    Hi, got this model a few months back, no complaint very happy with it!
    Nice little machine, does everything you need, Iv got hundreds of music albums stored. Image viewer not so good but very handy!
    Altogether happy i got this one and not the ipod, which i was looking at first!

    If you can get it for under £199 inc del, go for it, otherwise id have another look around as mp3 are dropping in price


    Hope this helps

    hmmm, everyone i know with an ipod has had problems with it
    seems like more of a fashion kit rather than a well made mp3 player.
    I know i wouldnt reccomend it

    I would recommend it, and the only times people had problems with it is when they dropped it and ruined the hard drive inside. Also the ipod looks better, it's more trendy and its cheaper...

    WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR???
