Digital camera reviews of Creative Zen V Plus 4 GB Portable Media Player (Black/Blue)
Digital camera Review: A Nightmare!
Summary: 1 Stars
I did read the reviews on Creative and this player, and thought I was getting a good deal when I bought it. The player was less than 3 month old when it started to freeze up and all the resets and software downloads Creative directed me to, did not fix the problem. I want to send it back to them as it is still under warranty but I cannot read the serial number on the product so they will not accept it. I am going to buy an Apple iPod - should have done that in the first place.Digital camera Review: ATTENTION!!! PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!! YOU WILL BE VERY DISAPOINTED
Summary: 1 Stars
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT, IT WILL BREAK WITHIN 6 MONTHS. THE SCREEN WILL JUST DIE AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO FIX IT. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU TAKE CARE OF IT OR NOT, IT WILL JUST NATURALLY BREAK. IT IS SOMESORT OF PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN OF THIS MP3. THIS WILL HAPPEN TO YOUR MP3 IF YOU BUY IT. BUY AN IPOD, SANSA, A ZUNE, IT DOES NOT MATTER, AS LONG AS IT IS NOT THIS. ALSO, PLEASE DO NOT BUY ANY CREATIVE PRODUCTS BECAUSE I ALSO BOUGHT HEADPHONES THAT DID NOT WORK. I REPEAT THIS PRODUCT WILL BREAK. THIS DID NOT JUST HAPPEN TO ME, IT ALSO HAPPENED TO MY BROTHER, AND DOZENS OF REVIEWS THAT I HAVE READ ONLINE. THE ZEN V PLUS WILL WORK FOR ABOUT 6-12 MONTHS BUT AFTER THAT THE SCREEN WILL COMPLETLY BREAK AND THE PLAYER WILL STOP WORKING. I AM WRITING THIS REVIEW FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN BUYING AN MP3. PLEASE PICK A DIFFERENT PRODUCT FOR THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.Digital camera Review: unbelivably better than the ipod... but...
Summary: 4 Stars
this is an awesome mp3 player, except it has a few problems...
Pros:
brilliant color screen makes it easy to see what you are doing, even if you are using it outside where there is a huge glare
I dont care what people say about the stupid thumb navigation being too small... its fine. if I made the mp3 player, I would have chosen a different mechanism to scroll and stuff... but there is no real problem with it
Look at the size of this thing!!!! its TINY!!! its AWESOME!!!
Cons:
i have had it for 3 weeks and it has frozen 4 times. 3 out of the 4 times, I very simply resseted it and it was fine, not really a problem unless you don't have a small paperclip.
Here's the big con you have been waiting for: one of the times it froze, I reseted it and it turned on again and it looked fine, until it froze again. OH NO! I repeated the process of finding a small paperclip and reseted it. IT FROZE AGAIN WITHIN SECONDS OF ME TURNING IT ON!!!! i repeated this process many times, but it was no use. I emailed the creative labs support thingy and they gave me a simple solution. Here it is if this happens to you. reset it, and when you turn it on, it will go through the regular startup screens of the creative symbol, and saying Zen V Plus. When it says the creative symbol, hold down the play button and a "recovery menu" comes up run the "cleanup" and then "reboot". it worked for me, so it should work for you.
last couple of cons:
video is bad because of the small screen
line in encoding is hard to use
Thats all for now!
Digital camera Review: Absolutly Love this!
Summary: 5 Stars
For Christmas, I bought 4 different mp3 players. I love this one the most by far. It's size is perfect. It's easy to use, easy to put music on, I love it. Too bad I bought it for my son. I thought about keeping it for myself and giving him the one I bought for myself. ;)Digital camera Review: All You Need.
Summary: 4 Stars
I agree with all the other positive comments about this player. The only thing I would caution someone about is the little "joystick" that is used to navigate. Over time it will most likely wear out because I had a another similar product and the same type of "joystick" navigator wore out. Other than that this is a good buy for the money and it is very easy to use.
