4 out of 5 stars Definately durable.......2006-05-30

I recieved a MuVo a couple years ago and it's still with me despite dropping it frequently on hard floors and nearly flushing it down a toilet (don't ask). The only thing that has happened is that the battery cover has broken from dropping it.
My only qualms with it are that it's not compatible with iTunes, and the battery life is not very good, though it only takes one AAA. Music fans shouldn't rely on this player, buy a hard drive mp3 player with a large lcd if you plan on exceeding 25 songs, because scrolling through each song instead of having a list is an annoyance.
But, if your only looking for a small durable companion this is a
good buy

2 out of 5 stars Defective or just 2X bad luck?.......2006-02-25

I love this mp3 player-- it fits everywhere, has a long battery life, reasonable quality audio for recording, efficient with space, very user-friendly, etc.
My only problem with this player is that I have had two defective ones. The first player brought me joy and happiness until 2 weeks of living with me, when it would shut off every time it was ready to advance to the next song. That's fine. So I got a replacement.
This current one was fine for 10 weeks until it would shut off even before I could fully power it on. This only happens 75% of the time, but that is definitely inconvenient, since I don't know how to prevent the incidences.
Aside from my negative experiences, its wonderful versatility is suitable for most activities... providing it works.
The problems I'm having are seemingly unrelated, and since I've followed the manual for usage since day-1, I doubt its my fault.

5 out of 5 stars Great LIttle MP3.......2006-02-11

For the price, this small MP3 player delivers on quality. It was a gift for my technology-challenged teen who needed the recording capability of this player. It makes a decent recording but actually is being used more as the MP3 player. It's very small, easy to use and we have been very impressed overall with this great little player.

4 out of 5 stars Great little MP3 player, but lacks a random button.......2005-12-16

I own the white micro, and it works great. I am relatively abuseive to my electronics, dropping them, pilling stuff on top of them. and the Micro has responded well. It comes with a rubber cover which helps protect it (and yes, it does bounce). The earbuds it came with were great. The menu is easy to figure out, and while the FM signal strength leave something to be desired, it only like 2 inches long, so thats kind of expected...

My biggest complaints (and really, what else is to complain about with this player) is that you can't set a playlist or random play (without a big hassel). It sets its own playlist: alphabetically. If you rearrange your mp3s by artist first, it will play them grouped together. If you want to set a playlist, Creative Labs told me that I needed to go and physically alter the file name of the song, putting something before the artist or title, whichever comes first in your setup. Thats fine if you only want to set one playlist forever and never change the songs, but if you want to be able to add and delete new songs, thats not a reasonable option.
There is a new MuVo MIX available from creative labs that takes care of the lack of a random button. I haven't tried it yet, but if they kept the rest of the features of this great player, they've taken care of its most glaring flaw!

5 out of 5 stars Creative Muvo Micro - Feature Packed, Good Value MP3 player.......2005-11-08

The Creative Muvo Micro N200 MP3 player may not be found in the market, as it has been 'replaced' by a 'new' model called the Zen Nano Plus, which seems to be the same model with a new name. I think that this review can apply to new player as well.

As regards the player:

The Creative Muvo Micro is a flash based MP3 player, not hard-disk based, unlike the Apple iPod. Let's see it according to various parameters:

1. Style:
Well, the MP3 players from creative have been stylish, and this one is no exception. It is almost the size of a cigarette lighter, and only slightly larger than a matchbox. While this may seem de riguer for all flash based players these days, not all of them can truly claim to be this small in reality. The Micro is basically a rectangular/cuboidal shape with soft edges and a small display (which is not colored, but suits a player of this size). Of course, some MP3 players like Sandisk's Flash range offer a bigger display, but are also bigger in size overall.

