 Great Product!!! July 24, 2008
We ordered three of these for my husband and two children for our really long plane ride to Europe. We "test drove" the product on a short trip the weekend before, and the girls loved them! They hold a lot of movies, and have an oversize screen as compared to my iPod Nano. The movie quality is very good on the Sansa View - we tend to forget that the device is so small! The music quality is great too. The battery lasts about the length of time it says, although it's a stretch to get a full 6 hours when watching video consistently. And sometimes the sound when watching movies isn't loud enough, so be prepared to have really good headphones. All in all, we are very happy with the Sansa View! It kept my children and my husband entertained during our 10 hour flight!
Great display, straightforward design July 13, 2008

I bought my Sansa View 8gb three weeks ago, and it's been working great. I wanted a new mp3 player mainly to watch movies or video clips while I travel. The video quality isn't the best, but it's still very good. Same with the photo quality. The screen is big, bright, and crisp. The sound quality is good as well.
Navigating through the View is quite easy. It only took me about ten minutes to get the hang of it. Although I haven't bought a MicroSD card yet, I love the idea of an expandable library.
Several people have mentioned bugs in the View, but I haven't had a problem. I think Sandisk has worked all of those out.
My only problem with the View is that it came with Rhapsody. It's not the easiest program to work with, although they say adding music is as simple as "drag and drop". For some reason I have all my songs in the Videos folder as well as my Music folder. They play just fine, but I don't know how it happened. It may just be me not understanding the program well enough.
I definitely recommend the Sansa View to anyone looking for an inexpensive video mp3 player.
PROS:
-Inexpensive
-Expandable library with MicroSD card
-Big, bright, crisp screen
-Easy to navigate
-Slim and attractive look
CONS:
-Comes with Rhapsody
-Have to hold the Power switch a little while before it turns off
 Frustrating July 9, 2008

Any problem listed in previous reviews, I encountered with mine. At which point I discovered one more weakness of this mp3 player.
It does not fare well against a hammer.
I love it!! July 3, 2008

I truly love this MP3 player. I would recommend it to anyone. Mine holds a charge for about two to three days. I play it about six hours a day listening mostly to an FM radio station; but also play music about one to two hours a day. Can't imagine life in a office environment without it.
An Elegant Device June 30, 2008

This is the MP3 player I was waiting for! It is an excellent and elegant device. Perhaps that is a problem. I read one review where the writer said he had all kinds of problems with his View that it would not work properly even after the original firmware upgrade. he blamed it all on the device and firmware. Yes, the View took a little while to get used to. It was necessary to learn how to use the device properly and learn it. Time invested will be rewarded. Pay particular attention to the thumbwheel. It is powerful, elegant, responsive and sensitive. It is plenty intuitive, but perhaps more featured and capable than one might first expect. So work with it. Menu structure and function is good but takes a little getting used to. You may find features you did not realize are there. SanDisk should really put more emphasis on helping to educate people about this. It has been worth it. I concluded that that reviewer had one giant thumb and was a Cyclops. I'll say no more. There were originally firmware issues with the device. New firmware was already out when I got mine early on 2008. Upgrading was easy. I just installed newer firmware this month. Again, easy to do. I never had a problem with it before or after. I bought the 8Gb View and later installed a SanDisk 8Gb microSD aux chip. Again worked great. Had to play around just a little with Audible dot com and Rhapsody dot com to figure that out. I have been through all the functions of this device, they will say they can be a little obscure, but they work great. The issue that people may have is the thumbwheel is so powerful and sensitive. The device is mostly controlled by it. The device is extremely capable and elegant as I said, but many may miss this if they don't take the time to learn how to really get the most out of it. The way the menus/screens and selections are navigated are very well thought out. But a little difficult and confusing at first. I would not have it any other way because it is designed right and it is sooo very powerful. You have a very capable device that will do all it should. But you must experiment and take the time learn how to use it. This is the MP3 I waited for and am glad I did. Great vivid screen and size, great capacity, form factor. All the features one should need and more. My only regret is that I did not buy a larger capacity unit. But adding another 8Gb for a total of 16 is pretty good. I use it for audio books/periodicals and presentations and for music. The recorder and FM radio features are nice also. Put a video of live 82d jump on it it works great in video mode. I feel sorry for the guy who could not get his to work. It was pretty obvious it was the User and not the View. There are simpler and less capable devices out there that sacrifice functionality and compromise on features. Those are easy to find. As I said, it is a sophisticated and elegant device, but still simply and intelligently executed. I think SanDisk design engineers must have thought hard about how to make this device really right. I think thye did that. Kudos to them. There is little that should be changed or added. Once learned, it is also easy to use with little effort. Just about the perfect MP3. I think it is clear runaway as the best flash MP3 player in its class on the market at this time. Superbly executed. SanDisk does make very innovative and solid products. BTW, I do own a little of their stock (SNDK). My next MP3 will probably be a 32 or 64 Gb View. Almost lost my 8gb microSD so I taped over the slot.
