 Actually rating the e250, but need to know about SDHC cards October 24, 2008
Please excuse the fact that this isn't actually a review, but I'm striking out as I look for info about the e260's expansion slot.
The question is this: are these e260's compatible with SDHC cards (or only SD, the older, slower format), and will it support 4gb, 6gb, and 8gb cards?
There are issues with some of the e250's. We have two of them, one is a "Version 2" and the other is not. The version 2 takes 4 GB cards; the other one does not. The Version 2 plays audible book files, the other one does not.
We bought both at Amazon, and simply "lucked out" that the second one is Version 2.
Mind you, they're both excellent devices. That's why I'm shopping for two more to give as gifts.
Thanks for any help you can offer, or for any referrals you can make to a more appropriate forum.

not user friendly at all but I think it's great for people who have time to figure it out.
 Refurbished Not the way to go... October 12, 2008
We decided to try and save some money by buying refurbished MP3 players for the kids. Both died within four days of having gotten them. No real reason found for the failures, they just flat stopped working. Not recommended to anyone that they buy refurbished stuff. Save up the money and buy a good quality new one. You truly get what you pay for.

When I received this player last Christmas, I was thrilled with it. It had excellent sound quality, the capacity seemed to be more than ample, the FM tuner worked like a dream,and the controls were extremely easy to master.
The only issue I had with the player for the first few months was that the screen would occasionally "ghost." I did discover that this could easily be fixed by buying a special screw driver and removing, then reinserting, the battery.
Roughly six months later, however, the player became full and it took it fifteen minutes to load every time I turned the play off or on. I figured that this was not a big deal as I could easily buy a micro sd card for the expansion slot. Consulting the Sandisk website, I learned that any card should work--this was completely incorrect. After two weeks of my computer and the player not recognizing the new card, as well as numerous calls to customer service, my father realized that only 4 gig and less cards would work in the slot. I got a new card, and was finally able to use the player again. Due to a flaw in the firmware, however, I am unable to delete any songs from the player, though I've tried every "solution" the Sandisk customer service page recommended.
Now, the death of my Sansa has finally come--the wheel has become inoperable. I am unable to make any selections from the menu, choose songs or albums, or even control the player's volume. Even the slightest movement of the play sends the wheel moving through two or three rotations.
In short, I would gladly have kept my old Creative USB MP3 player had I known how terrible this player is.

This is a stylish looking unit. The only issue I have with the product is it should be easier to change the volume.
