Yep, stuttering audio when you give it a kicking is a Maemo staple unfortunately. But fairly understandable.
So, given that we don't have hundreds of people in here complaining, and that you and some others have perfectly fine devices, I'm gonna play the "small subset of the batch have a hardware failure" card (it's pretty damn obvious now) and give Handtec an email.
Might take them up on their refund offer given it's unclear when they're getting stock compared to other retailers and maybe I can get a new one quicker from someone else?

I have had about 3-5 reboots a day, I also have the reboot whilst powering down thing.
It locked up when receiving a call yesterday and rebooted when using the twitter app just now.
I'm on the fence about returning it, I really like the device... Any news when we might expect pr-1.1?

Not as soon as we'd hope, by the looks of it

@vitaminj, HughF_UK and the others suffering, it must be damned annoying but others like myself who got an N9 from Handtec aren't suffering any of those problems. It's been totally solid in fact for me which is more than I was expecting to be honest from a 1.0 Nokia release.
I wonder if, when you've had a crash, there isn't something recorded in /var/log/* eg in /var/log/syslog ??
Maybe it's one app causing the problems that I and the non-crashees aren't using rather than a hardware problem ?

Received my N9 last night.. 64G Austria Black model, which seems to match the handtec batch's product code though I bought it from a different supplier.
It "black screened of death" within an hour of use. It has rebooted maybe 60 times now. It "locks" up whilst showing the clock on a locked screen.. Can't unlock the screen even though the clock continues to update and move?! Every app is crashing, browser, contacts (about 3/5 opens will close when selecting any contact) even the xterm in dev mode crashes.. even if I'm not typing/running anything?!?!?
It's a really tough call.. I remember the pm settings for the N900 that solved random reboots with PR1.0 and that there was a fix in the next release.. but I have a suspicion my device might really be hosed and a new release won't fix this flaw..
I expected a few bugs, but its in a whole other level of crashiness.. About the only app that hasn't crashed yet is the clock app
I've seen graphics errors. Not so much lagging when scrolling, but mis-shaped apps.. apps that fill a quarter of the screen (I downloaded a file manager app and that was the first time I saw the error, though I've seen it a few time since)
Having had it out of the box for less than 24 hours (and having had to reflash once already) I'm going to see if I can pull some debug stuff out this evening when I get home..
I guess I'm asking if this crazy level unreliable-ness matches what is being talked about here, or if maybe I've got more than firmware bug problems

- I have *never* had a spontaneous reboot or freeze. Phone has never done anything more than very slightly lag while scrolling
- I was pushing it reasonably hard listening to the Ovi music thing for some hours yesterday.
- *Whilst* listening to music I opened up the new Linux Magazine PDF from email. This thing is a monster and makes my Macbook Pro freeze on page turns... It took a few seconds to flip to each page on the N9, annoying, but usable at a pinch. I got small glitches in music playback during that time - annoying but bearable given how I was torturing the device
- Compared with my previous report someone pointed out the option to setup feed refresh freq and so I withdraw that as not updating (I had it set to manual update...). So seems to be working fine
So, all in all *extremely* happy with my N9. Oh and sports tracker was released yesterday, so now ecstatic! Top it off that ebuddy announced they will support the N9 with their multi-network chat thing (whatsapp look alike thing) .... All I'm missing is iplayer...
