Picked up a nice week 38 16gig model in New York at the weekend, very nice indeed.

That's not what I've heard, or experienced myself (I've got a week 37). The jury is still out as to wether this is a hardware or simple firmware issue. I for one havent seen any contrast changes..
Apple told some people that it was a hardware issue off the record and this got reported back - you may have missed that one out!
Not all week 37 iPods are faulty and the firmware was definately put out to make the problem less obvious where the hardware was faulty.
There was a huge difference between my touch and iphone and it was obvious it was caused by the screen!

Does any one know when these will be available to pick up in highstreet stores?

I'd pre ordered a 16gb touch from a palce in Manchester near the triangle, and they should be getting their shipment of them in today for me to go and pick up which is good considering i only pre-ordered it on monday, so it's literally a couple of days lol.
Also it WASN'T an Apple store.

Anyone manage to get onto the UK apple store online? I can;t get anywhere near it, just get a blank page for the ipods.
I have a sure fire way to tell if you have a good screen or a bad one on ** ipod touch!
If your touch is good the grey menu bars (on the iPod function) will have a blue tinge. If they do NOT have that blue tinge then the screen is faulty.
So to repeat:
Blue tinged grey menu bar is good screen
Grey menu bar is faulty.
I just got my week 39 touch and it has a faulty screen again - seeing as its a bit hit and miss with getting it replaced I have decided to wait a while and get the screen replaced under warranty maybe after christmas!

If you go to http://appleservedup.com you will see some very useful tests for dead pixels and the negative black problem...
Below is a picture of my new week 39 touch (left) and my week 38 iPhone (right):
As you can clearly see the box is only SLIGHTLY lighter than the background on the touch BUT very light on the iPhone.
You can also just about see the blue tinge on the iPhone compared to the totally grey bar on the touch.
I have a feeling a few people who do this test may find problems with their ipods or iphones.
As I said I am going to hold off and get it serviced later on rather than play cat and mouse with Apple and hope that I get a good screen... however if anyone from Apple was reading this then I am sure you would agree this is NOT a good situation!

Ordered 16gb version on Oct 10. Current status is "Not yet shipped".
Estimated Shipping: 19 Oct, 2007 - 24 Oct, 2007
Estimated Delivery: 25 Oct, 2007 - 31 Oct, 2007
Are these estimations usually accurate?

They probably will be now.
A few people in the thread had issues with backdating etc but that was when the product was first out and as you can expect - demand and supply can sometimes clash.
I ordered a Nano a week or so ago (not a Touch admittedly, but keeping with the iPod theme) and it was bang on time as predicted.

They have touches in stock on that rainforest store so I might cancel my preorder with Apple (which is taking FOR-EVER) and go with them.

Don't they have any models in a store near you?
They had plenty in Cardiff a week or so ago.. not sure they'd be issue-free, but then, no one can guarantee the same if it comes from Apple I suppose.

This Ipod is prob the first I really like so hopefully I will be able to order one once payday arrives
