shwetanshu · 11-11-2007, 04:48 PM

Its a birthday gift from me to me!!

Price: 6K

Features:
FM Tuner, 2GB or 4GB (i have 2 GB) memory, 20 Hrs battery life, Photo viewer, Text Viewer, Customizable Equalizer.

Design:
Very sleek, front panel is scratch proof and has a glossy look... this makes fornt panel get finger prints, which can be wiped off easily, but looks ugly!! Back Panel is not so scratch proof, n already has some scratches.... whole body is surrounded by a silver frame. It has 7 touch buttons, and a mechanical button (on/off) on the right side. It has 3.5mm jack n 24pin samsung standard connector!

User Interface
UI is simple to use and nobody should have problems using it!!

FM Tuner
It can only be tuned when a 3.5mm jack is connected n this can be anything, its just needs to be connected to a 3.5mm jack.

Battery Life
It can only be charged through USB port on ur PC, company says that too with their propreitary cable...didnt try with AC to USB connector (will try after exams).

Text Viewer
Only txt files and that too word wrapping is not so good.

Sound Quality
Its just fabulous, bundled earphones does their job pretty well. Get a better earphones n njoi more

Display
Touch screen is very sesnsitive although, a lock button is provided. Slide the power button in opposite direction n it gets locked. Since the display is not so good, photo viewing is not completely a thrilling experience

Cons
No dedicated Volume Keys
No Album Art
No playlist editing

Be sure to update ur firmware after u buy it if necessary, else Customizable EQ or Zoom Function and few other features wont be avavilable.

i m absolutely in luv with this player!!

other alternatives can be sony nwb100 series and creative zen v plus

Its my first review....
