i bought a zen creative zen sleek photo 20gb from Argos (note this one is not photo) anyway only difference is the photo functionality and colour. i got a for a good price an offer which i think is still on.

Yep it is here

http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10001&catalogId=4501&langId=-1&searchTerms=zen+sleek&go.x=0&go.y=0

£109.00 (and yes this one is PHOTO WITH COLOUR)

anyway great player good nice slim size with a stainless steel finish. has incredible sound quality and a massive storage. has voice recorder which lasts for long. radio can save up to 30 radio stations i think forgot. comes with a pouch which is good as other players dont come with one i.e ipods. pouch dose tend to catch alot of dust though and is baggy for the player its self. can charge the player using a AC adapter, but to this you have to first insert the pc cable which can tend to get messy. easier just to charge using PC. Battery life is amazing up to 17 hours :))

downside is the ABSOLUTE RUBBISH software that comes with. its horrible very user un friendly. i just have to use windows media player to sync all my music on so much easier as all my music is already sorted in the library. also the headphones creative supply with it. GARBAGE!!!!!! chuck away ASAP and buy new ones. another problem i have started to come across is the dust that is starting to build up under the screen. its stuck and u cant get out as everything is glued together. i have big dots on my screen now VERY FUSTRATING.

All in all even with the downsides i think its a good buy. much cheaper than th ipods and holds 10 times more.

oh yh if u want to jog and listen to music DO NOT BUY as it is a hard drive and you will find it packing up sooner thank u intended.
