Presenting.....The Benq Joybee 150
UPDATED
I picked up this fine device from my showroom Thursay night and I am its sole owner till Monday morning. Since I have to generate a review I might as well write one here. This post will be a
work in progress, so feel free to critisize.
Before I actually take this review head-on, I'm going to indulge in noting down some pros and cons.
Pros:
1. Wonderfully Compact. Fits in the palm of my hand and I have small hands.
2. Good sound quality. Could hear every beat in every A.R.Rahman song. (Ok fine; in Yuva). And it handled all those songs, where even my deck gets a bit screechy, wonderfully.
3. Recharchable battery.
4. Long battery life. Used it the whole day in the office and it showed no signs of wearing out. Official battery life is 8 hours and I can believe it.
5. MP3
and WPA player. FM radio with 30 presets. Voice Recorder (in mp3). Line in recorder (ditto). Removable Drive. Can read .txt files. Need I say more?
6. Actually I do. Cool blue backlight!
7. Lots of accessories. Remote controller, Leather pouch, Indian and american plug points for charger, another larger bag.
Cons:
1. Cannot browse menu while playing a song.
2. No Hold button.
3. Cannot make playlists on the go.
4. Headphone cord without remote is too short.
