Sam, Sheffield , “Music lover”
Score 9.0/10+ a very good device, if i had the choice i would buy one of these instead of an ipod, sound quality's warmer, the range of sound settings is alot of fun to use, and the video quality is nice and crisp, and very easy to use
- it isn't a major issue, but a wider range of colours would be better

Gary, Bristol , “Music lover”
Score 8.0/10+ Easy to use, good sound quality other lacking in bass.

Ross, Folkestone , “Music lover”
Score 8.0/10
+
Excellent sound quality
Easy to transfer files from Windows Media Player / Windows Explorer.
V. good battery life
Excellent screen
Very light and compact
-
No click wheel like with iPod so takes longer to find an artist
Can't delete song files from the MP3 player.
Groups beginning with 'The' are ordered under T not the letter of the second word - e.g. The Beatles are under T not B. As a result there is a disproportionate number of groups under T.
Can't record radio / voice
Can't play a lot of video files.
Won't charge except when plugged into computer (tried with a USB plug adapter).
