He guys,

I got my brand new MBP a week ago from the online Apple store.

If a couple of strange issues that I think are due to its graphic card.

*flickering/short blackouts(1sec) Apple cinema display (24") when connected, sometimes often

*when it changes between the two graphic cards it slows down, and is barely usable for the coming 10minutes (beachballs, freezes sometimes)

*got some strange problems when awaking the mbp, sometimes it keeps sleeping and their is no way to actually bring it back to life. (hard restart)

*playing a .mkv file sometimes the display gets really correlated and disturbed

Does anyone has the problems as well?

I called Apple already for a return, hoping the next one is fine!

I have the same base model as you and I haven't experienced any of these issues, I don't have any flickering with my 27 ACD. Hopefully your replacement will work like a charm.
 
I have also problems when I remove the mini displayport from the machine, beachballs and freezes but after a while it becomes usable again... nobody got these problems as well?
