| davidavid237's Full Review: Creative Technology Rhomba (256 MB) MP3 Player |
I was given the 256mb Rhomba as a gift. Like other reviewers I had some issues with my unit at first.
It wouldn't save FM presets, for instance. I contacted Creative Customer Service through their website, and although I have no proof of purchase they responded to my problem within 24 hours via email. Their suggestion was to download the current firmware update from the website.
I carefully followed the instructions for downloading and installing the new firmware, and these processes went flawlessly.
With its new firmware, my Rhomba has been working excellently - with nearly daily use - for several months.
I am a runner, and I usually jog holding the unit in one hand. It's light enough that I tend to hardly even remember I'm holding it, and all the controls are easily accessible in my hand.
I would definitely recommend this product, and I'm apt to purchase from Creative again.
