 This is a fantastic bit of kit. December 26, 2007

What can I say, this is the second Archos this year being an upgrade from the AV500. I bought both from QVC as I think they are better value for money plus you can try them for a month before making your mind up. When I first turned it on I said WOW and went through everything on the screen and said WOW again. It is so easy to use and fast just touch the screen and its there, I have since put loads of music on it and the sound is good through the built in speakers but fantastic with ear buds. I have also put about 20 films on it and yes WOW again the clarity is fantastic I use DVDFAB platinum to put the films on the 500 and the 705 and found this to be the best software I have used for the job and again so easy to use. Don't hold back and get one you will not be disappointed and you also have the WIFI that is also easy to set up but I was a bit annoyed to find I had to pay 20 for a plug in so I could use the browser. This is a fantastic bit of kit.

Purchased only few days ago (27/10/08). Charged battery for 8 hours, got a bit worried as lost 1 bar in 5 mins, soon went down to 1 bars. Suggest buying additional battery dock as it eats up power. Web-brower plug-in is 20 additional feature, but find it glitchy. YouTube streaming is fantastic tho, goes full screen and excellent quality. Waiting for my DVR 5 to come! suggest buying add-on features it is worth it!
Archos 705 160gb is worth the money...
 not half bad September 16, 2008

well what can i say its good in so many and bad in others ill start with a list
good+
its got a nice strong build on it a bit big but hey its worth it for the screen size even fits nicely into my cargo pocket in my combats its simple to put movies and songs onto just plug it in and slap em into the correct folders you can view pdf files slowly but surly that is speakers could be worse to bad but ear buds work so much better and can adjust the sound settings while your listening good screen on it 7 inch touchscreen its good color and sharpness id rate it 4/5 because iv seen better but not by much
bad -
the speakers are a bit poor and tinny the touchscreen is not very receptive so you might end up damaging and scratching your screen trying to get something done also i really don't like the fact you have to pay 50 for the dock for the very function it advertising its self as a DVR and 20 for most basic programs ever like the web browser on there if they made it so you could activate executable files i could put Mozilla on there hmm what other things can i rant about? .... oh yea hate that you have to play so much extra for simple codecs oh my frikin god how i loath that i mean there sooooo simple why charge 20 squids for like 4 extra codecs when if you Google cccp you can download a whooping library of em to play even the moste obscure well rant over all in all im fumed and finished lol
 Poorly supported and glitchy June 8, 2008

Incredibly poor customer support.
Archos will only deal with its customers problems if you have a WMA number which you can only get after queueing on their premium rate "support" lines. Support lines are off hand to rude. Goods returned not fixed.
This is a real draw back as Archos' appear inheritantly glitchy.
Ok but for the fatal flaw May 7, 2008

I bought the 160gb version that was supposed to have manual and reg instructions on the drive. not there no help on archos site. after a week of trying eventually found how to purchase plug in for web browser and set up archos account. gradually learnt how to use it. the touch screen is NOT finger friendly, it's slow but audio sound is great through h/p and even a 3 lead into my amp. Began to fall in love with the ability to watch video streamed from youtube n google video as I walked around the house etc and went to bed each night streaming films. however they always cut out after ten minutes thought i was being dumb. again no help on site then found out by trial and error it needed to be plugged in to ac adaptor not only when synching with wmp11 but to watch streamed vids longer than approx 10min. If you like your audio don't rip WMplayer in lossless or anything else as archos forces a downgrade to standard wma which takes forever. corrupt files are common too.
Here's the crunch, never got as far as setting up my bundled dvr station or other extras as on day 12 FATAL ERROR recovery error 102 none of the restore options worked archos site never heard of that error n couldn't help. the device felt weighty and of good build quality so i thought i must have been unlucky and got a duff hard drive. Not so!! the flash drives suffer the same problem and there are thousands of people on the forums with the same problem with no resolution but to RMA. I've decided grudgingly to wait for a larger capacity iTouch. The bricked archos remains by the door a month later waiting to be collected, and needless to say i ain't got my money back yet. It was great while it lasted but i'd never by another.
