Cons Miserable warranty (90 days), prone to dreaded "upgrader" error which will cost you $100 to fix and you get back someone else's used Rio. on January 25, 2005  | Read full review

Cons Where do I start? The product worked fine for over one year, then the headphones stopped working (sound only in one ear), it would periodically "short out" and just stop working mid song, which got worse and worse until it just wouldn't work anymore. Ba on January 12, 2005  | Read full review

This (CNET)site shows warranty as 12 months, as does Amazon.com on September 10, 2004  | Read full review

Cons Belt clip breaks very easily, and it's like pulling teeth to get a new one. Buttons are delicate and up to high. You breath on it and you can change the track your listening to. on September 1, 2004  | Read full review

Cons You have to dig in the options menu to find out that you can lock the buttons so you don't turn it off when moving around. on September 1, 2004  | Read full review

Cons Does not come with rechargeable battery. FM radio has very poor reception, but I kind of expected this and didn't factor the FM radio in the decision to buy. My old Intel mp3 player had an FM radio which also had terrible reception. Can't they make an m on July 21, 2004  | Read full review
