Hi there, thanks for reading. I am a newbie to the site. Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong place and/or its an obvious question!! I have a NWZ-S618F walkman, and the battery finally is about dead after years of faithful service. I gather that the re-chargeable battery can be replaced (anyone know how much this costs?), but I want to upgrade to a 16GB model anyway.
I love the look of the NWZ-A845B model. However I am cautious as the last time I tried to buy a new Sony model walkman, I had to take it back as it was so slow and took about 5 minutes to load a song and start playing. It also kept freezing. Not the usual standard Sony products achieve and so I think probably I was just unlucky.
The reason I love my old walkman is that it is so fast. I use it at work and I can pause a song to take a phonecall and then instantly start playing again when I finish the call - no waiting for it to load the song.
If I am going to fork out for the NWZ-A845B, then I would want to be assured that the speed of loading was equal or better. I gather that speed is better for devices with a flash drive - does the NWZ-845B have a flash drive or a hard drive? I searched in vain but cant find this info on the Sony site.
I would love to hear from anyone who can help, particularly people who have used the device!!
Many thanks!
