I've had the P2000 since Spring 2005. It's been to the UK twice, been in my bag on five trips to NY, Mexico, etc. I take care of it the same way I take care of a good lens or camera: don't drop it, keep it in its fitted case when not in use, don't abuse it intentionally. It just keeps on working well. The Li-Ion battery lasts long enough on a charge to upload about 13-14 G of data, and stays charged for months at a time when I'm not using the unit actively. It seems a good, tough device. I wouldn't drop kick it ... there is a hard drive in it, of course ... but it works very well.
