I have the same issue. I flashed over to the latest kitchen ROM (which rocks!) setup gmail, outlook and my apps. Everything worked like a champ for 2+ weeks both gmail and outlook syncing fine every two hours. Then they decided to remove the OMA and put our Exchange server behind our VPN. No problem I thought, so I changed the settings for Outlook/Activesync to use the VPN. Tested it all out, and worked like a champ. Ever since then my phone is hanging, no response, won't take a call and requires a soft reset to fix. Once I disable the auto sync of Outlook and make it manual the phone is back to being rock solid. Another indication that it is the VPN is that the other night I manually checked my gmail and Outlook mail it all synced up fine, but I did not manually close the data connection and kill all processes, just powered off the phone. Next time I tried to use the phone (30 min past when it's alarm was supposed to wake me up) it was hung.

I am willing to run any debug code necessary to help resolve this issue as I am loving WM6 and the Kitchen.
