I'll just butt in here Steve and say that the latest in-depth review mentions the time-date feature as also the fidliness of the battery cover which serves the dual purpose of, when partially opened, covering the card socket and the USB port. Afraid its not really worth listening to all the review as the guy gets bogged down in trying out various microphones. First 30-40 minutes are the interesting bit.

Are you saying the R-09 has time and date? This was my beef about the R-01, it never had time and date, so all the files were created at the same time, 12:00 p.m. on January 1 2005, or something like that. Glad you like it. Must get one.

Got mine this morning and, with sighted help accessed the menus and done the relatively permanent settings such as time and date, recording format, sampling rate, etc. and a few more. Quality of recording, using the in-built microphones is very good. Am using a Bose noise reduction headphone. When opening the SD card compartment/battery compartment, be careful not to damage the unit. It is a double stage operation and the lid seems rather flimsy.
