Right got both mp4 players and both are good but I am leaning towards the stage one from eBuyer.
The Samsung is good quality, bearing in mind this is the first time Ive got myself a decent player. The player is small and thin and looks more like a mobile phone! The screen is small, probably too small for my liking but others may be used to small screens.
The navigation is very easy, has radio and games. Also has eBooks (viewing txt files) and photo viewer.
The bluetooth on it enables you to connect to your phone and use it to answer and make calls with. It has a built in mike. I also transferred songs from my moby so no doubt file transfer should work on other things. Other bluetooth option was connect to stereo headset.
One thing I didnt like was the connector to the player was not usb, it was its own connector. It means your screwed if you lose/break it. It will cost some to get a replacement.
The s/w that came with it is fairly straightforward to use but is very slow at converting movies. And th e format is plays is SVI. Also when connected by USB, I could not use it within explorer.
Now regarding the stage player, Im really impressed with that. It has a nice big screen, quality of pic is great. Also has a speaker though not very loud. Has a mike has well to record your own stuff, ebook, photo etc. It connects by mini usb. The moto w377 phone charger I have is also mini usb and that works fine! This player comes with a plug anyway, one which you connect your usb device in. Just my luck as last month I bought one of these from play.com for a fiver! But this player is bigger.
Can simply drag and drop files using explorer, comes with AVI converting software which is reasonaly quick. It looks more like a small ipod classic, certainly the headphones look similar and the back casing is metal.
My only problem is my daughter has claimed it and so Im stuck with the Samsung. As Im not too keen on it, I have packaged it up and will give it to my neice
I probably would of liked the Samsung had I not got the stage one.
Also remember, Samsung is quality (well usually) but Stage player is generic chinese probably.

My recommendation for a cheap but great player is the stage. I got it for £21.99 but thats cos I had free delivery due to spending over 50 notes.
