Hey, unfair! ;)
Frank, look at my words again: *felt* more rugged *in my hands*

> MP 120: 3 (2 ROM updates, 1 drowned in green tea)

At least, it died in style...

> MP 130: 6 ( 2 shut off immediately

Did you try to fix this with FixTrax?

> I wouldn't call that "rugged"...

I was referring to the actual touch of the unit.
My MP2100 grunts like an old bark one you touch or twist it a little harder,
and there are many parts that *could* break off or stop working with ease.
They never do though, and I once dropped it badly. It spat out all cards and
pens, and opened everything it could open (incl. case) to abandon ship.
Nothing broke, it was back up again in less then one minute.

The MP130 (and I only had an MP130 before, so this may be the case for all
1x0 units) felt more "cut out of one piece" and solid in comparison, and it
does fit my hand better.
I never dropped it, I never opened it. The only trouble it would ever make
was the known "off at startup"-bug, which was gone for good after installing
FixTrax.

Looking at the "one piece" aspect, my OMP beats them all, of course ;)
