X5 vs iPod Mini vs Creative Zen Vision M

[Track_Runner]

Hi all. This is my first time posting here on these forums. I just need a little help.

I am in the market for a new mp3 player, and I have all but narrowed it down to the X5. I have an iPod mini right now, and have for the past 2 years. Right now, the battery is crap. I get about 45 mins. So I think the 14 hours of the X5 is great.

So here is my question. How does the X5 compare to the iPod mini as far as size? How much taller, wider, thicker is it? Also, I have fairly big hands. Is the X5 comfortable to hold? I don't know of anyplace around me that carries it, so I can't really go to a store to check it out.

Also, I know this is a Cowon forum, but have any of you guys tried the Creative Zen Vision M? Can you compare that to the iPod too?

Thanks in advance

if 30gb is enough for you, 35 hours on the x5l is even better.

it's close to the size of a deck of cards or a cassette tape. i think it's bigger than the mini, but it's still a fairly small device to me.

yes. it's got good weight to it too, feels like quality.
