Review: Archos 605 WiFi Doesn't Impress

Full story: Hartford Courant

Sporting a brushed metal case, a crisp, wide touch screen and wireless Internet capabilities, the latest portable media gadget from Archos sounds like a match for the newest iPods.

wow thats a short battery life.....

and i just got mine today....

only 3 hours... wow that blows.... I myte return it .. considering i need to pay for the wrb browser and charging it takes to long and its sort of decepointing.. since my last archos was the 402 none camcorder.... and it had alot more stuff for its time rite out of the box..

ps: got the 80 gig for 280.... good price, but the battery life is the one thing thats making me not want it,,,, chargin it also takes a long time....

The after sales service offered by Archos is disgraceful. I have been trying to resolve an issue being given the run around keep asking to fill in different forms. Returned my faulty product to John Lewis they gave me a full refund and said that they had stopped selling Archos because service so bad. Suggest you find another product

The only problem that I have had is that the battery dock does the exact opposite of what it is supposed to do, and seems to get rid of battery life. When I tried my Archos without it, I played music w/ headphones, which is what they say to do on their site. After 30 min., it was still reading 5/6 or 83%, which I figured was good. By the time that I clicked on the screen and closed all of the menus which took about 20 seconds, the battery already died. FYI, this is my second unit, and I have already gotten an RMA form and will be sending it back. As far as support, it is really slow, but it does work.
