OLLO’s The Kube sucks
Well, I just bought it and in my attempt to start charging its battery for use tomorrow, I discovered no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get the cable to connect to the player properly.
Called OLLO’s number which the kind lady at 7-11 gave me just before my purchase;
“If you encounter any problems, do not come back to us. Call this number.”
It was as if she was already expecting the Kube to fail me. Or am I simply thinking too much?
Nobody picked up the phone and I realized it’s already after office hours, let’s see how OLLO can help me out the next day.
To be continued?
Addendum: Design fault. Spoke to this nice lady through the phone and confirmed with my colleague. The cable will be exceptionally difficult to insert the very first time. I guess that’s what to be expected with its price tag.
You know, I wonder did the designer of the product actually uses his own product on a daily basis; there’s no freaking HOLD button! With the buttons almost as big as the device itself, walking around listening to the player, I actually had to hold on to it to make sure I don’t accidentally hit the On/Off, Next Track buttons.
Also, the shuffle function doesn’t seem to be working for me, another call to OLLO is probably warranted.
This being a local product makes me kinda depressed. 
Nice-looking paperweight. :p
If you’ve seen the actual size of the Kube, you would agree it wouldn’t make a very good paperweight. Bah.
Oops. Didn’t realize it’s barely 2cm all round. So did you manage to get it to work?
I did, fortunately.
However, if Molly (or anyone else) is considering to get one, I’d highly recommend you not to.
I really should have saved up for an iPod. Bah.
seriously i agree i bought one with a faulty memory card ,thumbdrive n USB line now still finding memory card
I just bought this player today and within 5 minutes later i tested the device, found that the SD card is unable to be detected. 7-11 girl rejected and ask me to call the number on customer service. Called the rude customer service and they told that its impossible that the SD card spoilt that easily, where she reply that a lot of changes has been make previously from 7-11 until they stop that transaction. Sucks player.
Haha, I also bought one that was like (#*&$!*&#@#, but then I feedbacked on the site, and they agreed to send me a new one. Although it hasn’t come yet…
Hi rbk, that’s good to hear. I went down their office and got mine changed but it’s still pretty fucked up. Do keep us updated with regards to the status of your Kube!
Yeah, I got my cube in the mail today.
And I complained about the faulty usb reader and cable and they gave me extra too.
