Running new LVSW version of WM6. Working smooth as glass for 3 days now and this morning I turned on the phone, checked my email, adjusted call volume and the thing locked up HARD. I tried everything but nothing worked so I just pressed the reset button on the bottom. It rebooted but hung on the boot splash after displaying the red version numbers on the bottom. After a minute or so the green wireless light began to flash so I thought it was just slow booting, i left it like this for 15 min and it never proceeded to finish booting so I pressed reset again. Same result, stuck in boot splash forever. Since it was just going to sit and run down the power I unseated the battery to turn it off (the power button wouldnt do a thing.) Finally I get to work, I figure I'll put it in bootloader and hopefully just reflash it. As soon as I plug it into the USB cable and boot it up, it came up fine. Anyone have ANY idea what the heck is going on? Thinking now of trying the new WM Black edition v1.2 but with the recent strangeness of the current rom I'm wondering if I'll wind up bricking it. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

It has happened to me twice
The first time that I couldn't igure out what to do I simply Hard reset the device
The second and last time that happened to me (2 days ago)
after 3 consecutive soft reboots the thing came back to normal operating status..
I suspect that this has to do with ROM
Anyways I sure hope this is fixed with the new release...
Which I may flash later on today...
