4. Required Testing When Purchasing:

a) Physically inspect the phone and its package
After you get your iPod, open the box and check whether everything that should be inside is inside.

b) Make sure it is a new unit
If you are paying for a new unit, you can get a rough idea whether if it really is new or not. For ipod touch, there should be a piece of sticker on the screen. And also look at the back of the ipod for scratches. 1 or 2 scratches is normal, but not too many.

c) Test your iPod
Give your new ipod a test. Make sure all the buttons are working and check whether the earphone is working. Give a test on all features.

d)Warranty
If found any problem with your iPod, go to an Apple Reseller store and claim warranty. Apple offers International Warranty. To check if your iPod is under warranty, use the link below to check your warranty information and repair options for your product/location.

*for those who have jailbroken your iPod Touch, warranty will be void. Do an Erase All Content and Settings and restore to the default settings before sending back for warranty.

e)Locating iPod Serial Number

Here's a list of tips, tricks and hints to get the most out of your Lithium-ion iPod Touch or iPhone battery.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Safety note: If your battery ever becomes too hot to touch while charging then remove from charge immediately and leave to cool [note that it is normal for the device to get warm while charging but it should never be too hot to touch]. If this happens on a regular basis you may need to speak to Apple and possibly return your device and/or USB cable as one or the other may be faulty. Also be aware that cheap USB charging cables and wall adapters should be avoided. It's worth the expense of buying brand names.

Hello all.
Just wanna ask. Not sure if this is the right thread.
Is it possible for an ipod owner to not know his ipod's model number, much less he don't even know where its located?

I was searching for a 2nd-hand 1st gen nano (lost mine, darn! cry.gif ), when a guy came and offer his 3rd gen nano for only RM150!
That was too good to be true, but then he mentioned that the usb cable is missing, that was why he was selling it cheap.
Quite rational, I think. And I could always use my old cable.
But when I ask for his ipod's model number, surprise me, he don't know anything about it!
He even asked me how and where to find it. I was like shakehead.gif

I think, as ignorant as some people could get, they'd AT LEAST know bout that part. I mean, if you don't, how on earth did you registered for it's warranty?
Or some shop registered the warranty for the buyer?
In my case, the salesperson only explain to me how to register and all that. I did the registering myself.

So, it's possible right that the seller is like, trying to con people?

Just asking tho. Plus the fact with the missing usb cable, it's too suspicious.

iPod Touch 2G has a curvy back, has the volume rocker, and it has speakers. Apps run a little faster on iPod Touch 2G if compared to the 1G model. Check YouTube for good comparison videos on it. smile.gif

Yes, everything is pretty much the same except it doesn't have the phone functionality (duh.. tongue.gif ), GPS, camera. bryanyeo said that the speakers on the iPhone is much louder. smile.gif

Other than that, it's the same really. Only some games require the microphone function which is only present on the iPhone, but it's not a problem, as they're very few games that need that. smile.gif

No, the iPod Touch doesn't have the gps functionality. You still get the "Maps" application though, wholich you can use to show you directions of a certain place really neatly.

It depends really on what you really need. I aimed for the iPhone, but my mum got me a SE phone, so i was like, why would i need an iPhone? Also, it's really pricey if compared to the iPod Touch. If you really are in need of the phone and the text messaging functionalities, then you ought to get an iPhone. If you just need a music + entertainment device, then you should definitely go for the iPod Touch. Price? Look at the post made by siaulang above smile.gif
