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
Rating: Summary: The CLip STINKS Review: The flimsy belt clip does not work properly. It pops off continuously. My first time using this walkman while on a run, it popped off of my side three times and dropped to the floor. Currently this is worthless for the sports enthusiast.
Rating: Summary: AWESOME! Review: This product is not typical of Sony quality. I can't believe that Sony can sell this product with a straight face. The problem is when you drop this walkman while running or excercising the batteries fly out and you lose all your preset stations. The clasp that holds the batteries in the radio is flimsy and not designed to sustain an average drop. The old Sony design use to have a heavy duty screw that locked the batteries in the walkman and you can drop it all day long without your batteries flying all over the place and losing your preset stations. Why did Sony re-design something that was already great ? There are many better Sports Walkmans out there. Don't buy this one.

Rating: Summary: Battery Hatch - Button Location Review: Yes, I had to tape my battery hatch shut too. Even then the hatch jiggled the batteries, turning it off and restting the time etc. I had high hopes for the design but the grip put my fingers over buttons that I kept accidentally pressing during runs.
