    The Good: The Samsung Q2 is incredibly inexpensive and offers solid sound quality, a nice screen, and a decent array of features, such as an FM tuner, voice recording, and games.

    The Bad: The Samsung Q2 has a cheap, plastic design that's generic looking. There's no dedicated volume, and the touch-pad interface is not ideal for all users. The battery life for audio is appalling.

    The Bottom Line: The Samsung Q2 offers excellent bang for your buck thanks to its rock-bottom pricing, plentiful features, lovely screen, and solid sound quality.

    Review Summary: If the Samsung Q2 offered more robust file support, it might really give the iPod nano a run for its money. Still, it's a great bargain for an easy-to-use, low-capacity MP3 player.
