Anyone's T809 have issues with sticky slider and tinny audio

1. I've had the phone for about a week now. I've used it A LOT. I'm noticing that the slider is already much stickier than a friend of mine's T809, who just got one yesterday. Anyone notice this problem?

2. Also a few days ago I noticed that the beeping when using the phone, ie scrolling through menus writing text messages, etc, seems to get very tinny after a decent amount of use. It almost sounds like blown out speakers or something. The beep begins nice and round and smooth sounding, but if you scroll through a bunch of menus or type a long text it begins to get this nasty tinny noise. Anyone notice this?

My issue is whether I should exchange the phone for a new one, or if these are just standard problems of the phone.

I periodically have this problem too. It's the track that the slider runs on. you have to ensure it's free of any dirt/dust. It' will stick if not used in a while but after that, no problem. This is my second one. I had the problem on both phones.
