Yeah I know that but which version should it be.
Also how can I format it?

Hi all,
My sister bought brand new original n900 yesterday.
From the 1st turning off (and after the software update) it keeps restarting.
Just listening music = restart.
Taking/watching pictures = restart
In the internet = restart
Even in the settings made it reboot.
Just you do something and it is nice phone for 10minutes but after this it just restart itself.
After that problem we've updated to the newest software version but the problem remain.
It freezes anywhere you are in anytime.
Please help!
P.S. No other applications are installed - only the default ones.
To be absolutely clear, a brand-new N900 should never behave this way out of the box even with earlier firmware versions -- mine didn't.

Take it in for repair or attempt to upgrade it to PR1.1.1, as this fixes most of these problems. It is a chip problem that was also fixed in Droid, I think.
Yes, there were stability fixes in PR1.1.1, but this seems to be a much more severe case of reboots than most of use experienced.

I had similar problem, after an update i done it started restarting, wasnt that bad it was just once or twice it happened and maybe a freeze here an there.
I then done a hard reset/full clean of the device. Basically just what the others here have mentioned.
Flash the eMMC first with the vanilla firmware (im not sure if there are any new 1s available but do check and use which ever latest 1 you can for the emmc) then flash the device with the latest firmware.
Use the flasher tool to do both of these things and hopefully it should have resolved the issue.
Or alternatively if you are unsure how to do this and don't wish to go down this route then you can always take it back to the place you got it from and tell them to fix it or give you a replacement. If they ask you to wait a couple days or something then just moan at them, get a refund and go somewhere else get yourself a new 1 there and then
