iPhone Firmware Redux

The saga continues. After spending all weekend getting my iPhone setup (see below) it crashed again less than 24 hours later.

This time I was just trying to send an email (via gmail) when the phone suddenly froze and restarted. Same problem as before.

Again I tried to backup and it would never complete. This time around (after having left it over night and it still didn't complete) when I got home from work I erased everything on the phone. It takes two hours by the way. After which I only loaded the firmware (no 3d party apps).

It ran fine for 24 hours. Not that useful (my Blackberry has more 3d party apps and never crashes) so I decide to load about 5 apps I don't want to live without. Apps like NNW, Facebook, Exposure, DC Traffic Cams.

It runs fine for another 24 hours. So I decide to load some more apps that I want on my phone. Apps like Poker, Lumen, Cellspin and a bunch more but not all of the apps that I've downloaded. It's been another 24. So far so good.
