I just got mine in the mail 2 hours ago... It was an impulse buy.  I have 
the Olympus LS-10 and was looking for something even smaller because 
smaller generally means easier to carry and use.

I played with the Yamaha for 5 minutes and I don't see myself using it. 
The controls are too small and the unit does not appear as functional or 
intuitive or well-built as my Olympus LS-10.

Therefore I would like to sell it.  If you are interested in buying this 
brand new unit (I only set the date and made one recording, I have not 
even plugged headphones in it; all accessories are still wrapped in 
plastic) please contact me at 

Thank you!
