If you did trade one in. How would go about cleaning the back from the oil stains from holding it?

If it "looks new" there wouldn't be any oil stains.

I had a few caused by the week of use before getting a case. Wiping it slowly with a microfiber cloth removed them.

Something tells me they aren't going to be REAL picky. If they know you are going to buy something else, I don't think they will squabble over giving you $75 for the trade if it looks pretty good.

And I think $75 is real fair. I don't think I could get that for my original 7" Galaxy Tab which costed more.

Nope, they're not picky at all. I just returned from Best Buy after trading in the original to get a 16GB KFHD.

I like that the micro USB port is on the "side"... gives me hope that there will be a charging/sync doc that will put the device in landscape mode.

edit:
Another like: sideloaded videos are recognized by the "Personal videos" app even though they don't show up in the "Videos" tab.
The typical babystep that I've come to expect from an ecosystem-centric device. (not unique to Amazon)

BestBuy.com -> Services -> Trade-in Center

Keep in mind that not all devices that are accepted at their online trade-in center are accepted at their brick-n-mortar stores. Check with your local BB to make sure that they accept the device that you want to trade in.

I didn't think they would be picky but you had a unit in excellent condition. Mine is very very good if not excellent so I don't see a problem.

I'll probably do it tommorrow. I have a BB RZ coupon and my GF offered me one of hers (I think I could use it as well) so all the better.

Please let me know if you get Flash to work and an alternate launcher as well if both are something you planned on trying for yours. One might need an alternate browser for Flash. Thanks in advance!
