So I got mine today after returning my 1-wk-old 3G (I love the phrase 'remorse period'). Only a couple annoying surprises: One, apparently the price drop was achieved in part by no longer including a headphone remote or carrying case, even on the 40GB version. Not a huge deal, and I suppose understandable given the razor-thin nature of the margin on these things...but the $30 or whatever it is price of the headphone remote is a tad annoying. I'd rather have gotten the remote and not the headphones; I prefer Koss's The Plug.
Still, NO MORE FOUR BUTTONS...ah, the clickywheel ecstasy that is mine...heehee.
