I just got my MZNH1 in UK and can honestly say its a sleek looking and sounding piece of kit! The remote is great and the Hi-SP and PCM options are superb. The battery life is equally good and when the unit is on charge, it tells you in minutes how long is left for a full charge. I work for a local sony dealership so if you live in uk (west mids) let me know and I will keep you one by :love:
