Review

The good:
- New scratch-resistant aluminum body
- Available in a variety of bright and shiny colours
- Still superslender but more durable, thanks to seamless construction
- Supports photos (with thumbnail grid) and album art
- Great sound quality
The bad:
- Still doesn't play video, not that you'd want to watch it on the small screen
- No built-in FM tuner or recording capability
- Not all colour options are available for all memory sizes
