Other ppl ranting about my player..

From the same CNET review that made me buy this.. other users:

Had high hopes for this product. Excited when i bought it. Dissapointed when it freezed within 15 minutes of opening the box, while listening to its default mp3 selection. Then froze the next day wile transfering files. Today is day 3. "Firmware Problem". Resetting doesnt work. Rebooting doesnt work. WTF?? How can a product be so faulty?? Emailed tech support. Waiting for answer. Taking it back to shop first thing in the morning, prolly getting an Ipod. Hopefully works better. STAY AWAY. NO PRODUCT SHOULD GIVE SO MUCH GRIEF.

Another one

I would not buy this if I were you!
Initially I was very happy with it. It's ability to play WMA and it's great sound EQ made for REALLY good sound. The battery life also lated from Denver CO to San Diego CA without a single recharge. AMAZING!

The downsides, definitely outweigh the upside though. Where to begin. After using this for 6 days the hard drive stopped working and the player wouldn't respond to any commands, not even Creative's so-called "Rescue Mode". A brand new $250 MP3 player ceases to stop functioning after 6 days. RIDICULOUS.
Then I called Creative Support. Got some guy in Singapore who couldn't speak English worth a damn. 3 days later I finally got the problem resolved after about 12 hours on the phone. VERY unprofessional service, with RUDE and IGNORANT techs.
Then I had to send it in. It has been 3 weeks, and NO WORD from Creative AT ALL. I don't even know if I'll ever be getting it back.
The player is also HUGE and feels like a cinder block in the pocket.
It's also UGLY and the control interface and touch pad are absolutely HORRIBLE>

Stick with Rio or Apple. This product S UCKS!

Dear GOD !! Why me.. WHY ME? Just because I dont like Apple? Is this the result.... ??
