Well, I'm pretty late replying to this, since I've been so happily playing
with my n900 that I haven't checked this list in a while.  :-)

There's apparently a HW/SW problem affecting a few n900s that cause very
common reboots - they seem to have fixed it in the latest firmwarm - you can
see the details in https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6334

Also - this has some advice on how to unbrick the n900 -

I tend to get reboots a few times a week, which is still more often than
most people seem to, so I'm going to try flashing the new firmware this
weekend.

Even with the reboots, I *love* my n900...   It's not perfect, but coming
from using my FR as my daily phone for a year - the n900 is fantastic!!

Of course, maybe there will be even better options available soon!   ;-)
