Hi Everyone, first time poster.
I’m looking at buying an e260 in the UK (probably from eBay), and i’m slightly confused by box designs.
Most have a blue non-slide box - i take it these are old V1’s? The edition with Radio1’s Live Lounge 2 album included seems to be a black box with a blue slide on cover, and some have a red box with a black slide on cover. Are these V2’s?
Help would be much appreciated.
Unless the eBay seller honestly tells you it’s a v1 or v2 in the listing’s text (hint–if they say you can use Rockbox with it, it’s a v1), it’s a crapshoot–even if you buy new. Only the official ShopSansa site, which will ship internationally, is known to ship only one version–and that’s the v2. Any box, even new ones, can contain either a v1 or a v2; the only sure way to tell which is which is to turn it on and check the firmware version.
