root for various temporary settings to be stored. Seen a few mentions of flashing not "cleaning" out old file structures. You may need to ssh into the phone and remove /var/apt contents and some other files. /usr/share/themes for example hogs a lot of root space. Just leave the default on there. Mplayer eats up space on the root too.

In sum ... forum search is your friend and patients can make a good product great. Btw its not a phone, internet tablet that can make phone calls, treat it more like a computer and it will seem more usable.

Used my phone for months now without a single issue not caused by my own fiddling. I love the phone, but then I have had practice on a Zaurus SL-C1000 and i-Mate JasJar.

i appreciate the respond you give me. but i recommend you to read my problems a bit more carefully. since i have an empty device wich has been reflashed so there is 100 percent sure free space to recieve at least one sms or one call log. it doesnt even does that.

i have a df -h for you here so you can see my phone isnt out of memory.

Nokia-N900-51-1:~# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs 227.6M 148.0M 75.5M 66% /
ubi0:rootfs 227.6M 148.0M 75.5M 66% /
tmpfs 1.0M 80.0k 944.0k 8% /tmp
tmpfs 256.0k 84.0k 172.0k 33% /var/run
none 10.0M 80.0k 9.9M 1% /dev
tmpfs 64.0M 4.0k 64.0M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/mmcblk0p2 2.0G 23.8M 1.8G 1% /home
/dev/mmcblk0p1 27.0G 227.4M 26.8G 1% /home/user/MyDocs
/dev/mmcblk1p1 7.6G 6.1G 1.4G 81% /media/mmc1

at the same moment i took the df -h command the phone claims its out of memory. at least the hildon application claims that.
