This looks to be a very good MP3 player with tons of features but I think they should reduce its price further, since the ipod touch is being sold for just $50 more.

I am a gadget freak. I’ve owned them all, cowon, iriver, meizu, archos, and many gen’s of ipods.
With the iphone (touch is even smaller) apple hit a homerun. The interface and ease of use is far superior to anything on the market, handsdown. If you say different, then you have not compared the apple touch interface first hand.
The sammy is a good looking piece of hardware with a nice bright and very colorful screen. the only major problem is that the interface is lame. The touch is not responsive as comparedto the apple touch and the whole interface seems somewhat incomplete. i guess if i never had used a iphone or touch i would think that this is far superior to the archos and cowon touch screens. But, the apple has no peer.
If you like ease of use, simplicity in your devise with beutiful asctetics, go with the apple touch or iphone. If you are a apple hater, then the sammy is a good choice but still you owe it to yourself to look at the apple touch). People bash apple as being propriatary in codecs and cables andsuch, but the sammy is very limited in codec support and the ease of ripping a dvd to the sammy is way to dificult and slow. I use a mac and with XNJB it is no problem getting mp3’s on the P2 , but video encoding with the sammy software stinks. Handbrake for the apple anyday. Speed and ease of use (also good for PSP and PS3).
I will be returning the P2 as it does not compare on most fronts w my iphone (i am comparing only those features they share, granted the iphone has way more features, i am not knocking the sammy for that).

There is one significant problem with this unit. I connected two bluetooth Motorola S9 headsets to it and the music slows dramatically, making it almost useless. I have downloaded firmware 3.15 but it doesn’t help. We use the unit to train in ballroom dance and thought it would be ideal to have both people listening to music off 1 unit. Until they fix this problem I would steer clear.

Product was on back order for a few days even though website said was in stock.(It was for my daughters birthday) When she finally got it, it didn’t want to turn on and so after I called Samsung directly they said it was a manufacture defect. They were going to fix it free of charge for me but it would take 2 weeks. Since it was almost my daughters’ birthday I said I would send it back to where I got it from because Amazon has a very good return/exchange policy. I went to their online return site and sent the player back to Amazon.(I think their policy was that they send you a replacement as soon as they get my return notification) It’s been almost a month later and my daughter still doesn’t have her birthday present! (Email said product was backordered till Oct 15! But when I look online it says that it’s in stock)
I’m sure this is a good player because I have other Samsung players but if I knew it was going to take this long I should have gotten a refund and ordered it from someplace else.

There are lot of 8GIG FLASH MP3 players on the market (Sony, ZUNE, iRiver to name a few). I bought this one because it was locally available and it is UMS (like iRiver CLIX). I wasn’t impressed with the sound quality (compared side by side with my iRiver H320) and the touch screen controls are very difficult to handle (for me), if you have chunky fingers. In the store I had a chance to play with an iPOD TOUCH, iPod has larger touch area and easier to controll but Samsung is smaller and nicer. I expected a bit more for $249. I will go back to tactile keypad. This is just my opinion I see other users like it very much.
