Creative ZEN Review

Creative ZEN

The iPod nano is a great portable music player and has a real presence. However, with the ZEN, Creative has produced a brilliant player that covers all the bases and outperforms the nano in many aspects.

Check out Creative`s forum and then decide on the Zen..

When people have something to complain about they all jump onto forums to inform the whole world. Unfortunately the vast majority who's got great experiences with products are not as motivated to get onto forums to bring balance to one sided opinions (perceptions).

Example: I have a Nokia E90. I've had this phone for many months now and am very pleased with it - but if I based my purchase decision on what disgruntled owners said on forums like MySymbian (for example) I may never have acquired the phone. A small group of people made a huge noise ... but when one compared the number of repeat complainers (same people often complaining on multiple forums) with the number of E90's made and sold one could easily put things into perspective.

Most of mankind has a natural tendency to complain far more readily than give credit ... so one must process negative comments on forums with care. Compare the number of units sold with the number of complaints ... keeping in mind that most MP3 owners (if not all) will be online with easy access to forums. There will always be faulty products ... like exploding/burning iPod Touch's

Well said, BeVonk! As an E90 owner I agree with your sentiments specifically, but generally this is true as you say. Take an informed decision by reading people's comments, bad and good, make your decision, then live with it. Lotsa whingers around.
