I've had the N710 since the end of June. I have to admit that I love the mp3 player, but had to spend another $80 for a 64mb MS to use it. Another difference between the 710 and 610 is the operating system and 8 bit screen (710) vs 16 bit 64,000 color on the 610. To be honest, I looked at both units side-by-side at PC Expo and could not see any difference on the screens. It all boils down to music, love it or leave it.
