No, I hadn't loaded any apps at all. So I thought that perhaps the Contacts or Calendar sync might be causing the problem, so I reinstalled the OS, but did not click the sync button on setup. Then I tried rebooting (removing and replacing the battery), and the same thing happened. I could live with the "exception" notice, but not with being unable to get rid of it, the system hanging up, and having to reinstall the OS every time I reboot. I would really like to solve this problem, but more of a concern is whether there is a possibility that when I restore my data to the new BB, which I expect about mid August, the "exception" problem will transfer to the new BB.
