So I got a Zune 30gb the first day they were out, needing a new player after Creative screwed up my Nomad by bricking it with an "essential" firmware update that they refused to support. For the first few weeks, I got a lot of people asking me what the hell it was. All users (including mac addicts whom were attached by the hip to their iPods) were overall impressed with its design and functionality.
So a few weeks after the "buzz" died down, I had a lot of people asking me where to get one (the price was the final selling point apparently).
Well..proud to say that a year + later, I have over 30 friends whom are PROUD Zune owners such as myself (which hey! Works out..cuz seriously..the "social" is only effective if you can actually use it). Most of which made the move from iPod to Zune after the 2.1 firmware switch, and they saw how my 1 year old Zune was just as good as the newer models, free of charge. Extra points to Microsoft for SMART customer care.
Lame story I suppose, but I am proud of the many Zunes I have connected to due to my endorsement
