I have an ipod shuffle, which i wear with the cord around my neck, rather than in my pocket etc. Does the Walkman come with a neck cord, or do you have to carry it in a pocket? I like my Shuffle, but the Walkman is a far superior device, and, well, its a Sony! Can you post a pic with it in your hand so i can judge its size better?
20gb Walkman for £198, is this a good buy?

UPDATE: Ok the CONNECT player software is driving me nuts, its insanly slow and its just crap. BUT thankfully it is compatable with sonicstage
+ also the volume seems to be a bit too low for my liking.
cheers

well Sonic Stage 3.3 is the best one so far and i havent had any problems with it yet.
can you rotate the screen on it like the HD5?

No you can't rotate the screen.
Advantages
- Very good battery life (20 HR on the 6GB version i got, its done about 21!)
- Clear screen
- Sytlish and compact form factor
- Good value for money
- Great navigation menu system, very SE like
- Can charge via AC!!! this is what really impressed me
Disadvantages
- Low volume (maybe theres a code to unlock this? i dunno)
- Crap CONNECT PLAYER software (use sonicstage and you'll be fine)
- Kinda slow sometimes (e.g. it hangs for a while to load up and search songs etc but its not insanely slow)
theres not that many bad points really, if they solve the volume in the future firmwire updates. Thats all really, the screen hasnt got any scratches on it so far and its been in with other stuff so its not bad, and sony could of included some decent headphones

i hope they havent done what apple have done and put a sound limiter on it! it drives me mad with my ipod mini, i swear if i am on a bus or somewhere else loud then max volume is only just audible over the back ground noise - but it is no where near loud enough! and all this cos the stupid bloody french got some silly max volume limit so to save money apple just produce one product for the whole of europe and limit the volume on them all with no way to take the limiter off! i mean i am sorry but as a mature human being i think it is up to me how loud i want my music, i mean include the limiter for legal reasons by all means but allow your users to turn it off!!!
