I bought one unit and was amazed with its size, technical specs, etc.
however, when I started to use it, I realized that the battery got uncharged without using the device. For example, I used to go to work with the mp3 using it for 30 min. After 8 hours working when I went out the MP3 was completely uncharged and had no power even to show characters in the display.
I went to the mall where i bought it and the gave me a NEW UNIT, and guess what... happened exactly the same. Surfing the internet, i realized that this problem concerns to many more users. The Creative web site do not reply the messages that you drop there and the only thing that you can do is to update de firmware. I UPDATED THE FIRMWARE to the latest release, but the problem still persists.
Finally, I went again to the mall and fortunately they refunded me the money. Now i will invest this money in an Ipod :-)
Creative knows that the Zen Micro has a dramatic desing error in its electronics, but they prefered to release it to the market anyway. I just don't want other users to suffer the same problems. |

Well my boyfriend just got a zen micro. He got a special edition version with a double battery and stuff though....
Weve had no problems whatsoever witht he battery. I like the fact that when you dock it in to the usb it charges too.
But you are meant to drain it completely before you charge it up to the top again....if you dont then it will always have problems...maybe thats what happened?
Also theres a batt saving switch which will switch it off so you dont use too much battery.
I think its a really good little mp3 player, and have had no problems at all with it.
