I'm pretty happy with mine, especially for this price, though divx movies get really choppy when there's too much action on the screen. This was never a problem with my TVisto. However, perhaps the USB thumb drive I'm using isn't fast enough.

I ordered one of these and have had no problems whatsoever. It's a nice player. You are limited to 8 characters for the filename in divx mode but there is a firmware hack that fixes that.

After a little googling, I don't think a firmware hack exists for the 5982 (please, please prove me wrong).
Apperantly there is a hack for the 5960, but it'll disable all controlls except the remote if you stick it on your 5982 (no recovery either).

I use a Kingston Data Traveller 100 4GB for $9 after Google checkout. It's notably slower than a DVD-R to load a movie, but it's never skipped while playing. Rewind and FF speeds are much better with a DVD. Flash speed has a lot to do with performance of this player.

Videohelp has it. You just drop the file on a cd and put the cd in the drive.

How does this compare to Samsumg model that Ben has listed for $43 after Google checkout last week?
