Yep, on one of Apples own webpages. Went to my .mac gallery and was scrolling down to the bottom of the list of galleries and it crashed.
Got a tip for us?

Anyone had safari crash on 2.1 yet?

I don't use safari TOO much, but I did have it crash twice last night (on 2.1, jb FWIW). Both times while reading. That seems to be how safari crashes for me lately. AFTER it's loaded and after I'm scrolled and when I'm not even touching it. It's been sitting for like 10 seconds with me having not touched it while I read the text on the screen, and then, poof, back to homescreen. I hate that. I almost feel better when it chugs along and crashes, I feel like it was because it was working hard. The crash while I'm doing nothing is just annoying. The two crashes were on the same page, at different points in the page, but the same condition of reading and not touching it. Very strange.
I have had Safari crash two times, both while on ESPN.com webpages. It is hard to tell if it is the phone or not because their webpages are terrible and even bog down a normal browser sometime.
seems to only crash when my battery meter is in the red "low-battery" zone
2-3 times a day i would say

I had a few crashes pre 2.1 but post the update it happens much more frequently, at least twice per day. Sometimes the crash will bring down the iPhone leaving me with a frozen, blacked-out screen. I'm not convinced these memory related problems can be entirely solved until the hardware improves.
I am in same boat..... never crashed on me before, now does. just goes to the home screen.
Sad to say that before, I had no problem with safari but since updating to 2.1 my safari has crashed right after opening. This however has only happened once to me. Before 2.1, my apps crashed a few times but once I installed 2.1, my apps have not crashed once besides safari. So mixed outcomes with 2.1.
No, Safari hasn't crashed for me...yet. But it is constantly lagging and sometimes freezes for 5 seconds.
I correct my position having used safari heavily in recent weeks its been crashing pretty much every time i use it. Sadly this is the case on Leopard as well. I think safari needs a major update/overhaul
Safari crashes on me everytime I use it - and the funny thing is that when it does, it's not even loading a page. I'm just reading an article and *BOOM* black screen. A few seconds later I'm at the home screen.
Launch Safari - repeat the cycle.
Frustrating as anything.

For the first couple of days post 2.1, Safari was solid. Lately, it crashes one a day - even after a reboot. Odd.
I was using one open safari window on wikipedia.org, it crashed while I was typing on the keyboard
Mine seems to crash more often now. Rarely does it go longer than 15 minutes of browsing before it crashes.
I visit a lot of sites that make heavy use of javascript so possibly there are some Safari bugs in that area.

For me and it sure is frustrating. It crashes more than I was on 2.02. Hope they fix this issue in the next update.
same experience for me.... the rest of the system seems more stable than 2.0 but safari is worse for me. Crashes on pages where before I didnt have problems. For some reason seems worse over the last couple of days even though I installed 2.1 on the Friday it came out....
