thanks bro.

btw, do you have any video converters to recommend that is optimised for watching on XS? Media Go is not able to read and convert video files with .rmvb format.

3 different colors will end up weird

I'm weird to the general populace, so it'd suit me just fine

RGB, here I come!

Or maybe I'll pair Pink Purple Yellow with my black, and create a time paradox that will end the world XD

just curious, why u need wide viewing angle?

isn't narrower view angle provide better privacy?

Yes it has better privacy but I usually place my phone away from me, so a wide angle provide a better viewing for me. Maybe I too use to the iPhone haha.

why not just copy over to phone and play direct? moboplayer can play rmvb files.

Clearer Image of my White XS with Pink Transparent Strip in the Dark

Very nice. I like how the pink light sort of stays within the strip more than the blue. Only thing is I'd personally be quite insecure with having pink anything on my phone.

Normal usage is fine when holding in hand. But when watching videos lim peh like to put it down n tilt it at an angle then got abit of problem liao cus cannot see clearly. But biggest issue is still the USB flap, really cui dunno which genius design de, so hard to open n close + the plastic so thin really scare break

The viewing angle issue can be solved easily. And yes, the usb flap. Well, i already prepare for the worse liao.

the quality will be the same as playing on a computer. reencoding will degrade the video quality further.

Same. I think you need to call them to cancel it if you don't want. Not sure haven't called them yet. A bit busy with school work these few days.

EDIT: If I'm reading this right, the agreement says REUTERS Asia and REUTERS World is $2 each per month. Sneaky ppl always like to smoke things into the agreement.
