I just bought MPIO FL300 mp3 player. Guess what. There were no necklace string.

MPIO customer service says I have to buy one from their onlineshop.

So, I checked my Korean friend, who bought FL300 from Korea.

LOL. He got one for free. His necklace string was inside the box.



Hmm...

Korean gets one for free, and North America ppl have to buy one for $25USD.

Such a greedy company...

Hmm.. possibly different packages for different countries? Nah, they don't do that.

Cellphones released in Asia but not here? Unheard of.

Player is really great

Small size, good sound quality (as well as Ipod).

REally great, except that stupid necklace string

So return it to Best Buy. If you don't get more utility from it than the dollar amount you paid for it, there's no reason to keep it

BTW, Why is the company greedy?

I found interesting cnet review....

"it could even be mistaken for jewelry. Indeed, MPIO suggests wearing the player like a pendant, though our review sample came with an armband instead of a necklace string--the player is sold with different accessories in different countries. If you prefer the necklace approach, you can thread a string through the hole in the included, clear-plastic case, which is virtually invisible."

so, Northamerica MPIO gives free Armband instead of necklace string.

but,,, Necklace string is way better than armband...

I went to Bestbuy today and talked with manager there.
He checked few stuff and he said bestbuy gives free-necklace earphones if you ask them
