I recently purchased this mp3 player from dixons and I was amazed by how good it is. The interface is unclutered and very easy to navigate. It has the equivalent screen of an ipod nano.(320X240 2.2in) The video playback is a stunning 30 f.p.s. and is easy to watch(MP4 supported). However as with most players it struggles for brightness in direct sunlight. The picture display function is adequate but I don't bother with it, its easier to use a phone for that. The most important feature however is music, the quality is excellent at the standard 128kbps mp3. It has a wider range of compatibility than the ipod range including wma, mp3, AAC, and WMP. The supplied headphones, while looking alittle weird provide superb sound and comfort. The bonus of these is you don't have to rush out and buy another pair (adding cost to what seemed like a bargain). The headphones are on sale in the argos catalogue for £40!!! Several people I know own this most have black which is a matt finish but the pink is glossy and I believe the white version is too. It is very easy to use when coupled with windows media player and as long as your libraries are correct with song information then you can just sync the walkman with the library and hey presto all your media has been transferred. Its extremely fast even on a standard usb slot. Charging is done via usb so no need for cluttered wires everywhere. I often charge mine of the usb slot on my wii to free up usb slots on my computer. A word of warning though, I recommend you buy a case as the screen does scratch, they are only around £10 and its well worth thte investment, I was peeved when mine got scrathed especially when watching videos.

Please leave feedback.
