I have an 8g and love it. BTW, nobody can tell you this at the apple store (they are horribly trained with the itouch IMO), but when you sync it with itunes, there is an update (I think it is 1.2. something) and it will fix the calendar thing. Now, you can add events right to the itouch itself. This was a big concern for me but I bought it regardless, thinking they'd add a patch online. It is already online - the apple people have no clue, both in store and over the phone. So, it is totally fixed..just need to update.
