Creative Zen Touch - 20GB - Tips

HungryJoey

Hey guys... I was looking into buying a Creative Zen Touch 20 GB model. I was wondering is there 2 versions of this Player... I noticed on komplett the trim in the Player is dark silver/ grey colour but else where they are LIGHt silver in colour. I was wondering has anybody bought 1 of komplett at anytime and what it looks like.

And also, is there anywhere else apart from komplett thats worth while buying from...If komplett only sell this so called " grey " version, i don't want it. I only like the look of the lighter 1.

Thanks alot, HJ.

I think one is the 20GB model and the other is the 40GB. Not sure which is which though. Check on the creative site.

komplett has the 20gb version - creatives site has both i think

Yeh i know theres a 40 + 20 Gig Model's but just as u say that , mabe the 40GB is the lighter colouring as my Brothers friends has the 40 Gb's Models and there colouring is lighter, Mae thats the difference ?


Never though of shopping on There site but i noticed the prices are higer, They retail at 229 or somthig similar at Komplett but 299 at Creative.ie.

For the best advice, go to the creative boards that I posted a link to in my firrst post in this thread.

I bought a Zen Touch on eBay and initially saved a bomb. However, I was subsequently nailed with customs and shipping charges. Still saved 80 euro. If you know someone in America, you could save a fortune since most stuff gets delivered free to anywhere in the States. Just get them to send it on to you. Anyone know if customs could get you this way?

You were unlucky mate. I got one on ebay also but avoided any customs...
got it for 200 Euro last November

I just bought one from computeruniverse.net €193, shipping was €16 but I went for the UPS option for €50 as I ordered a car stereo aswell and don't really want either getting lost.

Shopping around is essential!

OK i've looked in a few places and in every pic I see the 20G one has dark trim and the 40G one has light trim. Personally I think the dark looks far better but if ya don't like it looks like you'll have to go for the 40G model.

HungryJoey

Yeh same here, It looks like thats it. So Komplett you's think is the best place to buy regarding Price and i know there reliable , bought so much stuff off them.

What were they like to use, what do they charge for postage? Any problems with the langue? ie, the manuals etc.
