Most of the refurbs are the v1 hardware which has a nice mature version of Rockbox available if you;re into that kind of thing.

I'm definitely into it. Got this for $40 about 8 months ago or so. With Rockbox it's great. No problems whatsoever. Battery life is about 14 1/2 hours. With Shure earphones it sounds pretty damn good. Rockbox has a lot of options for customizing display and audio.

Rockbox is the only way to go!

#4, yay Rockbox! I got my e280 (and my e260) instead of an iPod solely because it ran Rockbox.

I used this for college lectures recording. Best thing ever.

I bought my E260 v1 three years ago. Rockboxed and never a hint of trouble.
