Re: which one is better?
 

I would get the first pic, because its cheaper, but if you want MP4 that looks like a iPod nano then go with the second pic, it doesn't really matter which one you get, because they both have the same firmware and screens are the same size, but if I where you just get the first pic.

*edit*
or maybe go with this, bigger screen, aroudn the same price range, and looks nicer than the first pic you have here.

Re: which one is better?
 

I have both players.

Looking at the screenshot photos, it looks like they use the same chipset board, so the functions are the same.

The only real difference is then is the price and the 'look' of the player.

From having both players, I can recommend the second, black one. The first grey/silver one is good, but too thick. The black one is more slimmer and (check) with a metal backing. It looks very close to a Nano too.

However, I've noticed the price is more expensive for the second black one.

But yeh, that's my recommendation.
Hope is of some use.

Re: which one is better?
 

To me, the thickness may be an advantage. All the really thin ones use non-standard .25mm cellphone sockets. Many of the thicker ones use the standard .35mm mini-headphone sockets.

The earbud headphones on most chiPods are crap. I just throw them away and use a quality headphone instead.

Yes, there are .25mm to .35mm adapters you can buy for the thinner chiPods, but they are not a very good solution to a problem you can avoid.

hey! thanks for your answers! if both players are the same in software... then I think I'll prefer the first one, i like it most... I prefer it with a regular headphone jack... and with a more unique look than just a nano...

Now I think you can change the battery if they go wrong?

Im surprised of the difference of price of this things here and in the USA

the first one cost $38.900 chilean pesos that's US$74... for just 1 gig..

anyway... thanks!...

I think I'll learn to modify the graphics with this one and give one as a gift to a girl that I like with some special graphics haha, what you think bout that?

Sorry all for the language but it's better for my connational...
..
Yo tengo los dos: el de arriba marcado como Egital y el de abajo como Fujitel.
. los dos usan el mismo chip y el mismo s1mp3, así que tienen las mismas funciones
. las 2 pantallas son de 1.5
. el de arriba es mas chico y gordo... usa un audifono normal de 3.5 mm, pero sus teclas son mas dificiles de usar
. el de abajo es mas grande y delgado... tiene un plug de 2.0 mm para el audifono... las teclas son mucho mas comodas y en estos equipos las funciones son medio complicadas asi q teclas grandes son mejores.
asi que tienes que usar el audifono que trae o un adaptador de 2.0 a 3.5
. lo del audifono es importante porque los que traen son malos y el sonido cambia mucho con unos buenos... yo compre unos Koss en 13.500 en www.evolta.cl,
. por otro lado el cable del audifono es la antena de FM y el adaptador le quita potencia y suena peor.
Para mi el Fujitel esta buenisimo me gusta mas que el Egital

Re: which one is better?
 

Buena! gracias! sabes donde conseguir uno de los segundos más baratos?

do you know where can I find one of the seconds cheaper?

Re: [solved] which one is better?
 

Search in internet for the site I mentioned for the earphones... www.evolta.cl, I didn't see a s1mp3 of 1 gb of screen 1.5... just 1.8 which of course is better but a bit more expensive. $ 45.000 (US$ 82.)
The best is that is a established store and they can guarantee their products.
Anyway, in deremate or mercadolibre are lots of offers.
Good luck

coke,

Let us know what you ended up buying.

Would love to hear a review from you when you get it.

Re: [solved] which one is better?
 

I really want the first one, cause is cooler and it has normal headphones input... but the bid is finished, and they had it at a very good price... ($35.000)

but today I got the chance of using the black one and is very good too, and I found the adapters that are very cheap, one thing i didn't like was the volume very low! I think i won't hear it on the subway...

so I'll go for the cheaper one available... (if the guy of the first one doesn't answer, I'll go for the second one)

do you have any recommendation cause I'll go to the shop to pick it up and I inted to test it before buying... maybe there are some that sound softer than others? what are the common failures?


of course I'll report which one I pick and what was my experience...

thanks!
