Years ago, changed the internal SDHC to 8 GB. About a year ago, replaced the battery pack with a new one sent from Australia by Terry Gillett; thx Terry. Otherwise all original. Good reliable little machine; on a par with the VW Beetle. > The test should be done at an ambient temperature of 21°C to avoid > false positives. The test was done in the evening, temperature 20-25 C.

Not clear whether the proposed modularity of the Infinity was implemented in production. Also not clear whether the case is elastic polymer or hard polymer. Thx, ...
