Good point, it was just clear from the dm5 that it was more accessible with the tts, as they gone a mile furder to include reading the time and date and other menus wich were not totally readable with other models. Hope they will keep going on in that fassion with this new model. On 09/06/2014, Hamit Campos hamitcam...@gmail.com wrote: Okay.

It won't be long before people start to complain. And I wunder if the xt will see an update ever again now that they put all their energy in this thing.

Yes, it does work well, but often when the battery drains, its not easy for everyone to get it running again, as some units just dies on them. You have to reset each time to get it going, and the overall stability is not yet what it should be. A reset is ment for every now and then, you should hardly use it, but with booksense and alike, its better to get to no the different resets and the way they work, as you might need it more often than you think.
