Samsung YP-Z5 4GB reviews - good and bad

First the good:

Samsung's YP-Z5 is a decent MP3 player that's let down by the need the company feels to match Apple's formula as closely as possible. The Z5 has a good-looking screen and a stylish UI. It plays music well. The battery life is very impressive. The Z5's design is inoffensive but its attempt to offer a worthy alternative to the iPod's clickwheel was a deal-breaker for me: it's slow, fiddly, and too often counter-intuitive and confusing.

And then the bad:

Samsung definitely has the brains to pull off an iPod killer, and they were so close to actually succeeding that it makes me cringe to see what amounts to a bare-bones digital audio player. While the YP-Z5 has the right dimensions, look, storage capacity and price, the sheer number of missing features gives a strong sense of buyer's remorse. No data storage, no games, no contact/calendar synchronization, no FM or microphone recording, and no custom EQs set the YP-Z5 way behind other MP3 players in its class. Add in one of the worst control systems I've ever dealt with and I'd advise you to stay far away from this one.
