I have never been the greatest fan of this little mp3 player, from the moment I got it. It looks quite nice with its black glossy finish and was cheaper than the iPods, ok the quality is great sound picture etc, and I only wanted it to play music on whilst going too and from college. Simple! It seemed perfect. For the first month or so it seemed to be able to cope with this pretty well until the main button kept getting stuck, up until the point I could no longer change the song or return to the menu. Luckily I managed to get this sorted but the problem kept happening, by this time the guarantee was up, I carried on using it with some difficulty until about 9 months after buying it the screen started to break up and I could no longer see what I was playing and eventually the screen went completely white, (however, I will say the music still played.)
Overall I'd say spend that bit of extra money and go for the iPod, not the best and I wouldn't recommend it.
