I got my Colorware Edition 80 GB yesterday to replace my trusty 3G 40GB. Looks good! Only problem (and serious at that!) is the static/white noise compared to my 3G version. Really annoying! Does anybody else here have this problem? Simply pause both iPods, switch phone jacks and compare the noise levels on various volume settings.
Hopefully new firmware can correct this in the future?

It’s a cool idea, but i don’t really like the glossiness and, most of all the sparkley bits.

I think it is rather humorous that they offer black and white as colors...a bold side step from the original coloring.

THey offer Black and White because they paint things other than iPods that are not readily available in those colors.
