Got the black 2GB one from best buy after work today.
$199
I'm using it with my Shure E2C earbuds, never understood the people who pay $200-300 on a music player to use the cheap $1 earbuds that come with the player. Dumbasses.
I returned the mobiBLU because the volume up button broke. I have to press it really hard in order for it to work.
Only played around with the ipod for less than an hour now.. but here are my impressions..
What I like...
Big color screen, the menu is great
Slides in and out of my pocket well. I found out that the change pocket on my jeans is the perfect little holder for it.
games on a music player??
ability to view pics
Ability to sort by artist, album, etc.. damn mobiblu didn't view the exif info, so I often had to wait for the slow scroll screen for a few seconds before I can see the song name.
Dislikes
Must install itunes in order for it to work
can't find out where to put my pics on it :x
the equalizer sucks, you can't adjust each individual frequency band, only presets
I don't like how the headphone port is on the bottom..
the click wheel is hard to use if your hands are sweaty
UPDATE I just took it out to the gym, and there are already a few scratches on it!! I'm not spending $30 on an ugly cover... that's absurd. Going back to best buy tommorrow.
UPDATE x2: Yes I returned it already, and I yes I got a full refund. The rep didn't even see the scratches, considering they are hairline scratches that happened when I used my jeans to clean it, and the fact that I still had the plastic wrapping for it.
And no, despite what all the name callers think, I don't care about the scratches. I care about the fact that it scratches so easily, yes more easily than other players.
It's like if you got a $60k luxury car, and the leather seats started to crack after a month. That's like the kind of leather you get with a $40 office max chair. I don't know about you, but I would return it if given the chance, and I think most other people would do the same too.
Yes, if the ipod screen got very scratched up(and it would from a month of normal use), it would detract from one of it's main features, to view pictures. I paid a lot more extra for this picture function. It'd be kinda useless when my pictures are covered with scratches.
These are just my views on this. This is why I returned it. You may disagree, I don't really care as this is my money, and my MP3 player. But most of you who do disagree, are misunderstanding why I am returning it.

I ended up buying a regular 20GB iPod (though they are in color now, which is cool) instead.
