[A6] Defective voices and other anomalies

[Antti Hakulinen]

Hi folks.
Well, voices seems to be ok.
Yeah i've got my andromeda froze 2 times now in period of 3 days.

What happened a minute ago was that display went mad, it didn't display 
text correctly, it was all mumbojumbo.
Then it left a little blank stripe vertically that didn't display any 
graphics at all making navigation very hard.

I think i'll send this unit to warranty when i'm done playing with it 
enough so i can bear the waiting.
It has 3 years warranty.
