topic NWZ-A845B.CEW question(s) from newbie in Portable Audio https://community.sony.cz/t5/portable-audio/nwz-a845b-cew-question-s-from-newbie/m-p/171377#M1502 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P> 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.</P><P>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,&nbsp; 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.</P><P>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.</P><P>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.</P><P></P><P>I would love to hear from anyone who can help, particularly people who have used the device!!</P><P></P><P>Many thanks!</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 01 Oct 2010 19:18:34 GMT hayleyh5 2010-10-01T19:18:34Z NWZ-A845B.CEW question(s) from newbie https://community.sony.cz/t5/portable-audio/nwz-a845b-cew-question-s-from-newbie/m-p/171377#M1502 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P> Hi there, thanks for reading.
