Which is the choice?
I'm not brand oriented, so i usually go for something that's gets the most for my money, here's the list of players that's pretty good right now for the money:
Meizu M6 4GB: 99 + 5 shipping @ walgreen = 105 (need a silicone case ~10 bucks added) 29 bucks per GB
Meizu M6 8GB: 175 + 8 shipping @ JTC Electronics = 183 (including accesories such as silicone case which i think is a need, also has a crystal case ect.. accesories packages) (23 bucks per GB)
Meizu M6SE 8GB: 165 + 8 shipping @ JTC Electronics = 173 (this is an assumption because it's retail price announce is exactly the price of the M6 right now, due out the end of this year) (23 bucks per GB)
Teclast T29 8GB: 124 + 8 shipping @ JTC Electronics = 132 (will need earphone) (18 bucks per GB)
Teclast T39 4GB: 140 + 20 shipping @ houseofdpa = 160 (will need earphone)
Teclast T39 4GB: 140 + 5 shipping @ futuredpa = 145 (will need earphone) (40 bucks per GB)
Teclast T39 8GB: 160 + 5 shipping @ futuredpa = 165 (will need earphone, and only place i've found selling the 8GB version) (21 bucks per GB)
Right now those are the best deals i've found for new players, I don't know why houseofdpa did not give me the cheap shipping option (it's mail by air, so it's much faster, but cost a bit more), their price is the same as everyone else on the item.
From my experience with portable devices, you'll need to have these essential item: so if the player don't go with it, we need to factor in the cost
cheap but ok sounding earphones, at the very least something like the EP480 from creative, they're like 5-10 bucks a pop, but feels good on the ear and doesn't sound like radio. i'll put down 10 for this, i step on so many of my earphone, i rather have cheap one that wont' hurt me when i step on it.
Silicon Case/hardcase: this might seems like a good for nothing item, but trust me, the 1st scratch you have you'll feel so stupid for not having one, i put one on all portable items. cost about 10 per cover
right now standing in term of price cheapest to highest:
my rating starting @ 10 points: 5 points for video playing, 2 points for interface, and 3 points for audio playing, 1 additional point for any extra feature (micro card add on, ect...)
8GB T29: This one is cheap, but the screen is only 2" (-3), which means playing video is gonna suck, further more i do not like the clicking joystick, makes me feel uneasy, the navigation/interface of Teclast is never been good (-1), for the price i give it (+1). Total 7 points
8GB T39: same as above, the GUI suck, + the american version is having issue with firmware/button right now, (-2, unless they fix it), touch screen + 2.6" screen (+1), out of the 3 player, this hold the standard for video playing, it produce the highest fps playback. Total 9 points
8GB meizu: 2.4" screen, video playback is not good, low frame rate and sync problem is what alot have been experiencing (-2). Good menu (-0), touchstrip (+1). but it also has the highest price (-1). total 8 points
From the look of it, the T39 looks best, but for some reason i still feel safer with the meizu, i'm waiting for the M6 SE and see how it'll turn out. What do you all think?
