"Outstanding Value"
Pros: Very stylish, easy to use, outstanding sound quality, thin, small, light, many features, boots fast.
Cons: Playlists limited to four-hundred songs, volume indicator.
Summary: Looking like it belongs in The Museum of Modern Art, this is a very stylish MP3 player that is small, thin, and light. It is also feature packed, easy to use, sounds outstanding, and boots fast--eight seconds. There are many small things that Samsung has got right to make this little unit a joy to use. Things like a clock, a calendar, the ability to load any picture and use it as wallpaper, and a plastic sheet to protect the screen and control panel from scratches. If you dislike the sheet, you can remove and discard it.
WMAs at 160 kbps sound like CDs, at least to my ears; I connected the T10 to my hi-fi and did this test by listening from loudspeakers. At 128 kbps, I was able to notice a difference. The actual capacity is about 3.67 GB. The earphones are good compared to the earphones usually bundled with portable-audio devices, but if you care about sound quality, you should buy a pair of high-quality headphones or earphones if you have not already done so.
But I do have some quibbles. No volume indicator is shown on the screen when one is listening to music: one has to touch the control panel to see the volume setting, but then this forces the volume up or down a notch. Playlists are limited to four-hundred songs.
