Advantages: Battery life, user intiface and design

Disadvantages: sonic stage and fast forward slowness

I bought this mp3 player about a year ago after dciding to upgrade by 512mb version and have found it overall just as good with the added memory . It has an easy to understand user intiface which has scroll through menus. It allow you to find a specific song with the search function whilst on play-through mode. The equliser is great allowing you to set your own specific sound, instead of just preset ones which it supplus as well. My faviourate feature is the HUGE batterly life which means before school/work it dosen't matter if you accidentaly left it playing overnight.
Now the bad points: It is only really usable with sonicstage the sony software, which unlike the player does not have an easy user intiface. It does get some getting used to before ytou can use it with ease, but becomes livable after a while. It cannot fast forward fast enough for me who likes to listern to podcasts 1 hour+ which is a real shame.
One last good point. I LOVE THE DESIGN it looks great and it is small light and stylish. The sound quality is also FANTASTIC, unbeatable in my opinion

Summary: FAb, unbeatable giving ipod huge competition.
