Phone shuts down when deleting photos, please help

Question

WHen I connect my iphone to the computer, I can get the pictures from the camera roll with no problem. If I choose to delete the photos after transfer, or If I manually select the photos, and then press delete, the phone stops responding, shuts down and restarts without deleting the photos. I can delete them one at a time directly from the camera roll on the phone, but that takes a long time and I simply dont think that deleting them all at once should be a problem. Has anyone else had this problem, that can help me fix it? Apple says that they have never heard of this before, but I cant possibly be the only one with this problem

Answer 1

I confirm the issue: this did not happen with Firmware 2.1
iPhone 16G with firmware 2.2.1
Windows XP Pro SP3 - 3.2GHz 2G RAM
Steps to reproduce:
1. Plug iPhone into USB port
2. When the dialog appears accept the use of the Scanning Wizard
3. Elect to pull all of the photos from the phone, and check the
"delete when done" box.
4. Observe that all of the photos are pulled successfully
5. Then the wizard says "deleting pictures 1 of 455"
6. There is a pause - obout 20 seconds
7. The iPhone then reboots with no warning
and the wizard thinks it has finished: reports no errors.
I have seen this issue reported elsewhere on Apple forums, so think
that other people are seeing the issue, too.
e.g. "Deleting photos using Windows Camera Wizard makes my iPhone reboot"
