That's about the same time I got mine, from the same place.
I remember ordering it, and having the delivery notice in my letterbox the next day. The guys at the post office had to read the package twice before they believed me that it had come from Korea the day before to Australia.
My plugpack died fairly quickly, but I never used it anyway. I used to take my player when I went hiking (haven't been for ~12 months), so carry 10 rechargable batteries for the average 4 day hike. I bought a charger that charges 10 batteries at once.
I was always amazed at how well it handled bumps and knocks. I never once had it skip on me in all the times I went hiking.
The rather nifty case that was supplied with it is the case It still resides in. Very handy having the room for 5 CD's inside the case, and the pouch on the front was good for the remote and earbuds.
I still have it, and would always prefer it over my T30 for hiking trips, or any situation where I would be away from my PC for a while.
