So I got my new 650 today, and connected it via the supplied USB to my PC a few hours ago (the store didn't have any power supplies). Ever since then I have been struggling to get the device to work: screen keeps freezing, it is very slow to respond, I have to keep resetting it etc etc. Finally it seems to be getting better. I think my problems may have been down to two things:

1. Possibly there was a bit of damp inside (the manual warns about this causing the symptoms I saw).

2. It was not sufficiently charged (despite the little red light going out).

I'm going to leave it charging overnight and we'll see in the morning.

I thought I would post this in case anyone else has similar problems. I was all set to return it to the store tomorrow. Probably won't now.
