Amazing!
I bought this after looking at tons of reviews of other Digital Voice Recorders. Most of which were priced from $50 to $200. This one had the better features and I got it for $35 shipped.
I received extremely fast shipping. I think it was here in 2 days. I bought from the seller (UniversityStore.com) because they were the cheapest, even though the 93%...
A glitch
After recording lectures for a few hours, the device refused to save anything I was recording with a mysterious error code 002. The frustrating part was that the problem surfaced not during the recording but after the fact when I tried to stop recording.

I bought this after looking at tons of reviews of other Digital Voice Recorders. Most of which were priced from $50 to $200. This one had the better features and I got it for $35 shipped.
I received extremely fast shipping. I think it was here in 2 days. I bought from the seller (UniversityStore.com) because they were the cheapest, even though the 93% positive results kinda scared me.
Pro's for buying this Recorder over ALL others (regardless of prices)
-1 gig of onboard memory
-Has a MicroSD slot up to 4gig
-Comes with a USB connector AND automatically converts to .WAV format for immediate listening and storage.(unlimmited storage this way)
-shiney :)
-has a HOLD lock button for when it is stored.
-has a headphone jack for better listening
-Microphone is PHENOMENAL
-Speaker is PHENOMENAL
-Requires 2 AAA batteries (ALSO A BIG DEAL)
-Can pause and resume while recording or while in play back mode
-Cheap and affordable for the price. I would have easily paid $50-$80 for this type of quality and mobility of recordings.
Con's
-The Pause/Resume button is the same as the Delete recording button and is hit twice to either pause/resume or to delete. If you aren't paying attention, you just deleted your recording. (major drawback, but is the only con I could find.)
So honestly, I was also put off that no reviews were written and decided this would be the first review I ever wrote and wanted to make it a good one. Trust this product. My wife and I love it so much, she is having me buy one for her. (I'm writing a book and I hate to have to sit at the computer the whole time, so I record it in 1 minute segments and type it all out later.)

It worked great. Great sound. Great playback. Plenty of storage.
I already used it to tape a meeting. It offers different file folders to place
my different tasks in for storage which is a plus. It is small but
powerful. Buttons are small but I used the head of a ball point pen
and it is no problem.

After recording lectures for a few hours, the device refused to save anything I was recording with a mysterious error code 002. The frustrating part was that the problem surfaced not during the recording but after the fact when I tried to stop recording.
To their credit, their tech-support was readily available (at 8-9pm!) and was very helpful. Re-format the internal storage device per their instruction apparently resolved the problem. For now, though, I am carrying around an old fashioned tape-recorder as a back-up. I wish I didn't have to do that.
Other than this minor glitch, the sound quality is good enough for recording lectures and the device is easy to operate. I would prefer, though, a little more responsive buttons: You'd have to hold down a buttons firmly for about half a second.
Update on the glitch I had: The device failed with the same error code 002 for the second time after using only once for about 2 hours with the re-formatted internal storage device.

This voice recorder is great. Battery life varies and I couldn't connect it to my PC with Vista...luckily I have a Windows XP laptop that I was able to transfer my recordings to. COBY tech support isn't good through e-mail---as they don't respond so if you have issues, just call them.

I just bought this digital voice recorder and it works great!
Pros
It is easy to use, looks good and the speaker is great when you hear back what you recorded. The USB is very easy to use, when you plug it into the computer. Tells you the Day, Month, Year, and the Time, which is great! Also, the microphone you can set it to either "HIGH" or "LOW" setting. High for farther away, and Low for closer up. That is a great feature because the sound quality will be better depending on where you are recording.
Con:
The only con that I can think of is that when you move while using the digital voice recorder when your recording, it makes a static noise, so you cant move that much, or it will make a static noise which is hard to listen back to what you reordered.
I would recommend this digital voice recorder. It's cheap if you don't want to spend over $100 dollars for a nice one, that does just as great of a job for less expensive!

I bought this recorder so that I did not have to carry my Zoom recorder with me when only needing to record vocals. I got what I paid for: a cheap, difficult to use recorder. It does not link up with iTunes. It requires a special flash memory card, which proved to be very expensive. Additionally, the quality of the metal is so cheap that the battery cover will not close completely. I would not recommend this product.
