I have just taken the 1050 and come from 1040.
I did the initial configuration without problems by connecting to the phone; but, when I connect it to the pc to update the maps it stutters in a continuous reboot and I am forced to do a factory reset. 
Garmin Connect v. 7.24
Garmin 1050 firmware 11.24
After the umpteenth reset I decided not to attach it to the pc and I did an exit of 4 hours without problems....
