got this one from akihabaranews

[bradavon]

Thanks.

LOL you gotta love the cons!

[Darkroom]

Better screen that H300? I think it is a typo.
doesn't matter to me, anyway, as I'm only shopping for sound.

Which brings me to one thing that drives me raging mad when I read reviews: 90% of time the reviews don't even mention sound quality. I guess for them it is a fashion piece, but for a bunch of us the A in DAP stands for Audio, not Accessory.

(To be fair, I am not expecting audio quality statements in a review that was whipped up in one day ... it does take a while of listening b4 one can make definitive statemnts)

[bradavon]

I don't think it's a typo. He/she mentions it more than once. I'm sure eXity or someone else here said the screen is sharper on the X5 but of course it's smaller.

I think it's written by someone who English is their second langauge which may explain it.

[Darkroom]

Yeah... Should be good news to those who have been wondering about the screen, that once you hold X5 in your hand, it looks good. Then it doesn't really matter how it compares to anything else.

[korinengell]

Yeah thanks Kidkirby, that's not a bad little movie.

[Fido]

The screen has a lower resolution but a higher refresh rate.

[Kidkirby]

i cant wait to get the x5...credit card is primed to be chachinged!
i agree with darksound..i wish more feviews focused on the sound
when it comes down to it...thats what really matters :)

[bradavon]

Yeah thanks Kidkirby, that's not a bad little movie.
What movie?

[Woeberland]

Wooha!
That video makes me feel like I could nearly touch it already. Seems much smaller and more leightweight than I thought.
