  yeah tough break on that, im sorry that yours didnt work out well upon delivery. doesnt micca like screw you over returns too? its like 15% restocking fee or some crap. i totally agree about the display though, its sooo crisp and clear. and having more data on the screen is nice too. they needed to do something with the display on the X3II it was soo dark and the contrast was total crap. i mean, i know its not a nintendo DS or anything, but it was impossible to see out in the sun. and i hated having to squint so badly to read it. and if you got dust on it, forget about it.

They should not charge for defective replacements, only returns for refunds.

My pre-order should ship tonight or tomorrow.
 
Looking forward to experiencing the X5ii and stop using my PoS iPhone 6 Plus.

Do the Lockscreen animations show the X5ii yet? In the beta FW the tour units shipped with, those animations were nabbed directly from the X5 Classic :blink:


What Lockscreen animations? I've only ever seen static images in the Lockscreen settings showing what the active buttons are for each selection.

That's what I meant x RELIC x. I only called them "animations" because the image changes as you scroll through the choices. The X5ii beta FW had .png files from the X5 Classic FW. Just wondering if that's been fixed, as I'd PMed Joe about it...

Hanging out for the x5 gen 2 to be released in Nz as it will be my first dap - replacing my ipod.
A store here has the OG X3 for $279 and the gen 2 X3 for $299.
Are the prices overseas about the same or do you think the X5 will cost more than the OG X5 - currently $459.

Thanks

Totally OT, but are you another Nikolaus?

I used to go by Nik but have switched to my full name when I went out into the work world.

Sorta.
Im Nicholas but prefer Nik.


Huh, never met a Nicholas who just used a k instead of ch or ck. Well, good on you for breaking conventions :wink_face:

Having an unusual name (Nikolaus Matheis) leads to weird misinterpretations like today's DHL Delivery tagging me as "NICK MATHIEUS" or getting registered as "MICKOLAUS MATHERS" for a term at university.
