iRiver H340 (Full Edition) for €340 Delivered

cormie

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is a mistake on the site but you can get the iRiver H340 Full Edition (With cradle and remote etc) for €340 delivered from mx2.co.uk! My brother bought the same one about 3 months ago for €460 or so, this is a great catch if it's not an error!
Regards,
Corm

mx2 is the cheapest place to get iRivers, and has been for a good while, good prompt service as well.

cormie

Yup I know, I've been keeping an eye on them every so often for the past few months. This seems like a great price for the H340.

Not sure if the remote and cradle are worth the extra. I thin you'd be better with the SE version and buy a H100's series remote instead. What do you think?

Look at the link I posted, the Full edition of the H340 (40GB) is €340 delivered, the Lite edition is €371 delivered!

The full edition is cheaper :eek:

That's why I'm saying it may be an error

But if it's not...

Chalk

considering the h340 is on special and priced £20 lower than the se that wouldnt make a lick of sense

RicardoSmith

I was pricing the SE one before it Never twigged it was 320...doh!

Been sitting patiently for over six months for this to come down in price. Cormie, you have made my year.

Offler pukes!
I have JUST received my full version H320
OH GOD I'm as sick as a parrot for €40 more I could have had the H340 I ordered one or two days too early
20 GB extra and a cradle for €40 more! OH GOOOOODDDD MY H320 HAS fallen in price as well!!!!

/Offler curls into ball on ground and starts crying
I spent a month looking for a good priced H340 and I finally give in and get the H320 URGGGHH :mad:

Anyone actually gotten one of these yet, with this offer?
I've been interested in getting one since it came out.
Was going to get one from the states, but then i head they were nobbled for usb host.

What are mx2 like?
Do they handle the credit card stuff properly, or ask for photocopies of the card etc.

How are they for delivery?

Well i ordered a h320 of them the week before xmas day..had mine withn 3 working days..best service ever..especially when xmas is the busiest time for post deliverys.I phoned them when i was ordering mine..i used Telestunt aswell so i got the phone call at a local rate to ..but this is a great offer considering i spent 380€ on mine just 3 months back for half the size and no cradle ...

Mr E

Prices seem kinda funky on that site.

The iriver 595t (512mb player, mono display) is £176
The iriver 999 (1gb player, colour display) is £160.

The 999 has longer battery life (at least 25%), a neck band, colour display, ability to store notes, and obviously 512mb more room.

I've had a 595t for a long time now.... time to upgrade, methinks.

^whitey^

Can someone explain to me the difference between the :

Standard model
Lite Model
SE model

:?

rubadub

€340 is a steal, it is still €600 in peats! the 320 is only £199 too

the lite version has no remote or cradle. there are other differences. www.misticriver.net explains it all

comet

Your on about the second player right? why is it cheaper than the SE model which has no remote?

Excuse the ignorance. What is the cradle for?
Can this be hooked up to back of car stereo? Nissan Primera Year 2000.
Seems like a great deal. Been waiting to get one of these.

I "presume" it is a docking station for linkin to the computer

colmoc

Anyone know where you'd get promotional codes or vouchers for mx2?

halkar

So much for a bargain. Ordered one on Sunday, got confirmation mail same day. Today sent them mail asking if my order was processed, got a reply saying it was cancelled with no explanation why.
Feck them, me not going near them again

Tony

I got my 340 from them (at old price) and found the service excellent. 340 is really good, even plays video

Yes it can be hooked up to car stereo using line out assuming you have an AUX in on your stereo. What would be really great would be an interface so your car stereo could show track info etc. Alpine have one for the ipod but I've not seen anything similar for iRiver

halkar

Yeah it is good price Tony, but it is not available. They just cancelled the order with no reason. Web site still showing at the price I ordered and no way of knowing if they are in stock. Anyone ordered with that price?

Why not threaten them with sale of goods act,I'm open to correction but i think once a price is advertised the item must be sold at that price.

halkar

Called and asked them why, they said the reason was "no longer available" . On their site no way of knowing if they are in stock.

I ordered one for my dad yesterday and got a confirmation email which included the following:

Dear

,

This is confirmation that we have received your order request. We will process your order shortly and if any item is out of stock we will email you and let you know. Thank you for shopping at MX2. Currently please allow 7-10 working days for delivery, as stated in our T&C's located here: http://www.mx2.co.uk/acatalog/info.html.

We'll wait and see :rolleyes:

cormie

halkar, maybe it is your credit card? Try again:) They cancelled the first order my bro placed and delivered the 2nd order within 2 days or so

halkar

Nope, nothing wrong with my credit card, they said H340 is not available. If it was the card, i could have sorted out on the phone with another card but I guess I have to for get about it. Anyone managed to buy for that price?

cormie

The guy above said his order went through and they are awaiting stock. My friend also ordered one at that price.

Pet

Argh. I bought my H320 in January for about €340 from amazon..grrr. I feel worse for you though Offler.

Anyone want a 2-month-old fully-working H320 (lite version) - 20% cheaper than what mx2 offer - ie €240? I'll even leave all my music on it!

cormie

You going to get the 40 gig instead? What music have you got?

OfflerCrocGod

The 40Gb player is hefty only get it if you REALLY need 40Gb.

cormie

It's not hefty at all really. It will fit in your pocket, that's really all that matters. And when you have 800 albums in your pocket, maybe a little extra bulge will remind you of how lucky you are to be able to afford such a thing

Cormie, my order went through too, I got the same mail on Sunday, found out Tuesday after sending them a mail asking if order was processed.

cormie

That's weird?!

Just had a look at that page and the full H340 for €340 is no longer there

comet

Must have been a mistake to start with so I'd say. I decided at €340, it was still too bloody expensive anyway, give it 6 months I'm sure it will have a more reasonable price tag.

cormie

Pitty:( Sure if anyone does actually get it for that price, let us know!:)

toil

i ordered it on saturday for that price.
I received a despatch email this morning, saying it was shipped yesterday!
Will wait and see!

toil

toil

just received it this morning......still have to open it....

toil

cormie

That's cool! At least somebody took advantage of it:) Let us know that it's the FULL version anyway!

Not true, an offer of sale is not a contract - had they charged his credit card it would be different.

toil

yup, i got everything with it - remote, external battery pack,cradle..etc...

Tis pretty cool - sound is great from it.

toil

cormie

Nice one:) My friend got the "No longer available" email too unfortunately. Lucky guy Toil!!

aaf

Dear Customer,

Sorry but the following items have been cancelled from your order as they
are no longer available:-


h340

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Please call our sales line or log on to our web site to seek an alternative.

cormie

My friend got the same kind of response
Sorry for getting your hopes up! Well at least toil got one:)

toil

Cheers cormie for the heads up....
if i could share it i would!

Cheers,
toil

litirspam

So what happened with the offer?
Did anyone find out?
Was it a mistake?

comet

Mistake I think, looks like they mixed up the price on the H340 with the H140. - £237.50

comet

I would like to get this H340 and I know someone going to New York soon however the U.S. model is missing some of the good features (e.g. USB on the go), anyone know if its possible to buy a Non-U.S. version in New York?

I think you can flash the firmware which gives you the usb on the go but not the video mode. Its all on http://www.misticriver.net/

comet

I've had a look at that site alright. As far as I can see the video thing is a gimmick and something I wouldn't really use anyway so that wouldn't bother me. USB on the go is a nice feature though, from what I can see flashing the firmware on a U.S. model wouldn't give you USBOTG, you need to actually open it up or add some other cables. Sounds like too much hassle, maybe the ipod would be easier (better stop talking now, this is a bargain thread afterall)
