Sony Walkman NW-A805 2 GB

Okay! Okay! Okay! I was fed up with my Sony Walman (W550i) phone after a year as i felt it outdated and very bulky. I discussed with my friends whether i would get a sony handicam or a smart mp3 player capable of playing mpeg4 videos. Eventually my friends said that mp4 would be much useful and cool than a handicam. They said that you are not gonna capture movies whole day but would listen music instead. then i thought for a while and asked my dad to not to get a handicam. I serched the net (Google) and then an idea struck to me - the website of SONY. Ilove sony products 'coz they've got every feature needed for a good device. My search let me knew the Sony NW-A ...  Read the complete review

After my iPod mini finally gave up after a year or so of misbehaving I was suffering going to the gym without an mp3. As my birthday was coming up I had started spreading the word (well, I had told bf) about what type of mp3 I would like just in case somebody would consider buying me one.

After never really being an ipod fan I thought I would go down the Walkman route. I was very pleased with my purchase and still use it to this day to listen to music and podcasts on the move. I find the menus easy to navigate and find it great to be able to upload photos and video on such a small memory device. I have got a huge grumble though, the software supplied is appalling, and I mean appalling. Videos take ages to convert and waiting sometime over 3hrs for the conversion it says the video is corrupt when I know it plays and is fine on my computer. I think the software is the biggest let down of all with so many crashes its unreal. Bug after bug after ...  Read the complete review
