Oh and all of Astak's products have replacable batteries correct? This is mega important to me living in Australia. I don't want to have to send it back to the company to get a new battery.
Dear Laura:

Look at it this way, please. We lost a hell of a lot of money with the paint problem but stood by our customers without fail. Now, the third shipment is arriving next Friday. I would certainly HOPE that we are smart enough to NOT send out any more that have a paint wrinkling problem. I am assured by the Product Manager that the paint problem is past and all colors are now safe and permanent.

He works with the factory every night and he is positive.

Yes, the biggest feature, and the least mentioned by reviewers, is that the entire Astak line has the user-replaceable rechargeable battery. I will NEVER understand WHY reviewers do not see how valuable this is. Who wants to be without their device 4-6 weeks plus pay $80 to have the factory replace the battery, plus pay the freight. This feature does NOT get enough recognition.
