General Comments
Keep away from this Frontier Labs NEX ia Portable MP3 Player. It is a joke. I was lurred in by the 'excellent' reviews. The ability to use external CF cards is not worth buying it even a little bit.



- cheap plastic look

- on/off switch hard to move, again cheap plastic

- have to switch off/on after auto power off. SO if you keep it in the pouch then you have to remove from the pouch everytime you need to turn it on

- after turning on you have to select which mode to play instead of start playing MP3 files straight away. This is really inconvenient

- fast forward stopped working after 1 week. Now FF works like and I don't bother return it as you are required to mail the guarantee card within 14 days of purchase. Since I buy it through the Net, I expect to be able to register it via the Net.

- I also have the CreativeLabs Muvo NX. I definitely recommend the Muvo NX which has the same price as the NEX IA + 256MB CF but the quality is far far better, no moving parts, excellent quality, lighter , fast to start.



Conclusion: keep away from this device. I shelve it after one week. It's a waste of money and time.

I do not even bother to return it as you have to pay all shipment cost.
