I’ve been using the 7100 for 3 weeks and have been very pleased with the functionality to date. Mine is version 6.5, build 77.
My main complaint HAD been short battery life, similar to many comments I had seen here. Upon calling Tech Support , I found out that I’d been unknowingly putting the the unit in standby mode rather than shutting it off. Turns out that one must press the power button for 10-15 seconds to shut off. Anything short of that blacks the screen but you are only in standby. When powering back on, the power button must be held for six seconds. Quirky, but at least now I understand it. I was needlessly charging the unit every day or two because in the first 10 days I had never completely shut it off!
