Summary: A great tool for people on the run!
Review: This is a great tool for recording important info on the run. As a Builder I have gotten very use to the convenience of recording important notes and thoughts as I go for playback and placing them in my day planner for latter retrevial and action! If you are looking for high tech voice recognition this is not for you! If you want a basic tool to handle large amounts of information fast this is for you! The only bad thing is the recorder likes to turn on by itself in your pocket which can mean problems!

Summary: Great little gadget
Review: This recorder is an excellent piece of electronics. It is easy to use, and has some handy features such as pause (while recording in the same message), fast playback, hold (to prevent inadvertant button operation), and forward or back skip. Holding in the stop key allows one to see how much recording time is left. The erase button is indented to avoid accidents, and the user is prompted to confirm any erasures with a second press.

Voice quality is great in 33 minute mode. I frequently use mine in the car with the radio on and get excellent results. In 90 min mode, however, a deep voice is hard to make out clearly (I agree with the reviewer below: a 60 min. mode would have been a good compromise).

I've used mine daily for 3 months to make brief notes. I had to change the AAA battery for the first time only recently. It gave a low battery signal and saved all my messages while I replaced the battery.

It is small enough (4.5") that I keep mine in my front pocket at all times, with the strap hanging out so I can whip it out quickly. It is very well designed and easy to operate. I have not used other digital recorders, but compared to the many microcassette recorders I've put up with, this thing is fantastic!

Summary: Olympus V90 3 Month User
Review: This recorder is my second digital recorder and is twice as good as the previous one at half the price. This unit records exceptionally well in the shorter 33 minute mode, though I have to use headphones to understand the 90 minute mode. A 60 minute mode would have been a good compromise.

The voice activiation is so good that a series of comments when played back sound like an uninterrupted sentence. In the high sensitivity mode I can record someone talking in a quiet room from over 12 feet away. It is so small that one can put it in a shirt pocket and record a coversation. The unit does not have a carrying case, so I use a knife sheath that attaches to my belt. This way I always have it when needed. The V90 has the ability to record a message with a playback alarm that goes off at a certain time of the day. It cannot record a bunch of messages with varying playback times. That would be a useful feature. Expect to see the price of these units drop as technology improves. As far as improvements, I would like to see a unit that records on command such as "V90..record" and it would say "Recording" and then you would record until you say "end recording". Then you could also command it to "set playback for May 21 at 10 PM"

Maybe someday.

Summary: Takes a bath and everything
Review: What can I say. I bought this recorder when it was just out. I use it every day... prts of my life are recorded on it (notes etc..). One day I was taking clothes out of the dry and my heart stopped. There on the floor was the battery cover. Next I found the battery and next the recorder. I put it togther and it worked! I didn't even loose my other recorded messages. The only change... it was cleaner than when it started!
