This thread included a poll: How often do your Smartphone Hung or Crash?

Just wonder how often is your phone hung and need a restart or reboot (as in OFF the phone and ON it again)?

Never maan... Been so long since I needed to restart the phone.. Cant help but being proud and happy 😉

mine did that lol, about half hr/hour after i got the phone powered up for the first time. I was just scrolling down the menu and all of asudden the whole thing froze, removed battery, powered up and hasnt happened since 😊

This phone is GREAT!

It have yet to hang on me since i bought it on 30 Sept. 2002.

I'm very happy with it.

😊

I have to be more honest! My phone did crash,.....on the street three feet from the ground!! 😊 But thats different ins't it! Well I got it back now! Was Super fast from Nokia!! 😊)

Ok, mine has crashed occasionally but it seems that without a "never" option or a "once or twice" option this poll really doesn't reflect the reality of most people's experience.

I just checked through the comments so far and it seems that
60% have never had a crash. 😃
20% have had one or two crashes. 😊
20% have had more frequent crashes. 😞 (apparently in low memory situations).

Obviously with around 80% having only 0, 1 or 2 crashes, the quality of the 7650 is quite amazing considering how much it can do. 8)

Do you have both level packs installed? 😃

I've had mine since 10th of August and it hasn't crashed yet. 😃 😃
Great phone i guess!!!

Does anyone else have a problem that when using GPRS to browse the web sometimes the phone will reset itself.?
This happens 1 out of every 3 connections I would say.
I have software version 3.16 and have over 1.5 meg free so I don't think it is a memory issue.
Any thoughts?

Would you expect anything less? Personally, I expect it to never crash. Mine has done so only twice, the first being when I initially turned it on after its first charge. Why can't people get away from the Microsoft idea that software crashing once in a while is ok? Would it be ok for software to crash once in a while, if it controlled a nuclear power station?!
