Second FOMA bug, and counting

This is a deliberate attempt to test out whether the over-the-air software updates work, right, DoCoMo? Now the N900i has a fault that causes it to reboot when you stand on one leg and chant "om mani padme hum" in a high-pitched voice, or something like that.

A couple of tidbits of information emerge from this incident; one, they've shifted 160,000 of these since March 7, which sounds like one hell of a hit; two, apparently the basic software is the same as the Panasonic P900i (NEC and Panasonic have gone as far as rebranding the other's FOMA handsets as their own in the past, so not a great surprise), but the P is unaffected by the latest glitch.
