2. None of my my videos are playing. I tried like 15 different videos and it just says unable to play file format. Switched off the phone and switched it back on. Played 2 videos and then back to the same thing. Unable to play file format.

3. Switching between desk tops is a painful process. I swipe and swipe and it doesn't move. Eventually it gets its act together but in stages. Freezes half way through before managing to change the whole screen.

I really hope this is not a sign of things to come. It is not like I paid $100 for it. With something so expensive I would have hoped it would at least not give such troubles. It is a different matter if it is completely faulty after all electronics do fail. But these are just bugs and bugs that you would not expect in a $600 device.

Has anyone else had their device working perfectly fine and then go mental on them one day? If so what was the solution? I am hoping it is just going through a bad phase today and would be back to normal tomorrow. Don't want to flash the device and lose all my settings I spent ages on. Also don't want it to be that I get this problem every week and keep having to flash the device. That would be pretty annoying.
Iīve used mine daily for the last 12 days. Pretty heavily. Havenīt seen any of that, but then Iīve not either enabled or installed anything from extras-testing.

Itīs being pretty good, I am currently watching a 300mb video podcast and, and downloading more podcasts and IMīing and emailing away.

Iīve not flashed once.

Talking about flashing will the N900 be like the Symbian phones, will I have to redo the settings every single time I update the firmware? If so why can Nokia not do things like OS updates are done on desktops, where settings stay untouched while you make system updates?
