@Capt'n'Corrupt:

> What are the two circles beside the PDMI connector?!
I don't know. For sure, they can't be pressed. And they are not magnets. There are also two slots on their sides, maybe to connect a docking station?


> 1) What are your general out-of-the-box impressions?

The box is quite unimpressive, and reminds me of cheap mp3 players. Nothing like the elegant black box of the n900. Sports a micro usb charger and a usb-to-30 pin connector cable, and a wired headset. And a quick starting guide.
Putting the sim card and the microsd was easy. The screen is bright but the auto brightness is annoying, so much that I excluded it and set it as fixed.

> 2) Do you see this being something that you use frequently or something that you will get bored of?

This is an interesting question, because I was just thinking I would be bored of it after some time. It's... too standard, too perfect, seems something that doesn't want to be hacked. But perhaps it's me - I have no experience in android hacking and tweaking, and maybe the thing is less impermeable than it seems.

> 3) What are your intended uses?

It's for wife, not the geek sort of. She needs some light web browsing, email, our photos and videos and the occasional youtube browsing in a readable but not too big device, that's both fashionable and quick to operate. For that, the thing seems perfect. She loves it already.
