That is sad to hear. If similar reviews come out like that I am holding on to my 818. I was looking forward to more storage. Who knows, maybe the non bluetooth model will be different.

I've pre-ordered the A729 an am eagerly waiting for the delivery.

However, I can't find any information regarding Audible compatibility. Seems like I need to keep the Shuffle for audio books.

I'm thinking about gettin one of the 16gb....What use do I have in the bluethooth feature except wireless headphones?
Is the 729 "upgraded" headphones any good?
