Bees Swarming

Do all Nokia N80s (or is it just mine) buzz and rattle with vibrate on. Mine is at the point of downright annoying, the facility to have the phone on silent with vibrate on is pointless as when the phone rings or alarms it sounds like there's a swarm of bees with wooden wings in my pocket. Nokia might have spent 3 years developing this phone and coming up with some excellent features but build wise, this 'flagship' phone is second rate after only 3 months. Local Nokia service centre and various calls o/seas tell me the phone is "within specification" I've re-read the specs on the phone and still can't find the part where it says the phone should rattle. The movement in the slider is excessive and appears to be getting worse, and probably 1 day out of warranty will end up in two pieces. Does anyone have this same problem? And to anyone thinking of getting an N80 who requires a discreet vibrate in silent mode, from my experience, distance yourself from this phone like Nokia have with my problem.
