Only black in stock when I last checked.

Not bad price, but color choice sucks.

 

[yougotdeals]

At least the black is in stock. Better then only the pink or lime green being the only one left.

 

[kaizersose]

all colors back in stock. just ordered silver. good price from a reputable retailer. all other stores i had check were out of stock, even shady ones. my receive date was even before christmas.

 

[Bijorn]

All out of stock now (1 1/2 hours later). That was quick.

 

[JafCo]

wow. quick.

 

[Odeen]

Silver seems in stock. I'm going to print that out and pricematch Fry's.

On the second thought.. Why is the Zen Micro (5gb, FM) better than a Muvo2 FM (5gb, FM) that's $220 - $20 MIR from Cambridge Soundworks?

Well...because it looks pretty damn ugly. IMHO. Also, I like black the best. Besides iRiver who has a cool looking black mp3 player? Either way, I am getting mine i a few days and I will post some pics

Edit: sorry, I lied. the muvo is pretty good looking...the form factor just doens't do it for me.

I just got a Muvo2 4GB for $125 AR and have to say I'm really happy with it. FM would have been nice though I hear it isn't so great sounding on the smaller flash based Muvos

 

[stephsully]

Hey gonzo where'd you get the muvo2 for 125? that's a great price for it. I've been looking for an MP3 player that's small and large capacity and I think that it fits the bill.

Thanks

Just be sure to pay the $20 extra for a 1-year replacement warranty -- the 90-day warranty is not very safe, especially on the microdrive units. Every brand and model I looked at on Amazon has a number of people saying the drive died after 4-6 months.

These little guys are tempting, but I'm probably going to get the $180 Zen Xtra 30 GB instead -- 300 of my CDs means a lot less swapping in and out of tracks.

Buy.com w/$15 coupon and $50 rebate

 

[Cherub]

It's a shame that this drive never seems to be in stock from Creative, as it is only about $1 more from Creative and it's labeled a "limited edition" that comes with an extra battery.

 

[ApacheChief]

F!

I just bought this for 255 on Amazon.com

 

[DragonReborn]

ordered it from ecost a week ago and they are "partially backordered" whatever that means. DUnno when I'll get it...pretty annoying.

I was lucky enough to get one from Newegg. Their price was ok, but I mainly bought it from them just in case I needed customer service. Also bought the extended warranty, given the track record of mp3 players in general. The player is built very well and I'm very happy with it.

 

[DaveSimmons]

I did order the Zen Xtra 30GB from buy.com instead -- $230 after adding a 2-year warranty, but before $20 rebate from Creative and a $30 gift cert rebate from buy (in 4-6 weeks [ for spending $200 ] ).

$180 for 30 GB just sounded better than $360 for a 20 GB iPod with AppleCare warranty extension.

 

[DragonReborn]

When did you order your micro from newegg and in what color? Just curious. =)

I'm glad you like it thus far. Can't wait to start playing with mine...that didn't sound good.

 

[jpsmoney]

which b&m stores actually let you play with this thing? my local best buy didn't have it, and i haven't seen it at walmart. any opinions on the touchpad scroller?

 

[Brian M]

Jpsmoney I used this MP3 player at CompUSA and was very impressed with it.

 

[ABErickson]

Got mine from Newegg on Wednesday (12/15). Color is silver. It looks good but I wouldn't mind seeing the other colors in person.

 

[tiblot]

Got a silver as well. Kickass mp3/fm unit.

Friend got an Orange, looks neat

 

[aolsuxs]

Hmm where is the best deal to get this thing? I am so far looking at NewEgg or Amazon and both are roughly same price with shipping and taxes.

 

[DragonReborn]

I dunno...but I cancelled my back ordered zen and ordered the awesome iriver h10. Played with it and CES and it's AWESOME.

touch scroll isnt as bad as people say, youll get used to it in a day, and never want anything different.
