Ahoy!

I was thinking of getting a Ipod Touch for christmas but I can't decide which one to get.

I was originally and my stil be going to get a 8GB one because its the cheapest, And my family have already gotten me lots of stuff, Or so they say. So I have a original limit of £100 although I can try persuade a bit more.

So anyway, Is it better to get a 8GB or 32GB. Because Im not sure whether eventually Im going to put movies, lots of apps e.t.c.
When I search the question people say 32GB would be better but its quite a bit more expensive. They say 32GB runs faster, has Voice Control (Which I like the look of) and more space. However the 8GB is around £130-50 retail, but you can get it abroad for around £110-130. And you can get the 32GB retail for about £190-230. But from abroad I could find one for £165-180.

I just want to know whether I should pay the extra £50-60 for more space, Voice Control and Mic/remote-headphones?

Well 8 GB can't hold much movies, i think you'd be better of getting the 32GB.
Or can you expand the memory in time?

I'm pretty sure the voice control is for the iPhone...

Nope, For the new 32GB and 64GB Ipod Touch 3rd Generation

I would choose the 32GB. The 8GB still runs the old hardware and so you says is slower. Also all those apps are going to take up space!

Ill get the 32GB. But can you order from Amazon.com, buy it at the price of £167 and get it shipped to England without having to have to pay the Amazon.co.uk Price? Because from the US you can get the 32GB for £167 and over here its £205. Huge increase in price, For nothing.

So can you order from .com and get it the low price to the UK?

having owned an 8gig ipod touch and selliong it to get the new 32gig i[pd touch, let me just say, get the 32gig. You will eventually put movies on it and you'll thank yourself later, plus it's faster, and the new software helps with that.

For the extra money you'll be much happier with your purchase.

If you have the money I say go for the 32GB.

But what I really need to know is can I buy from Amazon.com for the cheap price, and still get it shipped to the UK without having to be re-directed to Amazon.co.uk and have to pay the expensive amount?

That I'm not sure about, but my logical guess says no, since you are in the UK.

You might have to pay a ridiculous amount for customs and such, so I don't know... If you are willing to, take the risk. Even if you do, and there are customs, the price would probably end up being the same as buying one from UK.

Well I spoke to a seller on Ebay selling cheap ones. He has a registered company that got Bankrupt stock stuff. Nothing dodgy though.

But he has a UK department, So they will be getting the 32GB 3rd Gen in next week, for £180. So hopefully I can get it.

Hey Joey :)

I can't help but wonder why would you need an Ipod these days anyway? I used to own one myself - in fact, not an Ipod, I bought a Creative Zen Touch since the sound was notably better on that. It was 20GB and was chock full of songs throughout the 2 years during which I owned/played it. I loved it to bits, but I sold it since I no longer listened to it (that, and I was broke). But that was back in 2005...

Mobile phones have come a long way since then and now I'm using a pocketpc with an 8gig microsd card which holds all my music. Add to that a pair of Bluetooth headphones (both Dell and LG sell great BT headphones) and you've got all you could ever need, instead of having to carry around a bagful of devices. The Touch tries to combine anything under one roof anyway, so why not go that extra mile and buy a phone that does all that as well Just my 2 cents...
