After the second total crash ("Phone start failed, contact dealer"😉 I just wondered, If anybody has had this problem also.
I had to format the phone (Green, *, 3 ans ON). Luckily I did a backup just before the crashes, so not much harm done.

Maybe someone could share his experience on this?

I have additional Apps installed:

Handy Shopper
SlovoEd

and my first crash happend while changing profiles, the second after iSyncing the phone to my Mac.

So: Eventaully we might find the cause for this fatal crashes.

For most people tht have this problem, it usually turns out to be a problem with the memory card and NOT the phone...

If anyone ever sees this message, try booting the phone without an MMC in and see if it works then (This happened to my phone)

If you're lucky enough to have an MMC reader in your PC you can then reformat and reuse the card - You may also be able to back it up depending on the problem with it...

If the phone still fails to boot with no MMC in then it gets a bit more complicated 😉
