    this happened once before other than it happening today
    my blackberry just randomly went into a blank white screen and with the small timer in the middle
    it appears that it was rebooting/restarting itself

    this just happened without me doing anything...
    the blackberry was just on my lap or on the table
    it just did this right now and its done this twice today
    what could be the problem?....

    happened to me a lot when i first got my phone. i spent over 3 hours of time with CS and ended up getting a replacement phone sent to me at no charge.

    List which 3rd party apps you have on the phone. Try deleting the Facebook app if you have it. I would recommend removing ALL your 3rd party apps and then seeing how your phone does....then try reloading them one by one. if that still doesn't help, search about wiping and then reloading your OS...this time don't restore any of your old stuff except for your Address book and the BB IM...see if any of those steps help you..

    My phone once froze up completely and had a static screen on it and I couldn't do anything. About 5 minutes later the phone rebooted and fixed itself. Maybe it's a self-repair method or something?

    Some of the Third Party apps we are all running are the likely culprits. They don't follow all of RIM's coding rules. Be patient. All will be well soon !

    My phone has done this a lot lately. Seems like its getting worse. It will just reboot on me; usually when I'm typing a message in the Blackberry Messenger. Really annoying!

    mine does the exact same things. It's totally stock, the only thing I've installed is googlemaps and it was doing it before that. I think it probably is an OS thing.
