What's great about it: Everything. Easy to use! Long battery life.
What's not so great: No USB connectivity.
I started to fall behind in my classes. So my mom bought this voice recorder for me last week or two. So far it serve me well, and I'll be caught up in no time. Thanks to this
So far its easy to use, you can record over 21 hours of recordings using the highest quality.
With this voice recorder, you can record using the built in microphone (which is good) or you can connect an external microphone or sources (TV computer, radio, etc). Also there is a headphone jack, so you can plug in a head phone, or external speakers if you wanted to.
I like this voice recorder, but the only downside is that it doesn't have USB connectivity, so if you want to transfer your recordings, then you have to do the old fashioned way.
Oh and one more thing, it came with 2 AAA batteries, and it with 2 AAA batteries, it give you 20+ hours of battery.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: not perfect, but pretty good sound quality
I use this item to record conferences and meetings. I am a computer applications programmer and must have meetings with my clients regarding applications being produced. I find it much more efficient to have an audio record of these meetings. I do not have to make notes, therefore I can concentrate on what is being discussed, but still have a record of everything that was discussed.
This item certainly works for me to accomplish the above.

What's great about it: memory jogger
What's not so great: sensitivity of keys in sleep mode
Setting the device up was relatively easy (although I missed the 24 vs 12 on the clock) and getting and retreiving messages fine. I haven't found a use for 5 folders but they are easy to ignore. The only problem I have with the device is its sensitivity; when it is in my pocket on sleep mode the slightest touch on any key wakes it up and I get the last message repeated back to me! Pain in the butt!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: very easy to use (even in a dark auditorium)
What's not so great: No computer interface or removable card for backing up
bought it before a weekend business conference and recorded friday night, all day saturday and all day sunday. Good recording quality when hooked up to car stereo on the way home and in headphones. If I want to back up conference to computer I'll have to "play" it into the computer in real time vs. a removable card or usb interface. But good value for the price.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Picked up sounds very well - used outdoors for recording peepers (frogs) and it seemed to work great
What's not so great: When I changed the batteries, everything was lost. Apparently this is NOT supposed to happen. I am returning item.
Seemed good for the money, but data lost on battery change. I will be returning the item.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Very Easy to Use at A great Value
What's not so great: Nothing yet
Atfer shopping for a recorder found out many differences. This recorder lets you pause, back up, edit, save. Lots of other don't preform like that. Plenty of storage room. Primary use for this recorder is to record college classes and lectures. And it works great for its intended purpose.
I would recommend this to a friend!
