Well I've ordered a MH900 so I'll have a look at that, and then decide which one I'll return. The NH1 is a superb player, but I'm thinking that I'll find the 900 easier to use. The NH1's remote is great, but I'd rather have less wires dangling around, and direct control on the unit, a la, dare I say, an iPod, or my old N710. If only the 900 was made of magnesium, and had the NH1 remote for occasional use . . BTW BobT, love the DS car! Andrew

I got my NH-1 from amazon.co.uk yesterday, and its absolutely the biz! I had doubts about upgrading from my MZN710(see 2nd post in this thread), but these doubts evaporated as soon as I opened the box. The NH-1 is a thing of great beauty! The menu system took a little working out, and the tiny 'joystick' control is neat but maybe too small for big fingers, but I've got it all worked out now. The sound quality seems better than my 710 too, maybe helped by the Sennheiser MX500 earphones I've bought. And the unit works more 'smoothly' than the 710. For the £109 I paid, its fantastic. Very recommended by me at least.

I certainly haven't had your bad luck with my MZ-N710 which has worked perfectly (and someone at my office has dropped hers a couple of times with no ill effects!). I've just ordered a new Hi-MD MZ-NH1 from amazon, and I'm wondering if I've made the right decision? Is it worth trading up? Will the NH1 really offer me more than my trusty N710? And then, should I have gone for a Creative Zen Micro?? Any thoughts, anyone? Andrew
