I have no doubt that this is the best player out there in this price range. Definitely recommended.
Hassle free usability for a touchscreen player. I bought a 8GB. You may want to consider atleast the 16GB.

My son did his homework when he chose this MP3. It sounds great. He loves it. I like it much better than my other son's iPod.

The P3 is really a great player. For some reason, many people compare it to the iPod Touch, but that doesn't make much sense, considering it's priced to compete better with the iPod NANO.
The P3's screen is made of glass... this means, it is really hard to scratch it, unlike that odd plastic material used in most touchscreen players. The touchscreen itself will seem a bit sticky at first, but after a week or so of having it, you will barely notice this at all. The touchscreen is in most cases very responsive, though the player's UI is notorious for lagging at times. This, though, is something you can easily get used to. There are some silly little widgets, some are handy such as a clock and a calendar, but most seem to be designed for a young child. The background is customizable with images 272x480 pixels for a perfect fit. Also, when you first begin using it, you may notice the battery draining quickly, as the first of three bars will disappear quickly. The meter only stays at full when the battery is very full, i can use this for about 4 days, listening about 2-3 hours a day before i need to charge it.
The screen has some sort of special detection for touch, i believe it's called capacitive sensing, which only responds if it detects a conductor, in other words, the human body. I'm sure it also works with some random special material as well, but for the purposes of the average person, this will only respond to a human body, so you don't have to worry about anything else activating the touchscreen. You may still want to use the Hold button though, as there are volume and a power button on the top of the player.
The screen on this player can play videos at up to 800x600 pixels, which is pretty good for a player of this price. It's no Zune HD, but it sure does look good on the 3 inch screen.
The player body is made of some plastic, but mostly metal. I have heard of these things surviving all kinds of punishment, even have 45 pound weights dropped on them in the gym. The touchscreen and everything still worked in that case, the only problem were cracks and the player being slightly bent of course.
The P3 has all the typical features of a Samsung player, the DSNe, bluetooth, etc. etc. What is really surprising is its support for .flv files, and a flash player for .swf files. Yes, this means you can play flash games and watch flash movies on your P3. It can also be used to pair with a phone as a hands free device via bluetooth.
The only thing i would ever really worry about would be the fact that you can see directly inside of the player, as in you can see all the microchips and whatnot inside of it through the headphone jack. This could lead to dust getting in there, but this is easily solved by either just blowing it or or just leaving headphones in all the time.
In short, this player is really fantastic for 150$, which, again, is the same price as an Nano. You get so much more for almost the same price, it makes me wonder why anyone would ever buy a Nano.

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.

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!
