Well, it's a tough call. It's not the most exciting player to look at or use, but it has some great features. Unfortunately the controller is poorly designed and can be frustrating when you have to press it several times to get it to register your command. Some firmware bugs exist that may or may not ever get fixed, since RCA isn't known for frequent (if any) firmware updates. Price is equal or higher than Rio Karma which feels a lot more polished, though lacks some key features offered here, in addition to a case. Price is also close to the iRiver iHP which has an impressive remote, but is less user-friendly overall. I would say that the RD2850 is a good alternative for people who want a player with Mass Storage Comlience and file/folder browsing, but don't need features like iHP's line-in recording, OGG support, or in-line remote.
