Well, the cracked screen, about 6 months.  Isn't covered since it's
abuse.  The audio plug, approximately 13 months before it broke the
first time (a friend of mine fixed it several times).  The audio plug
was a poor design, since it basically flexes, and the only thing
holding it in place is the ground solder connection, which breaks
continuously.

The on/off switch, about 6 months.  I bought it directly from cowon,
and couldn't find the receipt, so they couldn't/wouldn't help me.  I
realize it's my own stupidity, so I don't complain about it.

I have spent less on both Sansa models than any of the Cowon, and I
won't feel as bad when/if I break them :).  I have had them for about
6 months. I admit I use mine while mowing/plowing/running/at work, so
they do get a work out.

thanks for the interest...

P.S.  Don't be as silly as me and lose the receipt.

P.P.S  I don't think I am the only one with problems.  A web search
should show the issues.
