Philips GoGear SA3245 4 GB

The Philips SA3245 looks promising at first glance, with its rounded and piano black finish that catches your eye. The ergonomic placing of the controls and its sensitivity makes it easy to operate, in addition to the well designed menu structure, making the player user friendly. The task of scrolling thought the menus are quite straightforward and there are a number of ways which you can use to locate in a single track. One of the methods of search even includes album arts that does make it easy to go through hundres of tracks. The quality of the display screen is quite good, however it is slightly reflectie, making it hard to use in bright sunlight. ...  Read the complete review

This MP3 player is very easy to use. I plugged it into my laptop and copied a load of music across without the need to install any software. The player itself is small and aesthetically pleasing. The buttons are a little on the small side but do the job. The screen is of reasonable quality but I was disappointed when it didn't play the album art I have attributed to my tags. The sound quality is pretty good, even through the free headphones that came without. However, it is much improved when using a decent set. The 4gb of space will store a large collection of music. This is easily sufficient to keep you going whilst on holiday. The ...  Read the complete review

The Go Gear is Phillips response to the excellent ipod and the Sansa mp3 player. I was bought this mp3 player last year and am still undecided about this one. Firstly though it allows the standard fare of being playing mp3 files and WMA files but it also allows for video playback.

The first thing I noticed when playing music is the sound is ...  Read the complete review

I was pleased and dismayed to get a Philips go GoGear ! Pleased because I have always wanted something like this, since my old cassette player Walkman, which used to seem the height of fashion! - and dismayed because my partner had a terrible time trying to get music uploaded on to his ipod and i feared it would be difficult too. However the Philips GoGear has been a pleasure to use. It is straightforward to register and also fairly easy to read and follow the instructions - and I am a 40 year old technophobe who always puts things off and /or asks others to do it for me!. I find it excellent for waiting at the doctor or dentist and it was great for a long ...  Read the complete review

This MP3 player is a better and cheaper alternative to the Ipod. It's easer to get music to the MP3 then the Ipod and I think cheaper too. Not only that it has great features such as the ability to read txt files, not you're cup of tea well Im sure the video player and the music to keep you company and if you get fed up of you're own music then you can just listen to the local radio no updates or other devices to upgrade you're MP3 player it's already there. The only small minor problem with this MP3 player is the long upload time when uploading movies, because the MP3 can only play .smv so the movie has to be converted, this does take a long time, so I suggest only ...  Read the complete review
