Guess What Sucks Now: The iPod Classic

I recently got an 80GB iPod Classic to have a second backup of all my music, and be able to listen to stuff on the go. Bad choice.

Seems like all the new classics that came out after the touch was released are a little quirky... and not in a cool way either. The wheel is very insensitive and there's no way to really fix that. Especially when you have 80/80GB filled like on mine, sometimes I spend ridiculously long trying to get from one end of a list to the other because the wheel keeps screwing up and the iPod never goes into that fast scrolling mode. Also, some of the screens take a while to load sometimes and a few times it even just froze on the main screen and I had to reset it. All in all, definitely not terrible, but if you have other options then they're probably much better.