2. Build:
This is one area where I feel the player could have done a bit better, It is well made, even though it is constructed in plastic, but the volume and play/power button are a wee bit flimsy. Nothing to worry about, of course, unless you have a 6 year old with a penchant for using it as a WMD ;)

3. Features:
This is the Creative's USP. It is one player that is loaded to the gills with features such as a FM radio with FM Radio Recording, Microphone, and even Line-in recording, for converting songs from cassettes directly to MP3 using th player alone. No need of the computer. In addition, the player has 4 equalizer settings, and even a customizable one. And of course, it plays music brilliantly. My player has 256MB of memory which holds about 50-60songs, and the player also comes in 128MB, 512MB and 1GB versions. I would advice you to avoid the 1GB version, as it is expensive, and at that price, I'd rather say you stretch your budget for the uber-cool 2GB iPod Nano. (which has a colour screen, but no FM radio).

4. Sound:
This of course is the primary thing anyone should look for in an MP3 player, and the Creative does not disappoint. The sound quality is quite good, and can handle all genres of music from Pop to Rock to Hip-Hop, Trance... and everything in between. The earphones provided are of an excellent quality, with a nice comfortable padding, and feel quite good to use even for long durations. The volume may need to pumped up a bit for listening in loud situations, but i found that a software update on the net loudens up the set quite a bit, providing even louder volume, which is good.

5. Other features:
The player also comes with a very nice rubber-like extra cover to protect it. This cover is white and translucent, and lets you access the controls very easily. IT also doubles up as a belt clip, and the Micro also comes with a shoulder strap. The cover is quite good, as it saved the player from getting scratches when I dropped it.

A few quirks/drawbacks of the player:

There area a few drawbacks to the Muvo, primarily the weird sort of faint buzzing sound which comes whenever the backlight is on. This can or cannot be a major issue, and I guess most owners have come to accept and live with this. This problem is only heard when you are changing songs, in the silent period between the change of songs. For once the song is being played, you cannot hear the buzz in the background. Besides, I found that, unless you use the player at night or in a dark room, you do not need the backlight. In a moderately lit room, the backlight is not needed.

The other quirk is the relative lack of FM signal strength. I say relative, as compared to other players, as reception is quite good. It may only get a bit fuzzy if you are in a lift or a closed room with no windows ;). You have to manually scan for the FM stations, as Auto scan can't pick them up very effectively, but once you've got your station of choice, you only need to save it to the Preset mode, and you can access it at the flick of a switch.

Overall, the Muvo Micro is a very nice MP3 player to have. For those concerned about the slight Buzz, you can try Creative's Muvo TX FM, which has the same features, but is slightly larger.

3 out of 5 stars Very Nice, a little heavy.......2007-07-09

I got mine brand new off of ebay

pros-
fast charging 50% faster than my oem charger
nicely designed
comes with 11 laptop tips
can charge a cell phone at the same time
comes with carrying case

cons-
it has a plastic case that I cracked within the hour of getting it (case can come off NBD)
double the weight of OEM charger, same size
doesn't come with the adaptor for cell phones must be bought seperatly

2 out of 5 stars Okay, but too large.......2006-11-04

It works fine, but is much larger than other options...even other options from iGo.

1 out of 5 stars Doesn't t work with DELL!!! Poor tech support........2006-08-05

I bought the iGo Juice 70. Seems like a good idea with auto adaptor. However, the DELL adaptor does not charge the computer (it's "power only"). I can't think of reason why anyone would spend $100 on a mobile charger that doesn't charge the device. They don't make this clear through their website or their third party vendors. On top of it all their customer service wouldn't take the return and told me I should have known.

The charger with adaptors ends up being almost as bulky as all your chargers in the first place. They also didn't have 2 out of 3 adaptors I needed.

4 out of 5 stars Good product, just a bit heavy.......2006-06-12

I agonized for a while over which universal power adapter to buy for my two sony laptops. Some other brands did not support the power requirements of my Sonys, so i choose iGo. I settled on this model because i didnt want to pay more for auto/air (igo everywhere 7500) and this looked to be the best price for what i got.

pros-
good price for the functionality i wanted. Cheaper than the OEM replacement.

seems to have adapters for any laptop i may need to power.

available dualpower adapter to charge a phone or ipod at the same time (i didnt need this).

carrying case with cable ties keep things orderly when not in use.

cons-
its very heavy. it feels twice as heavy as the power bricks that came with my laptops (physically its about the same size as the larger of my two). right now this one stays home while the OEM brick travels with me.

the cables feel a bit more fragile than the OEM one. I dont expect this one to last as long, but for me its just a backup so that is fine.

there are so many tips, i often forget which is which (so i grabbed a sharpie and marked them up). there is no good way to keep them organized or separated in the carry case.


overall im pleased with it. im not sure why they made it blue, but it doesnt look obnoxious.

