The scratch issue and iCal sync issue are worthy rants, but everything else is just that individual's opinion. They probably shouldn't own any music/video player, because they are bound to find problems with any manufacturer's player. |
Right. ok. Well, thankyou for your input, for all it's value. Did you even bother asking me about the specifics before jumping to conclusions? No. Instead you've made assumptions. I bought it from a shop who also sell via eBay, I saved about £5. I bought it online via that shop (moreover via their eBay account) because it accepted Paypal. I paid that way because I had the money to spend in my Paypal account and it was not practical or convenient to put the money in a bank account and buy it in the High Street. Not that this is any of your business.
It was brand new, sealed - not because some 'chav' sealed it at the local Kwik Save, but because that's the way Apple made it, inside everything was sealed as it should be. I'm not stupid and I don't appreciate your insinuation otherwise. For the record, I can exchange it, no problem. HOW WILL THAT GIVE ME MORE BATTERY LIFE WHEN PLAYING VIDEO? PLEASE, please tell me because you obviously are far more qualified in the subject than me, I've just missed something, there must be something in the 'ether' which effects cell capacity when being posted via the Royal Mail. Better still, perhaps you have some insight into how buying via eBay effects a battery? Doh!
As for what I should or shouldn't own, that's my choice and not yours, thanks. You'll have to forgive me if I don't put too much stock in your advice at the moment. When I spend this amount of money on something (and I'm SO sorry if I consider spending £200 a substantial amount) I expect the quality the manufacturer advertises and implies, this product is not up to scratch in terms of video/battery performance. It's my RIGHT to be vexed about it, because it's no better than my OLD and KNACKERED Zaurus 5500. As for things like not turning off after a full charge/sync, well, do some research, others have problems, not many but some... my friend's 4G does the same from time to time.
That reminds me, I'll have to phone him in a moment to tell him next time HIS iPod won't switch off, it's not real, it's just his 'opinion'.
That's made my day, priceless! I'm off to fix my bike before I nut the screen.
