Hi Guys
Thanks BoldlyDubious and Marcor for your reviews.

I was thinking to order one of the dr900 from that Italian site somebody posted in this thread, as I've just asked Asus pre-sales department and they say they will launch the dr900 on QT2 in UK under £279..

I suppose they might be expecting for a better firmware..

Two problems I am seeing after reading your reviews:

1-Speed: I am going to read computing books, and after watching videos of its page flip, I am really worried. It is really slow and it could be irritating..
How about the scrolling? can you scroll down a page quickly?
2- Waiting for an improvement on its firmware: As an terrible dissapointed owner of an Asus P320 phone, I waited for an update of its firmware that never comes (spanish version). I reckon as the phone never had success they simply forgot it and look towards another gadgets. The phone is rubbish due to its slow processor... are we facing a similar case with this dr900?

Honestly, after releasing this product and reading many reviews, I think Amazon Kindle DX is much better.. but its price is too high.

Maybe it's time to wait for its release in UK and/or an update of its firmware.

By the way, can you set the default language as English on the Italian version?

Thanks
