ok, dont want to be the one that claims this is a bargain, but is it?

it looks the same as the ebay ones that people have alot of trouble with, so i said i'd better ask before pouncing.

http://www.memory-configurator.com/p...ite/index.html

seems to have some nice features and specifications.

also, is the company reliable? i have seen offers from the same company posted here before, so some feedback would be appreciated.

i have one,
cost 50eu for a 1 gig.

battery lasts about an hour,
screen cracked second day i had it.

still works, and handy enough as a fully featured usb key

no use as an mp3 player

WarZoneBrother · 21-09-2006, 21:33

where u get the one for 50?

peckerhead · 22-09-2006, 00:04

Argos were selling this for €36.49 in their 'September specials' catalogue — but I'm not sure when the offer expired, might be back up to the €59.99 mark by now... (=+£39.99?)

Anyway, I bought one, and it's still going strong (battery included) a fortnight later!

The company is fairly reliable, I have dealt with them a few times. Decent enough price.

subway · 22-09-2006, 08:52

they are actually 2gb not 4gb,...sorry

**Zascar** · 26-09-2006, 20:44

Can anyone tell the difference between this one and this one. They look slightly difference, and are different prices, but they seem to have the same features.

Ruu · 26-09-2006, 20:51

The only difference I see is with the one for 44 euro Buy It Now is that is says Camera under Additional Features and not in the other one.

**Zascar** · 26-09-2006, 20:56

Oh yeah, thanks. It doesn't say anything abot the camera in the description. Can't be very good, probably got worth paying any extra for...

yes these HK/China sellers play around with prices a lot, some items from the same seller have free shipping, others have lower shipping charges + ins & others higher shipping with no ins,.it's better to bid on the free ship items from this seller,...and BTW the 4gb units are actually 2gb !! I knew this when I orderd mine, this seller has sent extra players to buyers who pulled him/her up on this so no harm done,..four of these items cost me between €47 & €50 each total price through my letterbox,..which I think is worth it.

I bought a 2GB Samsung YP-U2 in that newsagent beside O'Connell bridge for around €100. Its well made, little sounds oks, menus & controls are a little quirky. I prefered my old shuffle. But as an impulse buy it was a good deal. Didn't have a FM radio, some do.
