It would be nice when producer solves some critical issues [Posted on 2007-04-02]
I have purchased a mobiBLU US2 MP3 player with 2 Gb memory and I am very disappointed.
Right after receiving of package I updated firmware with version 1015 (downloaded from www.mobiblu.com). Following bugs are found after upgrading firmware (1013 -> 1015, I don't know if bugs exist in version 1013):
1. Playing time after full charge is less than declared: 5-6 hours only (instead of 15 hours!)
2. Player freezes when I try to enter FM mode (bug appear one month later after upgrading). Only Reset button can make player operable again.
3. Animation contains some bright pixels.
4. I can't connect player so that it charges and plays simultaneously.
I suppose that firmware version 1015 had not been tested because it contains so evident bugs. Unfortunately, newer versions of firmware is not released already 10 months.
Pros:
+ Good shape, light, small, thin
+ Good set of features
+ Price is low enough
+ Durable buttons. No need to use "hold" because it is very difficult to press buttons accidentally.
+ Player supports many character encodings (for example, russian - my native language). But fonts are not too good.
Contras:
- BUGS! (see above)
- Playing time less than declared! Actually, player charges 4 hours (inoperable during charging) to play only 6 hours!
- Proprietary USB connector (sux!)
- No visible indication of "Charge complete"
Terrible !!! [Posted on 2007-04-06]
Unit barely worked for 1-hour, then wouldn't shut off. When it finally did shut off, the device cannot be turned on or reset as described in user manual. Support/sales phone number is useless. All messages go to support and to leave a message ... followed by a message that the mail box is full. No response yet via e-mail either.
The mobiBLU US2 is a $130 piece of JUNK!
If you buy one after reading this ... shame on you!
Horrible product [Posted on 2007-05-14]
I would not recommend this product to anyone. After a week of use, lines started appearing in the screen, therefore making the titles of the songs hard to read. Other than that, it started out nice.

I second all of the previous comments in spades. I did get to work for a while by dropping it on a hard floor.
support directs you to a Korean language site for downloads of firmware
