Advantages: wifi, great screen, internet browser, media streamer Disadvantages: hidden costs for plug ins
I ordered my Archos 605 80gb wifi from curry's digital and went to collect in store. After the first charge which takes forever using the supplied usb connector (48 hours for the charge light to flash fully charged) I was ready to start using my player.
One of the first things i discovered is that to get maximum usefulness out of the 605 you will need to hand over more of your hard earn cash. these include cinema plug ins, web browser around 20 ... ...it will fit. The provided archos case is a little lame but helps protect the screen from scratches and provides storage for a single stylus.
Overall I am pleased with my purchase, the archos is ideal for me as a personal media player, Media station for streaming onto my Tv and as portable Internet browser. Though as i said at the beginning the second two of those function's have cost me in addition to my purchase price. ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Archos 605 WIFI 80GB
