The new firmware on Archos 5 Android released on monday fixes most of the bugs according to early users reports: http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?p=170524#p170524

You have to make sure you install this firmware doing a clean install. Follow the infos on my forum for how to do that.

There are only 2-3 bad reviews on Amazon, it has just been released.

And the Amazon freezing probably has to do with them wanting to pre-install this new firmware before shipping out more units and newbies complain because of bugs.
