Well, surprise, surprise... It's working well!!! *pearl keeps her other hand on a block of wood as she is saying this*

The 30GB size notwithstanding, the image quality for the videos is astounding! Very crisp clear images. So far I have 912 songs, 7 short clips, and 3 full 2-hours videos (including 1 Wallace and Gromit and 4 episodes of Korean drama Love Letter) in the player and there is still slightly less than half the size left for more goodies. My wallpaper is the official Seo Dong Yo wallpaper resized to fit the screen with excellent clarity, the player doesn't blackout even if u let it run, and the images and words are still visible under sunlight, unlike my previous problematic player. I'm pleased with it so far and I hope it stays this way. And it is no longer touch buttons, except for the volume and scrolling feature, so the selection is more positive. Only complaint is that the player tends to physically compress the videos, which makes the people inside look fatter than they are. And yah, one other complaint is that I can't upload DVD videos onto the player. But doesn't bother me too much now. Man, the more I use this one the more I'm grateful for that salesperson who got me such a good deal.

Please please let everything be well with this player!!!
