I have a PE I received for Christmas but just started using recently. I have not done any updates to it, so it is still running Dingo 1.8, which is what it shipped from woot with.

The only thing I have installed on it is Alchemy (game). I have had the touch screen lock up a total of 5 times the past 2 days, all but one while playing the game. Note I have only used the unit about an hour over the past 2 days.

It sounds like I shouldn't risk upgrading this one to Ermine.

I was so looking forward to the Allmine Golden Update, primarily for the battery life and gmail/calendar synchronization, but don't want to risk frying my PE, as we've already lost 2 in the past year to hardware defects/failures. I became so dependent on my previous PE, and avoided using this one to prevent a hardware failure. Silly, I know, as what's the point of owning it if you don't use it? lol

Any thoughts or comments?
