Your power description just sounded very familiar....

It's possible, although there's a LOT of memory on these devices (at least compared to my old xv6800), so it seems like when I look in task manager there's usually 40-50M of ram still available...

This most recent lockup, I had just closed all tasks with the samsung task manger/switcher... There was a lot of stuff that was apparently running at the time, so I'm somewhat suspicious of this.

Random resets and shut offs are usually because the phone runs into a problem accessing certain sections of memory. Sometimes it is fixed by reprogramming, but sometimes the memory IC just has bad blocks of memory and needs replaced. I would return the phone.... But, again, this is on nokia phones....
