My second Pocket Edge has been working perfectly since I received it as a replacement from Woot for an earlier one that succumbed to "WSOD after 3 days.

I opened the unit up this morning and tapped the menu key. The unit announced that it was coming out of hibernation (E-ink side) Usually, the LCD side will come alive and reboot into the start-up screen. This time, for 3 heart stopping seconds, the WSOD appeared. Then, fortunately, the screen went blank and it booted up.

What's going on here? Is this a hidden software/firmware defect? I've done nothing strange with the unit. It's running Ermine 2.2. It's been rooted, and I've renamed the power draining phone apps. I hope this doesn't become a new adventure every time I take the unit out of hibernation.
