X5 Qs
raybert:
So, it appears that my old Archos JBFMR has died and I'm looking around at my options.
I really like a lot about the X5 and it looks like I'm probably gonna buy one. I have a couple of questions about it:
1) Any opinions on whether it might be possible to upgrade the battery in the X5 to be >= the one in the X5L ? Yes, I realize I could just buy an X5L, however, I need more than 30GB and that's the largest X5L I can find.
2) Any opinions on whether it might be possible to upgrade the hard disk in the X5 to a larger one? My JBFMR has a 40GB HDD in it now and it seems that I could save ~$100 by buying the 20GB X5 (vs the 60GB) and installing the HDD from my JBFMR.
3) Any opinions on the remote? Is it worth buying?
Thanks in advance!

1.) Yea,same. I couldn't find anything...
Check with the place that i bought mine from...

2.) There has been talk of this somewhere - tho if i remember rightly,the size of the HHD is bigger hence it wouldn't fit in the casing....Then Iaudio fiurmware wouldn't work because the drivers...
3.) I don't see the point in them, but i know people that say they are brill...
My reason for thinking it is because, why can't you just shove your hand in your pocket, and press the buttons without looking? Its not hard, once you know the button layout....

The X5 60GB has a bigger HDD, so there's no room in the casing for both the HDD and an extended battery.
I went for battery, btw.
MessUP:
Yea. i did to. With the iaudio on it - it does get close to 35 hours....
Do you really need 60GB of music? I mean with you all the time in your pocket...
i got an 20GB X5L, and thats 5000 ish songs on it- and i don't need to be carry them around! You just have to leave some on the computer...
When you compress a DVD to play on it - Most of mine are under 200mb - thats about 1 hour and a half of video and sound
So basicly - why do you want 60GB - your not running a pc in your pocket! xD

I'm thinking it might be useful in the car. I guess I won't really know until I try it though. I bought an X5 last night and I decided to get the remote also. I figure that, if I don't buy it now, I'll probably regret not getting it at some point down the road and, with my luck, they won't be available anymore...
