Summary: Manufacturing error?
Review: I loved this product... for about 2 months until the plastic around the handstrap broke ! I was actually stopped in the street by another girl with the same walkman who also had the same problem. The part that breaks is a very well shielded area right next to the belt hook. It appears to be an error in manufacturing as I took good care of my walkman, never dropped it and never treated it too harshly. Fortunately I am getting it repaired now but it is out of action for at least 3 weeks. Overall I found it to be a great model, ideal for running especailly with the thumb toggle which manipulates both tape and radio stations. This model however uses up more battery power than my previous walkman so beware. The hand strap is what makes this ideal for exercise unfortunately on mine - it broke.

Review: The thumb-operated cassette transport and radio tuning joystick is great for runners. You can control all essential functions with just your thumb! The unit fits comfortably in your hand, and there is a music seek function that lets you skip ahead to the next song. There is also a unique "beep" feedback that sounds in the headphones whenever you choose to play, stop, FF, REW, etc. This audible feedback is useful to confirm that you chose the correct function and that the player is doing what you asked it to. One feature that could have been added is a stopwatch timer. Some of the other Sony models have this feature, but it seems to be absent on this model. The safety LED flashers are great for early-morning or late-night runners.
