i assume holding off a product because of buggy firmware is a cheap trick to avoid support tickets

What! Yeah well no duh i don't want to deal with a player that has a lot of bugs and don't want to unnecessarily deal with angry customers, if i wanted to make a quick buck i would have already churned this out or started a presale, i am in no rush. Not sure how thats a 'cheap selling trick' rather a smart move to do.

Also sorry but none of the other players had a buggy firmware like this has, comeon half the time the UI isn't properly aligned. I learned my lesson on the OS-43, i rather wait for a little longer than jump on in.

i would only find it a bit strange because this player has been out for a month and already sold a lot, making hardware changes now would be a complete turnaround,

Really, because they did it with the orginal S:Flo and T50, thats why there was a firmware loading issue between the first batch and subsequent batches.

screen align is solved with new firmware, other bugs occur (of course), that's the way it always goes but even with stock factory firmware, i think the T51/s:flo 2 surpasses the T50/s:flo, none of that autopilot, phase out, freezes or anything along that line

Ok, I can see chim0's point, here...

He's pissed off because the T51 wasn't an Ipod Touch, and he want's everybody to jump into the same boat, then he'll not sink alone in the sea of the quicky ones!

lol

Come on, chim0! Go buy your god damn Ipod Touch and be happy once and for all! (well, I doubt i, but at least you will try...)

:P

ya know I'm not sure about the touches, but I just recently found out the original style iPods and the original Zune used Wolfson Audio chips.

Hey Raz, how big do you think an order would have to be to give those factories cause to custom design or at least custom repair a player design?

I still applaud you waiting,Raz.Thanks for not trying to make a quick buck on the hype on this one.Chimo,you jumped,and you have to deal with the consequences....hopefully it will improve.

have you forgot about all previous nationite players full of unsorted bugs which are now EOL? thought so too.. how many people "jumped" the first s:flo? sorry dragon, but have to disagree with you there, especially you being here a long time should know by now chinese players are always a jump and never finished

i love the SQ on this player, can't beat it, it's just the firmware which needs sorting, i don't expect other improvements/changes
