No major troubles [Posted on 2004-01-07]
The controls take a lot of getting used to -- they are very, very tricky to operate. But, the unit works. The software installed without a hitch on Windows 2000. The FM radio has very limited reception. I can pickup the major radio stations in Manhattan, but once in New Jersey, they are very staticky. The built-in microphone worked surprisingly well and I was genuinely impressed with the conversations I recorded. The built-in speaker is quiet, but clear. The user manual is a joke -- the broken English is painful to read.
Difficult to locate technical specs for this item [Posted on 2004-03-15]
For some reason, the PDF of this product's manual is over 20 megabytes. And once you have downloaded it, Acrobat 5 reader says the file is damaged and unreadable. Other PoGo products have manuals which are approx. 2 meg; I don't understand why this one is so large. I am trying simply to locate the precise information about the different recording qualities offered by this device, not as vague "good" or "high quality" but as a number of kbps at different settings. So far, I have not been able to locate this information.
Stay away please [Posted on 2004-09-06]
This company is very very unprofessional. The unit looks cool and has great functions. The problem is that it breaks easily and the company has terrible tech/customer support. This unit has had a lot of complaints, do yourself a favor and go with a different company. I did.
Great Product [Posted on 2004-10-14]
Never mind the idiots with the one star reviews on this website. This product is great and mine has been durable. I have nothing but positive remarks to say about the product and can't be happier. Out of a ten I give it a 9.99!
Poor Quality construction [Posted on 2005-01-11]
I did a lot of research before buying my pogoripflash pro2 and based on the praise it had received it seemed like a good idea to pick one up. It seemed to work fairly well for the first couple months, but after about 4 months or so, the headphone jack started acting a little strange. It wouldn't always carry a stereo signal so I figured maybe the contact points needed addressing. I tried other sets of headphones and all had the same problem. I really was not rough on the device and really rarely used the headphone jack as I used it mostly to record lectures and then dump them right onto my computer. There's no reason a headphone jack should go bad in that amount of time. I should also add to my list of gripes the fact that the user interface is not intuitive. Hope this helps someone!