        Great camera at a really great price. Can't figure why Pentax stopped making it. It's one of, if not the only, really small pocket cameras with a 5X zoom and 5 mega pixels is plenty for the average photos.

        I purchased the camera for my girlfriend back in December 2004. I liked the idea that it had 5x zoom and assumed the shutter lag problems of the previous models would be resolved. The shutter lag remained a problem but worse was the battery life and the most disappointing is my experience with customer service. The camera would just die on us after just a few pictures and less than an hour after charging overnight this would cause the lens to stall in a half closed position allowing sand to enter the lens. We sent it for service who said there was sand in the lens but claimed they repaired the problem. When we received the camera back the problem persisted. I tried buying another battery but neither stayed charged and the lens continued to get stuck half closed. We sent it back to Pentax and this time they said sand was causing the problem again (it was never exposed to sand since its return from Pentax). Pentax wanted to charge a couple hundred $ to fix it and when we refused to pay for the repair they returned the camera in pieces. I once again called and complained and am yet to hear back from Pentax. I will never buy another Pentax camera again after being subjected to this customer service.

        5 out of 5 stars Best Cordless I ever owned!.......2007-07-30

        This is a great phone and I would suspect the people complaining about the static probably have the base unit located somewhere they should not have it located. And for network interference that is typical of 2.4 phones. You need to adjust your WI-FI settings to a different channel and that will probably fix the problem.

        I have owned this phone for over 4 years and it works as good as it did the first day I bought it. In fact, I've had other cordless phones come and go, but keep hanging on to this one because it is so reliable and works so well.

        Has nice features like the side rubber grips, lighted keypad, and easily adjustable volume. What I also like is the phone is solid and feels solid. It is not a lighweight piece of plastic that you think will break if you drop it.

        I'm not a big Motorola fan, but when it comes to this phone I am.

        5 out of 5 stars Good Phone.......2007-03-24

        I have had this model for over 2 years now with no problems, no static (like some are saying),or any other malfunctions. The volume is adjustable if you can't hear the other person calling. The ring tone volume can also be adjusted, and needs to be if the battery runs down(when the battery dies the phone resets to the default settings, no big deal to adjust). Every complaint I've read, I have never experienced in the over 2 years I've had mine. I do not have wifi at home so that may be an issue if you have a wireless network.
        Don't be afraid to buy it, it's a perfectly good phone.

        5 out of 5 stars CORDLESS PHONE.......2007-02-18

        I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THIS PRODUCT AND WITH THE PRICE. THE SHIPPING WAS VERY FAST.

        3 out of 5 stars good grippy feel, but interferes with WiFi.......2006-10-17

        The rubbery sides feel nice, and the keypad had a gentle glow when the phone is in the base, just enough to let you find the phone in the dark. And the volume can be turned up nice & loud.

        The bad part is that it's on the same freq as WiFi. Our phone & WiFi worked together well until recently. Now the only way we can consistently get a dialtone on ANY phone in the house is to completely disconnect the wireless phone base from the wall.

        1 out of 5 stars I hate this phone.......2006-02-25

        I have the phone/answering machine model. More than half of the time the caller ID doesn't save the missed calls (so you can at least see who called you while you were out), but my biggest complaint is that you have to listen to all of the saved messages again to get to the new messages. What a waste of time.

        1 out of 5 stars Very Dissappointed.......1999-12-20

        This camera comes with no instructions or warranty information. The zoom feature doesn't exist as indicated in the technical data and editorial reviews. It doesn't even seem to be the camera advertised, but then who knows for sure when no written information is included.
