okay just got back from staples and i am not completely happy with this device but i am DONE! this one looks almost exact to the first replacement i received with the pink and green hues but i am realizing i will not be getting a 'perfect' device.
one thing that scared me though is when i went to menu to turn off recommended content, the setting drop-down menu appeared on the opposite side of the screen
i am hoping that was just a one-time fluke but i guess a reboot should fix that if it happens again
it is an 'older' batch though. it's a 603 with no white specks
