"One of the BEST"

by D23S on September 16, 2007

Pros: Quality of the player, battery life, SOUND quality, file transfer, FM tuner..

Cons: nothing really

Summary: I?ve been a ipod user for about three years? last week I bought the new ipod classic but took it back due to its slow software and same old design?. Then I looked at the ipod touch but immediately said no after hearing all the problems with screen? ... read more >>

"Better than an iPod"

by 3rdalbum on October 26, 2007

Pros: Great bass response, drag 'n' drop music loading, nice looking interface

Cons: Finiky with accepted audio formats, lanyard is impossible to get in

Summary: I can't believe that nobody has mentioned this MP3 player's biggest selling point: You load music onto it through drag 'n' drop! That's right - you can load music onto the player whether you are running Windows, Mac OS X, Mac OS 8.5, Linux, FreeBSD,... read more >>

"Much better than a 7.3/10"

by xanderk84 on December 30, 2007

Pros: Sound quality is crisp and full; EXCELLENT navigation and UI; dedicated volume control on the side; player instantly turns on, no wait time at all; great battery life; nice to look at and hold.

Cons: there are no on-the-go playlists which is the most significant con, also, any button turns on the player so the hold switch must be set to "lock" after it is turned off but no big deal

Summary: CNET should have given this player better than a 7.3. I come to this site whenever I want to research electronics, but I find it irritating that CNET places so much importance on fancy features and style, while focusing less on practicality and qua... read more >>

"best all around player on the market"

by theweblord on December 16, 2007

Pros: sound quality - easy of use - excellent battery

Cons: crappy stock earbuds

Summary: I finally am happy with my setup. I have tried Ipod, Zen and others nothing comes even close to this unit. The most important thing a MP3 player can do is to sound good. The sound on this play blew me away! Its important to understand that the stock... read more >>

"Tremendous!"

by smashie² on October 19, 2007

Pros: Size, sophisticated feature set

Cons: No "relative FFW" feature

Summary: I just unloaded my Sansa e280 for this, and it's superfine. Sound options and quality are top notch. I checked out the new Nano "fatty" in store two weeks ago and i'm glad i didn't bite. Video is vivid, navigation is a snap, and it feels rock solid.... read more >>
