Reccomend me an I-pod please?

**ms sweetcheeks** · 27-04-2008, 10:13pm

I used to have an Ipod shuffle but it wasn't really enough for me, ie. didn't have any functions apart from play, pause and volume (which was so low, even at highest)..

I want to use it lots, at the gym, on my way to work and so on, and I want a nice one, that is not known for breaking easily..

I had a brand new Nano when they came out but sold it, as I heard the screens were breaking.

I want it as cheap as poss- would ebay be my best bet???

Help please

Double check the descriptions if you buy from Ebay, they have this weird thing where its an ipod but not an ipod.
We've got a nano (the older style one) and I use a shuffle (the new style one) for the gym. I love how dinky the shuffle is and the element of surprise.

I have a nano i had to buy another one the other day as i had lost my one

I looked at the shuffle the smaller one but thought id keep with what i know

I like the idea of the ones with the videos etc but as i only use it for the gym & in the car i didnt bother...

I have had mine 2 years & never had any problems with it

Not an i-pod so I don't know if you'll be interested but I've got a creative zen and it's ace, really hardy (dread to think how many times I've dropped it now

) and the battery is rechargeable and lasts for ages.

So a nano?
How much did you pay, and do they do different types of ipod nanos?

I bought a nano from Currys recently and I think mine was £99 in the sale. It is the 4gb one. I have had no problems with it and have managed to get my head around Itunes.

Dont limit your options to an 'ipod' - Apple weren't the first people to make mp3 players and they arent the best either they just have the most aggressive marketing/existing fanbase. There are lots of better options out there; I havent used them for a few years, but these guys were really helpful:

I would say a nano as there really small and light, although I LOVE my ipod- its the classic one which is 80gig but holds loads and the sound is fantastic on it- think its about £140?

Thanks, I have had several non apple mp3 players, including Sony, Samsung and one other I forget the name of.
I just prefer the ipod concept to be honest
