sorry, when you go onto sony.ca look under the mp3 players Walkman section and look at the zx2 for example and click on where to buy, it brings up shopgentec.ca sorry about the confusion. It looks like some kind of outsourced thing.

@gerelmx1986 I live in Canada and here we call it a tech getto.  Other countries ship the garbage here and not the good stuff.  Our Best buy has no "magnolia" section.  So I ask the man do they carry walkman by sony and he asks me, "what is a walkman?" hahahaha.  So I have to order from...

the cool thing too is buying it in Japan, when you get back home you can say "I got mine in Japan" lol.  Joking aside the only trouble I have ever had with my f886 being in Japanese is using the key pad to type something.  My Hiragana is atrocious at best, but I am learning.  I also find it...

I would wait until September to see what the new walkman models are like.  It is only a month away and the f880 series kinda has bad battery life any ways.  You can also check on this forum too since people are always selling these things as well.    

Hi everyone, last year when I was in Japan I opted for the f886 instead of the zx1.  I am just curious has anyone tried the docking cradle that got released a little while back with the f886?  Do stores over there accept foreign credit cards if I walk in to buy something?  I know they don't like...

Wow, what an awesome set up!!

I think you made a good decision here, I am so troubled with this one though, I would like to replace my F886, and I could buy a zx2 right now with some recently acquired funds or wait for my japan trip in august.  Damn lol.  

@spatzi what I meant by all gone was the entire store is all gone.  sorry for the confusion.

Sorry you had to go through that Spatzi, this is why I cancelled my order initially.  I was probably going to get one in the same batch as you and I am sure they would have had simillar issues.  I am very curious if the new batches have this issue resolved.  I was also hoping to look at one at...

I contacted them about the new hi res cradle thing and they took two weeks to answer my question, essentially no they aren't getting it for Canada at least.  I wonder if this is why the zx1 wont do that new update?  Either way how are people enjoying this new device?  God I am so tempted but...

Anybody else order from sony.ca ?  I wonder if sony.ca got a batch with bad batteries.  I think I'm gonna hold off on this one until Japan later this year.

wow at that box set. can you even get that in Japan?

battery life not so good huh?  That is a shame.   I cancel my order.  

Just bit the bullet and ordered from sony.ca.   

@Conext, thanks for the review, the battery is good, and the sound is good.  SOLD!
