Creative Zen Touch?

Jun 14, 2005 12:11PM PDT

The Creative Zen Touch looks to be a good option for an MP3 player, except for one thing: the battery isn't removable. Does the battery on this thing eventually wear out, and if so, would I have to buy a whole new MP3 player?

I heard they all die after 500 charges. Buy the warranty.

get a sony nwhd5 if ur budget is willing to allow it. cos it comes with a removable battery...well so do creative mp3 players. But it is most recommended to buy a mp3 player with a removable battery.

Y not, u can clock more hours and never need to think about a dead battery cos u'll always have another one waiting to b used.
So, if u can, buy the replacement battery for the zen touch or choose an mp3 player with a removable battery

hope this advice helps
