rohangc,
But I've pretty much decided upon the Kharma. Now I'm just left to finish up with the money situation and I'll be set!

Hey Phate. I am glad you are getting yourself a Karma. I am sure you will enjoy it. However, I very, very, very highly recommend that you buy an extended warranty. The cheapest deals AFAIK are at BestBuy.com You can buy a Karma for $200 and an extended warranty will cost you about $30 more.
Don't get me wrong, a Karma is a great player (I love mine and it has worked well without any problems) but the technology behind any Digital Audio Player is new and hence one might face problems.
Once you buy a Karma, you can get either
screen protectors or a
case to protect your Karma from scratches and shocks. In fact, since these things take a while to ship, I suggest you order these before you get your Karma so that your Karma will be protected from the moment it comes out of its box.
Let me know (PM me) when you get your Karma. Bye.
