I bought the previous version that was a 256mb. I literally bought mine while in China and it worked fine. Nothing fancy and the quality was okay. But, after many months and many hours of listening, the screen would work, but only intermittently. Sometimes it would turn on, but most times it would not. I memorized the button sequence to play songs, and get past the intial new battery phase, but it is quite an inconvienience. I can't say if this is an isolated case or not, but just a heads up!
