 A Great Buy at a Good Price August 9, 2006

Don't believe the nay-sayers.
If you are looking for an alternative to the iPod THIS IS IT!!
The Sansa e260 series is easy to use, has a great set of features and functions and is (very) considerably lower in price then the equivalent iPod. I've been using my Sansa e260 for a couple of months now and I just love it! Unlike some of the other reviewers I have found no problems with the buttons and I find the user interface easy to understand and to navigate. Keeping it charged is no problem ... just buy an inexpensive AC/DC to USB converter - works fine and you can keep using the e260 while it charges. As to needing to use proprietary software to download movies; so what? You're going to need to use some type of software to convert the files anyway, and the software supplied with the e260 does the job just fine.

Bottom line: when you're paying this much for an mp3 player, don't let $50 make you choose this over the nano if it's not what you really want. I chose this over an iPod nano, but I think it's basically a toss-up between the two.
Pros of the sansa:
- it's just a tad bigger than the nano
- you can download songs from pretty much anywhere
- you get voice recording, radio, and video with the sansa
- it's a little cheaper
- replacable battery- I assume they'll start selling these at some point?
Cons:
- the syncing is not exactly intuitive; it really only works well with Windows Explorer, and it's inexplicably hard to get playlists on the sansa
- if you don't press the menu button just right when you turn it on, it freezes and you have to reset it. It's a weird and annoying problem.
- no accessories! I had one choice for an armband to use for running.
- do you really need video on your mp3 player? Especially little crappy videos?
- the voice recording only recored 3-min increments, and you can't upload it to your computer- so forget about bootlegging concerts, or even sharing a lecture with your friends.
I used my friend's nano and had no problem getting songs on it, so it is the player, not me. I wouldn't say this is bad, and I'm glad there's an alternative to ipods, but when you're paying $200 there shouldn't be so many annoyances.

The shipment of my product was excellent. I am also very happy with the device itself. It has a very large screen witch makes storing pictures and videos more worth while. I love it!
Tested Sandisk e260 mp3 July 31, 2006

I did tons of research before I bought this player. Some of my friends had Ipods-and were disappointed. I looked for battery life, scratch resistant case, ability to replace battery, ease of copying. I tried 5 different players before I settled on the Sandisk. I can assure you, you will not be disappointed. Battery life is incredible. LCD display is crisp. Get the gray silicone case for a few bucks and cut a piece of clear transparency film to cover display. This player now becomes just about indestructable. With a Y cable, you can plug in to your home stereo. You will not be unhappy with this purchase. Incidentially, if you ever have a battery problem, instead of shipping it back to company, replacement batteries are now available and easy to install. You will be very satisfied.
 Works...kind of July 20, 2006

Sadly, I had to send this back.
The pros: It looks and sounds great.
The cons: No real playlist support, no bookmarking, does not intergrate well (as claimed) with online services, glitchy firmware.
Somewhere down the line maybe they will improve the firmware, but why pay for an item that works part of the time?
