iPod touch 8 GB
 
Does anybody have any experience with this product? I've read quite a few reviews and so far none of them have been negative. Sure, there are going to be some slight problems but nothing major that I've read up on.

I can get it for $200, unopened, still in the box from somebody here at work (which is a great deal because the cheapest listing I've seen online is $250).

Is this a good deal?

me and tutti went to the ipod store and the guy who was there let us play with his. it was good fun but i failed to see the point in it. you want music by a regular ipod, you want video and internet and all that jazz, get a good phone. i dont understand the point in the touch other then you get to touch it.

cheapest ive seen is around 500 i think, i havent checked ina while so it could of gone down.

I really don't care that it's "touch" - I've never owned an iPod before and I don't have an mp3 player right now. My phone also doesn't get internet so I think this would be a good purchase for me.

Kazilla 2008-09-09 11:57 AM

think of how often you've needed to get online on the go. and if you are just looking for an mp3 player just get your basic ipod - you will still be cooler then me sence ive only ever held the damn thing. i just cant justify paying so much for something you already have.

an iphone would be a better purchase, do et all!

Thanatos 2008-09-09 01:02 PM

What do you mean, "something I already have"? I don't have an mp3 player, and I don't have mobile internet. It's

You should change the name of the thread to iphone, because an ipod touch 8g is actually an ipod video nano.

Thanatos 2008-09-09 01:12 PM

Umm, no. The iPod touch doesn't have phone capabilities, negating the title "iPhone."

I like how you come in here telling me what to do when you have no fucking idea what you're talking about.

Wallow 2008-09-09 01:14 PM

Uhh, unless you edit it, you're the dumbass. Neither in the title or in your "introductory" post does it mention phone, which is what I meant in my last post.

D3V 2008-09-09 01:15 PM

That is a good deal considering you are willing to dish out that much money. However, the touch isn't necessary if you are only going to be using it to listen to music, If it were me I'd just go get a regular Nano or something if you are just wanting to listen to music, as i'm almost positive they should be cheaper now, and you can probably get about twice the space.

Kazilla 2008-09-09 01:16 PM

eh, nothing thanatos mentioned has anything to do with phone... i brought the entire iphone subject up. he wants an ipod touch, which is why he created a post named ipod touch

Yea, I just recalled that ipod touches have internet. I had thought before that only iphones had that capability.

The fuck are you talking about? No shit it doesn't mention anything about a phone, which is why the thread is called iPOD TOUCH. I don't want an iPhone, I want an iPod.

You're an idiot.

D3V, mobile internet would be pretty cool.. I think the combination of mp3's + internet = sweet.

D3V 2008-09-09 01:45 PM

Well, that's basically where your decision is. Like I said if you have 200 to throw down, you are getting a better deal on that specific item than you probably will ever find anywhere else. Just try and take into consideration how much you'll actually use the mobile internet... I mean if you really feel you will be using it like every day, then go for it.

Personally, I never have gotten anything like that, because about 95% of the time that I am awake during the week, I have access to the internet or a computer, so it's not like I would need it. But that's just my personal opinion as I inherit some Jewish characteristics and love to save money on anything that I can, but that's just me.

Thanatos 2008-09-09 01:53 PM

Well if I find I don't utilize most of the features it has to offer, I can always sell it later on.

D3V 2008-09-09 01:58 PM

Get it!

sheerx 2008-09-09 02:11 PM

If you're in the market for a new mp3 player you should check out the new Creative ZEN x-fi. The sound quality is supposed to be unrivaled ATM. Thinking about getting one myself.

One of my friends has an 8GB iPod Touch, and it's pretty amazing. We were watching random youtube videos in the woods while they were getting blazed. It takes a few minutes to get accustomed as to how it works, but I'm pretty sure it's the next gizmo I'm going to buy.


Also, to repeat the already known fact, it does not have phone capabilities. Internet/phone are not the same thing. In essence, fuck the fuck off Wallow! GTFO!


Thanatos, you will be very satisfied with your buy. You have porn/music on the go, what more do you need?

The only problem with the Touch internet is the fact that it's wi-fi only. For your price, go for it. If you were buying it in a store, I'd say, "Fuck that, save a hundred and get an iPhone."

Kazilla 2008-09-10 07:41 AM

i heard on the news last night the reported said, "What you should know before buying the new iPod". I looked at tutti and said, "Omg, Thanatos is going to buy that right now". I didn't stay up long enough to see what they said, but you might look it up or something.

That's true. I'm on a college campus, and their wi-fi is pretty extensive.
