5 out of 5 stars Exceptional!.......2002-04-12

I've had mine for over a year and I absolutely love it! It's easy to use and the play back is crisp and clear. Very well made and thought out ... the unit sits neatly in the palm of your hand allowing finger tip control. A great value and high quality product!

2 out of 5 stars Died after about 9 months daily use.......2001-10-03

A great item but it quit playing back after about 9 months of use. You could get bits of the messages by holding the mode button down momentarily. The gold paint wears off carrying it in your pocket.

3 out of 5 stars I really like it but it keeps breaking!.......2001-06-25

I like for form and features of this voice recorder but I have now had 2 of them break!

4 out of 5 stars Great tool for life management!.......2001-06-23

I had used one of those clunky tape voice recorders but never seemed to have it available when I needed it because it was too big to carry everywhere. Well, this one is a perfect size and weight. I attached mine to one of those little retractable ID badge thingies and usually clip it to my belt or shirt. And don't mind others asking what it is and then saying, "Why would you want to record yourself?" We know how valuable these things are! There are two reasons, however, that I didn't give it 5 stars: 1) As others have commented in these reviews, the record button is much too easy to activate. If the button were a bit more protected I wouldn't have been recording a half hour of pocket noise 3 or 4 times a day (this practice burns out batteries very quickly). That's why I started wearing it like an ID badge. Yes, it has a HOLD feature, which locks out the buttons, but it's awkward to have to switch it off every time you want to use it and then on again to lock it once more. 2) If you happen to begin speaking immediately as you push the record button, the first half second (more or less) of your voice gets truncated...kind of a bummer if you are recording somebody's phone number, email address, etc.

As far as recording time is concerned, they might as well have done away with the 90 minute mode; it's obvious that you need those extra bits per voice unit. It sounds like a bad cell connection. I find that 30 minutes is ample time, and the sound quality is excellent.

One more thing--you don't have to spend 2 or 3 hundred bucks on one of those voice recognition recorders to get it to work with your PC voice recognition software. I got a jack from Radio Shack that lets me plug in the headphone out on the recorder to the mike in on my laptop and it works decently, I say decently. You'll still have to do quite a bit of editing. If there is a lot of background noise, though, you'll get mike errors.

All in all I would buy it again. It's a great value.

5 out of 5 stars HIGHLY recommended and EASY to use.......2001-03-28

I would like to say that I received this product as a gift and was one of the best gifts ever. The V-90 is so compact and so easy to use, even a BLONDE could do it.

Without reading the manual, I was able to record messages, play them back, change clock setting, etc... So easy to operate that you can use it right away! As I read past reviews, they obviously need to read their manuals. They complained about the following (features they didn't know the V-90 had):

Some excellent features:

* "HOLD" button so you the recorder doesn't accidentally record, delete, or change messages

* While recording, you could press the "REC" button again for a pause or just use the voice activation feature

*While playback, press "PLAY" to pause and unpause message (very useful when used for dictation purposes)

The V-90 has 3 folders - two general and the "S" folder for scheduled messages. Good feature and not that hard to navigate if you have a brain. I use my recorder on a daily basis and delete messages very quickly to save space (not that I would use it all up anyway).

One overall complaint, if used in the LP-90 minute mode, voice is deep and hard to understand. Very easy to fix that problem, use the SP-33 minute mode. Excellent voice clarification. Even when used with voice activation, your messages don't get cut off.

Once again, I would HIGHLY recommend this product. The design and features are great for a basic user.
