Advantages: Funky backlight, fairly easy to use, good volume and sound quality.

Disadvantages: Fairly unstable, slightly bulky and might not fit in your USB slot because of its bulk.

Ive had this MP3 player for around 3 Years now, briefly losing it about a year ago.

Given it came free with a Phone my Girfriend got me, I was quite happy. Free is always a good price.

The MP3 player seems more directed towards the Asian market, rather than anyone speaking English, although the English on it is good. Some of the actions on it have many Chinese symbols on them, which can result in confusion sometimes.

To power it on, you must hold the Play button. Only in the instructions does it tell you to do this, so without them, you could be forgiven for being slightly confused. On the top and the bottom of the MP3 Player, are the Skip Track, Last Track, Volume and Menu buttons... as well as a lock button to keep your MP3 Player from accidently switching track while its sat in your pocket.

The USB is built into the MP3, which is very handy, and eliminated the need for a USB Cable, however, it can be hard to slot into some PCs and definitely your Xbox 360, and requires a USB Cable Extention, which are available at Pound Shops across the Country.

The display is tempermental. Sometimes the info will display, sometimes it wont. However the backlight is quite funky, because it changes colours.

There are options to change the Equaliser, Repeat a track, Repeat all tracks, randomise and even a recorder to record memo's. There is even a feature to back up phone numbers, which I find very strange, and I have never used, but overall, it isnt a bad piece of kit. It just seems to have been faily rushed, and not very reliable.

It still works, though, is cheap, easy to use and plays your music, so for a basic MP3 Player, its worth looking at. Im sure reliability has been fixed, and firmwares can be updated, so that means bugs can be patched.

Summary: Not fantastic, but gets the job done.
