Digital camera reviews of Creative Zen 16 GB Portable Media Player (Black)
Digital camera Review: $250 Paperweight
Summary: 2 Stars
I got this mp3 player (at my own request) for Christmas last year. The thing was alright, it was nifty to customize. However, one day I tried to turn on the radio, and the thing just died. Powered on kinda-sorta, but wouldn't boot. Had to reset it, to no avail.
I tried everything they suggested on the website, and what little help they could give me was to essentially tell me that they couldn't help me because it didn't have a warranty (less than a year later).
I strongly suggest not buying this gadget. Considerably less than durable, and you won't get any help if/when it breaks.
