LOL.

I can now prove my boyfriend wrong. He says that his iPod Touch won't crack even a little if I throw across the room and let it hit the wall, but my Zune will break easily if it hits the floor. His screen is made of glass, Zune isn't.

For example, if I were to listen to certain music, the device would freeze instantly. Sometime it would seem to be playing as the time would continue going, but the device would not respond to any of the buttons instantly. I was quite mad I couldn't listen to my favorite songs and moved onto listening to Winamp on my PC (these months were Summer Break.. not much of an outdoor person..) Also, one of my friends is... or was a Zune owner until he was listening to his in bed and the Zune fell, giving him the 'Zune Support' screen.

Okay. So, one day, I got really mad. Not like Hulk-mad. I just really hated my Zune acting slow. I'd find myself CONSTANTLY restarting it (hold back, up and circle button. It's whats been working for me.) and this day really got to me. So.. I threw it about 3 feet away from me on my computer desk. I picked it up, and now it's telling me to call Zune Support. I called, Mexcian accent dude was telling me that they were sending a box for me to send it in after telling me to do some other method which failed.

Got a NEW Zune after about... a month and a half sent to me from where ever I sent mine to. Included instructions about what to do and what they did. Basically, they literally gave me a new Zune. Not mine. I confirmed this as of the new number on the back they told me to register or confirmed they registered and the screen was crystal clear, the Zune felt brand new like out of the box, and it was smoother than my acne infested skin. Ah. I feel in love again.

Unfortunately and just recently, I dropped it again after misplacing it in my lap getting up to get a haircut one day and it falls on a slippery floor. Now, I tried listening to all of my newly added songs and they gave the same symptoms my old Zune had... but only with recently added material. My pictures load slower as it takes longer to access the hard drive to show the pictures and I haven't tried looking at videos.

Honestly, I loved my Zune. Its getting me through this hell of an educational facility they call 'High School' and I'm not getting an iPod. My warrenty is gone and buying another one online (as of my knowledge is the only place to renew it) is not happening because of a recent credit card scam. I was /wrists when I saw the title for this thread because I wanna know where the hell all of you are getting your Zunes.

Sounds farmiliar. My Zune, not only a little sluggish, but it shuts off at high volumes... I don't know if that's from the volume too high (which would really be undurable internally) or maybe the two minor drops.

I find though, that re-syncing all content works a little. Kinda like defrag

Do have an odd textured scratch from the orig. earbuds though...

You are lucky my friend.

I was running one day and lo and behold, my Zune dropped out of my hand. Well, it had a lot of velocity behind it, and I was running on cement.

The damage? Case popped open (easy to fix), and 2 small scratches.

Works like a charm still
