Perfect for me... 
2008-03-24
I'm not a high-tech person at all and had never purchased a MP3 player before, so I read MANY product reviews on several websites before ordering two of these MP3 players - the green one for my 10 year-old daughter and the pink one for myself. When they arrived, I plugged each one into my computer and started downloading music right away using my Windows Media Player. Within an hour the MP3 was charged and ready to go! We have both been very pleased with them, and feel that for the money we got a great deal! All things considered - price, our computer & software, price range, "low-tech" abilities, and song needs - this MP3 player is perfect! A Note on the colors: think "highlighter" green and "highlighter" pink! Yes, they are bright, almost "candy" colored, both lighter and brighter than the photos show. I was surprised at first, but still love them!
Great Product for a Great Price

I bought this because it was very small, lightweight, and easy to exercise with. I also like the style and the color (although there were several pretty colors to choose from). I LOVE the FM radio--it picks up 17 stations crystal clear from my town, which is more than any of my other radios!!! It is so easy to just plug into the computer to charge or add music to. The only thing I wish it had would be more memory for more songs, but I can't listen to very many in one sitting anyway, so it doesn't matter too much!
Great and easy to use! 2008-02-06
I received one for Christmas, and then bought one for my mom. It is very easy to use, has great sound, and is exactly what I wanted.
It will NOT work as a usb drive.

Note: This YP - U3 will NOT work as a USB Drive. it used to work, then Samsung & Microsoft Teamed up to update the firmwire in this device, it can NOT be used as a usb drive now. and it ONLY work on windows XP (not even 2000), no linux, no mac.
And you will need Admin privilege to install the driver. (so if you want to transfer file between computer, this thing won't work).
I am IT engineer so I did a lot research on this and managed to update the firm ware. But it is such a hassle. I won't buy this thing if I know in advance it won't work as a usb drive.
I repeat, It will NOT work as a usual usb drive. you will have to install drivers on the computer. The description in Amazon in not accurate.
if you have a firm ware early than 1.07, it might work. most of them are 1.11 now.
Hope this will save you some money and time.
MP3 Player 
2008-01-07
This little guy is a great option for people who don't want/can't afford an iPod. It has a great amount of storage space and I use it to save a lot of my schoolwork. It's also extremely durable. I've dropped it, sat on it, and watched it fall into a glass of apple juice and still it works perfectly.
I only have two qualms with it though. One, is the obscenely short battery life. I think it's about 3 hours, whereas my previous mp3 player had 6 or 7, it's not something to take on roadtrips, unless you have a laptop available. The second, less important item is the extremely sensitive touchscreen, but it's easy to get used to and there is a hold button.
frustrating 
2008-07-10
i was excited to receive my new mp3 player as i am so done with i-tunes! this device was so easy go load up with songs - just drag and drop. that was probably the best feature of the mp3 player.
here's what i didn't like:
- the color - it is very highlighter, 90's scrunchie sock pink
- the menu controls (play, stop etc) are very touch sensitive and most of the time i end up having to scroll through all the menu options to get back to the "now playing" to fast forward, stop or pause - very annoying!
- the usb connector thingy (yes that's a technical term lol) it was very cheap feeling and i would suspect it does not take much pressure to snap it off.
-the ear buds were horrible!
Made simple for people like me! 2008-06-16
I am electronically illiterate...this player is awesome for me! Very simple to figure out and the quality of sound is great! I would not suggest this product for those who want a lot of songs, but it holds just enough for me! I would also suggest this for anyone who is looking for a gift for someone who is in their teens! Thanks bunches Amazon!
Doesn't work with all computers 2008-05-25
You better be computer savy if you buy this MP3 player or you may not get it to work on your computer. It is not a plug and play device, at least not on my laptop (Acer, Windows XP SP2) The computer would not recognize the device, no drivers were available on the Samsung website and an email to customer service had me try things I had already tried on my own with no success. A friend and I spent several hours using Google and finally found a fix. From what I read on the internet I'm not alone, there are a lot of customers who purchased the same model who were having some of the same problems. Now that it works with my computer and I'm able to transfer music it's a nice, compact little unit. The sound seems to be just fine and it's easy to use. Just be prepared to do some research if it doesn't work on your computer.
Samsung YP-U3JQP 2008-04-08
The price is great and it doesn't need any cable to be hooked up to a computer. The sound is really good and has a built-in radio.
If I had to find some shortcoming I say
1) I don't like the touch sensitive buttons. You don't have the feeling that you are pressing them and sometime you touch the wrong one by mistake
2) the pink color is not like it appear in the picture, it is more pinky.

enjoying it! only drawback is that its standard-size earpieces are a bit too big for my small ears. Excellent sound quality - haven't used all of its features yet.
