Anyone get their 149/169 Ebay EE from the weekend yet?

I'm still waiting on Fedex, and I have to leave in an hour and a half. Hopefully I don't miss him again. I might just have to sign the paper for him to just leave it.

Urgh!

Anyone get theirs yet? How is it? New? Box included? Inquiring minds want to know!

Ok, got it. It says Demo on the box so hardly new. Someone even left a nice message on the eink screen that Me so darko was here.. hello. :P

Its running Badger, what are the steps to get it to 2.2? Also there is no silver entourage symbol on it. I thought my other one had it on the outside. I know my PE does..

No scratches except beside the serial number, it got quite a few scratches in that area but no where else. Still for 149, I can live with a few scratches by the serial number.

I hope you kept your first one until you checked this one out.

For a start you have one of the very early models and if it has been used for demonstration then it will have a shortened battery life so you should start looking for a replacement battery. It may, or may not, be one of the demo models from the factory to check that it did what Entourage specified.

To get it up to Ermine you will need to first install the golden update for the EE and check everything is working then update to Ermine from that.

My Black one arrived this evening via FedEx and is presently charging. It has small scratches on the outside on one side, the protective plastic had been reapplied, and it is showing a book that is not standard entourage install on the eink screen; therefore is not new...and the battery is completely discharged.

Arrived in original box inside a shipping box included; Quick start guide, power supply and USB cable. Is an "edge 2.0" per the spine sticker. No outside logo, though did the EE have an outside logo? My Red EE has had several clear backed window type stickers from the beginning to now have been covered with a DecalGirl skin. <Yeah, sacrilegious I know >

Urgh I checked it out, got everything updated, seemed to be working fine so I shipped the other back only to find this has the browser crashing...

I may have to tell the company to send it back at my dime lol.. I'm glad I have a 7 day return because this is going back if I can't use the browser. Every time I load this forum and click to read a topic it crashes..

Still this is not new, the ebay listing stated it was new..

Any tips to try? The one I sent back didn't have a single browser crash it just wouldn't wake from hibernate.

Ivan, your scaring me about the battery. Hmm.. send it back and beg the company to send the other one back to me lol..

I've been playing with it. So far its mainly this forum that crashes. I've been able to load quite a few other websites for testing.

youtube isn't working. I think it was on the other one.. Dang it I shouldn't been so quick to ship it back lol.. Although I can live with youtube not working but the browser would drive me nuts.

Synergi, did you get it updated yet? Mine came as Badger also, but I was able to upgrade all the way to Ermine by using the Update function. It should take you to Dingo, at least.

For the browser crash the only thing that has worked for me so far is disabling the javascript (in browser settings). Sorry your new EE isn't.

Thanks Filark, I did get it updated to Dingo, then manual up to Ermine. I'll try disabling Javascript. I need the native browser most so I can send sites I'm researching to the eink side.

I wouldn't mind getting a used one but don't say its new when its not. Like I said, someone left a message on the eink side lol.. and there was a 300 page book on it.. defiantly not new. At least do a factory reset, shesh!

Still if I can get the crashing to a minimal I'll keep it at that price..I'm only using it for research, studying, etc.. I can use my other devices for everything else..

Does youtube app work for you.. Or tube app as its named lol.

Hmm, that's really not good business practice to advertise them as new when they're not, hope you didn't leave positive feedback yet.

I didn't, I thought of asking for a exchange but everyone seems to be getting this older demo model. I need to think resell one day, keeping one with a crashing browser out the box his debatable for me. I could always go back to 1.6 but then I'll lose out on a lot of Apps.. I'll have to decide if I actually need them beyond my research and note taking.

I'm anticipating the same predicament and here's what I've gathered so far - aside from a working browser to access all your online research sources, something like ezPDF for your offline (digital) sources, the ability to send webpages to e-ink, and the whole proprietary e-ink/journal/reader side (no custom software being used for it just the stock wacom/entourage setup) you shouldn't really need much, if anything else unless you want a notes app for the tablet side too, which I'm sure you can find.

Before you leave negative feedback I'd write to the guy (through ebay). He seemed perfectly reasonable to me. Of course, the EE he sold me actually was brand new. But if you feel wronged, give the seller a chance to make good.

Just my 2 cents.

I do use the tablet side for marking pdf's. They don't always show up that great on the ink side, and the newest version of Ezpdf finally allows you to change the color of your ink. Yay! Been waiting on that feature..

Sadly, Ezpdf only works under 2.1 or higher..

The first thing that comes to mind: Act in haste, repent at leisure

Gunner, the later versions of the EE all come with the logo on them. The 'no logo' ones appear to be very early models - either engineering samples or were farmed out to places to try and drum up sales.

Thanks for that Ivan, I thought the one I sent back had a logo. I may see if the company will send it back to me.. I'm sure they'd rather then refund me. Can't hurt to try and get a discount for it on the hibernation issues lol..

Urgh, I really hate I jumped in on this.. I don't want a early production model which is what I'm starting to feel this is..

I'm changing my mind here faster then a politician changes positions.

So I sent both sellers an email. I asked him if he had a none production model with the logo on it, in new condition, if not I'd like a refund. I asked the other seller if they would confirm the hibernate issue and consider a discount, but to let me know before they refund me or put back up for sale.

I might have to pull me PE out to sustain me until this mess is all resolve lol..

Although, this model so far hasn't had the hibernate issue. I still think I rather have that issue then the crashing browser..
