Both YP-P2 and YP-T10 are missing an important feature which would have made them better, an external memory card slot.Nope , there’s no memory expansion slot.

The interesting feature that Samsung introduced in the new YP-P2 is the effective pairing of Bluetooth 2.0 enabled phones with it, means you can use the headphones and microphone of the P2 for the call management.The music will pause when call comes and you will be able to attend the call and respond through the YP-P2 just like a Bluetooth Handsfree.Plus its having Cool music visualizers.Looks like iPod has got a competition this year. :P.
