Display Unit Question

**gregorylkelly** · 04-15-2011, 11:06 AM

Is it worth it to drive 10 minutes to see a display unit right now? They aren't able to get passed the activation screen, but it would be able to hold it and feel it in my hands to see if I want it based on that or not.

Is this worth it or would I be wasting my time?

If its only a 10 Min drive for you i would say do it. It gives you a nice feel of the device and you can see how sharp the screen is. If your planning on buying it, atleast go hold it lol.

I know, but I could also wait until this weekend and use a full functional one I think.

I just have no patience and would have been all over this a month ago, but with the real release only a few days away, I almost feel I should just wait. Decisions....

I am totally going to Staples after work today in the hopes they have them out and I can hold one, I don't even care if it's not working

I'm sold. Fridays are slow as **** for me anyways and I work mostly from my cell phone. I'll head to Staples now and touch it

I am heading out today, wife has her things to do and I think I will call the stores around here to see if a demo unit is out and about. Want to put hands on this thing. I might not even like it, OR love it.

Just so you know, I was denied on my first to calls, but the 3rd Staples I called had them and they guy told me it wasn't working but it was out on display. The other stores (both closer, one a block from my house....) said they didn't have them yet and weren't expecting them till sunday at the earliest.

I will call before hitting any stores.

As you can see in this picture, the Power Button is slightly raised. I can assure you that I have no problem pressing the button. There is no feedback while pressing the button, but if you press it, you will know it when you let go as there was a little clicking upon releasing the power button.

Pictures 4 and 5 show the Power Button.
Picture 3 shows all the buttons.
Picture 2 shows the Staples Case they have it locked down with
Picture 1 shows the boot up screen.
