In my dealings with Best Buy, no issue with most consumer electronics in opening the box to check them out–typically no restocking fee (unless things have changed) with a return. And unknown when SanDisk will be releasing info.–this is a new product. So maybe open the box and become the expert?!?
Don’t count the Clip Sport out–a 25-hour battery is a nice thing, and I understand that the screen is an improvement over the Zip.

Yeah, I know their return policy but being a ‘good guy’ I don’t want to crack open a box of something I’m not sure I want to keep.
Sandisk put the quick-start manual up today. Button configuration is definitely different from any Clip product, the power switch is the center button. Not much info otherwise.
So apparently the 16GB model sold overseas is once again not deemed suitable for US users? :confounded:
Sorry to hear that. Especially relevant and unfortunate since the 2 memories (internal and card) cannot be combined.
Well, I hope that I am proven wrong, and that the 16GB model ends up being offered here.
Although I personally have been content with a 32GB card in a Zip ( I didn’t want to go through the hassle of re-formatting a 64GB card to FAT32) , and even now I only have a 16GB card in mine, there are people that want to carry everything with them, or use FLAC which eats up tons of space.
The 16GB version will be offered in all regions. The release for the 16GB is still a few months out. It will have the same 4000 folder/file database limit for internal and 4000 folder/file limit for external memory. These databases are not combined and must be accessed separately.
That’s good news, slotmonsta (about the 16GB version’s pending release)! If one exceeds the file/folder database limit, I assume they can still bypass the database and navigate to their full song collection through the folder browser, yes?
Long time sandisk user. I am on my 3rd Fuze V1 and have had several of the Clips. The earphone jack and clip on my wife’s clip broke so like some others, we went to Best Buy to get a new one. She didn’t want an Ipod and we saw the Sport and bought two of the 8gb versions. I have to say, that I am quite dissapointed in it after a week of use. I rockboxed one of my old Fuzes so I could use it instead of the brand new Sport. The biggest disappointment is the fact that the internal memory and the card slot are separate in the database. It has frustrated my wife greatly. I am thinking of putting it away till they come up with a firmware fix or a rockbox solution. Seems to me, that if somebody can get the bin file for the sport, that rockbox would be a simple fix as they already have working ports on the clip+ and Zip, which this sport is based on.
