smaller screen-size than the Z, no SD Card slot, no camera(s), no HDMI out, and no BT APT-X codec (which alone would have been enough of a reason for me to purchase).

 

...I'll keep my Z and pass on the F800.

Well I see that it says all three are launched in Europe starting today.  I wonder how they kept that under wraps?  Anyway, it also had no US release date...so knowing Sony that could mean the E series gets here anyhwere between Sept and Dec and the other 2 may not get here until next year.  But, that's just going off the past couple of years.  They were supposed to refresh the B series and release it many months ago...it hasn't made it to the US yet.

 

I guess Time Will Tell.  =)

Note that we never had the Z here in Belgium :D

 

 

The F800 is already on the sony.be website

All I want is either an S or E Series player for us in the USA that hits at least 32gb. I don't wan't a Z Series with Android & a million useless things that it can do, or a low capacity device (which is all they give us here in North America). Sony is rediculous IMO. mad.gif

Nothing to be impressed about A860 Series stays with me.

No micro-sd card slot again. Seriously, what were they thinking?

Hopefully the higher end range has it.

New F Series already listed on Sony's UK Website (no price yet), 16GB only so far; full specs to be found here:

http://www.sony.co.uk/product/nws-f-series/nwz-f805

Web browser makes an appearance again, S Master MX Amp, G Sensor for sensing movement ( for gaming etc). Battery life no better than the current A-Series.

Cheers

Mark

I'll never buy another Sony that is a Euro-model after my experiance with the crap volume levels with the A-series... the WM-F looks like it's based on the WM-X.

 

I'll be sticking with my Z1070... love the size of the thing it suits my sausage-fingers & it sounds sublime.

Ah, Sony. I just wonder how people call Apple overpriced when there is Sony. You can get a Cowon Z2 for that money. With microSD. And the infamous SQ.
