Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
The Archos 605 generation 5 portable media player comes with a convenient WiFi feature, an attribute that offers the fastest and easiest way to access digital entertainment. You can use the built-WiFi capabilities of the Archos to download online media content from the Archos content portal: All you need is a usable WiFi connection, and you're good to start downloading (fees may apply). With the Archos in hand, for the first time you can download favourite movies, TV shows, and music wherever you are, without being tied to the PC or Mac. Other great features include a full-colour 4.3-inch touchscreen that crams in an amazing 800 x 480 picture resolution for superior picture quality, 160 GB of built-in memory, and multiple options for additional storage (the player accepts SD mini and SD micro memory cards).



The Archos 605 features a touch screen, high quality screen resolution, and WiFi capabilities. - .

With full Internet access, the player's Opera browser plug-in offers Adobe Flash support, which lets you access and enjoy YouTube and other Web video sites on your Archos device.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, but could be improved., 16 Nov 2007
    By J. Lewis "blueadept2003" (UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    I love this device, it's a fantastic video player, and a fantastic web browser (although you have to pay for additional licences for web browser and some codecs)... the WiFi works so much better than some other devices I've used.... the file manager is pretty usable... and the music player is nice enough. I would easily give it 5 stars, but there are some imperfections.

    1, No standard USB connector (need proprietary cable)
    2, No bluetooth (so you can't browse on the move unless there is a hotspot)
    3, As yet, the available plugins are very limited
    I would be say that it needs a calendar, an email client, a notepad,
    an SSH and/or RDP/VNC client and a few others at the very least
    (These may be available as software updates, however)
    4, I have seen it hand/reboot a few times unexpectedly.

    Overall, I'm very happy with it, but it could do so much more.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Archos 605 WiFi - excellent, 25 Sep 2007
    OK, had this about a week. Transferred all my Archos AV560 files to it, setup the WiFi to connect to share on my home PC and also surf the internet directly thorugh my broadband router. Also hooked up the DVR station to view on TV.
    Display - awesome. 800*480 resolution. Videos and photos super, web browsing excellent - can zoom in when needed. OK, not the fastext browser but very good. Even youtube videos working.
    Travelling this week so took the travel battery/AV adapater - hooked it up to the hotel room TV in France using AV lead supplied with SCART adapter... they have limited UK telly so watching Alien Vs Predator in English -- great. Only let down is no remote for the travel adapter. Back to the home DVR base station, the remote os great - full qwerty keyboard..... OK for response - just don;t type too quick.
    160GB --- great capacity. Now, I had a 504 for a short while but the startup time seemed too long for me. This 605 has standly mode so startup is really quick.... a few seconds. If needed, can shutdown for a full reboot on power up by holding power key for several seconds. I had to do it a couple of times as I think it had problems with my bookmarks last night but seems fine after a reboot and now fine also.
    I have to add I got a great deal on QVC - the unit+DVR+battery/dock+Web Browser add-on..... whereas normally you have to purchase them all seperatly.
    Being gadget mad.... this is really cool. My AV560 mint condition will be on ebay in the next week or so!
    For reference I use Xilisoft DVD to Divx encoder - cheap and great at encoding although now with the higher resolution supported I need to select AV700 output and change the default 720*480 to 800*480. This does eat CPU utilisation so if you have a dual core processory, you're better off.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Archos poor customer service, 11 Jan 2008
    By I. Doleman - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    I read as many reviews if this product as I could find and it looked good. I decided to buy one and received it on 6th December. From first use it locked up every time when coming out of standby needing a full reboot or reset to get it working again. I phoned Archos support (on a premium rate number) and was told that it shouldn't work this way and someone would contact me the following week. Nobody did so I had to phone them again. This time I was told it would have to go back for repair and they sent me an email detailing what to do. When it came back it still had the same fault. To compound the issue it was not returned in the original box (in which it had been sent), the proof of sale was not returned (which they asked for and said would be returned) and the unit had been damaged while with Archos. It now has a dint in the back of the case which could only be the result of a reasonable blow.
    I phone Archos again and explained the problem that had now turned into several problems. This time I was told this would have to go to head office and someone would contact me the following week. No one did. So, I have to phone them again. This time I speak to someone who unsympathectic, rude and offhand so I ask to speak with a supervisor or manager to be told 'no you can't' and 'you can hang on the phone all day if you want it will only cost you money, I don't care'.
    This kind of support is appalling. If you are sold a faulty device the company should go out of its way to rectify it. I will never buy a product from Archos again and could not recommend anyone else to.
    Oh by the way, it still doesn't work properly.
