Got an Illumina XL today as well. Three questions/observations:

1. I notice quite a bit of white bleeding along the left and the bottom border. Is mine the only one showing this or is this considered to be normal? And at the top, on an empty page, 7 or 8 small whitish clouds, of the size of a child's fingernail, can be seen...

2. In some apps (such pocket beta) the bottom status bar does not go away. Is there a setting to remove it? (Edit: found a setting to suppress the statusbar)

3. When clicking on the icon for the browser, I get a page with an arrow at the top left saying "URL", and two links, one to google.com and one to app updates. The text on this page (and on most others I visit on the web) is so faint that I can barely read it. It appears as if it was behind a veil because the text and the icons are visible much better for a fraction of a second while the page is being built. Is it possible to get the dark text permanently which flashes only briefly?

Thanks.
