Slow Calendar

Hi All, first time on here.
I hope the question about my problem is clear? :)
I have a 9800 Torch. All is generally okay but 2 very irritating problems I hope someone can help me with. Here goes�

1. I have a hotmail account imported into Outlook 2003 on my desktop computer.
I use the calendar from the �personal� folders that are contained within the outlook programme. (I don�t use the �hotmail account� calendar, never have done).
The calendar appears on my 9800 okay (even though it is listed under my email address??) but it�s very, very slow to respond when any changes, additions are made or when tapping the �Today� button.
The whole phone freezes for anywhere between 20 and 40 seconds. Then tends to �free� itself until I need it to do something else. It�s just as though the processor isn�t up to the job.
It�s driving me up the wall. Vodafone have replaced it but the replacement is exactly the same.
Does anyone else have/had this problem and if so, can it be fixed before I skim the blooming thing across a lake!? :mad: Thanks!

2. I have a 16gb memory card fitted and some, not all, of my movies lose sound or stop for a long time when playing, especially if I change the volume as it�s playing. Any ideas?

Any info would be greatly appreciated. I�m not great at the technical stuff so �simplicity� would need to be the order of the day! lol

Thanks All

Dave
