"revised model w/ very significant flaws"
Pros: Great screen, crazy storage
Cons: Frustratingly slow interface
Summary: I've got the 80gb version of this and I simply can't recommend it, at this time. The new eye candy introduced (imagery to the right of menus) w/ the iPod classic has made navigating the menus unacceptably slow. There are frequent pauses and delays as images are loaded on the fly.
With no way to de-activate these graphic elements, these navigation delays make the iPod classic very frustrating to use.
And Coverflow, though it looks cool, is too twitchy to be useful.
My advice: wait for either a revised model or, at least, a major firmware update before purchasing.

I too was very frustrated with the sluggish interface and coverflow performance but most of these issues were resolved yesterday when apple released a iPod software update.
