So, I've never been one to surf much on the iPhone, but whenever I do, it seems like it crashes every 5 mins or so....I don't go to terribly complicated webpages...but it seems like it crashes when it runs out of memory on big webpages like engadget and even this board (ipod music stops playing a few mins before the crash). I was just wondering how often your guys' crash???
Got a tip for us?

How often does your Safari crash??

it crashed a lot when i first got the phone (software version 1.0), but it's been a lot more stable since updating to version 1.0.1 and 1.0.2. it rarely crashes for me, even while listening to music. i do try, though, to keep the browsing light. few pages with not too much content per page.
You mention that the ipod music stops playing a few mins before the crash.
Try it without using the iPod running.
No, that's not a fix obviously, but it is a crash that seems to be documented in the past, so if that's what's causing it at least you can plan for it.

Yea, I've tried it without the ipod playing in the background. It still crashes pretty frequently. Maybe the new update will improve on this.......well...MMS first apple!
For the past few weeks mine was crashing every 2 minutes or so. I could not surf at all. I started clearing my cache and it hasn't crashed since.
When I am on Safari I never crash.
Yeah, I hit the odd Gazelle but that's they're own dumb fault.
Easy fix for the Safari crashing: turn the phone off (press the top button for
3+ seconds untill it shuts down. Then power back up. That will fix it and a lot of other quirks you might be experience.
Safari was crashing like mad after the first week until I was told to try this. It never crashes now. Also my car's iPod adapter wasn't recognizing the iPhone for awhile. Turning off/on also fixed that issue.

Your comment made me curious. I don't listen to music much while surfing, so I just spent the last 2 hours doing just that, both over wifi and edge. I never crashed once.
I'd get that phone back to an Apple store.
Used to be twice a week or so, but with the newer updates it's been crashing less..
It really depends on the websites I go to, some of them have popups and whatnot that confuse safari.

I find that if I try to do things very quickly, like erase lots of messages in rapid succession or go from ipod to web to maps quickly it tends to throw up on itself from time to time.
More slowly and it doesn't seem to be an issue.

I get about a crash once or twice a week. I'm learning which sites cause it to eat dirt. Mainly the sites that are resource-heavy with or with flash or heavy AJAX usage.
