Customer Reviews

Great buy

I will keep it simple. P2 is a great purchase. Incredible sound, great looks. I have not used the bluetooth feature yet, but other aspects are flawless. It sounds even better if you can get it for about $130 from Amazon.

NO DRIVER

I bought this on the 23rd of june 08. I have had problems with this product ever since. The problem that I am having I can't transfer my music to this device. The people at samsung that can help me are only there from 8-4:30 pm. The problem that I am having is my computer is telling me there is no driver load for this device. If any one else is having this problem what did you do to correct it. I have update my driver on my computer many times but that still dosen't help. I have intstall/ reinstall the cd that come with this product many times nothing works. I am very disappointed with this product because I have two other samsung mp3 player and one is a t-9 and I don't have any problems with neither one. I am sending this yp-p2jab back and get a refund to buy something other than a samsung. Before I bought this I read the requirement for your computer. So I don't understand why I am having this problems.

Awesome MP3 Player!!

This is the best mp3 player! It has fantastic sound quality. Pictures and videos are really stunning on this 3" widescreen. FM radio is very clear. With a firmware update, you can even record the radio, which sounds terrific. In addition, with the new firmware, you can even play fun games, with its good touch screen. With other updates you can have a calculator to perform simple calculations; you can also create your own menus with EmoDio (a new version of Media Studio). This player also has bluetooth. It allows you to pair the player with a pair of headphones or bluetooth speakers. You can even transfer files wirelessly between bluetooth devices. The touch screen takes a little while to get used to, but after getting used to it, then it is really easy and fun to use. Its interface is cool and this player is fun to use. It has many useful extras like text viewer, alarms, and a world clock. Downloading music and video onto the P2 is very easy even with Samsung Media Studio. You just bring in the file into Media Studio, then you click the arrow and it converts it into the correct format, svi, then transfers it to the P2. Samsung has very good firmware updates that raise the value of their products and add more features. The first and second updates added added the ability to make calls with the P2 with bluetooth and transfer files to other bluetooth devices. It also improved the touchscreen interface so that it is more responsive. The 3rd update added games and more menu styles. This was followed by the fourth one that added a touchscreen calculator to the Samsung P2. As you have read, Samsung continues adding additional features to make the P2 even better. I think more people should buy this rather than an ipod. An 8 gb nano is about the same price, yet you get much more with this mp3 player. I really recommend this player and I think everyone should get this. If you are thinking of getting an ipod, think again and consider this P2. You will be glad that you did so.

Great player, minimal problems

Sound Quality: Great, a majority of average users will be more than satisfied; audiophiles may be slightly disappointed. Provided Headphones: Average, acceptable for common use, but for a significantly upgraded experience, invest in a slightly more expensive product. Video: Clear, smooth. Above average quality when encoded at 30fps. Bluetooth: Excellent functionality. Connected to my 5 year old Sony Ericsson T637 without a hitch. When a call comes in, music fades away and call is routed through the player. Can also make calls by entering a number, or by selecting an existing contact (requires you to bluetooth your addressbook to the player from your phone. in order to do this, make sure the two are NOT connected as a mobile device first). Functions as a headset when connected to a phone, wireless headphones when connected to bluetooth headphones/headset. Functionality requires a firmware upgrade (see below) Firmware/Software: Firmware upgrades easy and without problems, just follow the onscreen instructions from the software. Software functions okay as a media player; transfer is quick and conversion speed is acceptable for video. Microphone: Player with most recent firmware as of June 08 still does not have a voice recorder option. When relaying phone calls through the player, microphone is weak and requires either loud talking, or holding the mic end up to your mouth. Screen Button Size: I have small/thin fingers, and even I have trouble sometimes with the touchscreen buttons, especially at the bottom. Generally not a problem, you just need to be very conscious about exactly where you touch. Touchscreen: Easily picks up fingerprints, but also easily cleaned. Responsiveness is average, occasionally swiping left/right to go next/prev will activate the up/down volume control, and trying to swipe occasionally changes the visualization option instead. Outside of the Now Playing screen, functions well. Screen is bright and vivid indoors, but will be washed out and difficult to see outside. Battery Life: With bluetooth on, around 10 hours on full charge. Physical Buttons: On/Off/Play/Pause, Lock, Volume Up, Volume Down. USB Interface: Proprietary, requires the Samsung USB cable. When connected to a computer, the player is un-usable, and will display a USB Connected screen. When connected to power-only, player is usable. Most annoying problem IMHO: Tapping the visualization in the Now Playing screen changes it to the next available vis. This annoys me to no end, as I like to keep it on the Album Info vis (static, no animation).

Sansung Touch Screen MP3

I think its very nice, it's as good as advertised. The touch screen works well and it's easy to get around. The bluetooth link to your cell phone is great, and there is enough memory for what I need it for. The bad it that it must hook up to a usb port to recharge and all of the video has to be converted to some other format. But it is very easy to do with the Samsung media center provided.
