NW-S766

The NW-S766 delivers the maximum 32 GB storage in the ninth-generation S Series with built-in Bluetooth. It completed the family's E050-body update. It offers 32 GB flash memory supporting MP3, WMA, AAC, and WAV playback plus video and photo. The lithium-ion battery provides 42 hours, with WM-PORT, Clear Phase, Bluetooth, and speaker.

The S766 caps this generation and gives it the most complete version of the concept before the category shifts more aggressively. It still is part of the classic dedicated-player world, but with an awareness of where things are going.
