Well, I have the VX878 and it has serious firmware issues. I find it unusable in its current condition. I hope Onda will release a firmware fix for it but until then I don't even bother using it. Specifically, the backlight never goes off, even when you set it to, which wastes the battery and gives it about a 2 hour life, the custom sound options are a joke. If you try to adjust the equalizer the sound volume will decrease, even if you boost it. Also, the touch screen is unresponsive to the point of frustration.
The VX858 is in a better state, but I hear that there are response issues with its touch screen as well.
If you're looking for a new Chinese player I would highly recommend any player that uses the new Actions ATJ2135 chipset. The features are so far above the run of the mill Chinese player that you'll be shocked and very, very happy you bought one.
