[ image disabled ]I finally received my Creative ZEN a few days ago and it's easily one of best looking players I've owned (and I've owned plenty). It also sounds great and has a smooth interface. It'll take me a little while to complete my review so I ask for your patience with that. In the meantime, check out the newly published review from our French friends GenerationMP3. Among other things, the review provides a nice video of the interface, and some hands-on with some official ZEN accessories. Here's a very rough translation of their summary:

Summary

Pros:

• Its overall quality
• Ergonomics and usability
• Finishing and manufacturing quality
• One of the first 16GB Flash players
• Price

Cons:

• Usefulness of SD slot?!
• Small hiss at low volumes
• Videos must be encoded
• Hold Switch hidden by a headphone jack (again no clue)
• Battery life shorter than advertised
