It's finally here! I had ordered it through Amazon and they told me it would arrive around November 7. When I went to the Sansa Forums I discovered that it was already in Best Buy. I promptly cancelled my Amazon order and flew to Best Buy.
It comes packaged in the typical nearly nonbreakable plastic blister packaging. I hauled rear tail back home to open it.
With a sharp knife the packaging came off to reveal the Quick Start Guide.
There really isn't that much in the box. You get the player, a usb cable, the headphones and a mini CD to install the Best Buy Digital Music Store software. So how large is this thing? I bought it because I grew tired of carrying my 2nd generation iPod 20 GB which weighs as much as a brick and is huge. I was looking for a thin flash player that could accomodate my entire music collection but be ultra portable.
Above you see my wife's Sansa e260 6 GB player, the Sansa View and my 2nd Gen iPod 20 GB brick. So it's not that tiny, is it? But the screen is a relatively large 2.4" and the player is very thin.
It really is as thin as a pencil. It's a little taller than my iPod, but not nearly as wide. And it's very light.
Right now it's charging. I can't wait to try it out. Stay tuned for my full review...
