oakleyd2's Full Review: Apple iPod photo 4th Generation (20 GB) MP3 Player
I bought an Apple ipod 20GB U2 Edition about 15 months ago. I started to have problems where the ipod would freeze and would not be able to be turned off. I would have to wait until the charge ran out, then recharge it before i could get it to respond. Now it won't play any songs. So, i called the ipod service and they told me that it would cost $250 to repair it. Which is about the cost of a new apple 30gb ipod video. They also said i should have gotten an extended warranty, which by the way was never offered to me. So, after $300 for the ipod, and probably another $500 buying songs on itunes i have a very nice paper weight. My advice for anyone thinking about buying an ipod...stay away. The customer service is far from helpful...which by the way they tried to charge me $29.95 for tech support when i called to ask about the problems. And the only service option they have costs more than a new ipod.
