Samsung YP-P2JAB User Said:

Samsung YP-P2JAB is my third Samsung mp3 player. I own a YP-MT6Z, a YP-T9, and now this. I’m really thoroughly impressed with Samsung YP-P2JAB. The touch screen interface simplifies some tasks, such as quickly finding a song in a list. No more multiple button presses, just scroll your finger down to the song and tap.

The Samsung P2 YP-P2JAB screen is beautiful and clear. They give you two screen protectors, but I’m horrible at applying them, so I just keep a microfiber cloth handy.

Samsung P2 YP-P2JAB comes with a nice mini stand that allows you to prop the device up at an angle while it’s on a flat surface. That way you don’t have to carry it in your hand while you watch video.

Video is clear and smooth. Be certain to configure the media studio to encode at 30 fps, because it defaults to 15, and that’s too choppy.

I don’t have bluetooth headphones, but I’d love to use that functionality. Turn it off if you don’t have the headphones, though (it is on by default).

The ability to hear your music while browsing the other menus is really good. I can play a song, go through some photos, change some settings, build a playlist, and never have to worry about my current song stopping.

Gesture based functions come off without a hitch. Personally, the earbuds provided do not stay in my ears, but they do provide a decent sound quality.

I definitely recommend this. If I had any complaints, it would be that it doesn’t come bundled with a pair of bluetooth headphones, and that there is no way to charge it without a usb port. Oh, and a carry case couldn’t have hurt.

EDIT: I’ve since updated the firmware and if I could give an extra star, I would. The bluetooth functionality they added really boosts the value of the device. Out of the box, it can already pair with a set of bluetooth headphones, but as of December, it can also pair with your phone. If you’ve been wondering what the mic on the bottom of the device is for, that would be it. You pair it with your phone, and when you get a call, you get a tone in your headphones to let you know a call is coming. Take out your Samsung P2 YP-P2JAB, answer the call, and speak through the mic while you hear them on the headphones. It’s great. You can also add your address book to the Samsung P2 YP-P2JAB, so that you can see specifically who is calling just as you would on your phone. I’ve used this with my Blackberry Curve, and it’s really great. I was easily able to send my address book via bluetooth over to the Samsung P2 YP-P2JAB, and call quality was pretty good.

I had a little trouble with the file transfer, but I’m blaming myself for that, not the device. Pick this one up.
