Somebody tell me why I shouldn't get it. Please. Or at least a pro/con of this model.

 

[Meier]

Holy shit That's a bargain.. seriously tempted.

 

[nitewulf]

no reason not to, aside from aesthetics. zens reputedly have the best audio quality.

 

[Doth Togo]

I paid $240.00 for mine including shipping. This price is awesome. I LOVE my Nomad Zen Xtra 30gig. Get it, man. No regrets...

 

[G4life98]

DAMN YOU !!!!!! I am supposed to be saving money...must...resist...urge to buy....*pulls out credit card*

 

[nitewulf]

could someone tell me how big it is?

 

[yoshifumi]

when does that zen touch thing come out? although i'm very tempted to get this now

 

[Doth Togo]

That photo up there makes it look huge.

An exact measurement of it is:


.................................................






















.................................................

That's length and width. Depth is:


.............

800x600 resolution.

 

[Wellington]

Damn that's pretty sexy... It plays MP3s and not some other wacky format right? Can I use it as a portable HD?

 

[God's Hand]

Save $100 and just get an iPod. Not only is it superior in terms of hardware quality, it will get you chicks. Plus the scroll wheel is just too damn cool.

 

[Fresh Prince]

Pros:
-Best sounding DAP (subjective but most agree it's a tie between this and the karma)
-Replaceble Battery(or am I mistaken?)
-Replacable Hardrive (eventually when you want to)

Cons:
-A percentage have faulty headphone jacks, but apparettly(sp?) the fixed this on the newer models.
-Creative Firmware not the best....
-Asthetically meh.....
-MP3,WMA, WAV only
-30 day warranty but I think now they have upgraded it to a 1 year warranty
-Could even be still cheaper when the touch comes out....

That's all I can think of..

That will change depending on what resolution you are running. Are you at 1024x768?

 

[Fusebox]

Cons - is bigger than my iPod.
Pros - sounds WAY better than my iPod.

 

[Jill Sandwich]

Pros: It's not an iPod
Cons: It's not an iPod

 

[Mason]

I got mine for $230, which I thought was a steal. $210 is even better, go for it.

 

[Defensor]

^

 

[Fusebox]

Some comparison pics I took when I owned both:

The iPod is way more pocket-friendly but the Zen kicks its arse in regards to sound quailty.

 

[Eminem]

fuck i'm tempted

 

[Triumph]

I LUUUUURVE my 40 gig Zen. Best purchase I ever made. I'm probably still gonna get an ipod at some point later this year, but hot damn the Zen is good stuff. I'm actually transferring my Richard Prior stand up collection to it as I type.

As far as waiting: I would get it now. But yeah, the price probably will get a little lower.

 

[Mason]

Can I use it as a portable HD?

Yes you can. I used it to transfer all my data from my old PC to my new one and I currently use it as a backup HDD (I have a couple gigs of important data on it just in case something ever happens to my PC).

 

[nitewulf]

this is completely off-topic, but raoul, i remember u posted a topic about this t-shirt you ordered, where can i get that shirt? it was hilarious!

 

[Defensor]

Okay, any software needed or just plug n' play?

[teepo]

the zen touch screen is 269 on amazon and if you order before august 1st, you get a 50 dollar gift certificate...

 

[Fresh Prince]

Only problem with the touch (apart it being an ipod look alike) is that is does not have a replaceable battery.

 

[Great King Bowser]

Whoa, that's a bargain. Only recently got an iRiver, but at that price I'd get that too. Do these guys ship to the UK?

 

[Funky Papa]

-Does Newegg.com ship internationally?

Newegg.com does not currently ship internationally. Presently we only deliver within the United States and Puerto Rico.

F*CK!

 

[Great King Bowser]

F*CK!

Doubled.

 

[dark10x]

Damn, that's actually tempting...

I need an MP3 player soon, and that's a damn good price. I would prefer an iPod, but I'm also looking grabbing a 1080i DVD player and would rather split the cost a bit.

 

[nubbe]

heh... they cost $365 where i am *cry*

 

[Malleymal]

I am taking back my rio Karma to Best buy.... Anyone have any words on the the touch screen ones, also, the new Ipods came out today... I am confused and dont know what to get

 

[Mason]

Okay, any software needed or just plug n' play?

It comes with two pieces of software, a program with some long, dumb name and something called "Nomad Explorer." Don't even bother installing the one with the fancy name; it's useless. Nomad Explorer lets you select either data or music, and then you just copy n paste or drag n drop from window to window like you would with any other folders.
