Jd, is it like the phone made after 34 week have electro-static noise problem resolved??
no, the prob. is not resolved till now, i think. even the 11W35 handsets also having this issue, some members reported with the same manuf. date.
plz, see the below links, u easily get what's going on now,

http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1240
seems most of the handsets are having this issue and also some other issues. but, till now SE didn't give any satisfy answers/remedy/fix/recall/whatever, to customers who have already bought the phone with issues.
the handset don't give any probs. initially. but, it slowly showing one by one probs. i think. i don't know but seeing the replies from forum members i can get an idea.
better u've to wait a little more time to get the same model, see if SE is releasing the next batch with all probs. fixed. if u want urgently and gonna try, i won't force u not to buy. best of luck, hope u'll get a good set.
some members here like pt020, adnan, bonovox, etc., they didn't report any issues till now. i think they are lucky to get those handsets.
and pt020 nice accessory for ur new phone, well enjoy with full loads.
and adnan nice short review and photos too. don't feel bad about english & there's no need to mention in the forums, i think. me also not familiar with english and i didn't mentioned in anywhere in any forums before. just managing with simple english.

someone is selling mini pro at ebay so, i asked the member to upload the original pics of the handset and accessories to my email, yes it comes with in-earphone and an extra blue back cover for the black set & a tiny microsd with a tiny storage capacity(2gb) for this little monster(shame on SE not providing any bigger capacity internal/external memory).

jd, its really shame. I am going to buy at the end of October, at diwali time. So lets hope something come out of  regarding problem. As far as my need concern, i can cope up with the noise until it sounds in all environment like traffic or party. I hardly shoot video in silence places. From my point of view, the slider must not loosen up or the belt cable connection between cpu and qwerty keypad must not get damaged.
pt020, does your mini handle two bluetooth connections at a time. How frequent your liveview or mw600 loose connection with phone??? My k850 and ds980 often loose connection in a day, specially when phone rings (at start of a call). can your liveview start or stop music in mw600 also ????

@bonovox, pt020,
wow u both r having the same static noise issue, i thought most of the handsets are affected by this. but, now i came to know that all handsets r having this issue. i can't believe it. till now nobody knows this is related to hardware/software failure, even SE also keeping silent.
the noise is not only in video recordings, but, it seems almost there all the time. i think.
u can hear the noise by removing the back cover and keep ur ear near to the earphone jack in the upside-back while the phone is in idle mode.
someone reported that noise is gone when the phone is connected to the usb port of PC/laptop or power charger. |

jdthegr8kd: Don't forget about me... Mine does the same static noise...
I don't think, this is a big issue (until now) except for few video shooters, who have to shoot video in silent environment.

i didn't forget u, i thought atleast u r the luckiest person to get a good set without this noise issue.
what i've to tell. mmmm... everybody facing the same issue. again shame on . without proper testing how they came to release this mobile.
yes, this is not a big issue for u(adnan). but, everybody is facing the same issue means then it's really a big issue.
here i copy paste some infos. from SE forum on how to test ur mobile plz, read and post ur comments.
"THE PROBLEM
The electrostatic noise is almost always there when device is active (we've tested it earleir and noise is there even when screen is off)!!! The video-recording just captures it, that part works perfectly, the problem is the noise... However, it's best to describe the noise with a vid (my favourite, with a very old official comment...):
http://youtube.com/watch?v=3rapg47uyQU
HOW TO TEST
So to test if you're (un)lucky (TEST A) you can shoot a video in relatively silent environmaent and play it back on above average volume AND/OR take the following short steps:
TEST B
1. Make and keep your screen active/lit (it's easy e.g. start camera app... not essential, but that's the easiest way)
2. Put your device very close to your ear - that part where you can find the jack's hole
3. Listen to the insect-like electrostatic noise there...
For me it's frightening to listen to this, I'm afraid it ruins lifetime of the phone!
Remark:
-when USB is plugged in AND connected to a charger/laptop - the noise is gone: seems like grounding of a bizarre interference.
Very likely, but not 100% certain other findings:
-The headphone jack's unplugged/plugged state don't alter the noise
-It's not really screen, rather activity related. Active screen strongly correlates with more intensive operation, but not exclusively, the noise can be reproduced with the screen off!
-Unlikely it's the battery: other types of SE mobile phones use the battery type EP500 as well, seemingly without this noise
-Unlikely it's the processor: very limited sound can be heard during boot process, which is very intensive for the processor
-I couldn't test it, but reported: noise is gone when CPU is at nearly max. load: cca. 99%"
