I received this Walkman after my NW-A26 finally broke. I thought it was the perfect device despite some flaws, so I was very reluctant to upgrade. The NW-A55 turned out to be much better than I expected and better than the A26 in the most important ways. Pros: UI is relatively intuitive and easy to use, Bluetooth connects easily, good display, pocket-sized, decent battery when not using Bluetooth, both music and podcasts sound good, large memory (with optional card), bookmark list twice as much much like A26Cons: Shuffle doesn't separate music and podcasts, volume is average for podcasts, no quick jumps to artist or album from the Now Playing screen when you're in the shuffle between display/power button presses and occasionally there a noticeable lag when the screen lights up, the hold button can be hard to release when you press the protective case (which I recommend) Overall: I think there's always room for improvement with the Walkman, but it's still a very good iteration and I'm excited to see how the next models will perform.
