Default My 680 Keeps turning itself off! Help?

I just got my 680 last week and yesterday and today it's just been turning off, occasionally turning back on, and sometimes not turning back on until after I've struggled with the battery for a few minutes...

Not sure if it's a device problem or if it has to do with the fact that I installed google maps, minitones and sudoku...

Tried a hard reset and resyncing, but the problems started again. Has anyone experienced this? I'd appreciate any suggestions at all...

some program that you have installed has declared war on your 680. Uninstall all those programs and see if its back to normal and if so then add one and see if its working okay for a day if so add another and so on. See how that does.

My bet is sodoku is the culprit . . But the above advice is dead on. Get rid of those third party apps. See if its stable. Give it a day or two! Then add back one at a time . .

Check minitones. I seem to recall on some other Treo boards that was a problem app for the 680.
