i've been aiming for either the iriver ifp390 (256MB) or the creative muvo� 1.5G (1.5GB) for a loooooooong time. the last time i check out the price at SLS is that the creative is selling at $320 and the iriver is selling at about $380. i have been reading up quite abit of the reviews for both players and here is what i can conclude: (those with a * means more superior than the other)

iriver ifp390:
- 256MB
- sleek design *
- uses 1 x AA battery *
- made in china
- built in radio *
- FLASH storage
- SNR 90dB
- sennheiser earphones *
- $380

creative muvo� 1.5G:
- 1.5GB = 1500MB *
- square design
- built in battery (removable)
- made in singapore * (awee! i love singapore!) =D
- no built in radio
- HDD storage
- SNR 98dB *
- creative earphones
- $320 *

so which is better? anyone using either of them care to tell me? -.-"
