This morning, I woke up to the above mentioned error message on my Flip phone.  I've only had the phone since Jan 31, and am wondering if anyone knows if this is something that happens a lot with the phone?  I have the phone set to turn itself off at 1 am and then back on at 5 am, and last night was the first time it actually worked to set itself off.  I have some appointments coming up where I'm going to need a reliable device to wake me earlier than usual.  My phone seemed to have reset itself after I'd removed the battery for a second time - the first time I got the error message, and the second time it turned itself on without the error message.  I then followed instructions on this website to redownload my settings from the Desktop Manager. 

Any feedback/advice will be welcomed.  Thanking you in advance ...

Okay.  I let the phone turn itself off at 1am this morning.  At 5am (I was still awake and watching) ... it turned itself back on, but the error message was on the screen when I opened the flip.  I took out the battery for a few seconds, and then put the battery in.  When the phone came back on again, it was fine.  So, I manually turned off the phone to wait and see what would happen when my 8am alarm went off.  The phone turned itself on at 8am without any problems.  I'm not going to reload the applications again, as me thinks there might be a problem with the turn the phone on/off application that needs a bug or two asked to leave.  Can't get new downloads because there are none!  So, until I get word that there new updates to the turn the phone on/off application, I'll be doing the turning on/off manually.

I'm going to catch a few winks now ... hope this may help anyone looking for some answers.

I agree it is the (auto turn off and on) application.  Mine only had the problem once I used it.

same with me: I have bought two 8220  and both have the same error. I too have the Auto On-Off option enabled. every morning: gray screen, Error 200 .... Pressing the trackball or enter-key initiates a reset.

It seems that we can describe the error, BUT, does anyone have a soution?????

cont  from above: I have performed a "whipe handheld"-reset. Now the Auto-Start works, but the clock has disappeared from the front display. It now shows the BB-logo, or is totally gray.

- I am VERRY disappointed of RIM!!! No possibility of a support contact. No knowledge base that  covers the actually faced problems. No possibility to reload the OS. No possibility of actually managing the phone via desktop-manager, just the "RIM never has problems" attitude.

 P.S. I just own my two 8220 for four days and have had nothing but trouble and no-go's
