Thanks benny888...good advice...will probably be buying in the next few days...
Buying gadgets sometimes depend on luck. I always quote my ex boss Mercedes S Class ( RM800k) broke down on highway in a week. Does this means the S Class is a low quality car ? Definitely not. Sometimes QC mid process just fail especially if it is done by a human being
I have bought so many smartphones/tablets past 4 years and only once I encountered a faulty unit - HTC Touch Pro . The GPS chip failed to lock and have the motherboard replaced FOC within 10 days ( and is AP set)
Even the recent iphone4 series many hardware complains - power button, screen yellowish, battery life very much worse - yet it still sell like hot cakes
So don't worry too much about a few users complaining. After all this thread user will post their problems. Users who do not faced any problems rarely post praises. My 2 units so far is superb ( one UK set, another SME) - have no hardware issues, no display problems, no Spen inaccuracy, software is superb - there is no hang/freeze issues
When you buy a new unit , if you are concerned let it be on stock for a week or so before rooting/flash any roms. Any hardware/software issues you'd see within the first week. And DON'T install any cracked/pirate apps as these will in a wauy affect your phone's stability ( sudden auto restarts, freeze hang in midst of operation etc ) and DON'T use any task killers
