Duration of ownership:5 Months
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.

Duration of ownership:2 Months
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

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: DURABLE!!!!!!, great sound, amazing product
Weaknesses: None
Overall Evaluation: I have dropped this mp3; down 3 flights of stairs (all at the same time), into a muddy puddle, off a second story porch and it bounced off the pavement into a kiddy pool. I have also put this thing through a washing machine, it has been attacked twice by a dog, and once by a hyper two year old, and not to mention dropped by me hundreds of times! And after all of those things that would of put normal mp3s into a scrap heap, my mp3 works perfectly fine, and the only negative results of all the torture I put this thing through, is just a few tiny scratches on the screen.

Duration of ownership:2 Days
Strengths: Large screen, good sound quality and ease of use
Weaknesses: Some functions, especially the bookmarks are not intuitive
Overall Evaluation: This is another great mp3 player by Creative. I bought this for my wife to complement her Zen Nano since this has bookmarks. Does a good job with sound and pictures, and the size of the screen is especially nice for those with eyes over 50 years old!

Strengths: Small, easy to operate, has calendar & organizer
Weaknesses: Built in battery, weak battery life, locks up and freezes.
Overall Evaluation: This is not my first mp3 player from Creative so I think I've seen the best and the worst of both worlds. This player is the first Creative mp3 which is disappointing. The battery life is not anywhere near their advertised 15 hours of play time. If you play only mp3 without video, it only last maybe 8 hours, so it definitely disappointing to see that Creative it's slipping way down on quality and started to use marketing gimmicks in order to sell their products. Another big problem is that it uses an internal Li-Ion battery so if that dies you pretty much need to throw the player away. The battery is charged via the USB cable with no need for a charger but this is a problem since the charge time to full battery is very long and hence you'll need to let your computer/laptop on while it charges. Sound quality is OK but I've had players with better audio and one of it was an older, much cheaper Creative. Another problem is that sometimes the players freezes and you'll need a full drain of the battery to be able to bring it back to life. Other than that, the player is full of features, but the above problems seems enough for me to try getting another player and avoid the 2GB Creative Zen V Plus!

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: easy to operate,good sound quality
Weaknesses: too small,weak recording quality
Overall Evaluation: compared to my previcous mp3, this one has good sound quality but weak recording quality. The surface is plastic, making it not as fancy as it looks in the picture. it's easy to operate, and it has several system languages, which means much to me. the strange thing is my PC can not recgonize it through the USB, while it works out on other computers. I'm trying to fix this problem.
