Cowon V5: To Buy, or not to buy?
killazys:
Hoho. So kind of off-topic, but still tech related. We upgraded our internet to a 35/35 mbit line, but the router given to us by verizon is really bad wireless-G crap. So my laptop can't make use of this and torrent lightning fast like I want to. There are three solutions: move to a room with ethernet, wire ethernet to my room, or get a better router. Would do the third, but we have 2-year contract with Verizon TV which requires the coax cable from this specific router. Pretty crap. An ethernet wire to my room would probably be expensive, at least over $150 for drilling holes and that stuff. (Router/connection on opposite side of house one floor below).
Is that connection more important than a media player? O_O
and yes, i know the V5 isn't bad^^ cept that price.

Are you sure it's a router? or a cable modem? You should be able to connect a cable modem to a router.
But I dunno... The V5 for sure is badass, but depends how much you really need a pmp over internet connection.

Did it.
Bought the Cowon V5 32GB, a 32GB SDHC card and a pair of Ultimate Ears 700 Noise Isolating Earphones.
Phew.
I love quasi-impulse shopping ^_^

it's a router. got one ethernet slot left.. and we could wire it to my laptop
because wireless-G doesn't support 35/35, sadly.
i would use it for seeding and downloading 12413 anime at once, probably.
V5 is indeed badass. oh proin, when you get definitely post a review! :D
and congratulations on UE, i approve.
