    Its cheap compared to the original pice, but it is only a 2GB model. You won't fit much on that.

    If you're on a very tight budget it'd be a good buy alright. Otherwise there are better options available.

    Yeah, but can handle an extra 16GB with a SDHC slot.

    True, but it doesnt come with a card so I am just judging it on the basic price. You can add storage but it'll cost you (20 odd quid for a 16GB card? not sure).

    It doesnt come with a charger either, I forgot to mention that. If it's anything similar to the 605 (i have one), it will have a woeful charge time using the supplied USB cable. 8hrs+ on the 605 :pac:

    Im not taking away from the value - it definitely is good compared to the RRP, but for a little more € theres better PMPs.
