from where please?

Are you happy buying from eBay? I bought my second Zune from there, of course there's no warranty since it's not officially for sale outside the US yet. But eBay is a good way to buy stuff that's not available in your country.

If you don't mind an 829 that's 2 months old, and quite literally like new, not a single mark on it, I'm putting mine in the FS forum over the weekend. I got it from Amazon.co.uk and there's no volume limiter on it!

LOL!! Actually, I ordered the A726 4gb from Amazon.com and got my friend to ship it to the UK, but I thought I'd ordered the A728 (8gb). I paid $27 postage International Priority (they should re-word that lie, PRIORITY!!), and it's not worth sending back and getting another due to postage costs. I was going to keep the 8gb (which is big enough to fit my favourites on), and sell the 829 as I don't need the silly B/T!

Anyway, I'm going to sell the 726 on eBay, (the version without B/T), and keep the 829. Stupidly, I got the guy to take it out of the original packaging to cut down on shopping costs, worked like a charm... not! I do still love my baby, I was just going to swap it for a new smaller baby :)

So the BT function:No more than a gimmick???

I've never used it. I'm sure one day in the distant future, it might come in handy, but I don't know what for!

If we'd had the non B/T version available here, I'd have got it. I don't like paying extra for something I won't use. At the moment, all it does is get in the way of the volume slider :lol:

if BT phones gets cheaper and their quality is improved then if feel BT is a nice addition .

Stuge, that's a good point. I tend to think it I don't use/need it right now, then I'll never need it. Yeah, if the price of B/T phones comes down, and the quality is improved, then I'm future-proofed :)

Even then, you loose the cable, but you have to carry an extra battery, watch its level and recharge it separately. And you'll usually still have a cable joining the two earpieces and the battery.

Too me that seems a rather high price too pay to lose the cable, even if sound quality remains acceptable ;

I love using IEMs and just put the piece where the cables splits in the back of my shirt, the cable from the Y split down to the DAP doesn't hinder me at all that way, I don't even wear the cable around my ears (hate that).

The only cables that -slightly- bother me are the ones cominng from the earpieces and even with BT they usually will still be there (ore you'll get earpieces with their own battery and receiver, I think I'll prefer the cable, thanks) , so frankly, the advantages of 'wireless' headphones are not clear to me and so I don't care about BT in my DAP.

Ohhhh, I forgot about the battery. It kind of defeats the object of portability. I hate to carry any extras around with me.

And I wear the cable behind me too, so it's not a problem. And I guess maybe once BT phones are top quality with a minimum of 100 hours battery life (!!!), I'll have moved on to the 128 GB Sony :wave:

I bought the bluetooth adaptor for Walkman and the DTR BT22 headphones at a good price on ebay. I LOVE it, really pleased with the SQ despite what I've read on forums. The phones also pair with my K800i mobile which I am now using more and more as a multifunction device. I would argue that BT is more than just a gimmick.
