So, can anyone tell my if this player http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...5854&rd=1&rd=1 is decent ? Does it have an 3.5" headphone ? Wich standard Nokia battery does fit ? I like the option of an easily interchangable battery, but maybe there's a different model with better value for money / quality out there.

That's the infamous "Glacier", my friend. Take a gander over to your....LEFT. That's what it looks like in white. The difference between the one you saw on eBay and the one sold by UXcell is about $30US, I'd say. It has a standard 3.5" jack, takes a Nokia BL-4C battery. Legend has it that it might take a Bl-5C, but no one can confirm that for me yet (little point in a Bl-5C if you can't close the cover on the player).
Better value out there? No. Better quality? Yes. What makes the Glacier particularly appealing is the fact that you can replace the battery. You can't do that with 99% of the MP4 players on the market today, and even many mp3 players. If you overlook the dodgy USB connections, the restarts, the staticky FM recordings, the inability to play some mp3, ogg, WMA and WAV files, the inability to correctly play videos that utilize the full size of the screen, the inconsistent quality control and the fact that it might randomly die in about a week's time for no known reason, its really a fantastic player. Get one! I'd say there's about a 38% chance you won't regret it. |
