Ok..

I think so far I've gotten used to having a WM device. It's definitely a neat little toy to have.

However, I seem to be having some uncomfortable stability issues. Sometimes I have to hit the reset button on the side of the phone, sometimes I have to take the battery out, sometimes just a power off and on fixes things. I would say on average at least once a day I have to reboot the phone for various reasons (Slow, unresponsive today screen, won't come out of sleep mode, etc..)

One wierd thing that happens is that all of a sudden it will start playing all the sounds in one or two "pitches" higher. The MS Voice Command beeps and voices are of a higher pitch and faster than usual. My WAV ringtone plays faster and in a higher pitch. Rebooting the phone makes it better until it decides not to work again for whatever reason.

I don't have much installed.. Total Commander CE, MS Voice Command, Pocket Sudoku, Compact Framework 2.0, WiFiFoFum and Adobe Reader 1.0.

Am I the only one with stability issues, or is this just what I should expect from a WM5 device? How often do you reboot your 8125?

Your having an issue with a program that is installed.
Try getting rid of some of them to see if that helps.
The less you load on your PPC the better it will usually run.

The only thing I have installed on mine is Voice Command and Vbar and it works great.
I've had Windows Mobile devices since 2001 so i've been there with all kinds of crap stuffed into my PPC.
Try taking one of the software that you use the least and see if that helps, if not then take another one off and so on.
Or maybe do a hard reset and place one software at a time for a few days to see how stable it is and so on.
