AverageCame across this in Moscow in the real flesh.
Surprisingly good sound.
Interface pretty impressive in places like music use.
Had more features than my iPhone but not as nice to use but then if it is sold at £249 in UK as advertised a lot cheaper and you can do the things you get used to having.
Easy enough to hold in one hand and use which is good. Materials reflect the price but still solid enough.
