@lhassall: There maybe are quit a few sellers over here, but you wont see many people reviewing stuff and there are much members over here. Actually most of the active members are the ones that are involved with these kind of electronics and are because of that mostly sellers.
I think we need to get people more to this forum to tell about their products and I think your right about most sellers that they don't tell anything, but SkySports is not of that kind. He tells a lot about his experience with stuff and does much for it, as he also tolled in his post.
The reason why the T39 is almost the costs of a more famous brand (with less store space), is because it's got good hardware and quit expensive chip setts and it's not anymore produced for Teclast, maybe they are for Pasen but know idea. If you see the store of SkySports you see he first sold the 8gb T39 for 85 euro, the Pasen (that is ofcourse exactly the same) that came later to his store costed 99 euro.
I think your right about the software that can be better, but also the famous brands are not always 100% good with that. I don't say that's a reason to stop working on it and call it a day! no I think the have the responsebility
to make the firmware bug free, but it's their choise to add features or not.
The hardware is a special thing. No brand players are also sold here in stores, for example the toys stores. A big store as Mediamarkt sells them with a brand and they are most slightly better and not because of the hardware it's most because of the way they made the inside.
Most of these no brand players over here are stil the ones with the old Action chip and they are cheap to produce and to buy, but it's logical then you can expect a faster break down, defenately if it's a no brand because of the way they usually solderred it.
So that's why I don't buy these players, that there are still sellers.... I think that's their choise but they also have the problems with it if the players keep on breaking......
@SkySports: Yeah you said that to many times that the C series are better, but I like the design and the touchscreen of the T39 so much
So I'm not talking the problems good! I hope that the firmware will be bug free once. Their firmware version 1.30 is crapier than the 1.29 so I have still hope.
