The kindle white paper screen only consumes power when it is changing the content on the screen. That why there isn't a power off button, cos it doesn't not consume additional power to maintain the content on the screen.

That's what I thought too.

I actually wanted to buy a kindle during the thanks giving sales but the content that I want to read readily is not from Amazon, but PDFs from work or other sources and I don't know if kindle can render any other pdf properly.

Sort of like a text only browser trying to render a modern html page.

I also looking at HTC One but the QC for the first batch seem a bit off. Maybe wait for the production to stablise first. If your S2 got warranty, dry it up and can still send in to Samsung for repair. Samsung is not as anal as Apple.

my gf just got one set from tampines singtel. the manufacturing date was dated 14/4/13
the gap issue was not very serious, which we found on some sets that it was so bad that when you go and press it, the gap can 'close'. the one she got was perfectly fine.
just a hairline but it was still sealed.

read some thread that htc one have disregard the 'zero' gap advertisement. and method that it is actually referring to the back cover.

going down to adix today to get my set. hopefully no gap issues

Even though not the Broadcom BCM46XXX as featured in the recent Galaxy S4 or HTC 1, BCM2XXXX mobile phone couldn't be that bad too...

Exactly 21days ago, bought an INDIAN Brand phone, fitted with BCM21654G chipset. Daily usage with average 4hrs FM radio reception, 10mins on in and out calls, average of 4hrs web surfing thru 2G connection, single SIM network connection... can last for 2 full days with single full charge on 1800mah battery!


ANTUTU score- without network connection, without activation of other programs, scores 3.6++k points.


Other hardware infos...



The only 2 issues i have dis-satisfaction on the phone are,
1。Even though the Camera Module 5mpx capturing capability，without AutoFocus, the image captured will still not be comparable to my older BlackBerry STORM2 with 2mpx and AF capability...
2。Limited size of the RAM which is pathetically @ 512mb. Some high frame speed games cannot work. And due to the limited ram, screen flow smoothness will often be affected.

Worth it or not...
@ SGD$160 with 1yr warranty, 4.5inch capacitive screen，1800mah removable battery，Single core 1Ghz CPU，latest Android4.0 O.S，dual sim standby, i guess should be acceptable... hor?

[funky_banana]

honestly the ram is a bit.... low
but i guess you cannot hiam at that kind of price?

[Ed.YEO]

yeah... realli cannot dig too much on the short comings.
During these 20days, i found that i use this much more than my BB9860 as well as my STORM2, mostly on FM reception as well as web browsing. Photographing still dependent on the BBs.

[Evirobie]

Get from where? Maybe can get one for my dad...

[Ed.YEO]

Before getting this model, i had eyed upon another one from the same INDIAN Company, the A21 with a little better specs with dual core CPU that clocks @ 1.2Ghz as well as 5mpx camera with AF and 1800mah batt and 4.5inch capacitive screen, even though the ram size remains that same @ 512mb... which is just $20 more away...


But after reading numbers of user reports from various websites, that includes GSMarena... there seems to be a lot of hardware to O.S compatibility problem encountered by a lot of users. ...eventually go for A12...

[Ed.YEO]

Get from where? Maybe can get one for my dad...

Little india a lot of shops got sell... but note, most of them do not have warranty as Mustafa offers. Which is honored by a local importer. The A12, to date, i can't find is it an OEM product from other china makes in the market, hence, getting a protective case could be a problem. I guess this is the only make in the mobile world to come out with the Broadcom chipset. SAMSUNG and HTC follows recently...

Mustafa sells @ $160 with 1yr warranty.
Standard sales package comes with a Micro-USB cable, a earpiece(acceptable audio quality), a 1800mah battery, a EU/US 2 pin charger with USB connection. Phone by default comes with multi-language menu, but without chinese txt input. Camera is a crap, so forget about it if your father is comfortable without using the camera.

Upon unboxing, connect to either wifi or thru GPRS to download the 3 essential programs for use with old folks.
1. Google pinyin input IME keyboard
2. Adobe flash 11
3. MXplayer for .flv media playback(according to several reports, this device can play HD movies @ 720p, however most other users experienced visual hangups due the limited RAM size...)
