    "from someone who actually owns this..."

    by sucatpque on July 20, 2006

    Pros: build quality, excellent display and sound, easy and intuitive controls, fantastic interface, Ipod killer potential

    Cons: buggy, WMPx sucks, clueless Toshiba tech support, lack of accessories

    Summary: I'm sure you've read through all the raves and I agree with most of them. However I do have some rants. I've had this unit for several days now and here are some of the bugs to worry about.

    1. Tendency to automatically purge files: After a hard reset (battery switch from on>off>on) my unit automatically deleted all the media files. Same thing happened when my battery was completely drained. I didn't have my charger and hooked it up to a USB port to charge. It did the same thing and purged my files. Thankfully I have all my files backed up on my PC.
    2. Static noises when switching between songs. Also noticable lag between songs.
    3. HD a little noisy at times when accessing songs.

    I've called Toshiba's technical support and they're clueless to what's happening. Hopefully they'll get their act straight and release a new firmware to get rid of the bugs.
