Buy or not to Buy: Screen Problem.. this is the question !

[ronzino]

Hi guys,

well, i'm thinking to replace my Blue Angel with an Hermes. I have followed since september discussion about screen alignment and also the topic with POLL about SA problem.

At the end of the poll, we have noticed that SA problem has a spread of 50%.

So.... my problem is this:

I can scrape this PDA for a special price (brand new version of course) but i will not recive a cash voucer, so i will not be able to recive assistence or replacement for my device.

So if a recive a "NO SA problem PDA" i will be really happy, but if a will recive an "old serial number decive with SA problem" ??? what i will have to do ? :confused: :(

I have read about "credit card" and "removing foam" procedure, but are them realy able to solve the problem on every device with succes rate about of 100% ? Do they always work if well performed ?

thanks for all

I may be one of the lucky 50% with the one I have, but I had the Hermes now for 2 months, taking it to remote places like India and Indonesia, treating it badly as a work device and it still works falwlessly as it did on it's first day.

The only thing that got messed up so far is the screen since I use anything at hand (including keys and other sharp devices) as a pointer simply because I don't like to fumble around with the provided pen. So I recommend a good screen protector.

And - not to forget to mention - I tossed the case they provide at the first day - the magnets of the case were strong enough to make my ATM card unreadable when I accidentially had it close to the case - maybe that is the reason for most of the problems, stong magnets and electronic equipment usually don't go along together that well...
My 5 cents...
