Disadvantages: easily scratched, no reset button

This is a great MP3 player. lets not joke around here pound for pound against an ipod this is 100% better value for money. I have to be honest and say I will not go into real detail on features here other reviews might be a little more helpful there. What I will say is that this item is simple straightforward to use and has a groovy touch sensitive face and some nice sound enhancment options. On the downside though the screen is very easily marked ...
...and the touch sensitive operation on the device is not affected. It Sounds great, stores more music and pictures than you could ever put on it and works well. The only really bad experience I had with this device was when it was downloading music from my pc, the PC crashed causing the MP3 player to do the same thing. It would not respond untill the battery had run out as I could not turn it off or reset it. When I recharged it, all of the existing ... Read review

My Philips has become my little travel buddy, accompanying me on many of my home to university jaunts from Cardiff to Swansea and vice versa. Its so small and light and is always slipped into my bag for all my journeys, whether to block out screaming kids on the bus or to fill the quietness! (which isn't very often!) My parents bought me this little mp3 as I needed a replacement for my broken Japanese imported one, and as an iPod was out of my price ...
...this one, and the 2GB was on offer in Argos for £60 this was the one we went for, although with any item that's on special offer I am always a little wary of the quality. But there was no need to be wary, this thing is a little gem! So its features: Music ------- Well being the main object of an mp3 player, I'd expect this to be on here! The 2GB memory enables the mp3 to hold over about 600 songs! The music menu gives you the option of playing ... Read review

Advantages: price, looks, battery life!!
Disadvantages: if people dont use it : (

...netto of mp3 players, so Philips was defiantly a sensible choice. Another tipping point of purchase, was that this has 1gb of memory, this is really quite good as most of these little mp3 players only have 512 and some just 128mb of space, so 1gb defiantly sounded good. The design of this is quite a compact little oval shaped device. Its body is silver and white, with a black section around the screen. The screen is small, however easy to read ...
...At the end of one side, the lid comes off so that this can plug directly into a computers USB port, its so easy to put songs onto, however I don't think my mum did ever manage it because when I recently checked what was on there, it was the exact same songs I had put on it for her in the first place. The best thing about this must be its battery life, a massive 10 hours actually. So this could easily last you quite a few days as you probably wont ... Read review

Advantages: Small, sleek and cool looking.
Disadvantages: Tends to freeze a lot without the latest firmware upgrade.

...checked on the on the philips website and they had a firmware upgrade available. It was quick and easy to download and upgrade my player, and afwards it's worked like a charm, not a single problem with it. I havent really used any of the other features like the picture viewer or sound recorder, but as a stand alone MP3 player I find this to be an excellent little device. I would deffinatly recommend this player to anyone who is looking for a simple, ... Read review

Advantages: High Quality Music Playback
