Samsung K3

Villain

I wanted to get an IRiver Clix2 however I was in London Monday and tried to pick one up and none of the major stores stocked them so I ended up picking up a 4GB Samsung K3, it probably suits me better as the Clix was geared for video a feature I wasn't big on.

Basically the K3 is simalar in size to the IPod Nano however there is one big difference this has a radio built in, that along with 4GB of mp3's at £109 sterling is excellent value imo. The player also looks very sexy. There is only really 2 downsides, the USB cable is not a standard cable i.e. don't lose it! and the big one imo.. you can't use the player while charging it.

Hadn't seen anything here about one so just said I'd post me experience.

i have one of these ordered - they look lovely i think i read somewhere that you can play it while charging - just disconnect it from the computer at the system tray but leave the cable in i think! can't wait for the postman to come do they scratch easily.

Is that the one with the built in speaker and bluetooth? what's a good price for a 4gig one?

Thanks for the link. The YP-T9 is the one I'd be edging towards, what's the difference between it and the k3?

The K3 is very slim and light almost the same as the Ipod Nano, the T9 is larger and plays Video not a feature I wanted as I really couldn't watch anything on a screen that size or waste the time converting the video.
