I want to test youtube videos and some other features, but at this time every time I launch the browser and go anywhere the system slows to a crawl and freezes up (I eventually have to reset the device).
Hi Coldsun,

I just saw your message. I have been busy getting ready for Thanksgiving. It only gets worse as the day draws near.

Here's what I don't like:

Lack of Screen rotation
Browsing the Internet. It freezes a lot. Also the scroll bar on the right seems to work in the opposite direction.
The onscreen keyboard. It keeps popping up when I don't need it and when I do need it, it disappears.
Lack of button. I am surprised about that one. But there are times when I wish I ahd buttons since when browsing the net can be cumbersome. Either the scroll wheel goes too fast or doesn't move at all.

I will try to look at youtube videos and get back to you on that. As fasr as the battery, it took forever before I saw a total green light. I haven't noticed fast battery drain, but then again I haven't pushed the device. I wil try again today and see.

Ellen
