Will us early adopters get a deal on trade in of L3 for L3Pro?
Will us early adopters get a deal on trade in of L3 for L3Pro?
Is there an L3PRO thread already?
Why? Do you want to share your first impression?
Maybe we should jump over to a L3/L3P thread, so we can keep some firmware links and instruction at first post.
I am not sure if there is going to be a trade in, but beta testers in China mentioned that they would love to pay 1k rmb(150usd) for the build quality and sonic upgrade.
Bad news...
Just received my L3 back from the factory for screen repairs. They also helped me upgrade the firmware to 1.0.0.3.
Now the player randomly shuts down after playing a few songs and takes a while to boot back up. Hopefully it stabilizes but I highly doubt it.
So Alex thinks that the wood that came with it is a business card holder and a bookmark thing
Any other guesses? Is everyone getting this?
The only thing I've done so far is put the L3Pro in the leather case and charged it. The leather once again is so incredibly nice, best cases on the market. I did notice the player displaying something like "Not for sale" when shutting down (putting it in the case turned it on), I wonder if this will impact the fw upgrade (like the AK Demo models, which can't be updated the standard way)
Regarding the beautiful wooden business card holder and bookmark, I was told "I think the bookmark and name card holder are gifts to thank hard working reviewers like you, as a token of appreciation", so they are probably not included in the retail version.
Also, another difference between the L3 Pro and L3 on the exterior is that the L3 has a brushed aluminium front whereas the L3 Pro's is matte.
Overall, I think while the etched/engraved buttons as well as slight colour change and different case are just a small difference/change, they make quite a difference when it comes to perceived build quality.
