screw apple pre-order, i just went to BB and picked one up and...

THE SCREEN SUCKS

god i thought all yall were just being whiny, but gee wiz, how can you watch video in this piece of crap?

all ya'll know i never whine about product, infact i usually am the one who trys to give reasonable explanations as to why stuff dosent work right, but this screen is just horrid, i really hope the pre-order one i got has a better screen, im going to check it then sell one or both of them on ebay, and just stick with my g1 nano until the screens get fixed

otherwise its a pretty nifty device, but the sound sounds WONDERFUL

the WIFI is great, the pictures look really nice, but watching over the hedge, wow i cant tell whats going on in any of the dark screens, not with the brightness high, medium, low or whatever

i may just keep one though, i dont know how much i would really watch video on it anyway...
 
why don't you just return it?

well, i guess i could do that too, hopefully ill get the second one before the 14 day return is up, or is it 30 days on defects?

p.s. i dont have a camera here, ill take some when i get home, i got a sony cybershot H5 i can use

Sorry for the off topic post but where did you get over the hedge. I actually like that movie and I would love to watch it once I get my ipod touch.
 
It has to be a defect. There's no way that Apple would let that be the end product! Someone please post some pics of an iPod touch that has a good screen to compare.
 
well you have to wait until they work out the kinks. its not going to be a perfect product as soon as it comes out. we all know the original iPod wasn't perfect at inception.
