I've put out several sites lately that were picked up, and stayed in the index doing well from the start - no so called sandbox.

Frankly, I feel this sandbox thing is more of a penalty for new sites that attempt to inflate ranking my acquiring incoming links in an unnatural way (too many, too fast), but that's only an opinion since I have no first hand experience with being sandboxed.

My point is that being sandboxed may be a possibility, it's certainly not an inevitability.
