I have been using Creative Zen vision W for more then 2 years now and its an amazing device for the proce range it is offered.
I own a 30GB version.
Since I own it, I must have seen more then 100 movies and loaded it with 1000s of songs and 100s of photos and slide shows. Its simply amazing.
It support lot of movie formats and song formats.
FM reciever is quite good if not fantastic.
The best part I liked and the reason for which I got this MP3 (MP4) player is the CF Card slot.
I am a hobby photographer, take lot of photos while travelling and there's always chance of loosing the data in CF cards due to data corruption or accidents/mishandling. And it is also not easy to carry a laptop all the time with you to download the images. One more solution can be to go to a cybercafe but why ristrict yourself when you can have a handy solution and that is Creative zen Vision W.
Though being little old technology its little slow in transferring the data from card to player, but it reliable. To transfer 4GB of data it takes around 20minutes (or more). But you can be rest assured that data is safe in there. Many other devices for image transffer and storage are available but are twice the price it is.
*However, I feel there are two important features missing in this player.
*1) FM recording: It does not allow you to record songs from FM, where as many lower models from creative have this feature.
2) There is no way you can access/view the USB drive partition on the player. For this you have to connect it to PC. But I think it should not be that difficult for the OS of the player to access it's own partition marked as USB.
But over all its a good package.
Battery life
