Summary: Highly useful, durable, small and easy to operate.
Review: I up graded to the VT300 from a "Voice It" VT90. The extended recording time was the main reason. Like most harried Americans I have a life on the run. I find myself always in need of a scrap of paper and a pen to jot down fleeing thoughts. "Voice It" has helped simplified my beleaguered world by giving me the quick ability to capture my retreating memories. Now, when I have a 'brain burp', and need to remember that which I will undoubtable forget, I just grab this little black device, punch record, and retain that brilliant thought that will bring forth the next great invention for our generation - like "buy T.P.."The VT300 is a solid performer, and the battery life has improved significantly over the first models. The sound quality is adequate, its playback volume (though not adjustable) is sufficient and the microphone sensitivity is appropriate. I like the layout of the buttons. They are tactical and easily felt when driving or in the dark of night. I often leave my VT300 by my bed side where I can reach pick it up and capture my last thought before sleep. I also found the "Voice It" to be a great device for recording your dreams in the middle of the night. I found the recorder to be most durable. I have sat on it, dropped it and spit coffee on it yet like the bunny, it runs and runs. I commend buying "Voice It 300", over the VT90, as the difference in price is slight ([amt]). For those, like me, with porous memories, this very small, easy to use, pocket recorder will be continually used. Recommended

Summary: VXI ruined a great thing
Review: I was given a VT 300 for Christmas. After some 20 - 25 short messages and 5 months later the unit failed to respond. I tried replacing the batteries ( 5 times with brand new Duracells) but to no avail. Upon calling VXI, the customer rep told me to initialize the unit, again to no avail. She further told me since the unit was older than 3 months she could do nothing. And NOTHING VXI did! Well a 3 - 5 month performance for the price IS NOT good for me. VXI keep your indifferent attitudes, your clearly inferior products and my money. Good bye!

Summary: Nice Product, Poor Quality Control
Review: I, too, upgraded from the VT-90 to the VT-300 for the extra time capacity. I also prefer not having to shop for foolish watch battery sizes. Standard AAA's are MUCH easier to find and last a lot longer. A volume control would be nice, since playback is loud, and that sucks battery life fast! Talking quieter into the unit improves the loudness, but fidelity fades along with it. BUT -- my biggest gripe is the cheap buttons. They gradually deteriorated over time, either failing to connect or bouncing (start-and-stop recording immediately), missing the recording repeatedly. Now, I can't even get it to operate 1 time out of 30 button presses. The BEST feature is how compact it is. Nobody else has one that even comes close in size. Too bad they didn't design a better keypad.

Summary: Built tough
Review: This is a mixed review. I have owned two Voice Its (and several other brands) to date. The first one was my constant companion LOVED IT! It died in the wash a couple of weeks ago (I'm still in mourning!) The good stuff: Excellent sound, tough case, it took a daily beating in my pocket. I dropped it many times, as you would expect from something handled so much. The battery door doesn't fall off when handled roughly (within reason). The smooth case doesn't get hung up on things in your pocket. Thin profile doesn't create a bulge either. Very light in weight. Simple to use. The bad stuff: Had to pour some plastic model glue over the "Erase All" button in order to stiffen it up. This helps to prevent accidentally wiping out your entire weeks to-do list! It happened to me more than once, after accidentally bumping it into something inside or outside my pocket. It has a lock/unlock mode but holding down a button for five to six seconds just isn't convenient when your really on the move. The glue trick worked perfectly, however (I hope you Voice It guys are listening) a recessed "Erase All" button would be even better. You seldom use this feature, and a reset hole you push with a paper clip would be the safest bet. Also (still listening?) an optional rubber bumper that would slip around the edge of the unit would help its shock worthiness, and keep it from slipping out of your shirt pocket so easily. By the way the second (bought a back up unit,with the first) is in my pocket only the sound [is bad] on this one. (too late to send it back) If it doesn't sound good when you first buy it don't keep it!
