Hello,
Since I have been using mp3 players I have always gone with SanDisk products. My first mp3 player, which I bought using my own money, was part of the e200 series. Since then I have owned a sansa view, a clip and a clip+.
Out of these players the one I have enjoyed the most and also the longest would be the e200. The e200 lasted for years of heavy(and i mean HEAVY) use. While the View broke in a few short months, and the clips both lost their…clips.
The e200 was a tank, which suited my needs really well as I literally always had it with me and in my pocket. No case, no screen, just mp3 player in a pair of jeans. Fall after fall it kept on playing for well over 2 years(2006-2009).
The e200 also had a sleak and unique appearance. The ring of light scroll wheel started many conversations which I used to influence atleast two others into buying sansa products.
Now I am still using the clip+ but I’m in the market for a new player and as much as I want to just buy another e280, it seems like a lot of money to spend on an out dated gadget.
I would love to see a new line-up for the e200s. How likely is this?
Here is a user review I gave a few years back on cnet.com: http://reviews.cnet.com/mp3-players/sandisk-sansa-e260-4gb/4864-6490_7-31684139.html?messageID=2388734&tag=contentMain;contentBody
Bellow is a picture of my sansa when I changed the SM LEDs in my player. Something both of my friends who had purchased the player had me do to their players as well. I miss those scroll wheels soooo much!
