 95% perfect October 16, 2008

the p2 is an amazing product, and samsung really did a great job making this product, because almost everything about it makes it better than its competition (itouch.)
+pros
-excellent sound quality and EQ.- the p2 has phenominal sound quality when compared to other mp3 players, and the ipod especailly. it sounds great without eq as it is, but there is 10 preset sounds in the menu, and mydNSE, which is custom eq you set up yourself. with the updated firmware, you can save 3 custom settings. given you have a good pair of wired headphones (opt. bluetooth disable the eq), the clarity and treble are ever present, the mids are excellent, and the bass comes out heavy and undistorted, giving an overall well polished sound. given the fact i'm hardcore audiophile, i know what quality sound is..
-touch screen/display quality- the touch interface is excellently designed minus a few quirks do to samsung going feature crazy and thinking of 2 or 3 different ways to do the same task. but otherwise navigation is easy and to the point. and its FUN. screen is extremely sensitive, no pressure is required, and it only responds to your fingertips.(there is a certain way to use your fingers to use it though, explained in the box) the screen is very clear, and all the colours are rich and full. clarity is insurpassed by anything ive ever seen but an hdtv. with pics from my fuji camera on it, the quality is nothing less than perfect. i dont have much to say about the video quality, i only have music videos. but its good as far as i can judge. 30 fps video encoding is a plus.
-bluetooth- no other music player i can thnk of has bluetooth(im sure their out there) the p2 can be paired with cell phones for making calls, which is pretty much a useless feature, but it can also be paired with b.t. headsets. i have sony br-dt22's, which dont cut, have good clarity and sounds pretty high quality. i dont like that the eq is disabled when i use them though.
value- considerable value, even at full retail price($225), i got mine for $135. and everywhere i looked on the web they were on sale. bluetooth sets it apart from the mainstream
now the cons..
battery life- even though the battery is claimed to go for 30 hours on 1 charge, samsung is off by about 24-27 hours. just the smallest change in settings, such as upping the brightness by 1 notch, or most noticeably using custom eq, the battery life is significantly decreased, common in samsungs history of mp3 players. using bluetooth headphones instead of corded headphones definitely helps.
-glare/ prone to smudges and scratches- the display is excellent, but when exposed to the sun, any smudges and scratches(which come in excess after using the p2 for awhile,) make it almost impossible to see the display, even on max brightness.
-proprietary usb- you cant charge off the cable, which, unless you have a laptop handy, makes it difficult to use for extended peroids of time on a trip.
-MEMORY- p2 lost its 5th star here because there isn't enough memory! surely they could have fit another few gigs in it standard. i lost my abilty to sync entire albums, now i have to pick out the indiv. songs and data i want. even the nano (4g) has more standard. consider either compression software or get the 8gb. a 16gb is coming.
even though its got a few problems, its worth checking out because of value, features, (samsung went completely feature crazy on this one), bluetooth, and the touch screen is fun and easy to use. ipod killer is a bonus
 It's SO pretty! August 2, 2008

I've always been a samsung fan, and this is definitely a great product. Sound is great, features are great and as always, it's so pretty!!
Great buy July 12, 2008
Sandip Bhattacharjee (CT United States)
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.
Awesome MP3 Player!! June 29, 2008

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. Best of all, each of these updates are all free!
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. It has a wonderful touchscreen interface unlike the ipod. It has a 3 inch screen compared to the ipod nano's 2 inch screen. In addition it has FM radio, bluetooth capabilities. Best of all you are not stuck using iTunes. You can easily transfer files with Windows Explorer or Windows Media Player or the included Samsung software.
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.
