what mp3 player for work?
« on: May 26, 2010, 09:08:47 pm »
hi been using philips Sa2820 2gb been getting them on ebay for about £10-£20, but i think they have been discontinued? and replaced with one for about £30.

does anyone use one which is just as cheap and good?

ive used creatives, and been thru loads of them, never buying them again,

no way am i going to spend £100 on a ipod!

or is worth spending a bit on an indestructable? ie., wife washing hers in the machine!

Design and user friendlyness is good I'll admit but sound quality is poor compared to quite a few other players
Sony, Creative, Sansa to name a few.

I have a nokia 5800 comes with music get free downloads of pretty much any song i have searched for so far, 8 ggb hd got about 600 tunes so far

Good sound on external speaker too, plus good with earphones, and has a radio its pretty good, only problems are i cant upgrade phone or i lose my music, and the battery dies at about dinner time if i start at 8 am and listen constantly which i normally do howeever i could just buy another battery :)

I do have an ipod and they are pretty good too, my bro in law has been through all the budget mp3s and probably spent mor than if he just bought an ipod to start with whic he has now and likes

Sean.... I've have the same phone you got.
I turn radio on in the morning and it's still on when I get home, add to that at least an hour on the phone and I still have charge left.
My radio reception ain't that good though
bit hit and miss in some areas.

What do you mean by

It's stored on the memory card so just take it out.
Also update to v50 software, few bugs sorted out :)
