I have no idea if this is normal or not, I sift through as many posts I can on the frx07.1 thread in xda-forums and have never seen this talked about.

I am having the same problem as you. I get everything set up the way I like it and then within 3 days usually less the phone locks up and then it gets stuck in a loop when booting, or hangs during boot. I have to replace the data file almost daily to keep the phone running. Never realized how much I disliked win mobile till I switched to Android.

I now believe that it is my memory card that is bad. I was using an old 1 gig card a month ago, then fell in love with it so I switched to a newer faster 8 gig card. And I believe that is when I started having all my trouble. I am going to get a new card this weekend but for now going back to my older 1 gig card.

If you haven't already read below. I don't recommend getting a Class 10 sdcard.

lol all my problems were caused by a bad microSD. wow, I don't know what to say. AWESOME.
btw, when I was looking to see what kind of microSD card to get, I found this forum:
SD Strange-results - or - How I learned to love CM7 on SD - xda-developers
seems like overwhelmingly the best cards for running android off it would be a SanDisk 8 or 16 GB Class 2!!! or class 4. And then test the random write/random read speed -- aim for something ABOVE 1 MB/s. aside from my bad microSD card being bad and corrupting everything, the random write/random read speeds were around .020 MB/s...
