Question

Hey guys, haven't been here in a bit. Actually got quite the interesting story to share.

I bought my Vaio Pocket back in September brand new. Opened the box, smelled it, turned it on, and fell in love with it immediately. I had 3 months of troublefree ownership. Then, the unthinkable happened. Went out with some buddies in early Janurary and decided to bring my VP along (bad idea). So I get home afterwards and I notice my pockets to be a bit light. Hmmmm...then I realize my VP wasn't there! Needless to say, I was devestated and searched everywhere for it with no avail. After a week or so of sulking and looking at the empty cradle that sat next to my bedside, I decided to move on.

I went out to look for a new media player, hoping it'd help me get over the loss of my baby.

Put my money out for an RCA Lyra (an even BIGGER mistake). What can I say about that thing. It was terrible. Besides being able to play videos, there really wasn't anything else that appealed to me. The user interface was slow, the headphone jack started detriorating within a few months. This lead to me prying the thing open to fix it. I never got it fixed and even worse, the buttons had to be removed to gain access to the inside. After I assembled the thing back together, the buttons never fit the same again. I couldn't rewind or go back properly and my buttons would constantly fall off. I even lost one of them :mellow: Not to mention, the thing was HUGE. It looked like a casette player. Someone even asked me if I was listening to casettes. -___-"

After being fed up with it, I decided to put it up for sale a few weeks ago hoping to get some money back and buy a better portable media player. However, a few days ago, I was talknig to one of my friends who was in the car with me that dreadful Janurary day and asked if I found my Sony Mp3 player. I said no and then I began to pick up hints from him that he knew that I didn't acutally lose it. After some gentel persuasion, I found out my other friend had found it on the backseat of his car (it must have fallen out of my pocket). He thought it'd be funny if he made me believe I acutally lost it and decided to keep it until the end of the year. Anways, in the end I went to his place and got it back.

All in all, I cherish my Sony player so much more now. The beautiful LCD, the crisp sound quality and the accepetable size AND there is no chance of losing buttons. :lol:

Anways, looking forward to my return here!

Cheers!
