My first ipod was one of the first generation ones and I never thought I’d be as happy with anything else. Several of my friends and family have various generations of the nanos and they weren’t what I was looking for. When my original ipod died I needed a replacement so I bought the classic for its large storage capacity and larger screen. I should have bought it long ago.
The storage capacity alone is worth the price….which not comparably much more than the nano for the extra 75-160 odd GB you get. Last I checked I have 23 solid days worth of music on it and its not even half...
