I currently have the archos 5 IMT (160gig) unit. I’m happy with this one, except for a major detail. I can’t view any flash video unless it’s fired off into it’s own page. I’d like to know if this new Archos 5 (w/android) will do better? Otherwise there’s no reason for me to dump my current Archos 5, to get the Android Archos 5, unless that issue is resolved.

I purchased one of the predecessors to this device, the 605WiFi with 160GB Hard drive. Within one year the battery needed to be replaced. This was still under warranty but I had to send the device in. When I get the item back, It is missing a screw. I don’t make a thing about it but about 6 months later, the hard drive dies. They wont provide instruction on replacing the hard drive yourself and since it was out of warranty, they wanted over a hundred dollars to fix it. Or they would give you a cupon off the newer model. Since the devices don’t seem to have high quality materials and workmanship, I would not want to shell out more cash for something that will likely only last a year or two. Just not worth the money.
The devices usually only handle a minimum of file formats. If you want to play others, you have to spend money on plugins. I spent over $60 on plugins that are not transferable to a new unit. I also bought external battery pack and DVR unit, total over $100 dollars more. They are also not compatible with the newer devices.
Not worth the money.

Save your money, the product is not ready for the real world. Company support is terrible. It took two weeks to get a response and they couldn’t provide any advice. Their answer was to exchange the product with Amazon, which I did and the second sucks just as much as the first. No more useful than a smartphone.

Alright, lets get something straight people. The Archos 5 Android is a product out on the market for the non picky people. If your use to paying a large amount of cash for a device that currently changes every 3 months(Apple), stick with them. The Archos is more for the people who don’t expect the world in it. For the more people who are civilize, and dont get caught up on into the “HYPE” of these other bull “BEEP” products. The Archos devices has always been for the more Professional type people, who enjoyed viewing there documents on the go. who elso enjoy the massive storage space for an outstanding price. So for all those critics out there who cant handle the many features cause there mind is use to just handling the basic features of your normal every day MP3 players……….. please, give it a rest.
But on the other hand, the Archos 5 Android is SOOOOOOOOO HOT!

I HAVE OWNED LOTS OF MP3 PLAYERS, I HAVE OWNED A Few IPODs, some ZUNEs, and other brands and older archos. THE PROBLEM WITH THE NEW ARCHOS IS IT LOCKS UP OUT OF THE BOX BECAUSE IT HAS THE BUGGY OS THEY FIRST INTRODUCED. THERE IS A WAY TO FIX MOST OF THE FREEZING. YOU WILL NEED TO GO TO [...] AND DOWNLOAD THE NEWEST ARCHOS OS (operating system) The New One FIXES A LOT OF THE FREEZING, I SPOKE WITH AN ARCHOS REP AND HE SAID THEY WILL BE RELEASING A LOT OF OS UPGRADES EACH TIME THEY COME UP WITH A FIX THERE WILL BE ANOTHER OS UPDATE EITHER THE 3rd OR LAST WEEK OF NOVEMBER HE TOLD ME. SO TO OWNERS DONT RUSH BECAUSE THIS IS CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY, I HAD THE PREVIOUS ARCHOS AND IT WAS BUGGY AS WELL BUT EVIDENTIALLY AFTER DOWNLOADING ALL THE FIXES AND UPDATES THEY CAME OUT WITH OVER TIME IT BECAME THE BEST PLAYER I HAD TO DATE, IM REFERRING TO THE ARCHOS 5 250 GB ONE, SO GIVE THIS NEW ONE THE 500 GB TIME, BECAUSE IT WILL EVENTUALLY BE FIXED. AT LEAST YOU CAN UPDATE THE FIRMWARE ONLINE, SOME MP3 PLAYERS DON’T HAVE THAT OPTION WHERE YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE NEWEST FIRMWARE. I HAD A ZUNE AND I HAD TO BUY CONVERTER SOFTWARE FOR EVERYTHING WITH THE ARCHOS ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BUY THE HD PLUGIN AND JUST ABOUT ANY VIDEO FORMAT WORKS WITHOUT YOU HAVING TO CONVERT LIKE YOU HAVE TO DO WITH IPOD AND ZUNE. FOR THOSE WHO NEED HELP INSTALLING THE OS UPGRADE YOU CAN CALL ARCHOS AT [...]
