The player is quite sleek, with nice rounded edges, a decent weight, and sharp piano black gloss finish. The sound quality is superb. I didn't get the same battery life the manufacturer did (they rate 30 hours, I probably average 20), but I would bet that's because I use the touchscreen interface more than their battery testers did. As for the touchscreen, I have to admit it's pretty nice. I prefer tactile use, so I'm more of a fan of buttons than touchscreens, but Samsung has done a nice job executing this one. There are a couple of odd quirks to the touchscreen. For example, when you "swipe" the touchscreen to advance you have to swipe from right to left, which seems counterintuitive since you are advancing the progress bar from left to right. Obviously, the same is true of swiping to back up, where you swipe from left to right, even though you're going back on the progress bar.

This review is from: Samsung P2 8 GB Touchscreen Bluetooth Portable Media Player (Black) (Electronics) I wanted a video player that was easy to use with UnBox and other video sites other than iTunes (I have owned a 3G 40G and own a 4G 30G video and 3G Nano 4GB). Here are my initial thoughts:
Fast charging via USB Easy to use Samsung proprietary software for music, video and RSS feeds Nice User Interface with Touch Screen, bright colors File transfer from UnBox a breeze, recognized immediately, very fast file transfer vs. IPOD Easy interface to add, update and load RSS feeds Drag and drop computer files for music and video Syncing is much easier than an IPOD, does not sync all of your files to obtain new files to load Updated firmware was fast and easy (Bluetooth upgrade) Great sound quality and form factor Cost per MB more affordable than an IPOD Love it so far after 1.5 hours of use; will update once I have it for a week or two. WORTH considering, like the fact that it does not require quirky Windows Media Player...Read more 29 of 32 people found the following review helpful: By minnzo (MN USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Samsung P2 8 GB Touchscreen Bluetooth Portable Media Player (Black) (Electronics) Just wanted to post that if you are in the market for a portable player, you should not pass this one up. I have the 4 GB version, and I rate the sound quality 10 out of 10 with some KOSS headphones mp3 encoded at 256. The screen is bright and clear, and while the volume has to go almost to peak to push one set of my headphones it is crystal clear when I get there, and every step before it! I am impressed by the sound quality, and highly recommend it. |
