a truly depressingly boring tv series!

I think I'd gouge my eyes out after 5 minutes of that.

Well I just picked mine up from Tesco.

Their is very minimal screen lift, can't really tell at all. Their doesn't appear to be any dead pixels however the colours do look a little washed out. Not sure why that is.

See, you think it's fine, so you invent ANOTHER issue.

The clamping has done nothing. Maybe it has to be an overnight thing? It's certainly more raised now though. Can't be bothered, I'm getting a refund and never bothering again.

Yes, I imagine it does have to be left for more than an hour...

He's "never bothering again"

Until the next batch comes in.

Didn't you go through multiple Apple / Samsung devices as well ?

He's been through loads of everything.

I wouldn't sell him anything as it's pretty much guaranteed that he will post a moan about it on here due to some inane thing "wrong" with it

You'd have to be clinically insane to sell him anything.

Don't you be threatening me, Sonny Jim.

It's arrived at CPW:

I imagine they will have secured stock which is free of the screen problem. Otherwise they are just letting themselves in for a load of hassle with customers returning the devices.

After looking at the Microsoft Surface thread, I am now having second thoughts in buying this. But then, is it really a comparison?

I am heading out on a flight on the 8th August to Asia, 11 hour flight - should I get myself one? I was thinking of converting a load of films to play on it, but is 32GB enough??

32GB?

It's a competitor, remove it.

Skeeter, you have a Sensation don't you?

That's not especially well put together, the overall design of it is rubbish from a durability perspective.

Whats wrong with the design 'from a durability perspective'? I love the in the hand feel of it. The software has been its biggest let down though. Sense has lost its way, and the random restarts are getting annoying.

The way it slots into the shell is just a bit of a creaky mess, when using it, there's a bit of give that you can notice sometimes.

It feels nice though, but then so do the Samsung phones.
