My Samsung U3 - though not the U2 in my wish list for the past several months, I am happy with my purchase decision.
07 August, 2008 09:06
It's not the Samsung YP-U2 - instead I purchased the Samsung YP-U3. I know, the U2 has been listed in my wish list area for almost a year,
but I found this model to meet all my needs.
Best Buy had them on sale for a little under $50 bones, with the exception of the black YP-U3 which was $10 more than the green that I decided on.
I used to represent a technology company in which I would work in the store, so when I had seen the good old manager walk by I couldn't resist saying "what the hell is this, $10 bucks - out of your mind?". In any case, I was not willing to pay for a color, as I have posted in the past that features and options were specific making a purchase decision for any mp3 player.
My player has 2 GB of storage, a FM receiver, plays MP3's, OGG Vorbis, WMA DRM 10, and a couple other formats such as WAV that I will not be taking advantage of. Battery life is between 11 and 13 hours, which is re-charged by a snap out USB connector. In addition, it offers 128 bit mp3 voice recording.
So far I couldn't be happier, although the U2 would have been nice - after looking at my needs however, this Samsung model suits my, on the road, musical personality the best without breaking the bank.
