1.0 out of 5 stars Waterproof - but only for 1 week, July 1, 2008

I purchased this item a week ago thinking that it would make me want to swim laps longer - and it did. The sound quality was great and I even overlooked the confusing interface because - hey - its allowing me to listen to my music while I swim laps.

It worked great for a week - or 4 days of swimming laps, and then I went to turn it on and I got "loading..." and thats as far as the screen would go. Now the screen is blue and orange and there's condensation inside the display. Now - I know what you're thinking "Hey - are you deep sea diving with this thing or swimming laps 50 ft. below the surface of your pool?" No. No I am not. I'm fairly close to the surface while I'm swimming and keep the player in its own zip compartment in my gym bag which is free from water.

So now I'm looking for another mp3 player while I try to get my money back on this piece of crap. I'm sure its great if you're going canoeing and not touching water much, but for lap swimming, it failed me.

1.0 out of 5 stars total rip off, July 30, 2008

This product is a total rip off. Be carefull, on the selling screen it doesn't show how little waranty they have. You must try it within the first month since purchased and when I did (I day after a month after receiving it) I was on vacations in Brazil, and it short circuited on me on my goggles in the swimming pool. So they proposed to refund it but I should send it immediately and it'd cost me about $40 to have it sent and I'd have to have the invoice with it. So guess what: GOT RIPPED OFF, wasted dollars and time on it. Yet in Brazil I bought one (MORMAII)that cost me less and it's got 2 year waranty and PLUSSSS : it works IN the water!!!
FREESTYLE told me simply: your equipment is likely to have had a WATER FAILLURE"... ow, really, what the #$%.. wasn't it supposed to be waterproof???

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for swmming laps!, June 17, 2008

I bought this after researching all of the other waterproof mp3's. I decided on this one after the price dropped once Target started selling it. I like it very much. Volume control button is a little difficult, but you get the hang of it afer a little practice. I don't change the volume once I get it where I want it anyway. You do lose much of the sound when your ears go under water, that's why it's best for swimming laps. It makes swimming laps fun. The time flies by when you have music in your ears. It's easy to transfer songs onto and it's very small. It's hard to tell the size online. It can clip on your swim goggles. For 2 GB of storage I think it's a great buy.
