"Bluetooth GREAT but player has flaws"
Pros: bluetooth, sound quality, bright display, long battery life
Cons: inaccurate touchscreen, syncing software sucks, no ac adapter
Summary: First off, I don't see why people who haven't even had this player in their hand are rating this product already. I bought it then less than a week later sold it on amazon. This is a nice player, no doubt. Bluetooth, sound quality, bright display, stylish, what more could you ask for? Well, how about an accurate touchscreen? It seemed I had to keep repeating my strokes or touching an icon multiple times just to get it right. Frustrating. When using the radio you can't use your bluetooth headphones. When i put my images it had no feature to rotate them so I could not put a nice picture in the background because it was always the wrong way. I hated the samsung studio software (the application to sync your player). It took up a lot of memory, is a bit slow on transferring files, and I couldn't figure out how to convert video files into the right type for the player. I thought it would do it automatically but when I opened up the player to see the video it would freeze on me. I wish Windows Media Player, Samsung, Winamp, or any other application would do something like the iTunes backwards delete mode. If I delete something off my library then it is automatically deleted when I sync my iPod. The player does not have the option to delete the file without the use of a cpu, so you can imagine having to hook it up then search through the over 1,000 songs I had loaded on there to delete a couple files I didn't want anymore. So, overall it's an outsanding piece of device. However, it is definitely lacking some user-friendly features or at least some where people with only average computer knowledge can work at it without hacking or changing things. Definitely not for those who have a large library...good for working out though when I did it with my bluetooth headphones!

This is wad i wanna say to u kaos4u2nv. For the radio there's no way u can use the Bluetooth headset to listen to it, as radio travels through infra-red while the songs can be done by Bluetooth.
And for the touch screen it's a bit slow when u press it, but who cares, nobody knows how to walk when u are just borned. It takes time to learn and adapt to the touch screen technology. Unless u know how to walk when u are just came out from your mom's stomach!
For the songs synchronising, it doesn't require Samsung Media Studios. It's all done by dragging and dropping. You don't need the software to syn it. It is totally 200% user friendly!
For videos is much easier to convert. When converting, you don't plug in your mp3 first, but import your video files into Samsung Media Studios and right click the file to convert it into .SVI format. If your Samsung Media Studios is up to date, then you can adjust the bit rate and as well as the frame rate. For a 700mb .avi video if you download from internet, you can convert to min 100+ MB and the quality is very clear. TRUST ME!
While for the latest firmware version the Samsung P2 can even send songs via Bluetooth direct from handphone to mp3 without the need of USB cable!
