so, i guess this is more of a rant than anything... having issues with my pc to phone connection via usb... wanna flash a rom and getting errors when i'm transferring data, yadda yadda yadda, so going to pull sdcard and use my adapter.... could they have made it any more difficult to get the damn card out of the phone... "yeah, let's get those peeps with big fingers and put the card right in the corner of the battery bay... yeah, and make it pop up only a millimeter... ok, 2 millimeters... " / end of rant....

I too have sausage fingers. I have to use tweezers, otherwise I'd never get the thing in or out!
If I were you Rob, now that root is out for GB, I'd get the thing replaced. Of course you run the risk if getting a low hw# because they are starting to ship those out as replacements. Not that these are bad, but there are a few drawbacks of the early versions.
Screen separation, light leakage, the separating usb port. Don't listen to me I'm tarded. :D
