0 Kbadone_ Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 can atleast someone give me his opinion please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 superiorduck Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Wait.... or save for a Toshiba Gigabeat or.... Zune?... (sorry Sony' hardcore lovers!) I'm waiting for a new and improved Sony DAP...but there are good others DAP's in the market, and you maybe want to see how good is the Zune thing instead to get right now a Sony DAP.Sony is still a good choice, i'm very glad with my HD-3, it works fine to me, but I really hope a new Sony release, a good one.

0 superiorduck Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 but, if you don't need a photo viewer (nice feature), video playing (for me... useless), medium storage capacity, the NWA-1200 is a great choice.... a few improvements since HD5, and a great sound, but read all the reviews about this player and the A3000, as far i read here, they have a building issues that you might be aware before you buy. My opinion is the same. Wait... wait for Sony's Next best thing, or go research about the huge DAP universe outside iPodville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kbadone_ Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Thanks for the reply guysYeah I dont really care about video playback or photos cause I got PSP with a great screen. I ll just wait a couple of months. Hopfully it will turn out good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 pata2001 Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Wait. Everybody is moving to flash based, with 6-8GB nano looming. Small hard-drive DAPs are not worth it anymore, considering the reliability vs solid state memory. If you want one to get you by, get the zen micro instead. You should be able to find one at cheap price, and the 8GB zen micro photo can be found cheaper than the NW-A1200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 b0ng0 Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 For the current price I would say the NW-A1200 is not worth it. However, if you're just after a small-medium sized HDD player then Creative is a good bet, or Cowon if you can get past the lame looks.

0 Kbadone_ Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 I checked the Zen micro That thing look ugly compared to A1200. I decided to wait for Zune and sony's new toyI'll pick either one, hopefully it wont take long. Cause I have to save money for PS3 too!!!

0 Guest Stuge Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Is the pink color kinda girly? or should I go with the violetOff Topic :Most of the Girls like pink colour ..So u can say that it is a Girly colour.(Just from my experiance) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 cauldron Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 I've been in the same dilemma for a few months, and I absolutely didn't want to buy a Zen Micro because it's not UMS -- despite talking about SS so much, it's WMP that I hate to use and absolutely can't figure out for transfer to a portable player.If you look back on the history of Sony HDD players, there's a fairly steady string of improvements. That means if there's anything you don't like about the A1200, chances are it'll come to Sony's attention and be fixed in whatever player that replaces the A1200. I say if there's nothing that bothers you with the player, or you can shave $20-40 off the MSRP, go for it.Seems to me that the new Sony players won't be arriving before, say, Halloween.

0 DSP Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 (edited) I had the same problem a few weeks ago.I had always been using MD and wanted to try HDD based DAP's.Ipod was no option for me. I doubted between the creative zen vision:M and the Iaudio X5, But the big colour screen didn't atract me and some other things.so in the end I got myself a nw-a1200b and I think it's awsome! especially the sound quality, wich is the most important for me. It's all just my opinion, but the design is really sweet to!the other day we where in school, and I was listening music and had the walkman lying on the table with screensaver on, so every now and then ther would appear a 'sprinkle' on the device. A friend of my sitting next to me (who has an ipod) said she got horny (if I can say that on this forum?? ) by looking to the device and see a sprinkle 'in' the device ('cause you can't see the screen).but all in all, If you just want to listen music, the nw-a series is a very good choice! good sound, good battery, nice and most important original design (something many manufacturers find difficult to find these days) and good codec support! imho it's the best DAP out there.
