Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Wouldn't it be nice to have an MP3 player that listens to you? Samsung's P3 does. You say you want short download times for DIVX movies. And you want to be able to easily put all your favorite utilities right where you want them. Plus have a wide screen that let's you know you’ve been heard when you touch it. Of course Bluetooth would be nice too. The P3 does it all. And delivers audio quality that you’ll definitely want to listen to.

Download without downtime

We know you’d rather spend your time watching videos than waiting for them to download. That’s why along with other video formats we designed the P3 to also support DIVX. Not only is DIVX the most popular format, it’s also the fastest and easiest to download. After a firmware upgrade you just download directly to your P3. Then view them in full 16:9 format. You can even capture or bookmark your favorite scenes. With the P3 your wait is over.

Good vibrations

With the P3 your videos and music aren’t the only things you’ll be touched by. Put your finger on the P3’s wide touch screen and you get a reassuring touch right back. It’s called a HAPTIC sensor. Drag your finger across the wide screen and you feel a light click. Scroll and feel a mild rumble. You can even sync the vibration to your music and videos by turning on the Vibe Woofer. No matter how you use the P3, the vibe is always good.

Command your performance

How you communicate with your P3 is up to you. Our EmoTure technology let’s you interact with its features in a much more personal way. Instead of just one main screen there are three customizable desk screens. Easily drag, tap or flick any of the colorful icons where you want. Choose from clocks, memo pads, calendars and more. There’s even a range of screen effects to choose from. However you choose it, it’s your P3 your way.

Never miss a note

Hear your music the way it was meant to be heard. P3’s DNSe 3.0 technology restores the song’s natural highs and lows. And it can create a virtual surrounding to match the genre, from dance club to concert hall. There’s even a built-in mono speaker and an FM radio. With the P3, hearing is believing.

The strong not-so-silent type

Don’t let the P3’s stylish design fool you. The aluminum casing is rugged and the glass screen is strong enough to resist scratches. Enjoy the wide, 3'' high resolution display and the full 16:9 aspect ratio without bars. In silver or black, the P3 can handle whatever you put in it or on it.

Enjoy your freedom

No more wires. Really. The P3 with Bluetooth+EDR lets you take or make calls without taking your cell out. Wirelessly listen to music in your car, on your cell phone, even play games. Transferring photos and music files is faster too. So stay connected without having to be connected.

It multi-tasks like you

The P3 is more than meets the ear. Its built-in flash player is the ideal way to play flash movies. Or to use some of the great gadgets built right in to mark an important event on your calendar, take a note while on the run, or to set an alarm for that crucial meeting. Aside from all that, you can also just listen to it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I finally found a user friendly mp3 player!, August 11, 2009

By	S. G. Erwin "Dorothy from Kansas" (Wichita, KS) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was the third mp3 player I purchased after returning the first two. And, it was the only one that had a decent manual. You can easily download music from multiple sources, and the touch screen is fabulous. My tech-expert nephew suggested I read reviews on sites like [...], etc. and that is where I found the reviews on the Samsung YP-P3. I immediateley ordered one, and have not been disappointed in any way. If any of you want a user friendly music/photo/video player - this one is terrific - Absolutely NO cons!

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible customer service if something goes wrong, November 6, 2009

By	chess4fun (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews

Ordered this from Dell when they had a sale and thought I was very lucky, but that was just the beginning of a trip to customer service hell.

Got it in August and two weeks later it start to turn on/off in a loop which from the internet seems to be a common problem. Called customer service and was informed to send it to New Jersy. After having the unit for two weeks, I called them back to find out when the unit will be sent back to me. They want to send me a refurb, which is not acceptable because I only have the unit for two weeks. After two more phone calls and repeated assurances each time that a "new" unit will be send out, I'm still waiting for it two months after they've received the unit. So, while it was working wonderfully for the two weeks that I had it, it's not worth the aggravation if they don't support their products like Apple. So buyer's beware. I'm hoping when I finally receive whatever they're sending me that it'll work right out of the box and I don't have to deal with this nightmare again like a scene from Groundhog Day.
