Comment:

I was using the product for about 3 months (every day) because I was very impressed with what it could do and then started experiencing problems with the display when I turned it on - I am not sure whether it was because I used to keep this device in a backpack in a side-pocket (where else would I keep it?) or perhaps it somehow got damaged due to other reasons...I am not sure. I purchased the extended 1 year warranty and received the same model - but that one is also experiencing problems with the LCD after a couple of weeks of no problems. <br />I don't know if this is a bug with all Coby Mp957s but if it happens again I am going to consider buying from a different company - one that is known and with more promise (perhaps something from Sony)

How long have you owned it:

Three-to-six months

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
