Strengths: ZERO!!!
Weaknesses: BEWARE
The LCD went black after about three weeks.
Cons: Only three month ""warranty"" on parts. I purchased it in October as a Christmas gift for my daughter. By the time the LCD went black, it was already out of warranty and Creative wants thirty bucks PLUS SHIPPING just for the PRIVILEGE OF SENDING IT BACK!
Overall Evaluation: I will never purchase another Creative product again.
Lesson learned: Always read the warranty before spending your hard earned bucks. Creative sucks.

Strengths: Small, sleek, easy to use, large memory for it's size, FM tuner built in.
Weaknesses:None
Overall Evaluation: I purchased this after my other MP3 went belly up. (got accidentally EMP'ed in the lab) It has just about everything the ipod has except cheaper. I was thinking of going ipod but when I realized Zen does NOT have the compatability issues that apple has I went for it. The audio books are easy to use (despite other reviews) as all you have to do is press the center joystick in to go to "chapter select mode" to jump between chapters and there is a bookmark feature. Battery life is excellent and won't leave you high and dry unless you listen to it for +15 hours. (ie the entire time you're awake)

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Easy to work, fairly good sound
Weaknesses:Impossible to see this player when you're in the sunlight. Player freezes up often. Battery charge does not last very long.
Overall Evaluation: Received this as a Christmas gift. Like it, overall. Biggest disadvantage is trying to see the screen when out in direct sunlight. That is a real disadvantage, especially when you compare it to an IPOD. Player freezes very often and has to be reset. Battery needs to constantly recharge. I need to recharge every 4 - 5 hours.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Great Screen, easy to use interface, actual volume buttons, easy to use, very small and light, Stellar sound quality
Weaknesses:Feels a bit cheap, hard for people with small hands to use, freezes periodically, but not a problem thanks to a reset button
Overall Evaluation: I have had this player for over a year now and still works extremely well. I love the sound quality on this, better than any other mp3 player i have used. It is also great to have such a small and light player that i can put in my pocket and forget about. It is very easy to use but it may be hard to us the joystick control with gloves or big hands. Great player overall and i would definitely recommend it
Review:
Creative Zen V Plus
Flash-based player is a strong rival to Apple's iPod Nano.
Say what you will about the patent dispute between Creative and Apple, both companies make some darned good MP3 players. Creative's latest effort--the Zen V line of flash-based player--is aimed right at Apple's popular iPod Nano line. And judging by the 2GB, $170 Zen V Plus I tested, it offers some serious competition to the Nano.
