Happy to help. Not every "problem" needs to be of the "freedom of the world hangs in the balance" type of issue. But I have one question...

What color did you order?! :eek:

No problem :)

I too am curious what color you ordered :confused:

In my opinion, the blue looks cheap - like a crappy Lumia or something.

I'm not a fan of any of the colors on metal. They remind me of the awful computer cases in the late 90s, which sprouted a rainbow after the dreadful plastic iMac came out. The iPhone 5c is the most attractive of any iDevice in color IMO. The plastic looks good, and it also feels better in the hand than the regular iPhones 5.

That dreadful first iMac you speak of was pretty revolutionary for its time. It definitely broke the mold that desktop computers had to be drab, boring boxes.

You know what that's it. :mad::mad: I'm not going to be shackled down anymore and this cloud floating over my head. I'm just going to apple right now and picking a color and getting it thats it!!!!! I won't let these colors hold me back anymore. There's more in the world than what color your iPod is. :mad:

What color did you end up getting? I personally like blue the best.
 
I don't usually like the gold/silver devices with the white front, but I really like the gold iPod Touch over the blue. I'd say gold.
 
I have the blue one and the color is not a priority for me, it makes excelent pics and vids like the iPhone, that's what counts for me :)
 
Blue is gonna catch your attention everytime you look at but if i can choose i want gold back/black front.
 
Stopped by the local Costco. They have the 32GB Blue 6th Gen Touch for $229. (and 16GB Space Gray for $199).

Now I'm debating between the Blue for $229 or Space Gray for $249 (at BestBuy).
update: Went for the Blue @ $229. Beautiful!

How are you adjusting to the white bezel?

I still much prefer the black bezel, but I'm getting accustomed to the white. The last time I had an iOS device with a white bezel was when I upgraded my iPad 1 to a white 2.

The downside of the white bezel continues to be the visual distraction. The active edge of the screen does not butt up against the bezel. There's a very slight black border around the screen (a few pixels wide) then the white bezel. With a black bezel that gap is unnoticeable and makes for a more visually consistent appearance.

This effect is magnified with bright/light colored content on the screen... it magnifies the border. All that to say, I may never "love" it but it's growing on me.

I noticed that when I first viewed a white iPhone 4S. Up until then, I didn't even realize that was there (I had a black iPod Touch 4g at the time).
