No poll as there are too many options to list.

My vote goes to...

The NW-HD1! Small, light, brushed magnesium alloy, and reversable green blacklighting. Just so cool.

I found a second-hand HD1 in Tokyo for about $85, so I bought one. The store had oodles of them too, because these are not upgraded and thus ATRAC-only. Used HD1s really don't hold much value compared to iPods. Lovely!

For me though, the best looking NW is probably the MS70D/90D/77DR. It's Sony's mechanical kind of aesthetics at its best (for lack of a better phrase), and it pioneered wearing the player from the neck. They'd really be extremely collectable if MG MSDuo's weren't capped to 128MB.

Which brings me to the A1000. If it wasn't for the "user experience" (that's even more disappointing than Connect Player), Sony would be dangerously close to selling itself based on brand perception alone, like a designer label.

The NW-E400 and NW-E500 series. ^_^ Beautiful, but pricey.

And agree with Rob A on the NW-HD1 as well. I used to get asked why I didn't get an iPod (which was cheaper than the NW-HD1, but I got the NW-HD1 at the same price as the iPod as it was on sale) a lot when I first bought it.

I always had a soft spot for my last cassette Walkman, the WM-FX673.

I also thought the Sony NW-500 series (and the other in that line, the NW-400) were just stunning.

my first vote sure goes to the "perfume bottles": A600, E500 and E400 series. My first mp3 player was E405 and I bought it simply because of its fabulous outlook and battery life!
