    yeah, seen those reviews too, mostly from the time of it's launch in 2008/2009, I also read where firmware upgrades have sorted out bugs.

    I had one about 2 years ago, my advice is keep your £69 quid.

    That description would have been written in 2008 when the model launched. :rolleyes:

    800x480 on a 4.8" screen was certainly 'high resolution' at the time (iPod touch that year was 480x320).

    Yeah I'd leave this one tbh. Had a go of one ages ago, and there really was nothing good to say about it. Maybe if it was 20 quid then yeah, it'd be good. But not at £70.

    I know yeah, just mental looking back and thinking that that was high res!

    I have the same resolution on my 4.3" android and I'm starting to get very jealous of the 4.7ish" HD screens around these days!:P
