Summary: Olympus VN-900
Review: Great product except for one irritating flaw. The clip should be mounted on the back of the device not on the side. Clip this into your shirt pocket and you have a 1.5" bulge in your pocket, hang it on your belt and it sticks out waiting to crach into something. The clip is useless so it floats around in your pocket; it took 3 days for me to lose mine when it fell out of my coat pocket.

Summary: Great size, good price. LP quality not usable
Review: I recommend this voice recorder. The size is excellent. I carry it everywhere in my pocket and use it everyday at least once. Haven't had to change the batteries yet after 3 months of use. It's easy to use, easy to organize your recordings and will keep track of when you recorded them (date and time). It doubles as a pocket clock for those without a wristwatch.You can even keep it by your bedside and use it at night if you have to make a note. The REC button is easy to locate and there's a small red light for when it's recording. The voice detection feature works well, too (it stops recording during periods of silence). You can turn on distinctive beeps in the menu, which could work pretty well for the visually impaired. The reason I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 stars is because it claims 90 minutes of recording time at LP, when SP (33 min) and HQ (15 min?) are the only modes that produce voice recordings you can actually understand. If you think you need more than 30 minutes, go for the model with more recording time.

Summary: Handy and dependable
Review: I've been using this recorder for 6 months now, and I've had no problems with it. I changed batteries only once, and that was at the end of a semester's worth of voice lessons. It fits right in the palm of my hand and the design of the back makes it easy to grip with one hand (either left or right). It slips easily into a shirt or pants pocket. It's also relatively easy to use. Recording quality is good. Recording time at high quality (HQ) is around 20 mins., which fit my needs quite well. I would not have survived my voice lessons without this handy little helper!

Summary: Powerfull Little Device!
Review: I've had this recorder for almost a year. I've dropped it, gotten it wet, and it's still ticking! Never had any problems with it; it's been a huge asset in my record keeping. I HIGHLY recommend this recorder!!!

Summary: Perfect product, but misrepresented
Review: The VN900 is a wonderful product. It is the smallest of kind, easy to use, has powerful extra features like programmable alarms to help you remember when and what to do on a busy day. The battery consumption is nill, much lower than some competative products. It suits my purposes perfectly. but . . . It does NOT record 90 minutes of voice. In LP mode the sound quality is SOOO poor that it is USELESS. Ninety minutes of muffled incomprehensible noise is perfectly USELESS, a stupid choice on the part of Olympus. The medium and high quality modes are quite good, but you only get 33 and 22 minutes! Folks, this model should be called VN330, not VN900

Review: This is a fantastic product. I bought one for my Father-in-law and liked it so much I just had to buy one for myself! It's small enough to slip easily into my pocket so it's always available. I use it for to-do lists, short personal memos, and to dictate correspondence. I couldn't be more pleased!

Summary: Perfect little number
Review: This is a supa little recording device. Very compact and easy to use. I agree that the LP mode is rather crap, but it does work for emergency long recordings (if you were say kidnapped and held in a small box and needed to record what the criminals were saying). The HQ mode is cool tho, offering 22mins of hi-quality recording time. I mainly use it for recording ideas for tunes that I have whilst away from my Mac, so 22 mins is easily long enough. Much better than trying to remember a tune in you head until you get home.
