    So I finally received my new SZ680 this evening (after FedEx refused to leave it without a signature and me driving an hour out of my way to pick it up...) and everything is looking good so far...

    P1 delayed my shipment because they said my screen displayed the yellow bars beyond what was acceptable, but on the new screen the bars are hardly noticeable, and I tend to be OCD when it comes to these kind of things too.

    One problem that I'm having, along with other people on NBR, is the brightness function not working after sleep/hibernate/and even shutdown for me. I also have the "keyboard skipping" problem as well. It is also losing the resolution setting after I restart, so I have to manually reset it after startup everytime so far...I'm sure there are some fixes to some of my problems so if you know what I need to do let me know, I'd appreciate it.

    I will finish my review later tomorrow afternoon and post it with pics for everyone. Let me know what you think.

    Can't wait to read your review mate! I've had my eyes on that pretty machine for a while now :)

    To bad about the settings issues, could they be Vista related you think? I've heard about similar problems from some FZ owners.
