Guest Davidoff59 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 This is a worthy upgrade to the blade. Screen is very very good and it's fast. See the G300 thread for ebay unlocks that work. They were at 7.48 and have gone up to about 8 pound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
