Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've played with a few "nano" sized MP3 players over the last few years, mainly from Samsung and Apple, and I have to say that the Phillips GoGear was hands down the worst experience. The overall design of this device is schizophrenic, not knowing whether it's mainly an MP3 player, extremely low-end video camera/camera, or a video player. It's not great at any of the three between problems with song file sorting/tag editing (the included software is similar to an iTunes light that is nowhere near as useful), as well as it's low megapixel rate.
To add insult to injury, the physical design of the click wheel is atrocious. Far and away my biggest complaint is with the un-intuitive and clunkily designed outer ring around the main click wheel which switches between modes (camera, mp3, etc.) It's way to easy to accidentally move just by handling the device which is super annoying. My player also kept freezing up when I'd accidentally move this wheel in mid video recording, requiring the use of a needle to push the super tiny reset button on the player.
Lastly the player is very light and just feels plastic-y and cheap. Coming in at the same price as the iPod Nano or the Samsung touch screen mp3 players, both of which feel sturdy, this was a shame.
I'm not a fanatic for any one company or device when it comes to playing digital music, but I can safely say I wouldn't purchase a Phillips brand device and would try anyone else before I did.
