Not just me then, with what I thought was a successful reservation and then getting a pointless OOS email, very annoying...just had a look and there's a good chance of getting one of these on ebay for aroung this price though...

the ones on ebay are probably the ones, people like me got free when they replaced our old faulty 1st gen nano's they didnt come with boxes i still use mine so wont be ebaying it

I was delighted but then found out it was OOS in Leeds and all surrounding areas - rubbish Argos!!!!!

They actually emailed me to say they were back in stock, I tried to reorder only to be told they had no stock anywhere.

Bear in mind that the upgradeable £20 Clip+ has better sound.

No, it doesn't.

The Clip+ is discontinued anyway.

Well i'm looking for a new mp3 player as mine is now dead after 2years, nothing fancy, just a 4gb i paid under £20 for, whilst i like the idea of a ipod nano i dont like the idea of owning a apple product, as for the CLIP+ being discontinued, i think you'll find thats the CLIP thats discontinued as the clip+ has replaced it. I dont want one of them either, due to the problems on their forum about connecting to a pc and the 5 workaround at trying to get the computer to see it.
And at £49 for 8gb, seems a bit steep considering the cost of flashmemory at the moment. 16gb for £8.98 at novatech, adding in the cost of a battery compartment and a little PCB + lcd screen, still cant see why these would be more than a little over £20
what i'm looking for is a mp3 player with a standard USB connection, with a higher storage than my 4gb non working mp3 player, preferably not through ebay and under £20.

The Clip+ has been discontinued and the Clip Zip has replaced it...similar players and not much of an upgrade although the Zip has a small colour screen.

If you don't wand to spend much then I'd advise getting a Sansa - otherwise the Nano really was a steal at £50. Worth it just for its Nike+ functions and pausable radio, I'd say.

found a mp3 player, waiting from supplier to tell me how long the battery should last before i buy.

http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=112118 the mp3 player.

then i have a choice of which memory card to put in

http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/prod...ucts_id=112647 16gb microsdhc to be used in
http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/prod...ucts_id=106392 both 16gb

of course looking through ebay, i found a 8gb mp3player for £17
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300577548571?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649
uses a single AAA battery should last around 8-9hrs on a 900mAh uniross rechargable, similar to the 1gb mp3 player i had about 5 years ago. benefit is no usb lead required.

this might be a stupid question but as it is back up to full price what happens with reservations - I managed to reserve one at the Darlington store til the end of today, no longer need it and was going to offer it on here but will it still go through at the lower price?

Anyway, if there's someone in the Darlington area who hasn't managed to get one and wants to give this a try PM me and I'll give you the code.


Think I've just answered my own question - just checked Argos T&C and looks like for reserved items you pay the price the item is in store on the day you collect. Not fair for anyone who did manage to get a valid reservation

go with your reservation code, take it to CS tell them u reserved it at £49.99 and they should honour it, they did mine about half an hour ago :T
