Toshiba Gigabeat MES30VW (30GB, white)

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.
