tough decision for me…
i've been reading reviews, firstly it's not compatible for drag and drop with Macs :(
and apparently you can only scroll through menu items ONE at a time?? imagine scrolling through 8gb of songs! lol
but for $80 del'd…hard to pass up …
hmmmm
You can flash the firmware to make them UMS.. I have with mine.. works fine with my Powerbook
Just checked the specs and found "Library( Artist, Album,Genre,Title DB sorting)" under file management which suggests it works like my Sandisk with the ability to find the songs from the file tags for artist/Album?Title - makes 8Gig of music and video completely manageable :))
BTW I just ordered one for my wife.

That's correct.. It is a bit tedious though.. there isn't any acceleration as you scroll, although Samsung are regularly updating the firmware and it could be an upcoming new feature.
Bluetooth audio is awesome with a cheap set of BT headphones.. Although I almost lost mine on the train.. put it on the seat then moved to a different seat.. didn't notice cause the music was still playing fine.. Next stop someone sat where I'd been and picked it up! Lucky it was an honest commuter!
they only have it in that Bright Green colour, sure will attract some attention :)
nevertheless, it is a good deal
Bought one of these 2-3 months ago with a Samsung $40 cashback for $140 making it $100.
They're a very good player.. I've flashed the firmware of mine to be Universal Mass Storage compatible..
Bought 2 this time around for presents.
Have you got your cashback yet?
I haven't received mine yet :-(
Received mine awhile ago. Already used it. :)
Yeah, got mine a fortnight ago..
how do you do it to flash the player to be UMS?
I will definitely get one if you can tell me scubacoles
thanks :)
There's 2 methods on the anything but iPod forums here
http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=120
both require moderate skill level.. but they're both step by step procedures. Anyone who is reasonably computer literate can follow them.
The bright green is quite acceptable in real life.. it draws some attention but also makes it easy to find
awesome news scubacoles, coz I just bought one too!
yeah if you could provide info on flashing to make it UMS that would be much appreciated!
also, just outta interest where did you get your cheap BT headphones from? Dealextreme? I see they have receivers for sale where you can just plug in ur own headphones into the 3.5mm jack…
eBay.. Nokia BH-501 less than $30..
They're not attractive but the sound is OK and the battery life is good.
OK, I can't pass this up. Just waiting for 6pm - check's out at $149 at the moment! Ordered a 4GB mp3 (audio only) Ipod knock-off the other day for my daughter & thought I'd done well @ $35-. I should have hung off for a couple of days! Maybe I can justify this one as an early Fathers' Day present?

Weird, it was $74.95 and when I refreshed the page it jumped up to $149.00 plus the promotional pricing dates changed as well:
"Promotional pricing starts 9pm 30/06/08 and ends 4pm 02/07/08 AEST."
It used to say "starts 6pm 27/06/08". Maybe we've swamped them with purchases and scared them… ;)
Hmmm, I was very close to buying one, will wait for now.
NOT HAPPY, JAN!!!!! :(
I had one in the cart & it kept listing in the "catalogue" @ $74.95, but @ $149 in the cart. This was b4 6pm, so I thought I had to wait til 6pm to get the "special" price. Now it appears that somehow they all went b4 6pm at $74-95. This is pretty rude, seeing that the item specifically stated that the promotional price STARTED at 6pm today!!!!! I don't think I'll be too bothered about revisiting DealsDirect…

Frankly, if you make a complaint to dealsdirect via phone, they may consider accept the deal. But just a suggestion.
DealsDirect don't have a phone number!… lucky I got in quick to get the price.
just about to buy it (after come home from office), price has been jacked up !!!
not happy at all …
It says Promotional pricing starts 9pm 30/06/08 and ends 4pm 02/07/08 AEST. So let's hope the Bargain will be back by then.
Thanks for you suggestions FCHIS, & I'll check again Monday night,, but I'm not holding my breath!!!

I must be meant NOT to get one of these. Was going to order this morning when I saw it was avail' at $75 again, but decided to wait 'til I get home from work so I could get credit thru MBC (firewall @ work gets a bit thing about tracking cookies!)!!!
Oh well, Kay Sarah Sarah…
