I have the full metal 1.5 2gig and it works great. No issues at all. I just ordered the 1.8 2gig for myself the other 2 were gifts to the kids. I don't think you can go wrong for the price. The video on the 1.5 is set at 128x98 and it's vertical. I noticed the new convert tools allow you to rotate the view. I will give that a try. But mine out of the box displayed vertical from day one.

I did not see much difference from the 1.5 to the 1.8 other than the viewable area. But I understand the menu has changed a bit.

I should receive mine today or Friday and will post a review since I can compare the 1.5 to the 1.8
