"Only one flaw..."
Pros: Beautiful screen, excellent sound quality, FM radio, decent storage capacity, very good GUI
Cons: Can't record radio
Summary: I was SO excited about this player when I heard it was coming out. So much so, that I waited an extra 6 months before buying a new mp3 player (my previous player was a Creative Zen Micro). Everything I read about this player sounded fantastic, and after receiving it yesterday, I completely agree...almost. The one GLARING problem with this player when compared to my Zen Micro is the lack of ability to record FM radio. I know that other Creative players came under attack a while ago by the RIAA, but I thought those issues got resolved and that newer firmware updates re-instated FM recording. Why the newest addition to the Zen family has to go without this crucial functionality is a mystery to me.
Other than that, this is a great player and I'm just hoping that future firmware upgrades will revise this problem.

Although not very important to me, it would've been nice to be able to record from radio.
