So I just about found a way to hate my new iPod on 35 different levels. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I’m not grateful to have one (and a new one at that). It’s just that it’s turning out to be a disappointment. Reasons why: 1)It’s not an iPhone 2)It’s fragile 3)The keyboard sucks 4)It shuts down on me all the time. Now, I know that the people who read this (or lack thereof) will probably (want to) scream in my face: “Are you stupid? Of course it’s not an iPhone, it’s an iPod.” Yes, but it’s an iPod touch. You see, when I went to Best Buy to replace my old nano (which was a waste of money, since I only used it three or four times a year, and I had it for two years), the salesman told me that the internet worked exactly the same way as the iPhone. I was like, aright, cool, I’ll get it, because I don’t need a new phone, but I my warrantee lets me get a new iPod. So I paid 50 bucks, and got a new iPod that apparently had internet capacity. But here’s the thing: You can’t get WiFi everywhere you go. Yeah, I know that you can only get it wherever there are Wireless Networks, but I figured I could just pick up signal and go. I got the signal in some places, but then I had to put in a password, or (in the case of my school) I had to deal with a stupid block in the server. Meaning, I couldn’t get to my e-mail or chat or whatnot. Disappointment? I think so. I would’ve paid a hundred bucks more ($150 total, plus $60 warrantee) and gotten the iPhone, just to get unrestricted Internet access everywhere. So, at the moment, me = pissed. Other problems: Second week I’ve had it, and the screen (made of glass) has alreadya scratch and case (polycarbonate) is already scratched like hell. That’s just great. JUST great. Don’t buy at Best Buy.
