Its the old model so you're starting to see it reduced (it was €300 when it came out), but €166 is still a lot cheaper than anywhere else. Its £200 on Amazon for the 32GB.
Plays videos/music and has GPS, wi-fi, bluetooth, FM radio etc.

I can't vouch for the seller but it all seems legit and the seller is AVIDES.

I don't speak German so make sure to check the description and small print to make sure the thing is new (not a refurb) if you're thinking of ordering. I ordered one anyway so fingers crossed its all legit.

Its got 1.6 and its unlikely that it will be upgraded (officially) in the future.

Will its interface be in german?

If one takes into account all the Archos 5 in Augenlbick the best Internet-enabled device on the market.

That word should be "Augenblick" which means "at a glance". Just showing off that I did beginner's German at college :P But seriously I just can't see the point in these things. I suppose they're handy if you're traveling and are away from the computer yes? I'm never off the laptop so I doubt I'll be purchasing.

Tried to get into the shop webpage from ebay and it's not loading up properly, also noticed the member is registered since 17.06.2010 yet it has reviews for 6 months and 12 months.....

Just seems a bit dodgy to me....

the 12 month figure is the same as the 6 month figure which is exactly what you'd expect for a user who's been registered for less than 6 months...

Avides is a good company. Great customer service. Bought a few things from them before, one of them was faulty and they had a courier pick it up from my door and a new one was dispatched within days.
