G3 pics and quick impressions

[JMyungRocks]

Just got mu G-3 today, and I am pretty impressed. Build quality is great ! and the unit plays ogg files flawlessly . Sound is on par with U2 and the volume step up seems a little smoother, with less distortion.

The joystick is really stiff and doesn't feel as spongy or responsive as my u2, however I can see this getting better with time , its just you have to hit it twice smetimes and with the u2 you don't . If it gets worse I will contact cowon.

Too early for battery time , as I just got it , but I expect some serious playtime. All in all a very nice unit and it looks better in person (of course). more to follow enjoy the pics!

Update!!, besides having much touble with the joystick- took 4 or 5 jogs to the right to move over in the menu..... My unit is totally dead! , I tried reinserting the battery and putting a new one in ? with no luck, There isn't any reset button .. so back to jet audio you will go.

I know this is probably a rare thing, but the fact that I hated the joystick so much I think I will just exchange for a 1 gig u2 or wait for i5 . Shame it really was nice.:(

:( I'm really sorry to hear that! It's really weird the G3 hasn't got a reset button. I've read some other people were also having troubles with crashes and freezing G3's
Hope you'll get a better one back!

Im getting a refund , and probably going to get an i5 when they come.

My G3 has been great so far. I hope the I5 works out for you. I have my iAUDIO all loaded up with Dream Theater music, I'm sure you'l do the same.
