well i narrowed it down to about 3 here are the choices:

kingston kpex100
sandisk e260 4gb
creative zen v 4 gb

the thing with the kingston and the sandisk are the both have expansion card slots( mini sd for kingston and micro sd for the sandisk) but the problem with the sandisk is that my friend had one and dropped it accidentaly from waist high and then the headphone jack broke on it. so i dont know about the sandisk

edit: forgot to add i kinda wana watch videos on it and the kingston has the biggest screen

I had a Sansa e280 before and it was awesome (I use one of those iPod Shuffles with the clips now, mainly just for working out).

Sansa if you want to watch vids...you'd have to make it the Zen V Plus for video playback capabilities and you have to convert every video to god-awful formats at a paltry 15FPS.

if you want it for watching full length video sansa may not be the best choice. i have two and i love them but the sansa media converter chops video into 10 min segments. i find it is great for shot home vids and music videos but full legth movies can be tidious. i hear sandisk is developing a second gen e200 that will have 2.5in screen and with optional cradle HD output to your tv. i hear it will be out by the end of the year. if you want a cheap quality mp3 player with alot of features i say go with the sansa.

Between the 3, I'd pick the Sansa and don't look back.
And you can get it much cheaper than $135.

If I were you, I'd pick this instead.
Meizu 4gb MP3 for $99
It doesn't have an expansion slot but 4gb is plenty if you don't store lots of videos.
I have the Sansa e260 BTW and I hardly use up half of the memories.
