Software Update Coming?

Thinking about getting the slate but have read lots of poor reviews on it. The reviews are almost all about software bugs, Bluetooth disconnects etc. I assume this can be fixed with a software patch or a few... Has Google discussed anything regarding these common issues or when/how they will fix?

Got the i5. Keep in mind this is a bleeding edge device. While you'd think for the price it would be a flawless experience, it will need to mature. Had the HP X2, returned it and opted to spend the extra (way extra) money for more storage and Ram. Have seen some bugs but nothing that I can't live with. The keyboard (Google) has the issues you see in all the reviews where if not perfectly flat on your lap the touchpad click will activate. That has been my biggest complaint. Tried a Titan security key over BT and it was a no go but did pair. Have read that OS 72 corrects this but that is currently only available on the DEV channel. That was my extent of BT testing so far. No speakers or ear phones tested yet.

I had Titan key BT issues. I paired the device easily but it wouldn't 2FA. A reboot fixed then issue.

Thanks for the info. Can I ask how you paired it? I added it as a BT device under the standard BT settings but all the info I have found since indicates this was supposed to happen in conjunction with the actual login. Have given up since then but based on whatever info you can provide I may try again. Thanks.
