Love this product!.......2007-12-21
I've had my Zen for 7 months now and absolutely love it.
PICTURE: The picture quality is amazingly crisp and clear. The widescreen on this player really adds to the quality as well. When you convert a movie using the included software you will never lose any of the video quality in conversion. With this picture you are able to see a clear picture no matter what angle you have the player at. Another cool thing when you are watching a movie is when you pause, stop or shut off your player, when you turn it back on and go back on that movie it will be where you left off.
MEMORY: I have 27 full length movies on there, 1 one hour show, 92 podcasts, 249 songs and 185 photos and I still have 8739 MB of space out of my 30 GBs. It has a slot you can add a seperately sold attachment for a memory card reader, but I have no clue why you would ever need the extra space. I'm not sure if you could add photos using those cards or not, but I believe you can because there is a setting for copy from card.
SOUND: The volume goes up to 25 and is plenty loud enough when your in a room with not a lot of noise (I have 5 boys so quiet to me isn't the same as silence). When using headpones you will often need to turn the volume down because it gets extrememly loud. I've tried many other headphones and can not find any that compare to the sound of the ones that came with my player. While in the car I hook up an FM transmiter (Walmart for $20) and can hear the movies through the car stereo. This is a favorite for the kids to watch movies.
EXTRAS: There is a date and time setting, which includes an alarm. Under organizer there is a calendar that you can add events and scroll through years up to 2037! There is a tasks section seperate from the calendar as well and an address book. Also in the extras section is a removable device that says you can configure a portion of the drive to be used as portable storage. I have not used this feature though. Although not in the extra section there is a microphone setting that allows you to record voice. I have used this for things like lists and such and the kids singing, but not sure if it would do well with lectures and such since I have only done recordings close up. They worked wonderful for me. This player also has a FM Radio that uses the headphones as an antenna, which you must have plugged in for the radio to work.
BATTERY: The battery on this player has yet to let me down. Just the other not I watched two full length movies before it ran out and even then it didn't start out with a completely full charge. The AC cord that is included works great and you are able to watch the movies while it is charging. There is a lock on the power button that will save battery life while watching movies.
NEGATIVES: There are very few negatives I have found with this player. When fast forwarding or rewinding a video you can not see where the video is at to know when to stop. I've learned to pay attention to the minute and second counter when I do this. Another negative is when adding calendar appointments you must do this through your computer. You can not just go and add from your player. You can use the recorder section to remind yourself of the things you need to remind yourself to add. The only other negative is that it takes some time to convert movies for your player. I get it going on the computer at night then go to bed, so I'm really not sure the exact time it takes. When I first got the player we did one while waiting and it seemed like forever.
Not a single one of these negatives would deter me from buying this product and I would most certainly recommend this to anyone and everyone...and I do. I show this off to everyone I know and they are always very impressed.
My husband bought this for me for my birthday after doing extensive research. He uses the reviews on Amazon for many things he researches, so I hope this review helps someone else in their quest for a wonderful portable media player.
so glad i didnt get that other thing.......2007-12-13
Before the CZVW, I used a combination of my cellphone [512 MB] and a cd player to get musical entertainment while i walked, waited, washed dishes, settled down for a nap, etc. It got to be a drag, because I found that I wanted every piece of music that I owned all on one lil thing. I had my laptop, but it's terribly inconvenient. When it came down to choice, I was leaning more towards the ipod, then I remembered reading something about Creative, Inc having a few products that are amazing. It's been about a month since I ordered my CZVW, and I must say that it is the most amazing little machine I have. It is everything I've ever wanted and I'd be foolish to ask for more.
A GREAT product!.......2007-12-12
I've purchased 2 of these (the first one was stolen and I only lasted 2 days before I had to buy a new one) and couldn't live without one. My daily bus commute of 1 hr. each way is a JOY now. The picture quality is terrific, battery time great, and it has plenty of neat easy-to-use features.
Creative Zen Vision W.......2007-12-08
I love my Zen Vision W. I have copied 130 short movies, 3500 songs, and hundreds of pictures onto it and still have 10 GB left to fill! It is easy to navigate through the menus and has good sound. I also like the built-in speaker for times when I don't feel like putting on my headphones. The viewable screen area is only 3 3/4 inches wide, not 4.3 inches, but it is still impressive.
Don't buy Creative Zen product.......2007-12-05
I bought Creative Zen PMC in November 2005. It stops working last month because of the battery swelling up. I have to break the battery door to get it out. I am afraid that it will explode and contact the company.
Response from Creative:
Unfortunately, your Zen PMC is no longer in warranty. This product is ending it's service life and has been replaced with newer and more feature rich products. We are no longer maintaining PMC stock or accessories stock in either retail or repair channels.
The most that I'm going to be able to offer to you is a 20% discount on the purchase of a new product.

Customer Reviews:
BEARCAT SCANNER.......2007-10-04
Overall this is a phenominal product. I gave it 4 stars not based on the product, or the products capabilities, but rather the idiot behind this message. I love listening to what going on in town or out and about while travelling, yet for the life of me I can't figure out all the buttons. Shame on me! Don't let that stop you if you're an advid radio techie, this thing rocks!
trakerIII 250 channels .......2007-09-29
bear cat scanners are a good scaner i get a lot of enjoyment out of it and listen to it alot the from amazon is exellent ups dellivered with in six days great place to buy
Analog Scanner.......2007-07-22
While the Uniden Bearcat BCT8 Warning System may be a great scanner and received mostly great reviews, it was not made clear that this is an analog scanner and will not pick up transmissions made in digital mode.
Unfortunately, it was after my 30-day return period had passed that I learned the reason I was having trouble picking up local transmissions was that my local public service agencies broadcast digitally. So a word of caution to prospective buyers, make sure how your local agencies are broadcasting and choose your scanner appropriately.
Great item my husband loves it.......2007-07-16
I bought this for my husband for fathers day after reading reviews. He loves it and it works great. I am sure anyone who gets it will love it.
Almost there.......2007-06-01
The radio works good, but has one big flaw. The only search function divides the frequency spectrum into 13 bands, some of which are quite large and take a long time to go through. The chance of missing a short transmission is therefore also quite large.
I don't understand why they didn't include a function that existed on my 30 year old Pro-2020 and just about every other scanner, which is to enter in an arbitrary search range.
Too bad. I like the unit otherwise, but it's going to be returned for this reason.
