Sounds unlikely. Surely if the bug is that simple it would have been noticed a long time ago. Is it just certain WiFi connections, new WiFi connections?
It must be more specific than ANY WiFi connection because pretty much everyone would have the problem if it was.
I tried different routers, different network setups ecc and that's what I found for my device.
I cannot extend the same conclusions to every device, of course; I posted just in case this could help someone.

yes next to it, shows two little bars one for cpu usage and the other one for memory, when you play with screen shots from that applet it freezes memory to the point you have to reboot

When are we going to see a larger battery option from somewhere? The camera lense slider & mechanism adds extra complexity for an after market option.

I sense contradiction
On the one hand, you say that you want battery life and screw the technology, but on the other hand, you're talking about streaming music over 3G...
You need to pick a device that suits what you want from it, and only you can tell what that is - as for me personally, I'd quite like one device which can serve as a camera, GPS, MP3 player, phone, email, organiser, and quick note taking device.
Thing is such a device doesnt exist atleast not that ive seen. Only thing that I can think of is carrying like 3 extra batterys with me (wont happen cant carry that much while im working). Ive been looking for a bigger battery wich fits the n900 like mugen power ones but not found one that seem to fit. Will there be extended batterys to be bought for the n900 or if not why doesnt nokia for example make a standard battery as they have now and one or 2 bigger batteries with new battery covers to fit the size. Not all of us have jobs in an office with unlimited supply of electricity to charge our phones

Wouldnt' it be a good solution to rmmod the wifi modules rather than reboot?
This could be done with a simple script (maybe with a launcher on the desktop,
if something like that is possible on the n900)

I've been watching load-applet for a couple of days and haven't noticed any unexpected activity, nor do I see anything unusual when I run "top".
Anyway I will turn off WiFi tomorrow and see if that makes a difference.

For those of you using the Facebook widget, how often did you have it set to refresh (if you can set its refresh interval?)

I do keep the WiFi on, but in the lowest power mode.
Because if it was set to "Off", that would explain everything.
