Good info, thanks.
I went to the store and returned it. When they were going to give me a new one, they open it and I knew it had been opened before, it didnt even have the protection screens(the white material that protects the screen when you buy it new), they tried to turn it on and it was dead.This was the last one left. In the end I decided to go ahead and get the one I returned yesterday, since the only problem I had was something I was not sure about the battery. It wouldn't accept a 8GB kingston SD card elite Pro(not sure as to whether it was HCSD or not, that is probably why). I tried with a regular 2GB and it worked. The firmware is 1.1.0.225? I believe. I charged it via USB and I suppose it did not work well, I do not know, because it wouldn't turn back on. I would plug the USB chord, and do nothing, not even the light would come on. So I decided to reset it, and it came back to life. It would charge like for a little bit and tell me it is full... I am going to charge it with the wall charger and we will see what happens. If any problem arises I will just take it back again before the 30 days warranty and get my money back or I will exchange it, this time at a different store in a different town. I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks for your help and info.
