But, no-one was in! So, re-delivery tomorrow

--> all the way from Japan! I cant wait to play with this thing

It's meant to be the iPod killer. It's smaller, slicker, cheaper (well, will be in comparison), better built, SONY, has a better battery life... and ITS RED!!!!

Har har har, ph3AR the red. Yeah, anyway, I'm looking forward to it

I have a feeling that you'll be quite dissappointed.

I know this is petty, but you could at least provide a picture.

NW-HD5 indeed looks nice.

Sony did an awesome job of slimming down the music player, and its screen is quite big despite its small size.

Here are some pictures that I found.

Wow, I like that black one alot. Too bad I already have a Zen Micro, which I love!

Yeah, they aren't that stylish. I think the iRiver H10 and the Zen Micro look way better, but it is still a cool looking player.

I don't like the look

It looks a LOT nicer in the flesh! The only thing id say was bad was the software. Sonicstage really is a pile of poo.

I used to use it with my Hi-MD unit, I thought maybe they had improved it since then. Eugh, no such luck

*Hopes for new Plays4sure firmware*

I don't like this new NW-HD5 actually.

My friend has the NW-HD1

--> so nice that I decided to get the HD5. Have you upgraded your HD1 to play MP3s yet?

Schmoove

Apr 29 2005, 12:41

Nope, don't see the need for it. I ripped all my music to Atrac and it sounds fine.

btw, my previous post says NW-HD3 (I have this one)
Bad copy & paste job, I have the NW-HD1, not the NW-HD3.

I've just managed to pre-order mine.. through www.totallyskint.com/offers/newsony.php - it's not release til the 20th May, but at least I'll be first on the list.. Only cost £199 (including deliver) which I reckon is way better value than the iPod. Has anybody managed to get their hands on the HD5 already? What's it like? Looking good to me.

My mate came round with his HD1 at the weekend and I thought it ruled... so....

I just ordered my HD5 today for £185 inc. next day delivery.

Apparently the place I ordered it from are expecting a delivery Wednesday 11th so as long as they have enough left after all the other pre-orders then I get it on Thursday

Just in time for major rev fest in uni library

I'm considering in purchasing the NW-HD3 ... but I can't buy anything except HD1 in Australia ...

Any links?
