yayy!! I got my new iPod!!! haha.. thank you daddy and mummy~!!!! it's actually my really belated birthday present!!! n i think it's the most expensive one(at least i can't think of any.. =p) other than my oboe~!!!

anyway, i really love the sound quality and the resolution of the screen~! it's clear!! and the control wheel!! one word say it all - GREAT!

i didn't really consider Creative Zen in the end coz i think it's not as good.. i actually read some comments on this blog www.xiaxue.blogspot.com it may be true but she didn't look into the other things.

first of all, Creative don't have international warranty which i'm looking for coz u'll have a tough time looking for spare parts if you are overseas. the sound quality of Creative doesn't sound as good too! well, it'll be okay for ppl who listen to pop but i want it to play classical music like piano concertos~!! haha.. i feel like promoting apple's product! hey, but i think its quite true.. don't really agree with what xia xue said!

the wma format isn't a problem to me coz iTunes can convert wma to AAC in just a few seconds. n my iPod can receive FM radio too!! haha.. i used the rm114 rebate to buy the radio remote! which is not only a small remote but i can tune to FM radio stations as well..

didn't get the in-ear earphones yheushen suggested though! i think they are really god provided they can fit your ears... not for mine~! so sad.. =p but i'm just affraid they'll hurt my alr "spoilt" ears! i just need to forget about it! anyway, what i have now is good enough!

thank you so much for everyone who gave me comments and advice~! haha.. thanks loads!! =)
