2x N80 Issues

Hi

I am having the following to isses with the phone and was wondering if it is just me or if anybody else is having them

1.) mini-SD issues. I format my 2gb mini-sd card and remove it and copy files onto it using a pc (music, smart movie files). i then return it to the phone and it works for between 1-30 mintues and then I get "memory card corruption" errors. I can't even format the card in the phone anymore and have to format it in a pc. It seems completely random but it looks like the phone is corrupting the file system ? When I take a corrupted card and insert it into the pc the file can be read so I don't think it is the card.

2.) sometimes the display scrambles when the phone rings. At first I thought it was when a person who had a photo attached called but it seems to also be random. Sometimes it rings and the display is fine, other times 80% of the screen is scrambled until I answer the call.

I am using the 3.0617.06 firmware.

Thanks
Simon

I bought a 2gb card during the week with no problems but lots of people are complaining of similar problems.

But i havnt heard of the screen problem.. Return it and get a new one. May solve both problems..

I would take the phone back and get a new one, it will be under warrantee, the screen issue worries me and it could be hardware fault, maybe a dry joint in the soldering or the PCB

Alot of cards are casuing problems even my 1gig.

When i go into gallery none of the pictures load up. theres just a template with a line through it
