How many times does your Safari crash in a day of normal use? And how?

1 to 2 times a day. 6 to 8 pages open and light browsing. It just crashes back to the home screen.
Oddly, Safari has not even crashed ONCE since I bought my 3g on Jul. 12th.
However, it crashes all the time on my old iPod Touch running 1.x.x firmware.
Additionally, except for the signal bars jumping around randomly, I have not had any random dropped calls (and my phone switches between edge and 3g often in my daily commute, since 3g is very spotty here). I have had no random crashes, my 3g speeds are great, edge speeds are good, no cracks in the phone, no light leaks, good reception, and no other problems that keep getting brought up on here.
The only dropped calls I have are within a 500ft. section between sand dunes along the lakeshore here (I live 2 blocks from Lake Michigan).
I must have gotten a good one, but I am terrified that at any moment it will start acting up thanks to reading all the complaints.
Im running JailBroken 2.0.1 BTW, and live in Grand Haven, MI

this also happens to me, very strange bug.
I always think, I didn't hit the volume button did I ?
Mine seems to happen when I visit some websites for the first time that has some kind of drop down box that I can scroll through (i.e., www.michigangasprices.com). After it crashes and I reopen, the website works fine indefinitely. Does not happen for all websites with drop downs though.
You are missing an option for it doesn't crash.
Mine has never crashed yet on either of my two white iPhones.

Nearly each time I go to Apple store to try out iphone 3g, Safari crashes when loading Chinese yahoo page. I surf this website very often to check out news. This really pisses me off and change my mind of purchasing iphone 3G.
http://tw.yahoo.com/
if you can read chinese and click the title news, safari just freezes after loading the page. Don't know if it's same for english yahoo.com or safari only crashes when displaying chinese fonts.

It seems that if I've opened (and closed) more than a few other apps since power cycling the phone, safari will crash "for sure" before I'm done browsing. Repeatedly.
I read gizmodo alot on the phone. I don't know if you consider that to be "heavy" or not, but opening it in a single window, after using the phone a few hours since the last power cycle = 50/50 chance of repeated crashes. The only solution I've found is to restart the phone. Off a fresh restart, safari has never crashed on me during the entire session I use it, no matter what I do in it, assuming it's the first app I open after the restart.
It seems like when apps "close" somehow the memory isn't returned to the OS properly or something which makes any memory intensive applications crash repeatedly when they try to open and don't have enough memory. Hell, maybe it's only certain apps and that's why some people have more trouble than others. Or maybe I'm way off base.
BTW, I wish people were better at putting together polls. Where are the options for "my safari never crashes" or "my safari crashes VERY rarely" so we can get some perspective.

Dont know where news is, but I have clicked several of the tabs in the middle center of the page below the sear bar, etc...
Loads quick, and doesnt freeze or crash.

that's amazing! maybe those iphones 3G in the store are just bad models. thanks for trying that.
No crashes for me in Safari - a few Apps have crashed - but opening them again was fine.
So I'm another vote for the missing poll entry - "no crashes of note"

I dont know if I got a good one or what. A couple of my buddies have had problems with theirs, but since getting mine on Jul. 12th, I have had NONE of the issues everyone brings up, except for appstore apps crashing occasionally (oddly, jailbroken apps very very rarely crash for me though).
Im running 2.0.1 jailbroken, and live in an area with very spotty 3g coverage, so it is constantly switching back and fourth.
If you click these circled tabs, any crashes after loading the page?

EDIT: clicked the wrong link (the one above it), trying the one you specified now
Nope
and further down the page:
sorry, i was editing my previous message. The most of time safari crashes is clicking these black tabs. Either safari stops responding or it goes back to home screen.
