PROS: Screen size being 3.5". Sound Quality. Very nice solid feel when held. Battery life. Stereo speakers. Radio can be set to play via the speakers.
CONS: Resolution being 320x240px on a 3.5". Random skips when watching videos. No music rating. Extremely slow picture thumbnails update. No extra memory slot for add-in memory cards.
Bought this player for about a year, just about everything worked as advertised, I have been using it mostly for watching videos especially full length movies. The supplied software converter does not do a good job in taking movies from different formats, I had to find a 3rd party application to do the conversion. The player's specs says it takes movies at upto 384kbps data rate, but I've had movies converted at 500kbps or more and the player still played them. However, from my many movies watching experience with this player, there is one glitch, or a bug, that annoys me a great deal. Very often, during video playback, the sa6185 skips to the next movie on the list when a movie is playing. This is extremely hedious when you are watching a movie in its finale and then all of the sudden the player skips to the next movie on your video list. So I always had to go back to the same movie I was watching and had to start from the beginning and pressed fast forward(by holding down the right arrow key), the 4x fast forward is just not fast enough, I have wasted a huge amount of time just to let the movie ff to the point where it skipped. This has been very frustrating and sometimes to the point that I would just give up. If Philips realized this bug and released a fix, then this player would be a real gem to have.Get more detail about Philips SA61 8 GB Flash Video MP3 Player with FM Radio and 3.5-Inch Color Screen (Black).
