ITS ARRIVED - The replacement player arrived yesterday. Fired up OK and it has the full 2 meg reported by windows and the disk format tool.

Not tried the memory hack (will only do this if I have any problems).

So far added about 700 MB of data, mixture of ogg (which play fine) and amv files.

Really pleased that the delivery just avoided the Chinese New Year, only took 4 days to be delivered after notice of despatch (this included the weekend).

I am now winding up a mate at work with the superiority of the Chipod v iPod.

Also just taken delivery of a genuine Nokia battery (BL-4C), currently running tests to compare this to the Uxcell supplied battery. Will post results on a seperate thread (Michiganjfrog guess you will be interested in this?).

The final (and would be icing on the cake) bit to close this is for Uxcell to credit back my postage costs in returning the faulty player. They did email to say that they would refund this. Will wait and see.
