Well so here I am holding it for real and I must say I'm impressed as hell. Let's start with the cons(I've had the ZVP now for one week so I'll be reporting regulary when i find something new.): -The player is somewhat harder to use with the right hand when pressing the back button when you want to hold it for the menu to appear it often goes just back in the menu then to open the pop up menu -The battery status indicator is somewhat confusing,I charged the player for 3 hours only to find the minute i turn it on after cca. 30 sec of playing mp3's the battery status on the indicator has fallen by a small section. The pros: +Nice design +Lies very good in the hand +Great sound quality +Good picture displaying +The themes are a nice idea +FM transmitter is ok,but why is the antennae in the player and why not instead the earphones,could have been better +Joystick is very good,good response in all directions +Sync software is ok,but what it lacks is the battery status presented in precentage as in Media Lite for the ZEN Stone +Line in recording is almost perfect nice ability +Great package,nice accessories in the pack The price is okay for the 1Gb version,i paid 739 HRK,wich is little more than 100€.

I have the ZVP over one week and in the fornt it apsolutley hasn't got any scratches,while on the back it has got a tiny one from taking it out of my pocket. ZEN Stone owner(Black)!

This is the only Creative player that I still own...hopefully, if Creative manages to make something good without making us wait 5 years then I'll buy another Creative player to replace my Jailbroken iPod Touch (although that seems pretty unlikely by the looks of things).
