Sep 22 (2006) 08:54PM  | This is amazing news, but like Michael said, it's just a matter of Creative delivering the goods in a timely manner.  |

Sep 22 (2006) 09:09PM  | They should re-calibrate the joystick. Without an acceleration curve, it would be a pain to scroll through 8 GB of music. |
| mdscriber3
Sep 22 (2006) 09:17PM | I agree The Big M. I thought of that, too. That's my biggest gripe with the player as it stands. I couldn't imaging 8GB of my music and have that slower than molassis scroll action ... Pam |

Sep 22 (2006) 09:29PM  | It does beg the question tho.. what color will the ring be around the joystick? Inquiring minds want to know..... [ edited Sep 23 (2006) 07:51PM ] |

Sep 22 (2006) 09:34PM | Pink? |
| mdscriber3
Sep 22 (2006) 09:35PM | Pink would be hot, Utew ... *wink* |

Sep 22 (2006) 09:42PM | How about chrome? I like shiny stuff. |

Sep 22 (2006) 10:10PM | Actually Utew, a fuchsia accent would be hot with a black player. Or even use the same color that was used for the Creative Muvo S200: [Linky] [ edited Sep 22 (2006) 10:10PM ] |
| Utew
Sep 22 (2006) 10:22PM | Amazing how that fuchsia colored S200 looks like a lighter with an lcd screen..  Yeah Pam, it might work for a black V/V+....... |
| Bitshitter
Sep 23 (2006) 08:35AM  | an 8GB Zen V+ would be great! Otherwise, I think that the Zen V would've had a hard time keeping neck & neck with Apple and Sandisk in the flesh DAP market, even with the great GUI and sound quality..... so the scrolling doesn't speed up from the initial speed, if you keep the nubbins held down?? I haven't tried out the zen v yet.....maybe in a firmware update?? and fuchsia (that's definitely the first time in my life that I typed that word) would make the most sense as the next color.... |
| mdscriber3
Sep 23 (2006) 09:28AM | UTEW: LOL ... yeah, I guess it does look like a lighter ... that just killed it for me ...  BITSHITTER: Unfortunately, there is no speed up of scrolling if you hold the joystick down ... hopefully, this wil lbe fixed with a firmware update. They'll have to fix it definitely for the 8GB version for sure because it's frustrating as h*ll ... We could be onto something with this fuchsia thing ...  Pam |

Sep 23 (2006) 11:06AM |  In the Singapore Store, this color is available with the 2Gb Zen V Plus l0l In my opinion... the 8Gb could be black to compete with the iPod Nano or... yellow? who knows... |
| Brandon
Sep 23 (2006) 11:21AM  | Zen V Pink 8 GB Included accessories: -Earbuds -Felt case -Software -Sunglasses (2 pair) -Software Anyway, I'm really looking forward to the 8 GB model if it's true! |

Sep 23 (2006) 11:49AM | P4K1T0: Ooooh .... pretty .... shiney .... I soooo want one of those ... 8GB please ... Pam |
| mdscriber3
Sep 23 (2006) 11:55AM | What's funny is that hubby and I are going to the Apple Store this weekend and I'm so afraid I'll be sucked in by the pink Nano (or the 8-gigger black) ... the pink above that is available in Singapore (you guys get all the good stuff *sniff*) looks a lot like the same pink the Nano now is. I do like it Pam |
| ashxcore
Sep 23 (2006) 02:22PM  | On a semi-relating note, am I the only one who hates the way the 2G Nanos look? Fuchsia, eh? I would have never known how to spell it. As for the news, it doesn't really affect me (as I have no need for such a small-capacity player), but it is good to know that Creative is playing hardball (well, somewhat...better advertisement is still needed).

Sep 23 (2006) 07:45PM | I agree with ashxcore, the 2G Nanos are ugly. I fiddled with a friend's 8gig black Nano--I've owned a 1G 4g Nano for a few months--and recently acquired a 4g Zen V Plus. And I have to say I prefer the Zen V Plus' form factor |
| Utew
Sep 23 (2006) 07:52PM | Flamboyant pink sunglasses. Brandon?? |
| The Big M
Sep 23 (2006) 08:07PM | Does it have a matching hot pink USB cable?  |
| randyagent
Sep 23 (2006) 10:35PM | Oops I just bought the 8gb i pod nano |
| 1AussieBoy
Sep 24 (2006) 05:31AM  | An 8GB V+ Oh yeah |
| Couch
Sep 24 (2006) 09:13AM  | I'm fine with my 4GB. But I think they would go all black, or black and white. To be classy. |
| bliss007 Sep 24 (2006) 10:51AM | Hmm, the 4gig+FM+Vid is expensive enough because of OLED screen, I dont fancy seeing the price of a 8gig model, I bought my ZVM 30gig cause it was approx same price as the 4gig+FM+vid (think thats the blue one) And colour options are crap IMO. |
| supermonkey
Sep 24 (2006) 12:58PM  | i saw someone at college 2day with a zen v. it really is tiny! if 8gb comes out i'm gettin me one of these. |
| mdscriber3
Sep 24 (2006) 08:58PM | They are unbelievably tiny I saw them in a case next to the new iPod Nanos and it even makes the Nanos look big ... LOL |
| bliss007 Sep 25 (2006) 06:32AM | They really do need more then black or white for the 60gig, I prefer black but others will want choice. |
| mdscriber3
Sep 25 (2006) 09:48AM | I agree with you there, bliss007 ... I love color choices and black and white just don't do it for me, either. Although i do like Creative's idea of havng different color accents on a black or white player. But that's just me Pam[ edited Sep 25 (2006) 09:49AM ] |
| Freelancer44
Sep 25 (2006) 03:24PM  | I wish that you could chose the colors of your zen v plus, even if it cost you more. The color combinations are ok but I would prefer soemthing else. |
| drakest1
Sep 26 (2006) 12:10AM | Well, economics has to bear here. It's just hard to provide that level of customizability. But I'm sure there are ways to do a spray paint job or something to change the colour scheme. I remember there was a guy who repainted his Zen XTra -- he did it black front and back, and I *think* had some splashes of dark blue too. And it looked really cool. d. |
| Technofencer
Sep 26 (2006) 05:27PM  | I think that an 8GB ZV+ would be really cool. As for the ring: Baby Blue? |
| ssjmichael
Sep 26 (2006) 05:37PM  | Now that I saw that silver joystick one, I'm going to guess that's the 8GB one. It's such a mystery otherwise  |
| Utew
Sep 26 (2006) 11:49PM | The silver/chrome sure changea the overall look.. makes it look less "toy" like... IMO |
| bliss007 Sep 27 (2006) 08:02AM | Link ? |
| supermonkey
Sep 27 (2006) 02:11PM | a black and yellow one would be cool. i saw the new nano today and i hate it as much as the old one. the display version was acctually broken(slide switch had come off) and the zen v was right next to it looking as good as new i couldn't have a go with it though as it had low battery. |
| dotFortune
Sep 29 (2006) 12:18PM  | I'm not going to lie, wehn I first saw that pink V, I thought OMG! Black and chrome (silver or gold) would be really cool. |
| squeakers Mar 19 (2007) 01:36PM | I had a 1g zenv+ it was pretty cool but the joystick was kinda small. Im deffinetly gonna get a 8g+ though |
| joshkrz
Jul 13 (2007) 12:49AM | zen v plus is good, but the firmware needs to be more graphical as well as a better quality screen to truly compete with ipods, as well as the 8Gb feature . maybey they could release a firmware editor :/[ edited Jul 13 (2007) 12:53AM ] |
