In order to use the Axim at this point, I must remove the battery and then return the battery, THEN, and only then, it responds to the power button again. At this point, it always says "a memory error has occured, press [icon of button 2] to reset the unit" (error message paraphrased) After pressing the button, it shows a progress meter which I assume represents restoring the RAM from ROM. If I press the power button to suspend the unit, and then press it again to turn the unit back on within a minute or so, it seems to work fine every time. It seems the unit must remain suspended in the cradle overnight for this problem to occur, and it has happened to me 3 out of 3 times that I have left the unit suspended in the cradle overnight. Is this a known issue? Is there something I can do to avoid this? Replacing the battery seems to be a suitable workaround, but its a bit annoying...

I had a similar error--but worse. My progress bar stopped at about 80%, and the unit would not even respond to a hard reset request. A new unit is en route from Dell...
