Overall Review:

I would say screen quality and responsiveness are about average.

Even with the negatives this might be the most fun device I have ever purchased. It has been crash prone, and I have reinstalled Froyo 2.2.1 from scratch. But again a great device for the price. Also you will hear some mention the CPU was throttled to 800Mhz after Froyo update. From what Archos told me it was to save battery, and it will got to 1Ghz in some situations, like surfing the web.

I am not the best at reviewing, so hope this helped someone out.
