I don't really care about cold water or not, but do like the non-insulated Camelbak Podium bottles.

My own DH is the same way.
Me...I take my insulated Polar bottle and put it - half-filled - in the freezer the night before a ride. I also half-fill a regular bottle. The next morning, I top them off with cold drink. I use the regular bottle first, and usually by the time I get to the Polar, halfway through my ride, it's still reasonably cool.
I really like cool drinks on a hot day.
I'm surprised that the Camelbak insulated out-lasted the Polar. I'd be inclined to go with that Camelbak IF it came in 24 oz size. I would REALLY miss that extra 3 ounces of drink.
