Zen Micro alternative?

Oct 31, 2005 9:47AM PST

Hi everyone!
Here?s the deal. I am planning on buying a mp3 player and I love how the zen micro looks and all its features, but i don?t want to have the damned headphone jack problem in 1 month!
So, is there a player with the same quality and features as a creative apparatus, but without this hardware problems?

Regards!

The zen micro problem was fixed in the newer versions. I have had one now since june and it has worked perfectly. It is the best mp3 player I have owned to date.

How do I know if the one I?m buying is one of the newer ones?
I live outside US and I?m thinkin of buying it at buydig.com (and have it delivered to a friend of mine who live in the us)...

So, how do i know if they are selling me one of the new ones or they just had one in stock since last year..

Regards

A bit about buydig.com

I would NOT recommend buying from buydig.com. They sat on a backorder I had for 20 days, and it was not until I called (twice) before they cancelled my order because they could not deliver.

A good way to know is to see if comes with the charger. If it does then it is the old version, if it doesn't than it is the newer version. That is the best way to tell before you buy.

i bought a gmini 400 from them. not only did it ship late, but it also shipped to the wrong house TWICE, and some extra money was withdrawn from the credit. sure, they're cheap, but what's the price to pay?

i hate them...
