The moment it comes to Croatia (IF it comes), i'm selling my HDD120 and getting a HDD6330. And being a sattisfied HDD120 user, i'm sure I won't be dissapointed!

And here's a HDD1630 (6 gb) pic:

:) great i am looking to get rid of my hdd120 pretty soon, but tbh i dont think ill be getting this, if it had better battery life, dosnt come with ddm and was a bit cheaper i would defo get it, but ill guess mt plan is to still replace the hdd120 with a sony viao pocket because its cheaper, more space(40gig), and a cool g shock cencor pad think (i dont know what its called) for controling the gui.


Wow stock earbuds that dont look like they need replaceing!
plus screen looks a little small

hassassin , the battery life seems ok, 15hours is not great but fine... and about the screen i thought it looked small aswell, but at dapreview i read it's 2in , and that's really big... so i dunno :-o
anywayz, seems like a nice but expensive player, don't think i'll be getting this player though if i had deeper pockets i might have considered it...

[hassassin]

i agree the battery life is ok, i was just saying its not as good as the sony player i mentioned and as a result iam still going to stick with the sony player when it comes time to replace my hdd120

[VeX]

Well it really isn't that expensive, price will be about $300, and if you really want it, yust start saving, every month put $80 on the side, and in 3 months it's price will fall, and you'll have enough money for it. I know that I will do that.

I think I'll wait to see the player software before I even consider getting one, this time. DMM has pretty much ruined my enjoyment of the player (HDD120) and the third-party ones, while better, don't solve the fundamental issues that sour the whole experience.

VeX, but when compared to other 20gb with more or less the same features... it's quite expensive... the x5 20gb is 250$ yh-j70 is 250$ (i think) so those are much cheaper and with more features...

but yeah, with time i guess the 6330 will be cheaper then 300$
