Very happy with this recorder. What I like most is the separate "folder" button. On my older sony recorders, I had to go through the menu process to be able to change folders. This makes it easy to categorize messages by various topics. Also, this recorder has 5 folders, as opposed to 4 on my previous recorders. One (minor) thing I'm not thrilled with is having to slide down the "power" button and wait 4 or 5 seconds (while "access" flashes) for the recorder to be ready to go. This is necessary if you haven't used the recorder in the last 10 min.
Sound quality is great! I leave mine set on the best (SHQ) mode, and am very happy with that. My batteries lasted for nearly a month, and that was with a lot of use. After installing new batts, I didn't have to totally reset the date, just the time. On older recorders I had to totally reset the date when installing new batts. I would advise people to write down the steps in the menu to do that (reset the time with new batts) rather than have to look it up.
