................and finds it hisses through the speaker when making calls?

I've had mine 2 days and there's a light, but frankly annoying hiss through the earpiece during calls.  It's doing my nut. O2 said they'd dispatch me another one when they came into stock, but I wondered if it was a common trait with the phone or whether I just have a duff handset

i was thinking of getting one

do the batterys still only last a day before recharging

Yeah the 8GB one's are a lot better battery-life wise.

 Papa dave - download the updated version of Nokia maps; it's a little better than the old one. Having said that it's still not the most intuitive software. (or obtain an erm.... ripped copy of Tom Tom or Nav Man software, which apparently you can run on it....so I've heard anyways)

Sportstracker however, it's a great download - I use it to track my rides etc and upload 'em straight to the nokia website to view..
