Advantages: Easy to use, good quality

Disadvantages: When the battery is low it 'plays dead' even when charging.

After smashing the back cover off my creative nano mp3 player I decided that the black text on blue back-light was doing my head in, I wanted something more. My old MP3 player was a fantastic MP3 player, so I decided to stay faithful and buy another MP3 player from creative.

After searching around a bit I came across this MP3 player in pink, not only does it look like the iPod Nano, its cheaper! Ok, so it is not as skinny as the iPod nano but, it does have many more features and in my opinion much cuter.

As you can see in the picture there is a circular button, don't be fooled! It is not the same this as the iPod, they stole that for themselves, in fact it is a tiny analogue stick that you can wiggle around and press in (like you get on some mobiles).

There are also two buttons beside the stick play/pause and return. On the side there is a record button, so if you wanted to record your voice you can do (you can just about make it out on the picture). Above that is a volume control which is a bar with volume up on one end and down on the other.
On the opposite side there is the power button, this is a slider which when pushed up for a few seconds switches the MP3 player on. If it is pushed further it locks the MP3 player so that when you lean on the buttons it doesn't do anything.

The MP3 player can play many music files as well as video files. The sound quality is top and can be customised with different equalisers.

The screen can be rotated, which is useful if you want to have it hanging around your neck (strap included).

Overall a very good music player, definalty worth its price.

Summary: Brilliant!
