My red one has been peeling but only the top, rubberized, layer was coming off so I was just going to live with it. Unfortunately, the underlayer of paint is now beginning to come off as well.
The cheap-looking white plastic beneath is now showing through in one place and I'm sure that the paint job is only going to continue to deteriorate. I'd decided that I'd have to bite the bullet and request an exchange but in light of the ongoing remarks about even the replacement colours (possibly) peeling plus the new comment about the black starting to peel...
:
Have any Canadians sent their unit back for exchange? Is Astak filling out the paperwork properly so that I won't get charged (again) by customs when the replacement unit is sent?
For the most part, I love my little Pocket Pro and I hate the thought of giving it up, even just for the time that it will take for an exchange.
But... between the ugly, peeling paint and the unacceptable battery life when the keyboard lock is used, I'm afraid that I'm starting to experience some pretty serious buyer's regret. Battery life seems to be fine if it's turned off between uses but I don't consider that an acceptable alternative since (1) it takes considerably longer to boot than to unlock and (2) it goes back to the main menu every bloody time that it's turned off. Besides, my 6" Bebook had great battery life when using the keyboard lock; there's no good reason that the Pocket Pro shouldn't work fine that way as well.
