My P910i has been rock solid since day one. I am also an ex P800 user and
that did get the yellow triangle of death from time too time. So far (5
months) my P910i has not crashed once.

I am a Windows user so I don't know. Try searching at Esato
(http://www.esato.com); I have seen iSync mentioned in a few topics there.

None that I have found.

It takes longer to boot up but once it has got going everything runs fine.
I have not noticed the calender slowing down.

Again, none that I am aware of.

Mine squeaks but I think that is because it fell off the passenger seat of
my car at flew into the foot well. I don't remember it squeaking before
but it does now.

Cleaning out the old entries does accelerate access to the calendar and
switching bewteen the day/week/month views. What it does not accelerate
is the time it takes from the appointment editing screen back to the
day/week/month view. I also think it's quite pathetic for a device with
such oddles of memory (and even if by today's standards the P800 is not
memory-rich, it *does* pack a lot of memory from a realistic
perspective) to be slowed down by a handful of appointments. One should
be able to *keep* one's appointments.
