thanks guys glad you enjoyed it! Basically I thought this player was decent, however it could have been so much more. The screen is really nice, very sharp and clear (best i've seen on a chinese dap by miles) and the sound is amazing too (microsoft playfx really helps). Unfortunately Ramos have not released any firmware updates yet and are being very slow about it. As I said in the review I don't feel the firmware has been very well thought out (playback screen is poorly designed) and I think this player was rushed to market as well, although the hardware seems good and has great potential, particularly at handling (and downscaling) video above QVGA an VGA resolutions. Personally I would not choose this player myself as I feel the firmware needs a lot of work and I see no guarentees that ramos will deliver it, although I am quite pedantic. I think that with the new chipset used, it needs time for firmware programmers to get a proper grasp of it before we start seeing well thought out interfaces using this chipset. If I had to buy a chinese player now (as an all round media player) I would go for Smart Q's T5 II.

I own the original T5 and I presume this will be even better. While it only has a QVGA res screen (320x240), (which is not wide screen either) and the downscaling will not be as good as the Ramos, what you do get with SmartQ is solid firmware, frequent updates, video/audio formats that actually play properly, emulators and most important of all, good battery life. The T5/T5 II are definitely not as beautiful as the Ramos RM970, but they function a lot better.
