Samsung YP-P2 2nd Bluewave Upon us! Adds games, improves touch system, better than b4!! Video inside - Page 6

If you could then that would be great mate! if you have time that is! Really that'd be so excellent!

Alright I'll do a charge and have the results by tomorrow, sound good? Oh and to check you want it connected to my phone while in bluetooth?

whenever you can get the results to us that'll be fantastic dude, and you're spot on... if you happen to get a phone call during the test then that'll add an authentic element to it too

Alright charging now, and I am sure I will get a call.

The P2 bluetooth thing isn't really useful unless you use a bluetooth headset that has a microphone built in. Otherwise you'll have to talk into the P2, which just looks plain stupid. Wish they'd make a remote shirt-clipon thing.

Anyways, I've got a bluetooth headset with a microphone, and that does save on output power to the headphone jack since it's not used, so the battery usually lasts for about 20-25 hours with Bluetooth enabled. Of course, the headset has it's own amp and everything and also needs charging, so what's the point of the comparison for real.

As a point to the discussion about apple versus samsung; most people buy the apple due to sexy looks and sweet design, -that is subjective features. There are reviews in favour of both the apple and the samsung players, and no definitive answer to this silly question.

I have the P2, and I think it's a fine player. It weighs in at only 60% of the touch, and it works seamlessly with everything ealse I've got of audio and computer gear.

The best part is of course the bluetooth playback in the cars that my company uses ! Trumps the touch bigtime for me. Doesn't matter what car I'm in, and when I'm out of it I just switch on my headset.

Your first post on head-fi would be yesterday into this thread where you insulted me. Interesting choice of first post.

I stated an opinion that I belive iPhone is more useful then YP-P2 + Bluetooth hacks.

No, people started saying how their alternatives are better then an iPhone vs. Admitting the fact that iPhone is a more capable device to the the YP-P2 + BT Phone. It would have been over right there.

I am not religious. I always prefer best device for the job. There is no job a YP-P2 is the best device for.

Yes, it's called lurking - what I do when I have nothing to contribute to the thread I'm reading. It's a technique you'd do well to learn.

And now, to get back on topic:
Can the P2 bond with a standard bluetooth headset for cellphones? It might be a tad awkward to have to switch headphones to take or place a call, but it's doable.

Found this, I can still do a test if you all want.

[QUOTE=sigsegv0x0B;3584693] You've been here so long that you factored out price alltogether. Poor you. For ME, the P2 does a better job for MY requirements as a pmp. It might not be the best device for YOU, but capability of the device is definitley different than for the touch, hence two different products, with different people. Very very different people it would seem, enough to make a war !

During my work day I hop around to a lot of customers to do service, and our company recently bought a whole new line of cars, which all have bluetooth. I service RP printers, and I'm in and out of the car several times of the day, and I'm also getting somewhere between 10 and 15 calls every day.

Now, the iphone might have done a better job at this particular job, since it could have been a wired device, but I still prefer not wearing the damn headphones all day long, so having both a bluetooth enabled car and bluetooth headphones, connected up to a bluetooth phone is a very fine solution indeed. The best there is for my wallet, and also in terms of my personal desire. We are 11 people at work now, and 7 of us already have the P2 due to our cars beeing equipped with BT. If we had ****loads of money, we would get the iphone, but we don't. If we had wifi cars or whatever with docks in it, we would still not get the touch.

And also, when mugging around with the damn device all day, radio is freakin unbelivable, like ****ing sci-fi all over. Belive me, even with 1 terrabyte of mp3s, radio is sweet mama during a working day.

That has got to be wrong. I get more out of my P2with BT on, pherhaps since I do not use wired headphones along with it while in BT mode.

What eats most battery on the P2 seems to be the use of the screen for adjusting volume and track-skipping. Having it on the BT headset seems a better solution.

The 8GB version is now down to $198 at Amazon. Nice.

Hey dude, looking forward to your results, but in the meantime I asked one of our P2 owning members at DAPreview to do the same test, he posted his results earlier today: dapreview.net: Forums / Digital Audio Players (DAP) / **Samsung P2 Blue Wave firmware coverage** >>it's towards the bottom of the page.

Looking forward to comparing your results!

For what it's worth...

I've been getting 7+ hrs of use out of my Moto S9 stereo headset in bluetooth mode (end of S9's battery charge .. beginning with a full charge) paired with my YP-P2.. and at that point the battery on my P2 has appx. a little less than half it's charge left. More than enough for my uses, though greater battery time is always better. Frankly I expected less. All of this is with, what I would call average use of the LCD screen (shut of in 30 sec.), mainly higher bitrate encode mp3s (192 - 320 kbps), max volume output (I control the volume and change tracks from my headset), Display brightness set to 5.. and no video playback.

Music: appx. 14 hrs. (using bluetooth stereo headset)

Settings:
Display Brightness: 5
Displayoff: 30 seconds
Volume: max
Touch screen: average
Bluetooth: On

Though I have not done exact testing of the P2 battery life w/o bluetooth enabled.

..and speaking of people that have been members here for a time.. and have been lurking..ahem..

With bt starting now.

2 bars still.
