 | First, stop shouting. I think you need to get it to a service center to get help |

 I would not.
 
 R7 with SM in my phone was more stable than R9. Atleast in R7 the phone did not restart on incoming calls. I have lost about 6 calls since I updaed (Jan 4th) to this. Now I am not a heavy user. In fact given the current instability of the phone I am not comfortable with using the phone for anything else other than voice and SMS.
 
 Unfortunately I cannot even change the phone. I only recently requested my boss to switch me to the 990 from the O2 Atom (priamairly becuase the Atom lacked a tactile numeric keypad). Maybe I should have waited for the N95.

 In general I'm having much fewer problems with the new fw than before. So, I would do the upgrade.

 Same here...i find 3 restarts in 21 days quite acceptable, not to mention the other improvements

 | makbil, you mentioned on your previous posts here that you've done a 'reset" on the phone to temporarily offset the memory leak, how do you do that? |

 I would not mind th 6 restarts I have had (in the past 17 days) but all 6 have happened on incoming calls. No other application has ever caused a restart. For someone who is often only reachable via mobile this is ciritical.

 I think there is a misunderstanding here. What I may have said was that due to some extreme memory problems I had to restart the phone, that is turn off/on. That way all the memory becomes available again.

 I agree. Although I've had only one case of the "Yes" reboot, it did get me into the habit of making sure I know who is calling before I press yes
   That way at least I can call them back.
