Out with the old, In with the new

[rye9]

I am very likely to buy a new iPod within a month. I currently have a 2G iPod mini... which I have like a relationship with, yea im a loser. Anyways, I wanna get a new iPod bc my mini's battery is between 2-3 hours, it has trouble adjusting volume, and is just dying in general ...but it looks great on the outside (that's probably why I like it so much. lol) and I feel bad bc I spent $200 just to last about a year and a couple months. I was wondering whether to keep my mini or not, so that's obviously what the poll if for.

I usually sell mine. Although I did keep my nano when I got a 5G. I found I dont use it, I should really sell it. No use in just having it sit around.

Yeah I agree, but that's my problem.. I can't get rid of things easily... heck, I still have my N64, even though I have a gamecube, and am getting the Wii. I need help.

Replace the battery
I have a 1g mini still going strong, battery life is about 6 hours now.

although, the nanos are pretty decent and start at $150...

I kept my Nano when I bought my 5G as well and...

...I still use the Nano the most. The 5G is just used for videos in my case.

My first was a hand-me-down to my wife.

I use old ones as back up drives normally. Also if I need to transfer a large amount of data.

I give mine to those who do not have a iPod.

The posts don't seem to line up with the poll. But, maybe they just squeezed in to the nearest category. I have my 3G that acts as a back up. On occasion, it also serves as a focus tool. Since there is no video to watch, if I need to get some reading done on the way to/from work, I'll take it instead of the 5G which tempts me with Serenity and the Incredibles...

I usually keep mine for a couple months because I never want to bring the new one with me to school. I usually try and sell it though before it depreciates in value too much.

Hmmm... my 27 month old mini is still going strong... and I'm probably going to use it until something breaks and unless there opens up a marked for broken iPods in Norway (or within reasonable shipping distance) then I guess I'll just trash it and get a new one, when the time comes... hopefully not for a long time, still, since I don't like any of the current iPods half as good as the minis...

 

[student_trap]

i keep them all! in fact, i buy my friends old ipods... i just love the things. At the moment i have my 4G 20gig colour (the workhorse), and then two 20gig 3G's, a shuffle 512, and will soon be getting a mini!

I still have my Nes, Mega-Drive I and II, Playstation, Playstation2 and Gamecube. Some things you should never sell!

Don't sell!

Rich.

Yeah, I kinda regret not buying a mini. I mean, they weren't anything special technically speaking, but they really look very cool.

I wouldn't say things like that, i did it on this very forum about my 3G 15GB and not three weeks later the hard drive died, i hope you were literally draped in wood

I'm still on my first iPod (2 years now) and it's going fine. I'm sure it will never die. Oh damn!

 

[Boggle]

My iPod is now for listening to music @ home through my stereo & the Nano is for the gym & running. Yeah, sure running, and the gym. un-huh. Yep. Sure is.

The iPod Minis are indeed very cool looking. In a way I miss mine- I gave it to my little sister after I got my 60GB iPod 5G for free.
