Well, every story has either a good or bad ending. For me, it all started bad and then it finished good. BAD: after trying to upgrade the firmware to 2.1, my iPod went flat-line. I tried just about anything I could to make come back. It would not repond anymore. Then I took it to where I bought it, so it could be repaired it. A week and a half passed, and they could not fix it themselves. GOOD: Today they called me and told me that I was going to get a replacement; so I went to the store and talked to the tech and told me that I could get another 30 Gig; or I could upgrade to a 40 (I would pay the difference). Since the only 30 Gig iPod left for me to take was an open-box one, I decided to take the 40 and pay the difference and price. BUT GUESS WHAT!? For my surprise the 40 Gig is at the same price as when I bought my 30, so I did not have to pay any dinero.
AND GUESS WHAT ELSE!? It has the blue light and not the gray.
But now my concern is whether I should try to upgrade to 2.1 or not.
I love my new iPod:D
