This needs custom firmware BAD.All the buttons are on the back and hard to reach in the case. The onscreen icons for Back and Menu are missing, But has 2 useless icons for a phone.No working accelerometer if it has one you can't get to it. Cannot turn on manual rotate in settings. It's landscape and stays that way. Some apps try to display portrait and show shortened in the middle of the landscape screen. Has a terminal but I can't get a keyboard to come up.Cable to allow regular USB connector to plug into the Mini-USB doesn't work. So I cannot use a thumbdrive, mose or keyboard. (this may be an easy fix might just be bad cable)More later.

Bout to call and bug kmart again, hopefully they came in today so i can enjoy the crappiness too

add to the list no volume buttons, if you hookup via usb, you have to unmount and remove the sd card before you can mount it on a computer. I have not found a way to clear my google account, as i would sure like to either sell or return this, but i cant get my personal info off of it and cant do a factory reset.

If you can connect via adb, you can see if "adb shell wipe data" will do the trick.

I went a got my raincheck too... actually had the Kmart I gone to actually had one I would've just gone to the next as I preferred the raincheck to give me time to see more hands on... So, thanks to all of you guinea pigs so to speak...

A lot of this can be fixed. The no Back/menu icon, orientation icon, vol? icon can all be added in a new build.they have already promised a fix to the market and internal storage size issues.It's not a bad device just released too soon and with wrong info given.

[lawman]

Have I mentioned how familiar this all seems?

 

[thcrw739]

Can anyone tell me what the E & the R icon with the bars means?

 

[mogrith]

R is for Cell strength and E I think is 3g status. phone stuff not removed.

Thanks Mog

I dont know how they plan to support updates, if you get to the recovery menu, you cant navigate it. try it out with the power off press home and power on for a few seconds, eventually you will get an android with a triangle, press home and there you are at a useless recovery menu
