I received my second tablet yesterday, and guess I must be jinxed as this one is defective too...

The first one had a small bubble in the screen, right in the centre, that shows as a dark spot on a light background & a white spot on a dark background. So, I got in touch with Amazon.de who agreed to replace it without argument. I had to wait a couple of weeks for them to get more stock, so only just received the replacement yesterday. Unfortunately this one is defective too - it has a very yellow tint to the screen, and also the wifi won't reconnect after I power the tablet off and back on. I have to drop the network, and set it up again from scratch.

I still have the original tablet as Amazon told me that I don't have to send it back until I received the replacement, and I'm toying with the idea of just keeping this one and returning the second one. The original tablet works perfectly in every way; the small bubble in the glass is quite small, and only noticeable if you look for it but I'm worried that it could be a potential weak spot, and mean that the screen is more likely to crack/break if it's dropped or hit.

Buying from Amazon.de to import to me here in the UK has saved me a bit of money, but it's a hassle having to return defective items to Germany. Should I send them both back and hold out for a perfect replacement? Opinions, please...

wtf..you have to first charge it for 8 hours??? that was like 10 years ago the case with the phones but not anymore..

I am going to get my today and was toying with the idea that just rip it off from the package and start playing already on my way to meet friends..and now you saying that the first time I can play with it is tomorrow morning????? (since going to be out with friends a bit late)

Ehh..how do I say this? I'm going to give it more time. I'm not sure if my WiFi internet is acting funky but I noticed my infinity wasn't responding thus morning when I was looking up the weather. Just packets being sent.

Screen is beautiful but I do notice its not perfectly even around the casing (not even close). WiFi connection and distance is great so far. Unfortunately I cannot use this BT mouse without WiFi dropping from 8Mbps to 0.3Mbps at best. Sucks for my presentations over hdmi.

Sound is clearer but not louder. I will be looking into this. That is disappointing considering I still have the stickers on it saying sonicmaster. Wish they could have increased that wattage output with better speakers. Maybe 2W?

As beautiful as my screen is , my complaint about IPS+ is that coming from a prime there were no issues. With IPS+ on I notice that anywhere between 0-50% increase there is very little change. After around 50-60% there is a dramatic increased in contrast , but on the lower levels it isn't good. I have acclimated to the IPS+ on all that time but at 0% like my old prime. Which brings me to my next point.

Battery - what can I say ? It's not the prime. Not even close to iPad2 or iPad3. But I will have to wait until a few more weeks. I didn't follow instructions and leave it charging for 8 hours because as soon as I plugged it in it turned on. Would someone explain to me why this is necessary in 2012? The screen does eat away at battery. I'm seeing about 5-6 hours at ips 0-30% until it shuts off. We shouldn't need a dock to extend just for 10hours. But it also seems to me the dock isn't properly charging the pad ? Or else isn't being reported right. I remember when ever I went into settings about status with the prime I would see under battery status with dock plugged in , charging. I don't see it anymore or the animation the dock is charging the tab. Also , it seems once my inifiunity hits 75-80% dock kicks in but then they both drop , not just the dock battery(as its suppose to be charming infinity)

Browsing is a little slow. Can't put my finger on it. Opera sucks because as much as I like the screen the text is so small now and I have no idea how to change it without double tapping. If anyone can help out or suggest something I'd be appreciative.

All in all we will see. I need a usable computer as I no longer have one and figured this would meet birth worlds. Time will tell or else I will take it back. I don't want to unlock and screw someone else over (or myself) if this breaks. I don't like unlocking and voiding warranty

I remember when I got my prime. A lot of the software issues you guys are speaking of were also issues on the prime. They were fixed with OTAs. Asus was quick to fix the issues. When I say quick, I mean within 2 months compared to other manufacturers, that is quick. Jelly Bean will make this tablet shine.

Just recieved my replacement Infinity. Everything works perfect this time (bluetooth/wifi/netflix issue is gone, no lag, no click, earphones work great, updated out the box) except the bottom left screen is not seated right. I can stick my finger nail in it. So Im gonna send it back again to exchange it for another one. All I can say is F@@@@@@ck.

My C6OKAS is pretty solid. So far only thing I'm worried about is the amount of heat this thing is putting out. Currently at 108.9 °f!!! That's after playing MC3 for 10mins and browsing XDA on balnced mode and 50% brightness. I still have about 24 days for an exchange so ill hold on to it unless it becomes to unbearable to hold!

so far, so good!

Screen is fine - minimal bleed - no bugginess that others have had (fingers crossed!)

Definitely has helped me "travel lighter" as I can get a decent amount of stuff done on it without requiring my powerful laptop (to run VMs, etc.)
