Every build starts at $149.99. From there you only pay for what you actually change.
The 30GB original drive is the starting point. Step up to 60GB or 80GB, or switch to flash memory at 128GB — with the option of a much larger 2000mAh battery.
Keep the original shell at no extra cost, or fit a brand new front and back. A new front and back is $29. A full new exterior with the click wheel and buttons is $49.
Each color is a front-and-back pairing we already build. Nothing costs extra inside a tier — the swatches change with the housing you picked.
The one that feels best in the hand. Microdrive gone, flash memory in.
More storage, thinner body, metal front. Cover Flow and the split-screen menus.
