hanky416,

It looks very nice.
1.8", TFT is the way to go.

Some things to ask the seller though:

1. Does it support .AMV video format? ACTIONS boards support .AMV and these are the most common boards. Also there are lots of tools to let you backup your firmware, modify your firmware and reflash your player. The other borads, Sunplus and Sigmatel don't have many tools at all.

2. What is the money back guarantee? A lot of people have been fooled by 2GB players and after formatting their players, only get 512MB instead! So it's best to check if that is the case, can you return it for a refund?

3. When you get it, backup your player and format it straight away. That way, you will know whether you have a legit 2GB player.

4. After getting your player, fill it to the max with music, videos etc... Then go through them all to make sure they are all readable. This will let you know if it's a 'hacked' player.


Those the only suggestions I can think of so far. If I can think of more, I will let you know.

Hey Hanky, Admin is exactly right, the price is really good at only $50, however I wouldnt be sure as to if this is a real player or not as it seems too good to be true and those situations usually end up having a fake player.

hmm.. thanks for your advice guys. I'll have to check it out more because your right, the price seems to good to be true.

I am going to say that your probably going to get a hacked player, just look at what the guy sells, it includes fake san disk cards, Fake nanos in replica iPod Nano Boxes (which i think is just wrong).

Thats my take on it. If you do buy from him, ask him what his return policy is and check the player when it arrives. Who knows, it might actually be a good deal.
