Did you really took the first one using flash + night mode and got that BLACK picture? It kinda seems impossible, since it should be lighted a lot more!
Also... maybe you are messing up... you call "the first picture", but looking at the time stamps shows that the first picture tooked was the one you said was took with the MXE... wtf? :? |

well, i actually took the first photo with the mxe-60 flash on, then later took the second photo with the built in flash on plus night mode, as you have seen in the time stamp. |

Another question that cross my mind...
How does the flash come off? I mean... like in digicams where there is a "previous" burst of lights at less intensity, or it only comes out once, at full?
Thanks

Only once, at full.
When you press the camera button and the phone starts autofocusing, phone LED turns on to assist the auto-focus function. If you press the button fully (taking the shot), the phone LED turns off and MXE-60 lights up for a split second.

Wow... got it and, the first impression? Was from it being in the floor since I dropped it when opening! 
Seriously... should I worry? It works OK; it's not dented, I dropped it from half meter aprox. into a wooden floor (not concrete luckily!) what do you say?
Please say that I shouldn't worry!

So you managed to buy one. Excellent ! 
There's not much to really go wrong in there so providing the flash is working then no problem don't worry mate

In my mind... I will always remember that "it fell"; it's not flawless anymore...
What can I do? Please convince me...

Are you sure it's Titanium? It kinda looks like plastic...
Really, could it be damaged? Maybe something 'loose up' inside? Or the light? Didn't the fell 'hurt' it?
I don't know... please help me.

Go try it out.
Test it in a completely or very dark room and see if the brightest light it can create is bright enough to light the object your trying to get a picture of. |

no seriously i agree with kristian...
go ahead and try it out... weigh things... use it often... then evaluate your results...
it the pix still looks gud its kewl... if you dont hear any crackling sound when you shake it... then nothings loose..
does the warranty covers that? well you bought it on ebay right?
oh well hoping for the best man! youll see the difference in the following days when the wear and tear beats your product up plus the fall.
