N8 self restarts

Question

Hi,
I have an N8 for 4 days and it restarts by itself.
I don't know if this is an issue or not, because I had a N95 before and it was freezing from time to time, once every 2 months, but hey, even Windows freezes sometimes.
I could play game on it for hours. It never restarted during playing games.
I play RoboDef (strategy) for more than 4 hours, Angry Birds for 3 hours, Sky Force for 2-3 hours, as I said, no problem, no restart during games.
However my N8 restarts during the night, or even in my jacket pocket, I can hear sometimes Nokia tune for starting up, other times is restarting silently. I am leaving one application open to monitor if it had restart, then the application is gone.
Today my N8 restarted once.
Yesterday it restarted 2 times. Two days before the same.
I was reading about the problems with N8 turning dead and it is simply scary.
My question is:
Is my N8 a defective unit, or the restart from time to time just happened?
I shouldn't worry and go to ask for my money back from the store in the first 7 days?

Hi, don't looze time with hard reset or else.
This is a hardware problem. I had exactly the same, mine did restart 2 or 3 times a day, sometime more, very randomly at any time (during the night, in my pocket, ....)
I had the latest software and firmware update from nokia, I tried Hard reset + format mass memory + remove sim card + remove storage card, but the probleme was still there.
So I gave it to a Nokia Care Center and now I am praying for it to be repaired.
SO.
If you bought it lesse than 7 days (depends on your country), you can ask for a replacement and push your luck.
if more than 7 days, you will have to have it repaired by nokia (3 weeks minimums ...) and you will hope that they find the cure ....
or you may still choose to go for android and be quiet
