Sony NW-HD5

[Guest]

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 :)

err...good luck.

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

Why would he be? :/

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

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.

[Silverity]

I don't like the look :no:

[Guest]

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 dont like the buttons. i rather get the ipod :p

[Schmoove]

Now these look great:

NW-HD1 (I have this one):

NW-HD3 (I have this one):

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

[Guest]

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]

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.

[FuricTrax]

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 :DD

Just in time for major rev fest in uni library :woot::

[wutang01]

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

Any links?
