UPDATE: I've now been using this gem for well over four years. The battery still holds a charge and the player is still chugging along flawlessly. The scroll wheel makes it much, much better than my phone for skipping through tracks, because I can do that by feel and don't have to look at the screen. I've never tried watching video on it and doubt it would be worth it, because the screen is so small and also because I imagine playing video would run the battery down pretty quickly. For that I would suggest using a smartphone instead. For music and FM radio, though, I absolutely love my Fuze!

This is the first mp3 player I've ever owned (never wanted to deal with Apple), and I've had it now for about a week. It couldn't be easier to learn to use; I had no problem at all figuring it out and transferring my music and podcasts onto it (haven't tried any video). The radio reception is great. The normal volume level isn't adequate for hearing above traffic noise, but I just realized there's a high volume setting option, which should do the trick. The scroll wheel makes navigating quick and even fun. The on/off/hold switch is recessed and tiny, so not terribly user-friendly. I haven't yet come close to running down the battery (I do recharge it every couple of days). It's extremely lightweight and very cute, too; it fits nicely in my (small) hand. Another reviewer was blown away by Sandisk's tech support so I contacted Sandisk to register my Fuze, as the registration site is down. A person with a name e-mailed me back *within a couple of minutes* with the registration info. Great player, great company, great value.

4.0 out of 5 stars fun with music :)

I will do a quick pro/con list than sum it up at the end:

PRO:
- Easy to use after the 1st few uses you will be able to scroll & click with ease.
- Easy to read screen and menus. List all songs, ablum covers, titles, even a quick view of your Equalizer at the tap of a button.
- Small & light - for a unit that offers such a nice bright screen and good rechargable battery it is light and easy to carry. Weighs so little / profile is so small on your arm.
- Good volume and easy to set up equalizer. While it does not Blast at high levels you can easily set your equalizer to get a better sound while you are listening to your music. Funny note - you get about 3 BIG warning notes inside to not play music too loud or you will damage your ears - not sure if you can make it that loud but guess they worry about law suits in the future ;).
- You can add an extra memory card to boost the internal memory - not sure of any lag time on music or video but that could be a con if it does happen.
- Nice battery life = ran a half marathon for 90 minutes than kept using it through out the week and battery seemed fine. Not sure about that 20 hour claim but we shall see.
- Easy to connect to computer = just plug it in, sync, & use your media player to drag and drop songs, etc.
- The blue color one looks very nice = not as bright/gaudy looking as the pic. More of a Steel Blue type color.

CONS:
- just like with all newer MP3s = the only thing you get are the standard cables and lousy ear phones. You should upgrade and think about getting an armband or such to carry your mp3 and protect it esp if you will use for exercise.
- USB cable has one end that is built just for this unit so if you lose or break it a brand specific replacement is needed. They sell some good cheap ones along with cig lighter and wall unit chargers that may be a nice extra to get on the side.
- Video seems like it would be too small on the screen to watch and seems kind of a pain to convert the format for the device. Have not tried yet - when I do will update review.
- Unit is so small/light worry about durablity, esp with exercise and the unprotected screen. The arm band I bought sep. sometimes traps moisture from sweat & I hope this does not ruin the unit in the long run. But it is great that it weighs so little / profile is so small on your arm.

Summary = for the price and memory it is a good deal. Not a IPOD fan so this seems like a good alternate - hate to have to use some companies format for my music so I always go with just MP3 units.
Just checking at is seems most 4GB MP3 units without extra memory slots cost even more than this unit does. The blue color one looks nice = not as bright/gaudy looking as the pic, too bad my arm band hides the color ;). Lots of fun to use and the small size/weight makes it great to carry around. Going to have to hold off on the durability issue, esp when using when you sweat a lot = not sure if unit can handle getting a bit of mositure on it but if you get a good arm band / case that may not be an issue.

I've had this for a couple weeks and love it. After I downloaded half my CD library over 100 CD's I just dragged and dropped in Windows Media Player. It's that simple. You don't have to install any software or convert your files or anything. I've got an IPod touch that I haven't loaded music on yet. The storage capacity is a bit small but for the price and the ability to expand using micro SD it's awesome. I've already got 600 songs on it and can probably do another 200 or so without too much difficulty. I probably should have gotten the 8gb but I think 800 songs will keep me happy for a while. Besides the micro cards are fairly cheap. It's simple to use which is the big key. I suggest buying this along with the cheap combo kit that has a black silicone case, strap, belt clip and chargers (all for about $5 + shipping). The black case covers everything but the screen, wheel and ports and fits perfect. You could buy a hot pink one and if you put the black case on nobody would know. I've got the 8gb Ipod touch which is more or less a toy that you have to baby. If you are debating between Ipod and Sansa don't hesitate to buy this, maybe just a bigger one than 4gb. Also the headphones that come with it are junk just like all MP3's and even Ipod's. Volume set over halfway and they would cut out constantly. You can but a set of Coby's for $5 that will provide much better sound and not cut out even at full volume. About $70 total with accessories and it's probably one of the best buys I've made. If a song seems to skip play it again, if it does it again then re-sync or you may need to re-copy to your PC. I had one song that skipped and it turned out to be a bad copy from the CD to PC. IT'S NOT THE FUZE but bad headphones or bad song copies that cause "skipping" sounds. You can bounce this off of pavement and it isn't going to skip. Some people seem to think that digital media can skip like a record player or CD, not the case as long as you have a good digital copy.
