This is a very sexy machine! I sold my 80gig white ipod the other day and am about to get a black 80gig classic. I'm proper gutted that I don't get a velvet-sock type thing with it though, that thing was amazingly handy. Looks like i will have to get the wifey to make me something soft and protective. Also, i'm dubious as to how front scratch protectors will look on these new metal fronts, they'll stand out more.
Thanks for the pics though, really appreciate seeing it. The photos on Apples website really do it no justice at all!

Having been incredibly indecisive since the new iPods were announced I finally decided to go for a 80GB Classic in Silver. I went for the classic over the touch simply because of capacity (I have about 30GB of music and videos which whilst not massive is too big to carry round at once on the touch) and chose the 80GB because I preferred the slightly thinner case.
I didn't really choose it for aesthetics but I have to say it is absolutely gorgeous - the silver with white wheel is an almost exact match for my new slimline keyboard and the slightly rounded edges and rock solid construction gives it a real air of quality (right down to the slight indentation in the middle of the touch wheel so you can operate it easier without looking). Even the box oozes quality and luxury. The screen is bright and clear and the new option to zoom vids into 4:3 ratio (at the expense of the side bits) is a great feature. The new interface is also fantastic (with the exception of the previously mentioned coverflow annoyance of splitting up compilation albums by artist!).
In short, the classic is just that - a true classic amongst iPods and if you're thinking of getting one, don't hesitate: you won't regret it

Excellent pics. I love digital photography!
Anyway, I purchased a black 160 classic yesterday to replace my OH, SO OLD 5G 60GB. I really like at least having the ability to now search through content, especially since I'll be filling up this new one with my whole music collection.
