zune hd is a sensational music player... much better than ipods.
screen is amazing, best there is.
Zune software is a joy after itunes.
apps.... not so good. Lots of unofficial apps but not many from MS as of yet. This will improve in the next 12 months though. |
kowenicki, since you're from the UK, may I ask a question?
Are you able to log into Zune marketplace? If I try to log in from the Zune Software on my PC, I always get the error message "Sorry, can't sign in right now". I'm afraid that's because of my IP address which is not from the US (I have imported a Zune HD and changed everything to US English on my Windows, so I'm out of ideas how to solve this problem). I was able to download firmware 4.5, though.
@OP: If you don't need apps, Zune HD gets my full recommendation.

You have to change your regional setting to US... that worked for me. But this has to be done before you start the zune software... if you ran the zune setup before you changed location then you will need to do it again once the PC is US region .
If you want toi download anything such as apps then you will need to set up a Windows Live account with a US location.
This page is helpful... http://bbits.co.uk/blog/archive/2009/09/20/using-the-zune-hd-in-the-uk.aspx
Incidentally... this could all be academic as the Zune marketplace launches in the UK sometime this year in readiness for 7 phones (and possible Zune players)

Thanks, I'll take a look at that blog...
Problem is that I used to be able to log in, but now I always get that error message, even though I didn't change any system settings.
