I like to think I have no brand loyalty, but I do have severe brand preference most of the time. There are some things that I tend to be just brand loyal for sure. I only buy Hanes underwear and tshirts. I buy Levi's jeans and Intel processors.

Recently I have been trying to buy a digital voice recorder to replace the

Olympus DS-2

and Walmart had the

Sony UX-200

for $34 on sale from $99.

I have always had an Olympus recorder going back to the Pearlcorder micro cassette days. It was a hard struggle for me to buy this Sony even though it was priced much cheaper than the

Olympus DS-71

that I wanted for $168.

It should work for my applications, but I found it rather strange that I like Sony's other media products, but I have never liked their voice recorders. If it wasn't the design of the unit, it was the software on it.

I'll be using it for the first application in a few hours. I've already done a test run, so it should suit my needs.

Share a story about how you switched brands or almost switched brands.
