I was just wondering who here has an iPod or an iPod Mini.

I can't decide which to get, , so if you can answer the following questions, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks! Hehe.

6GB iPod MINI
1. Does it have back light? (When you touch the screen, does it light up like the iPod does? or can it not be used in the dark?)
2. Green or Silver?
3. If I were to bid on eBay, what is the lowest price that you think I can win it for?
4. If you have a 6GB iPod Mini, how much did you pay for yours?
5. Can you list me some pros and cons?

20GB iPod
1. If I were to bid on eBay, what is the lowest price that you think I can win it for?
2. If you have a 20GB iPod, how much did you pay for yours?
3. Can you list me some pros and cons?

con: the batteries inside iPods die eventually (regardless of the fact that they're rechargeable) and it costs about 100 dollars to send it to apple and have them replace it. the battery is internal so you can't do yourself. sooo that's why it is good to buy them at best buy so you can get a warranty.

I have a 20GB-LCD colour screen. I said I'd never buy an iPod because they were so trendy, but well, I lied. I freaking love mine. I paid $300 for it. Well, I didn't per se. My boyfriend did. But my advice is to get a case/warranty on it. The screen scratches horribly quick.

I wanted a mini, but 6GB wasn't enough for me.

The mini is ugly, get the regular iPod. For a little more money you get more memory and a better looking player.

I agree! And even with the 20GB - I filled it up in no time!!

It was my choice between a mini and regular and I chose mini because it's smaller, holds less (i dont listen to a lot of music), and at the time they didn't have a wide variety of colors for the regular but i think they do now.

and it does have a backlight. maybe i'll get a regular ipod but if i can't fill it up, it's kinda pointless... but it has some more features so I'll probably end up getting it.

i wud reccomend the 6gb mini tho, it's great.
