Bought one today, returned 19 minutes later.

Good :

Sounds good
Videos look great - 30fps
Speakers - novelty but nice
Battery replaceable

Bad :

SCROLL WHEEL IS USELESS , I MEAN UTTERLY CRAP

Yep it doesnt catch your finger as it is practically smooth, it feels like it will break in days not years.

You didn't 'try before you buy'?

Well apart from Apple and Creative, I can only speak for myself when iRiver and Cowon are only represented with a tiny proportion of their players on the high street. Its some sort of Utopia, but there wouldn't be so many "what should I buy" threads on many a forum if we could all try before we buy

Seriously eh?

I was just about to get one of these until I read this. Is this set in stone or is it like the annoying little joysticks on the older models, where you just have to get used to them after awhile?

Because there really isn't much else out there.

Sure, but he said: bought it and returned 19 mins later, which to me indicates he got it from a retail store and not on the net.
