My Nokia 6280 hates me!

I've got a contract with 3, and got a Nokia 6280. It was sent to my house in late March, but I personally only started using it 27th April as I wasn't there.

When I go on WAP, the screen goes black, and then a few seconds later it returns to the main phone screen.
When I phone voicemail or anything else where you need to press buttons in response to a menu (ie press 1 for an option, 2 for something else, 3 for something else...) it doesn't register and nothing happens.
If I turn my phone off, when I turn it on again it sometimes says "enter restriction code" and I have to turn it off again, wait and turn it on again.

I've phoned 3, and I spoke to a very nice man named Vicky, but he couldn't suggest anything. He says if it continues then phone back and he'll book it in for a software upgrade. Bearing in mind that at most I've only had it just over 2 months can I insist on a replacement?
