Question about which Sansa I should try to buy.

<< < (2/2)

OzziePants:
That makes sense. I just assumed they were different since they were capitalized differently.

Either way, I think I get what the datasheet is saying now.

According to this, I guess my best bet is Fuzev1.

I guess I'll just need to wait for USB work to get done.

Though does anyone have any tips to get Fuzev1's? I normally buy everything online but I don't believe there are anyway to distinguish v1 and v2.

As someone who also buys predominantly online, my suggestion is to search out used or open-box players on sites like ebay or various gadget forums (e.g. head-fi.org or DAPreview.net) where you can communicate with the seller and/or post a specific "Want To Buy" request to ensure you're getting the right version. That's how I ended up finding my v1 Fuze and my v2 e280, both of which are in fine shape. You do end up sacrificing the ability to buy new that way, but otherwise it's a total crapshoot.

You mean the ones I already explained are wrong ;)

Yes, those ones.  I was just trying to keep things simple -- an explanation of nomenclature, not of actual processor speed.
