Recently, I had my iPhone crashing a lot when opening Google Maps. If I was playing music at the same time, that was a sure crash. Let me define crash as the program closing and going back to the home screen. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, iPhones crash too. But, that being said, there’s a relatively quick solution.
It turns out I hadn’t turned off / rebooted my phone since I got it. So after a quick reboot, everything returned to stable and working. I assume this is probably a memory allocation problem which hopefully they work out in future software updates.
To reboot your iPhone:
Press and hold the power button and the home button at the same time. If your phone is not locked up–which mine hasn’t yet–it will prompt you to turn off the phone by sliding the “turn off” bar to the right.
Hope this helps. Let’s be patient while they work all of the bugs out. This is a gen 1 device.

I’ve had the same problem. Listening to iTunes, google maps with traffic active through EDGE and also my email checking for updates every 15 mins.
This is on ROM v1.0.2 so they clearly still have fairly major bugs to resolve.
When I connected to iTunes, it uploaded bug data to apple from the crash, so hopefully that will help them to figure it out.

Once a man shunned his friends. He was then left alone. Think twice before you move.

When aspiring to become something greater, make sure you check your shoes to make sure they can go the distance.
