Hm, I have a question or two.
I just received the purple manual 650 X2 and a blue manual 900 X2. The purple one seems to be a happy little guy, but the blue one to me... I'm not so sure. He appears unfinished. I can smell a really strong chemical smell with the blue X2 (I've name it Stinky), like a not so pleasant epoxy/glue smell, and the end cap looks like it was just machined and has heat or stress marks inside. The threads are all gray under the end cap, like there was a build up of gunk of some kind - or, again, it wasn't cleaned up and polished after machining. The button seems to work, though it takes me a couple of tries to turn off/on with the 5-click. Seems to be charging ok (it is hooked up to charge with the wall adapter 1.5amp now). So, this blue X2 maybe just didn't go through the finishing "make it pretty" process and it is ok?
Oh, and love the longer charging cords, by the way.
