what is the cost of "T sonic 840"??

did a bit of looking around and realised that there are quite a few mp3 players one can get for less than 4k these days. here's the list:

Cowon iAudio U2 1GB-3k
Transcend T610 1GB-2.3k
2GB-2.7k
Transcend T630 1GB-2.4k
2GB-2.8k
Transcend T820 2GB-3.2k (plays video)
4GB-3.7k
Transcend T840 4GB-4k (plays video)
iPod Shuffle 1GB-4.3k
Creative Zen V Plus 1GB-4k (plays video)
Creative Zen Stone Plus 2GB -3.8k
Samsung YP U3 1GB -3.3k
Philips GoGear SA1355/97 1GB-3k
Philips 3115/97 1GB-4k (plays video)
Sony NW-S203F/B 1GB-4k
Sony NW-E005F/B 2GB-4k

actually the list is quite long, even though i have eliminated many players which i think are not easily available. and mind you, these are all players from top brands.
now i personally want a player that can support 'drag and drop' (am really irritated with iTunes)for the music files- which i think is not possible with the Apple, Sony and Creative players. so i guess that the Cowon U2 is my best bet. what do you guys think?

Superb job ananth..I am buying Creative EP630..now i m confused with Transcend T630 or Cowon iAudio U2,,my only concern is good quality audio..specially mp3..also i prefer alkaline battery over the inbuilt lithium batteryy..any suggestions

It cost me 4.4k when I bought it back 4 months ago.. if you want to have a nice and easy navigation I would recommend 840, else go for iaudio if you are concerned only with audio.. why t 630s??? 840 has video too and lots of nice features like sleep, yeah I use it the most..not sure if the others have it..
