| May I ask what USB charger is recommended? I remember somewhere else in the forum you can just use the iPod charger, does it make any difference that it is a UK charger, and a US Zune? |

True, however if you want a mains chrger, we had a post where we discovered that any Ipod type mains chrger with a usb slot in the top will do the trick

I am getting it for £130/£148, I am still waiting for money to transfer. It is more expensive for the black Zune, and then there is the posting ontop of that which is £6.

seriously, i'd just go with an ipod classic, bout the same price, but so much more support. and the most important thing...
itunes is shit, but its sooo much better than the god awful, hateful new zune software...which you can't update properly.... if a hassle is what your after then go for it, but if u've not got it yet, then i wouldn't bother... ipod is far less hassle, and if MS mess Europe around as much as they did while i had my zune, you'll be grateful to miss it...

This may sound silly but I just don't want the same as my brother, it is like wearing the same t-shirts or something. I'm looking forward to the wi-fi. I get 45 day warranty, which isn't bad. |

Wi-Fi Sync RAPES your battery, and is soooo much slower than using the USB.

the only time it may be useful is if you have it charging away from your computer in yoiur network range... and even then... its unlikely...

yes, indeed. we against it coz we know too much about it and all those fanboys of zune out there, they are just for the look. NOT FIRMWARE!!!! (or maybe they paid for the marketplace from the beginning, idk. none of us did, so we cant confirm that) |
