SanDisk Sansa e260 review {Engadget}

Jun 7th 2006 4:06PM I recently purchased the Sansa e260 after much review at your site and at CNet.com. I really wanted a machine that would play both music and the radio. I don't care about the video and pictures. Anyway, the i-pod dosen't have the radio feature, and I can't feigure out why they haven't come up with one that does, it seems like a no-brainer. But anyway, they don't and they are over priced and they are, in the case of the Nano, flimsy. So I bought the Sansa. I am very happy with it. The music plays great and the radio works pretty good. I mean, there is no antana so sometimes going under a bridge the reception fizzes out, but hey, nothing is perfect. I have also been very pleasently suprised by the customer service I've received from SanDisk. The only things I don't like about the e260, if you could even classify them as dislikes, are that, like you've pointed out the wheel seems flimsy, but I haven't had any problems with functionality. I also don't care for how you have to plug it into your computer via a USB to charge it. I think it's weird. Finally, if I had one wish to add to it, it would be that they would add AM radio so I could listen to traffic reports and baseball games (Go Mariners!)
