I'm a new iPod mini owner :)

And I thought maybe I would join this forum...

I got the iPod mini for free, it was a offer from my ISP. (Un)fortunately they only had pink available, but I took it anyway.

I'm male and straight if you're wondering

I wonder how others would think if I walked down the street holding a pink mini in my hand?

BTW my click wheel seems a little loose (a little shaky when there's too much friction), is that normal?

Congrats on your free iPod. I will be getting my mini on x-mas eve.

Regarding the click wheel take it into an Apple Store and have the geniuses look at it. They'll tell you if it needs fixing.

Yeah, I might go down but I'm a bit lazy. I don't live in the U.S and I don't think there's an Apple Store nearby (or maybe not even in Singapore).

I guess pink is unique

Seems to be related to the fact that the buttons on the click wheel are mechanical... Is it normal for it to wobble abit when u use force on the wheel?

You got it off Singtel? I thought they only had the Gold ones? We don't have Apple stores in Singapore but there are Applecenters without genius bars. There are 3 Apple authorized repair centers in Singapore. You can call Apple (http://www.apple.com.sg) and they'll direct you to the ones who can help 'ya!

They have all five colours. I collected mine at Sim Lim Square. On 19/12 all colours were available, one day later only pink's left.

I don't think I'll be going down as it's only a minor problem... I don't think they'll replace mine just for that.

I have to wait till the 31st

The problem is not obvious... IIRC during SITEX 2004 the iPod minis had this problem as well... perhaps its meant to be like this?

I was wondering, where the hell is the warranty card for the iPod mini? The only proof of purchase I could find is the receipt..

Registering it could work, and I think the bar codes are iPod speciffic.
