Non-expandable memory, No radio, Occasionally tricky nav wheel
The Sony NWZ-B173 is latest stick MP3 player from the MP3 player veteran. If you want the most features and the most flexibility, you won't find it here. There's no radio, limited format support and a very basic, teeny display. What it does have, though, ...
Good looking, compact music player, threeminute charge time (90 mins playback),

Il Sony NWZ-B173F è uno dei lettori più cool e trendy in circolazione, grazie anche alla vira maniacale che SOny ha messo nella cura dei dettagli stilistici (vedi clip posteriore o design Jog Dial). Le funzionalità non sono moltissime, a differenza di...
