Uh oh, hope that's just a one-off problem. Was thinking of picking one up today after work, but had hoped more people would have posted their experience with it by now.

Posted via RS Mobile | Mine seems snappier as well.
So apparently, they added a TRIM function, which will only activate when it's either 80% battery+, or 30% and charging, AND has been inactive for at least an hour. http://www.examiner.com/article/andr...over-time-woes
