User Reviews for Samsung Samsung YP-P2

Reviewed by: joelerch

Duration of ownership: 2 Months

Strengths: great size for hand and pocket,very custmizible

Weaknesses: not expandable, scrolling isn't smooth, lost album art, screen can scratch, a little unstable

Overall Evaluation: I love my black, 8GB P2. I found it to be a very well thought out product that has many very neat and helpful features, such as being able to answer a phone via Bluetooth. I greatly look forward to all future firmware updates which bring new ideas every time. I would strongly recomend this Mp3 player to almost everyone.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Overall Design, Sound, Display, Slim, Bluetooth to Mobile Phone Connection and much more....

Weaknesses: ...trying to discover a weakness.

Overall Evaluation: I have been using this device nonstop for over two months now. I must say, I am truly impressed. I use it for running, working out, commuting in Manhattan's noisy subways and listening to it while driving. Through headphones the sound is as amazing as it is played through my BMW AUX link. Everyone is surprised at the clarity of sound. The display is vivid and sharp. Navigating the device is easy w/an impressive layout. There is plenty of space (8GB). The latest Napster and Rhapsody easily detect this device. All album art transfers automatically with subscription services without issue. IPOD cults eat your heart out! I have tested and saw buried several broken IPods; Samsung has delivered a product that desecrates your false God. You will not be disappointed with the Samsung P2 8GB!!

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Good design, easy interface, bluetooth available.

Weaknesses: sometimes trembling pictures in watching movies.common earphone.

Overall Evaluation: I think YP-P2 mp3player is good one.Most of all, it is easy to use by only finger touch in display.It is helpful in bag or pocket to avoid malfuctions by unexpected touch.Secondly, it has slim sleek design and bluetooth is available, also sound fuction is not bad.In addition, firmware upgrade is suitable for users.But, sometimes there is breaking pictures in watching movies. I am not for sure but it is caused by movie format or movie capacity.Earphone is common and looks fragile.Anyway, YP-P2 is useful for me.

Strengths: Powerful user interface, Feature upgrade

Weaknesses: Still need to convert video clips from PC

Overall Evaluation: I think many advanced features were implemented in YP-P2 compred to just a normal MP3 player. I like viewing video, images, and touch pad user interface.I upgraded the 2nd version of firmware and it was great.You may check this link for the 2nd f/w changes.http://goitworld.blogspot.com/2008/02/samsung-yp-p2s-new-firmware-changes.html

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Bluetooth, thin, touch screen, doesn't require additional software to add music, frequent firmware updates add additional features

Weaknesses: Does require additional software to transcode video onto the device

Overall Evaluation: I absolutely love this player! Its even more beautiful in person than it looks in the pictures. The main reason I picked it up is because is has Bluetooth. I use Bluetooth headphones when I work out and its great to not need to dongle anymore. Plus now I can control the player from the headset so my workout is not interrupted when switching tracks (and I don't have wires getting in the way). Samsung has done a great job supporting this device. They have put out a firmware update every few months to add additional features.
