I got mine this morning, but i cant use it till christmas, i had a little fiddle with it though.
got the screen protector on absolutly fine with no visible dust, it was pretty easy actually, i dunno what all the fuss is about with that.
the joystick is perfect, it wasnt too stiff, moved around easily and felt fine on my thumb, im guessing they modified it at GBAX before shipping ?
firmware i noticed on boot was 1.0.1, thats updated right?
it took no more than 10 seconds to boot, seriously, whats all this about 30 seconds? i barely had time to read the text on the boot screen and the menu with all the icons was up!
got 1GB card and usb reader fine, also usb cable, a CD, instruction manual and a christmas card from gp2x.co.uk
when i unpacked the box and seen the gp2x box, i was shocked how small it is, the pictures really dont give you a clue, i expected it to be at least 3x as bigger
the unit itself is awesome, its a work of art, felt nice in my handetc,and also emphasis on the joystick, the joystick was nice.
i went into the memory area and couldnt figure out how to go back to the main menu until i had to put it away, but i cant wait to get it on christmas morning
this will be the first christmas in about 6 years since ive looked forward to something
thanks gbax!
edit: oh yeah, also i noticed no scanlines or anything wrong with the screen, no flickering at all or any of that.
