the only thing it has going for it over the Fuze is Wi-Fi capability. and that is limited (in fact in this model it seems non existent). it has no Fm radio, no voice recorder, is much thicker and somewhat heavier. it also doesn't sound as good. its memory can only be expanded by 2 gigs more using a standard micro SD card. the Fuze's memory can be expanded up to 16 gigs more using a microSDHC (High Capacity) card. an 8 gig card will run you around $15 online. so...for around $50 you can have a 10 gig player with the Fuze
i have one....its perfect. and this is a GREAT deal. forget The Connect
I've been waiting for a deal on a new Fuze for a long time. At this price, I expected it to be refurbished, but it says this is new. That makes this a fantastic deal.
it should also be noted this is one of the better supported players on the market. if anyone gets one update to the latest firmware and benefit from added features for audio enhancements, folder browsing, slotRadio compatibility, addeditional audio file support, and improved overall stability. updating is a total "drag and drop" affair. very simple
you can find lots more info at anythingbutipod forums or the Sandisk Sansa forum itself
Rockbox is also being worked on for porting to the Sansa Fuze and Clip players, if you're into that sort of thing.
Both the Fuze and Clip will record FM radio, which is rather unique. For audiobooks, both players have some unique playback features which make them fantastic for that purpose as well. The only knock on the Fuze is the connector is proprietary. I much prefer the standard USB connector on the Clip. But the microSD expandability is the real gem here IMO. The Fuze integrates internal and external memory in the GUI, which again is uncommon. The Creative players with SD slots do not integrate them, so you can browse either internal or external, but you can't sort both simultaneously. Integrated sorting is a feature that's usually relegated to the higher-end players, so to get that in such an affordable device is a treat.
if you are talking about sound quality, NO. sansa clip and fuze have better chips with great sound quality. bigger screen, yes. but who will really watch movie on that tiny screen anyway. even fuze need convert regular avi to its own fuze format, which is time-consuming process. I ordered one for sound quality and expendable memory with micro sd, which is dirty cheap now days.

yeah an official Rockbox "test" build is out for the Fuze, v.1. it has to be a Version 1, of course. also for v.2 e200 series players
but back to the Fuze...i doubt these are v.1 players. so, no Rockbox for them yet. however if some v.1's slip through or someone reading happens to have one and wants RB, here are the d/l's and instructions for install

I purchased a Connect a few weeks ago. Wi-Fi is easily reinstalled by doing a firmware update, very easy to do. Picks up free Yahoo "radio stations" from your broadband wireless router to stream music by category, i.e., 80s music, 90s music, rock (33 stations), urban (18 stations), latin (5 stations), country (9 stations), jazz/blues (6 stations), etc. Very acceptable sound quality.
The Connect has an external speaker that is nice for kids, although speaker doesn't work on some of the refurbs. The Connect's memory CAN be expanded by 16GB using a microSDHC card. All kinds of good information at Sansa forums. Very bright screen, but all Sansa's are bright.
I also own a Clip. Music is slightly better on the Clip. I read the Clip's music is also better than the Fuze. If you're after the best music reproduction there is, buy a Clip. It is better than the ipods. The other Sansa's have very good sound, you won't be disappointed.
The Fuze being new is a definite advantage over the refurbed Connect. Either one is a great deal.
Obviously you guys have done your research! Any opinion on whether the sound quality on either the Clip or this Fuze would be better than my existing Sansa e250? Just wondering if it would be worth my while to upgrade...always in search of better sound quality! Btw I am running a ver of Rockbox on mine, if that makes a difference in sound quality over normal firmware, I don't know.
GMY said:I read the Clip's music is also better than the Fuze. I think whatever you read was wrong. The Clip and Fuze use the same sound chip and have identical sound quality. I've read that on several web sites, including the Sansa forums.
The sound quality is better than the e250. Anythingbutipod rates the sound quality on Clip and Fuze as "the best" sound quality on any player.
Do I need this? No. Do I feel guilty for spending money on something to get probably only slightly better sound quality OF A COMPRESSED Mp3 FILE? Yes. Will I buy it anyway? All Signs Point to Yes.
It's a great inexpensive Player - and handles 16MB microHDSC. The FM radio on mine doesn't pick up stations too well - but neither does my home stereo - so it might be a signal strength issue.
