Neat and reasonably good FM reception

Easy to setup for FM radio and reasonable reception (except in the gym!). No warning that battery was about to run out - it just stopped working which was a bit disappointing. Attachment to belt a bit pathetic although it hasn't fallen off yet...

A very good player

This is the first mp3 player I have had and I am most impressed with it. The sound seems very good to me, and it is easy to use, both to add tracks to and to find the one you want to listen to. To charge the battery you just plug it into the usb...

Excellent mp3 player and good value

I just wanted to say a few words on this mp3 player. I really like the shape as it fits nicely in my hand and it's really easy to operate as controls are easy to locate. I normally place the mp3 player in my pocket and without looking I know which...

What a super mp3 player!

OK, I bought this a few weeks ago for someone to give me for Christmas, so I've only had a couple of days to play with it. But it's so easy to use! The included software is only required if a repair is needed, otherwise files are transferred using...

Philips GoGear Spark SA2945 4 GB: Adorable and impressive!

When I received this mp3 player in its clear plastic cube packaging I was over the moon. The little player is adorable - it fits right in the palm of your hand and is cute, chunky and seemingly impossibly small for something that does so much! It is...

Good screen, great sound quality, cheap, cute

Can't specify types of slideshow ; menus a bit long winded
