[desiibond]

Thanks all for your inputs! A special thanks to desiibond. I have finally purchased COWON A3 60 GB. Waiting for the piece to arrive!

congrats buddy. Try to write a review at digit

Dude! I'm not good at reviews thing. I'm not so technical that I can give all the details. So I'm not sure if I can post a eview. but definitely will post my experience about it here.

I heard that the archos player was available in Nehru place.

can anyone tell me the price of its 30 and 60gb variants?

 

[ajayritik]

Does anyone here own a Cowon A3? I have couple of doubts on it?

 

[ajayritik]

Tough luck! My friend brought it but the customs people charged him 5k. It seems. So all plans of getting it for a less price flopped!

^^Just make sure he is not fooling you coz if the custom duty is charged, it is quite high, some 75%, check out the rules before paying him!!

 

[desiibond]

^^ can't say. If the customs officer is honest, it will be upto 75% tax. If he want the money to go into his pocket, he will take something like this.

The player costs $359. So I dont know how to calculate. So finally this cost me around 20k instead of around 15k. I hope its worth it. I went for this player based on the feedback given by the forum members here. I hope its worth the extra 5k which eventually I have to pay.

 

[desiibond]

^^^ don't worry buddy. you will be amazed by looking the the vidoes on the huge display and by the quality of the music.

One more suggestion. Rip your CD's to 320kbps instead of 128kbps. That makes huge difference.

 

[ajayritik]

I hope so desiibond! And one more thing I wanted to check is if it's possible to connect the player to TV and play the HD rips stored in it?

 

[desiibond]

yes. you should use the adapter to connect to TV's RCA ports (should come bundled with the player). That way, you will be able to watch videos on TV.

I personally suggest you go for a PSP plus memory card.

 

[desiibond]

^^hehehe.

 

[ajayritik]

I personally suggest you go for a PSP plus memory card.

dude I have already bought the PSP. I think 60 GB is sufficient with regards to space. I dont know why I would need a memory card again!

 

[ajayritik]

It's finally arrived! I picked up the Cowon A3 from my friend today. I will check out the features and let you all know about the same.

 

[ajayritik]

Does anyone have Cowon A3 or Cowon products here? I broke my LCD Screen. Do I need to contact Lipap systems which is located in Mumbai?

 

[desiibond]

afaik, Lipap have service center in Bangalore

You contact mumbai branch first and they will give you service center detail in your city.
