"Great features - Isn't as user friendly as I hoped"
Pros: Excellent features, has everything you would want & super battery life
Cons: User interface moving between menus/option is awkward. The front controls are way too sensitive even when you set then on the low setting. I bump them and change tracks/skip music almost every time.
Summary: This player has wonderful potential. The features are 2nd to none. Battery life is Awesome. It has playback speed adjustment which I love because I can listen to my audio books faster. You can get used to the menu/option user interface navigation. the slider bar is really cool. Sound quality is excellent. I used multiple headsets and earpiece and compared it to my girlfriend IPOD 30gig. The screen is small but bright and clear. Plays videos nice. Scrolling though songs/playlist/menus is instantaneously fast and flawless. Almost too fast but I like it.
It's really small but I would personally like to see it a few mm thinner. I guess they need the extra width to house the larger battery for the 60 hours of playback rating.
But my one big issue is the front interface. Its just way too sensitive. I have been really trying to get used to it. I listen to a lot of audio books and when I want to pause or fast foward/rewind there is a good chance I will skip to the next or previous track. When I go back I had lost my spot and have to waste time finding it again. When I place the unit down or go to pick it up there is a good change I will switch tracks to the next or previous again because the slider bar is soo sensitive (even on the less sensitive setting). I am seriously considering returning it because it has been frustrating me quit a bit. I will try a couple more days.
