Advantages: +Ease of use, stylish, sound quality, inexpensive

Disadvantages: -Lack of functions, feels very plastic-y

Simply looking at this Philips mp3 player you can tell it's sleek and trendy, and at £39.99 for 4gb, it's a bargain.
The sound quality is fantastic, could definitely be better than an Ipod; and, in my view, less generic. The preset equaliser settings make it easy to adjust to what you're listening to.
Was very quick to set up and connect to get my first songs on there.
Of course, the size of it means that functions are limited; no playlist maker, no radio, no picture or video capability. The player itself can feel very cheap and flimsy in your hands, and the battery life for me was significantly less that what is specified (I got 11 hours). The recording function is good for quick memos (and for me singing laughs!), but sometimes was hard to hear, and there is no function to delete them after you save them.
However, if you simply want a mp3 player with no fuss and brilliant sound quality, look no further.

Summary: For anyone who wants a music player with no pother.
