My Brand New C3000 Has Unpainted Spot
« on: March 30, 2005, 11:40:23 pm »
I purchased brand new c3000 yesterday and I found that there is a small

unpainted spot at the edge of the silver color plastic..the spot looks white..

although it is hardly noticable, it gets so annoying once I seen it....

is this normal or defect? anybody bought zaurus like this?

A friend of mine bought an Apple Powerbook and complain abt his stratch (which is less then 1mm thick, hardly noticeable, not unless you view it @ distance closer then 20 cm)

Then he sended it back for exchange, took 3 weeks for shipping, and Apple send him a brand new Powerbook that's exactly the same as his..(the stratch is still here).

My 860 has some spotty paintwork just above the USB port; at first I wondered if it really wasn't brand new after all, but on closer examination it was clear that it had been manufactured like that.

A few weeks later I managed to drop my Z (with scream of horror) onto (luckily) carpeted floor, causing a scuff on the paintwork, so now it's definitely not brand new any more :-(
