Breaking in bugs or Faults?

Question

Hi,
first post on the forums so want to say hi to all
i have had a N96 for about a week now (well since Monday and have had a few problems, most of them have disappeared like slowness and lag but i have been faced with a few persistent problems that are really putting me of the cool phone.
first of the big problems is the music side of things, i cant use the NMM at all, hate the multiple connection settings thing, after i put music on the phone in the music folder not the sounds folder it seems to have to update every time i want to listen to music, if i select no refresh or cancel it refuses to show and music so i have to refresh, in fact i am doing it now and it has been refreshing for 1 hour 12 mins and has found 114 songs !!
another problem i have found is images, i have a folder from my last phone (XDA orbit 2) and it contains around 800 plus images that i must have, when i put the folder (that contains around 34 sub folders) on the phone i have to reset for it to even respond, when it loads up it lags badly, and i mean really bad, if i try and open anything, like media player it times out loading and returns to the front screen, if i try to browse images (god forbid) it does the same or even crashes, i thaught it may be a form of loading the images like refreshing the library for music but yesterday i left the phone for 4 hours and came back to it and it still wouldt mve so i had to go into file manager and delete the folder in order to even make a call!
and the last big problem (god am ranting ) is with Bluetooth streaming, i bought a new £60 headset for the music and if i dare connect to it to listen to music the phone goes ballistic i cant even make calls with it because it will just crash and 2 times out of 10 it will allow me to listen to music through it.
i no this looks like a bashing session on the n96 but it is not because i love this brick.....i mean work of art to death and am hoping these problems fade out so do you guys have any idea how to stop these problems from arising ? or do you think i'm just going to have to wait for a firmware update ?
thanks

Lord Alias,
I too have simiar problem with the pictures. I put about 900 pics on my E:Mass Drive route and the phone is so damn slow cycling the pictures! I was forced to delete the pics.
On the music side, I use my iPod touch for it because I am afraid the battery would just die out like in a few minutes eh. I put about 14 tracks in the folder which has preloaded mp3's on it. I deleted those mp3's that came with the phon and put my 14 tracks on it. The N96 is fast with music for me but then again I only have 14 songs so that is the reason why I assume.
Any luck in finding how to make your unit run faster with all those songs and photos??
I think i may have found a work around but im not sure at this point, i was told by nokia staff that for large files, such as my pictures and music that i should use the "Mass Storage" connection as it is 5 times faster and ensures nothing get corrupted, this time i used the media transfer mode, it did take about 20 mins but it is running exceptionally well now i have given it time to mellow out, it is still laggy but i can now use all media players, surf the web and browse the pictures i put on with no problems ! ill give it some more time and try the rest of the features !
i did actually think that i had hit a digital stump with this phone but i think it is actually a case of letting the phone catch up after you remove the cable?
