Summary: Poor reception, flawed design
Review: Had problems with the clip coming unattached from the unit. FM reception is mediocre, although probably on par with most walkman type devices of its class. Perhaps related to my unit in particular, but the socket connection became loose, making it possible to hear through only one channel.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Battery cover a definite problem
Review: I agree with ablee@concentric.net that the battery cover is way too insecure -- I'm lucky I haven't lost it. Although the station-lock feature is useful, the unit keeps beeping whenever the locked buttons are jostled. Finally, I wish they'd either include better earphones or leave them out and let us buy our own. On the plus side: convenient, and with good sound (using Koss portaphones!)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Battery pack a little loose but no problems. Good overall.
Review: I got this for Christmas and I really haven't had any problems with the battery cover, although it's come loose in my gym bag. I've had a couple of these portable sonys and this fits my hand the best. Best for females hands! The pulse meter doesn't really work too well. Doesn't sense your pulse consistently enough to measure it effectively.

Summary: Problem with Belt Clip
Review: I just purchased the SRF-M75PM and have had the same problem as everyone else with the belt clip coming off. I was jogging and the clip separated and the Walkman hit the pavement!

As far as the unit as a radio is is awesome. Especially with the mega bass and pulse monitor.

So if you run or jog, don't buy this unit.

I called Sony and they have no fix for the problem. This Walkman is going back to the store.

Summary: Great replacement for SRF-M70
Review: I own both the SRF-M70 and this new SRF-M75PM. This updated version offers an auto scanning tuner that automatically seeks out the next available station. This is especially useful when your traveling and have no idea what's on the dial. The only problem I've had with this unit is the hatch cover for the batteries, keeps falling off. I ended up taping it in place with some electrical tape. Except for this minor inconvenience, the new radio would have gotten 5 Stars in my rating.

Summary: its mostly piece of junk
Review: im usually a fan of sony walkmans,,,this one had the potential for greatness,but the design is sooo flawed, that the clip often comes off, sending the walkman flying and the batteries fly out. often times, when i pull the walkman out of my bag, the battery case has opened, and the batteries are out of the walkman, forcing me to reset my 10 preset stations. might seem trivial, but having had to reset the 10 stations probably 50 times in the few months ive owne the walkman, gets really annoying. good news is--given as many times as the clip has come undone sending the walkman flying--it takes a licking and keeps on ticking
