Did you buy the DMB version?
It should be right there on the main menu.
Which firmware did you upgrade it to? If you are using 2.41 then that is the English version which does not support DMB (D2s sold outside of Korea do not have DMB as it is strictly for Korean broadcast). Otherwise, you should go for 3.41b which does support your DMB D2.
What colour did you get and show us some pictures  |

Yes i did buy the dmb version.. It had it on the main screen until I made the fatal mistake of upgrading the english firmware.. went back to the korean firmware 3.41 I think but its still gone.. 3.41 Although I do have a dictionary now.. so now i have to figure out how to get the dmb back.
The only one they had was the lime green looking color.. It's starting to grow on me.. and I got the D2 4GB will see if I can get some pictures on here tonight. |

I had the exact same problem, downloaded the international firmware. Luckily I know enough Korean to find the 1.41 firmware on the Korean page. I kinda panicked when I couldn't find the DMB  So much hassle to remove the old stuff and get the proper firmware on there. But now that I got it working, it sure is a sweet little thing  |

I believe the DMB is free but right now you can only get it in Seoul and Busan. but expanding soon.
i know the newest version of firmware is 3.41 but it doesnt have the DMB.. |

There are 3 different firmwares for the D2 :
- 1.41 (for Korean D2s with DMB)
- 2.41 (for international D2s no DMB)
- 3.41 (for korean D2s no DMB) |

Yeah sorry I couldn't be of help as I don't have DMB on mine, do you actually watch korean TV? 
I recommend the crystal case for the D2 for a couple good reasons, it protects most of it from scratches except the screen. The other is skinning. You can insert a printout of something inside the case just like what some people have done to their PSP. Sounds gay I know but hey its there if you feel like customising its look. You can get this case at most places. Short of that, try the Cowon website. I have seen just one other case and that is about it.
Did yours come with a video cable? |

No it didnt come with a video cable.. I watch a little korean TV.. I dont have the service here in Changwon yet, but figured I would like to have the option to use it if i were say in Busan or Seoul...
I dont like the fact you cant delete anything without hooking it up to a computer. and some of the video the program converts is way too small.. |
