When I bought
this player I was impressed with the storage space and number of
songs/pictures that I could store on it. I was also making an attempt
to go against the status quo by not purchasing an Ipod. I wish I could
go back in time and kick myself in the head now after finding myself
stuck with this piece of garbage.
Philips wants you to think that
the slick design and touch screen menu controls are the best things
that any Mp3 player could have. But let me tell you a little about
these worthless features and horrible design thought that went into
this player.
First of all the slick design, does nothing at all but
gather smudges and fingerprints through out the day and leaves the face
of the player looking dirty. So by evening you find yourself have to
scrub the surface just to clear all the smudges off of the face of your
player. Then you have the touch screen menu's that don't respond to the
touch of your fingers. It just looks at you while you press frantically
away trying to go to the next song. And if you touch too many times it
flies ahead and passes 5 songs all at once. I don't see how one minute
of research & development went into this worthless piece of metal.
And the picture storage...think again, once you figure out how to get
images on this player, if you get that far, then you can't even see the
images at all. I haven't seen one piece of album art that shows up in
my media player 10. Based on these facts alone I would have purchased
an Ipod without a doubt.
Now let’s get into the good details about
my experience with Philips when my first player DIED on me after 6
months. I had to call them, about 5 times, just to get an RMA number to
return the stupid thing, and at one point they had technical support on
the line with me trying to troubleshoot a Mp3 player! Was I supposed to
get out my handy toolkit and start opening this thing up to find out
why it wouldn't work?? So once I had my RMA in hand, I was then told
that I would have to wait a MONTH just to get another from them. When I
finally received the exchange player back...it was
refurbished...imagine that. Go get an something other than this mp3 player people...
