"I just got this device to help pass the time during some lengthy flights I will soon be taking. The device itself is great - the Windows Mobile interface is unique among other PMP devices I've seen and used, and perhaps not surprisingly, it is intuitive and extremely functional as an OS.

There is a ton of storage capacity on this particular model, so you can effectively store a bunch of movies in addition to most of your music collection. It has a hard power off switch, that allows you to store the device for a period of time without the battery slowly losing its juice.

My only gripe is regarding the primary interface that is used to transfer songs to the device. It could just be me, but Windows Media Player is just not an intuitive application, especially when you introduce the concept of synchronizing songs to a device. It works (mostly), but it is extraordinarily confusing. I haven't figured out how to effectively sync a list in WMP with my device, and as a result, end up copying over files manually via Windows Explorer. Frankly, I would prefer to only use Windows Explorer to copy files to the device. The obvious drawback is that you cannot transcode video automatically. However, I would much prefer a separate application to do my transcoding than to have Windows Media Player auto-magically do it for me. I assume that I'm in the minority here though, and as such, I think the transfer mechanism will be fine for most people."

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
