Zune

Anyone here have a Zune? I got an 80 GB Zune yesterday, and I love it. Games on it are awesome. Tetris FTW.

I've been seriously considering getting one of those. Especially since the next version of XNA will support the Zune.
Some people say that the menu navigation sucks on the Zune. What do you think of it?

Maybe you heard that about the old Firmware. I've heard that the old menus were small and annoying to use. I find the new one easy. Unless, you're used to the iPod. At least 3 of my friends today had no idea how to use it because they kept moving their finger in a circle around the pad like the iPod click wheel. :P

So how is the menu-navigation?
Is it like arrow key-type things?
I've been thinkin' about getting one too.

Once i get enough $$$ I'm getting the 80. Mainly because I'd like to watch some movies on the go and have Code Monkeys with me whenever i need. Also for music.
