I don't mind them. I actually enjoy the V2 much more than I did the Blu. I'm planning to keep using them at least until my pre-fills run out. After that, it depends on how comfortable I feel taking my E-power around with me. As a professor, I have to lug around books, papers, etc. I like the 808s because they fit easily into a pocket. I do get irritated with the V2 shipping practices though.
