Lotsall

I also have a 4GB chano on the way. They did provide me with a tracking # for USPS, which is odd, considering they said it was sent china airmail???

i know of a couple people that have gotten their 4GB chano's from lots all, and they were true 4GB and functioned quite well. I havent heard a complaint other than shipping time. I paid for mine on June 19th so i am hoping to see mine in the next week or so

I have yet to get all the tiny bits back where they belong, so teh player is open and right in front of me.

That's the number on the Hynix chip.

It does strike me as a bit odd to use two makes, especially as they have different form factors. The 2GB Samsung has the leads coming off the short ends, while the Hynix has them along the long edges. I just can't see that as a good engineering position, but I'm looking at it right now!

Looks like this one

which appears to confirm it is a 64MB chip.

Yep, I'd used the link to a pdf identifying Hynix chip codes in the thread about memory to come to that conclusion.

I can't help but notice that all of the auctions today are now either 1 or 2 GB, and there are none listed as 4GB. I wonder if they are the same players and they are now selling them at what they honestly turned out to be. :P

[NOLA MPx Fan]

Well, shortly after my initial contact they did pull all the auctions for my style. Then a few days later they sent me an unsolicited email thanking me for bringing this to their attention, letting me know they found other players of the same model with similar issues, and, yet again, apologizing for the inconvenience it had caused me.

A couple days after that, the player was back, but at the two lower capacities.

Could it have been a scam? Sure, but if it was they were among the best at it I've seen and I worked in Timeshare in the Nineties, so I've seen it all.

Could it be they got scammed? I find that more likely. And it just happened that they found out about it when I brought it up. None, and I mean none, of their behaviour on the service side makes me think they sold it to me knowing what it was. Heck, they asked me twice to consider sending it back prepaid at their cost. And that is something no one running a scam has ever done!

So yes, I think they had someone check every single player from that manufacturer. And yes, I think that they are now selling the MT29 and MT26 models at their actual capacity. Again, not something I'd see a scammer doing. ;-)

I took a chance and ordered two players from Lotsall, 1 for me, 1 for my wife. I'm paying for the express shipping. I'll let everyone know how I make out.

Keep us posted.
Mainly because I rally want to give this model to a few relatives as gifts, and I don't want to hunt down another supplier.

(selfish, I know ;-) )

I didn't get the same as you. I got the Chipods because they are now listed at less than your model. :wink:

[NOLA MPx Fan]

Yes, but I still think it will be a fair test, as "mine" is no longer listed as 4GB.

Well, saving the player for a gift for my mom didn't quite work out. She saw my Meizu and immediately wanted one. I knew that would happen, she loves my toys. 8) So I gave her the clone one I got from Lotsall early. Not nearly as good as mine, but she's happy. 2gb will hold plenty for her. She's already had me download 2 full length movies on it.
