View Full Version : getting mine saturday!
So i got fedup/nervous waiting around for Amazon to even list a release date on their site. So i canceled my order and started calling around. No one locally (New Orleans) has it, and even CompUSA said they wont have them for the Friday launch.
So I started calling catalog stores, and most said next week, but J&R said they had it in stock! It's shipping out tomorrow (friday) and getting here Saturday delivery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And an arm band!!!!!!! I'll be able to go for a run with my new ipod mini saturday evening!!! wooo!!!! so excited!@#$#&%!@#
that's all :)

Congrats. I'm doing all I can to save up for a mini. Not sure if I'm gonna sell my 10GB Gen3 or not; it makes a good backup device.
Just out of curiosity, what color are you getting?

Lucky! I Ordered just the regular 15gb last friday (I choose the 5-7 day shipping *Huge mistake*) as I now sit here wondering when it'll arrive. I"m tracking it on Fedex.com and it was last updated the 14th! so this is really nevere racking! why couldn't I have check 1-2 day shipping....Congrads on the mini
Silver... i know i know, real original right? I think Green is the coolest, but I haven't seen them in person so I'd hate to get burnt on a color that looks different in person.
Plus the silver matches my computers (Powerbook and G5) and the stereo in my car that I will connect it to from time to time is brushed metal so it'll match as well. Plus, silver is the only one they had in stock.

I just got my iPod mini this afternoon. It's silver and you wont believe how small it is till you actually hold it. It's amazing. I am transferring about 700 songs as we speak. Any questions about it, lemme know... in the mean time I'll be listening to music.
the only question i have is how Sennheiser MX500 earbuds sound on the mini, but i doubt many people have that combination right now

Well, I am just using the regular old apple headphones and it sounds amazing, so I am gonna go out on a limb here an say it probably sounds incredible.

Im also buying this Sat. after I watch Yugioh. :) I had experience with (3G) iPod before and the sound was a bit distorted. I hope apple fix this on their new iPod mini.

The Apple iPod earphones are made by Sennheiser I think.
If they are, it's probably their lower MX200 or MX300 line, blech
