Me too. But you do realize we are in Korea? So, ordering it from abroad will cost you 20% in VAT, plus prolly another $50 for shipping, so the Zune will cost $350...and just checked, Amazon won't this product here. |

| Yeah The price is a little high for 32 gb's and I am happy with my 16 gb touch using simplify media to stream my 60+ gb library. Once hacked, the touch is sooo awesome. |

I ordered mine from ebay for about $225 + $30 for expedited shipping. I had in my hand within 7 business days.
I have ordered overseas for expensive products on several occassions and have never been charged an import fee. From what i understand we are allowed up to $300 import free per shipment, per person.
So this means if there is 2 names on the package, which in my case there often is because i live with my girlfriend, we can recieve $600 orders import free.
I even had a xbox 360 shipped over, with about 5 games, and a buch of extras shipped. All completely VAT free. |

Interesting...used? Since the boxed Zune 80's are selling for OVER list, bidding STARTING at $260-280 on eBay, and domestic shipping is usually about $19.
How do you like it? |

I love the Zune 80. Just a hair thicker than the ipod 80, but with a much bigger screen. The image is crisp and sharp. Works great for viewing photos, however i wish there was a way to rotate them (maybe there is but i haven't figured it out yet.). Also videos look good and are actually watchable, as opposed to the ipod 80 which leaves you with a migraine.
It is also really nice to be able to change the background display.
The Zune pad is a great design, which also makes the ipod scroll whell seem old and outdated.
The zune software seems to work well, easy to sync, and set-up. Looks nice on the eyes as well.
Im going to do a full review and post in in the tech forums along with some pics in the near future.
In the meanwhile i found some ebay links that are selling the Zune for under retail. I won mine in Auction style. Ya just gotta find one that will ship here to Korea. I had to ask quite a few sellers and had my eyes on the Zune for a while now. And BTW, yes I bought it new.
The links below are just a couple i found listed under retail as "buy it now" But i would recommend, find an auction style and shooting for a low bid.
The third link is slightly above retail, but will ship to Korea for $29.99.
If you have any other questions about the Zune i would be happy to answer them.

| Just a heads up for the OP, the iPhone and iPod touch prices are being reduced by $100 in the next two months. |

| I love my iPod Touch. Its only the 8GB version, but I find its plenty. I have about 4 gigs of music and that leaves enough room for a couple movies and some TV show episodes. It only takes a few minutes to delete the videos I already watched and copy over new ones. |

| How's the Zune 80's battery life? Is it comparable to the Ipod? That is rather important to me. |

| You can also stream all your tunes and your friends tunes via simplify media. It works great. |
