Help! Is my XDA Exec a dud?

[the.titan]

I never know whether I'm being too picky, but I've just bought an XDA Exec and would like to know whether mine is sub-standard or if other people's XDA Execs are just the same.

Overall, the build quality seems to be pretty good, but I find that the casing "creaks" really annoyingly in a couple of places :

- around the IR port on the front edge (I tend to put my thumb on while opening it, which makes it a bit annoying), and

- on the corner next to the pen slot (which gets pressed when I'm pushing the Exec into the protective case).

Finally, the screen seems to me to be a bit slow re-orienting itself when I switch between PDA and laptop modes.

I know these kind of moans are bit of a boring subject, but I would really appreciate some advice from other owners, so I can either get fussy with O2 or put my mind at rest!

Thanks a million.

I am using a Jasjar jus for your info.

There is a very slight noticeable creak with the IR port but nothing near the stylus.

The reason why the switching of orientation is very long is usually attributed to the number of today plugins installed. Also, if there are plenty of programs running in the background taking up a lot of your program memory, slowing down may occur.

I DONT THINK YOU HAVE A DUD.

No creak for me, but it is slow'ish switching from landscape to portrait when there's lots on the Today screen. Cutting down the number of icons should help considerably.

BTW, after atempting to run with the O2 Active install, I opted for the Corporate install and much prefer it.

Hope that helps.

Corporate mode, install GSPMagic+, disable error reporting (settings) and disable beam (also settings) and you should see improved speed on switching. I have a slight creek from the tight hinge of the camshell, which I don't mind.
