Terrible Customer Service, and I don't even have it yet! February 28, 2008
Brutus
I ordered this awhile ago and it took them 3 days just to send me the UPS tracking information. When I clicked on the link the UPS site had the following error: "UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request." So I waited a day to make sure it wasn't a case of the number not being entered into the UPS system. Next day it still didn't work. br / br /I emailed Archos Customer Service and I still haven't gotten a response. I want my money back! This is unacceptable service. br / br /If you can buy the product in a brick and mortar store, buy it, but avoid the Archos site at all cost for anything other than product information.

If I had to do it over again I'd probably go with the 40G version just because of the problems others have had with the 80G. With that said though I've had no problems whatsoever. I've had mine about 8 months now. My main use is recording TV shows and then using the Archos on trips. The 2nd use would be as an MP3 player and I also use it as a portable hard drive. br / br /If this product were released right now I'd probably have to give it 4 stars, but considering it's almost 2 years old now I see it worthy of being 5 stars. Archos is way ahead of the competition in this market. br / br /Problems - br /All the problems I've had are very minor. br /1.) The battery life is not great. It's good for about 2 hours of video. br /2.) The screen is difficult to clean. Fingerprints wouldn't be such an issue if there was a case that had a clear cover so you could see the screen. br /3.) My biggest problem is with the playlists for music files. It's not easy to use. I never did figure out how to add a song to a playlist without creating a new playlist. I ended up taking all my songs off and organizing them in folders and then putting them back on the Archos. br / br /I won't list all the great things about Archos as I think they're pretty well known.
