THE GOOD
The TrekStor Vibez features a stylish, original design; innovative auto-DJ features; voice and line-in recording; dedicated volume controls; advanced photo-viewing features; and an optional FM tuner. The scroll-wheel interface simplifies song searches.

THE BAD
Album-art option renders text almost unreadable on the TrekStor Vibez, and the FM tuner is not included. The chrome back shows fingerprints and smudges; there's no dedicated hold switch; and the scroll wheel is hard to push accurately.

THE BOTTOM LINE
Better than the iPod Nano in many respects, the TrekStor Vibez scores with its dazzling looks, excellent interface, and solid performance.

    4.5/5
    I have the vibez for 3 weeks now and I'm truly impressed with what it can do.
    First I considered buying an iPod nano or a Zen Micro Photo, but the vibez beats both of them.
    The sound is awesome, the battery is user-replacable, navigating with ...  read more »
