I have had my player since christmas. I decided to get a new player after i lost my old creative 4GB muvo 2 mp3 player. I'm very happy with creative players and particulaly with creative. My girlfriends player broke and when sent back to creative they sent a replacement without and problems.
This player in particular is beautiful, i have the black version, and i love the blue glow that pulses when charging. The radio and removable disk features are great and for users of outlook the tasks / calender and contacts sync could be particualy useful. The software supplied is fantastic and makes playlists and transfering music quick and easy. Chargable through mains or usb makes it truly universal, and easy to take traveling. 5GB is more then enough for the average user, easily holding around 1000 songs at 128bps. On the downside my headphones broke so i needed to buy another pair. (Probably a once off.) and the battery life has been disappointing, probably more 5/6 hours. The stand, belt clip, and pouch are a nice feature. I've ordered the "remote" wired control from america which should hugely increase its practicality.
All in all i'm extremely happy with it. Having played with a few ipods this beats them hands down. Journalists who are given free ipods will obviosly praise them! Don't be a sheep, have a pc? Buy a creative!
(Question from comment: £159.99 from Amazon. Cheaper i think with a little research!)
