Exclamation Zune 120gb


Does anyone own a 120gigs?? I'm thinking about trading my 30gigs for a new 120....I'm not sure about it though, sure it has more memory but for some reason the older one looks sturdier and solid I'm not sure about the new ones.
Any thoughts or imputs? I would appreciate it

The new ones aren't as amazingly tank-like as the old 30's, but they still handle abuse well. Also, the screen is more scratch resistant. However, the front is more likely to get minor scratches that ruin the luster because of the glossy finish. However, that has no bearing on the overall durability of the device.

The 30 is your best bet for Tank like Device, I lke the 120, I have used them and they are like a mixture of both the 30 and 80, If you want more space, go for it. But if you want durability stick with the 30.

you should upgrade if you need more memory, a bigger screen, and wanting to use a touchpad. if you don't want any of those, stay with the zune 30gb.

Technology improve overtime, which means the old stuff will get cheaper, you only paid around $20-$30 more than before, which it isn't much to be considering you got ripped.

I just got my Zune 120 two days ago. I've been treating it better than a baby, though... At least until its invisibleSHIELD gets here...

Go for the 120, to me the 30 is just too bulky, I mean I can still put my 80 in my pocket, but its not that comfortable if you're going to be walking lots or sitting down.

i have an 80gb and i'm just assuming that the 80's and 120's are built the same except for the capacity of the hard drive. but in answer to your question they are very durable. i would buy a case though just to be safe.
hope this helps
