the application market android developers phone force close failed

When trying to sort out issues on the android developer phone it seems a hard task. When there is a issue on the phone there are so many other networks, tmobile, phones that could be the issue so trying to identify the fault is difficult. as i tried to open the application market. i found the following error.
the application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again force close
after a search on the net i could only find to uninstall some programs. although i am not sure why the phone has failed. if i had taken a list of the apps i had installed or could follow the date when it stopped i could pinpoint the issue. after checking through and removing some programs by:
menu / settings / applications / manage applications /
then you can high light any apps, choose  clear data, clear cache, force stop. if it is a program that is installed, an extra app then it can be unistalled by choosing the Uninstall button.
after i uninstalled all apps that i did not want including
twitter
i could now access the apps market and install apps.
I hope you do not have the same problems as me.

a few days later and the error has reappeared. the market application keeps crashing.
i tried settings, manage applications, market, then choose the option to clear cache. power off the phone and restart. no change
so settings, manage applications, market, the shoose the option to uninstall, this reverts back to version 1620 of the app. when reloading the app. you have to now accept the terms of service, confirm accept. a reload and market is back up and working.....
