iPhone 4 intermittent crashes - Facebook app issue?

My iPhone 4 rarely crashed before Sunday. The only thing that changed was I installed the latest Facebook app (with the Places feature). Since then, the phone will intermittently crash at random. I've noticed it crashes while in Messages, Mail, and iPod. When it crashes, it returns to the homescreen and I'm able to re-launch apps as normal.

I notice this mostly in iPod, which I use a lot. While playing mid-song, iPod will crash. When I re-launch iPod, it will have returned to the beginning of the song that just crashed. At times it will crash in Messages while I'm composing a text. When I relaunch Messages, it returns me to the message stream I was in, but everything I have typed just before it crashed is lost.

Strangely, it hasn't crashed on me while in the Facebook app. Not sure if the app has anything to do with this?

After the crashing started, I upgraded to the latest version of iOS4, which I hadn't done yet. Didn't help. Have also tried numerous restarts, both hard and "soft."

Any ideas? Makes using the phone a painful process. Before the iPhone 4, I had an original iPhone that never had crashing problems like this.

The apps on my iPhone 4 have been crashing, as well. Tried all the restarts and reboots and nothing seems to help. The Best Buy app is what seems to crash on me a lot as well as games my son plays. Safari also crashes when scrolling down through long pages. Never had a problem before with iphone software. What was originally a minor annoyance is turning into an aggravating experience.

My iPhone 3GS crashes when I hit the older posts in Facebook and it crashes sometimes in my mail after I have hit the delete key. It must be the operating system that is causing the problem as I have updated to the OS4. Can someone help? This is driving me crazy because it does not happen all the time. I have tried everything, too, that Apple has previously said to do. Help...!
