Consumer review (newegg.com)

Great

 

Sonicstage takes forever to load, and once it is open, when transfering data, the music reformats to a .oma file, i believe. And the cracked screen is my fault.

Small, lightweight, great sound quality

Toggle switch is very hard to use, you have to use sonicstage to put songs onto the player, i cracked the screen after dropping it, only 512MB

Convenient player, obnoxious limitations

 

Great size, weight, performance. The battery charge is second to none and the 50 hours is a very reasonable claim. While you have it hooked up to the USB it charges the player, only takes a few minutes

The playback resolution was unnecessarily tight -- to be able to playback most podcasts, I had to run a conversion on the MP3 to get it up to an acceptable resolution ; The only way to get songs onto the player is with Sony's software, which I didn't...

Pretty good

 

I've liked using my mp3 player. However, I wish it had more memory. It's too easy to fill up. I'm not a huge crazy music cd owner, but it doesn't seem to hold very much of my music collection. Also I feel like the menus are not the easiest to use. ...

Small, Sony is a good brand, good sound

Difficult menus, USB cover locks and unlocks to easily

Consumer review (epinions.com)

They are electronics, not Army Tanks!!!

 

SOUND, cost, style, battery life, "quickcharge", 600+ songs on 1GB.

Hold button, not easy to find a case for it.

I thought it was a good product.

 

It's small with a very unique shape. Good sound quality.

Has many bugs that cause it to malfunction often. Very cheap parts.

Consumer review (epinions.com)

Horrible Product.

 

This thing is horrible. I received it as a birthday gift after asking for it b/c I thought the shape and style was very cute and unique. First off, the software takes ages to install, and it installs so much bundled crap that you have no real ...
