Good Points

Well...firstly, I only payed £64.99 for my zen because it was on sale from Argos! when I first got home with it, I installed the CD-Rom which comes with it, and this makes the whole 'music selection' process a lot easier. A really good highlight from this MP3 player rather than its closest counter-part, the ipod nano, is that this MP3 has music capability, video, radio, photo, AND zen casts (like a podcast but for zen's).

Bad Points

Music quality isn't the best, but isn't the worst.
The joystick on the front feels cheap, even though it does work fine.
You HAVE to buy new headphones for it...the headphones that come wth creative products, in my opinion, are the MOST uncomfortable things ever.
It take ages to charge up the battery, because it take 6 hours to charge from your PC (but you can buy a mains power socket charger which charges the zen up a lot quicker.)

General Comments

In my opinion, the Creative Zen V is a very good purchase....only if its on sale though...
