Any replies would be very welcome as I know you are all a very knowledgeable bunch and it is a lot of money for me to potentially spend.

is this normal?

It hold's it's charge fine when it's sitting in your pocket doing nothing. I find I just don't charge it in the same way I have done with previous phones. I have a cable at home plugged into my PC, a cable at work and one in my car. Rather than give it one good charge a day, over night or whatever, I just top up throughout the day, depending on where I am. You just learn to manage it.

I know I'm doing something wrong, but how exactly do I choose a song I'd like to play as opposed to searching for an artist and getting a series of similar sounding ones that I more often than not already have on the ipod part of the phone anyway?

I seem to remember Dave saying somewhere he had his entire music collection on it and that was interesting. Correct me if I'm wrong though...

You will need to download the latest version of winamp (free version) and get the 3.08 (or higher) ml_ipod plugin.

Then it's just a question of dragging and dropping mp3 files (or whatever) onto your IPhone 3g. You can create and edit playlists; change the order of tracks; add or delete tracks; copy files from your iPhone to your PC etc etc. When you are done, simply click on 'Eject' to sync with your iPhone and you are done!
