SanDisk Sansa e260 Review

by Eric Butterfield

- The SanDisk Sansa e260 looks a lot like an Apple iPod Nano--from the front. It's roughly as tall and wide as the Nano, it has a big color screen, and its thumbwheel is surrounded by four navigation buttons. Priced at $229 (as of 4/13/06), the 4GB e260 costs $20 less than a 4GB iPod Nano.

User Reviews for SanDisk Sansa e260

Reviewed by: Kcin1

Duration of ownership: 1 Year

Strengths: Battery Life, Screen Size, Price, Endurance, Fanciness.

Weaknesses: Isn't compatable with same type of file iPod's use. (.mp4)

Overall Evaluation: I've had it for a year so far, and it still works perfectly, even after the times I've dropped it. It still works fine if I have the system full, and the battery is quite low. Its great, and has worked for me perfectly, all I have to do is Sync music from my Windows Media Player to it, and Voila!

Strengths: Nice display, FM tuner is a bonus, decent battery life, I like the size - it may be thicker than a Nano, but it feels more solid and less likely to crack/break if it should fall, be sat/stepped on. Nice appearance, easily cleaned.

Weaknesses: Have had some compatability issues from day one. Rhapsody program is crap. Support is less than helpful.

Overall Evaluation: I think I need "MP3 Players for Dummies", because I have some major play-back issues with this thing. Music will show on the Rhapsody program that won't show on the player, and vice-versa. Music that I rip from my CDs and transfer to the player will not play until I renew my subscription status. 3 exchanges and days of working with tech support haven't helped at all. When it does play, it has good sound and a good look. The buttons, as many others state, are quite small for someone like myself with big hands, but as also stated most mp3 players have that issue. If I could get this thing to show and play what I want it to I would be a truly devoted fan.
