I've had absolutely no problems with my Ipod nano, 2GB in black. Hand for about three months now. The music is very clear when played and the click wheel makes navigating through the different menus and to a selected song very easily.
Although one criticism is that the battery life is shite!

The sound quality in a nano is amazing! it can also hold photos and has the regular ipod games (Brick, Solitaire, Parachute, and music quiz). the one downside is that it gets scratched REALLY easily, so get a case for it as soon s you buy it.

I love mine. One problem I have is with turning it off, it seems to be picky on exactly where to press. Not a big nussance.
My friend has one and it froze and gave her an error message. She just had to reset it.
Overall it is a very nice mp3 player and I'd recommend it to anyone looking.

I have a 4GB black Nano. Its really amazing! The battery life is quite short, especially if you keep switching songs manually so the screen light up - Id say 4 hrs maybe battery time. Apparently, it's better if you charge it overnight, rather than till it says the battery is full. But it does charge quickly, and if you remember to charge it regularly, you won't have any problems.
It does scratch very easily, so buy a case straight away and use it all the time, but its no big as the cases are v good. I'm going to have to buy a full sized Ipod soon though, as I have run out of space on my Nano! Will use it to store my most listened to songs, though. I deff wouldn't get any other music player.
On other tip - buy some different headphones. Although the Apple ones are fine, everyone knows yo have an Ipode 'cos they are white. So less chance of oyu being mugged if you have 'normal' headphones on display!!

Mine has held up very well so far (4GB, black of course! ).
Even though I've never put it into any protective cover and constantly carry it in my pocket, it has developed only the usual tiny scratches on the surface. If you want to avoid even that, get a cover (and never put keys or change in the same pocket, of course!).
Expect playing time to be reduced if you:
a) Frequently activate the display backlight (I've turned mine completely off, except for special situations).
b) Use music with higher bitrates (better quality), including lossless encoding.
Very practical is the capability to display pictures, calendars, personal notes and contacts. At least under MacOS X, this data is synchonized automatically.

i have a 4gb nano in black and i love it. good quality and great sorting system. what i would recommend is to get a casing for it though to prevent scratches.

Quoting AirbusA346 (Reply 8): Can you please show me what the cases look like and how much they are
If you do an internet shopping search, it'll show you a fair bunch. mince is basically black plastic with clear bits for the screen and wheel. it has a velcro part at the bottom to take the Ipod out, and a belt clip at the back. It makes the Ipod slightly bulkier, but its so tiny anyway, the difference is really negligible. I couldn't find a cover in the Apple store other than those stupid sock things, so I got a cover over the internet. Wasn't too expensive IIRC.

I am planning on buying a iPod Nano wednesday, although I hear you can't delete songs off of them, is that true and is there any way to get the space back? Maybe I should go for the 4 GB instead of the 2GB...

Quoting FutureUApilot (Reply 13): although I hear you can't delete songs off of them
If you delete the song off your itunes, then the next time you update your Ipod, it will delete the song from it. If you just want it off your ipod, but not your itunes, create a playlist of the songs you want on your ipod and set itunes to update your ipod only from that playlist. Then, you can delete/add songs from that playlist without messing around with your main itunes library.

No, that's not true. You can of course delete songs if you've selected manual synchronization in iTunes. That's the way I do it right now: I delete the most recently played titles from the iPod manually and then I fill it up manually, usually with a shuffled playlist (iTunes will automatically copy as much as the iPod's capacity allows and stops there).
Quoting FutureUApilot (Reply 13): Maybe I should go for the 4 GB instead of the 2GB..
Depends on the size of your music library and your listening habits. Since the iPod also doubles as an USB storage device it gives you more flexibility if you've got the bigger one.
But maybe the smaller one is sufficient for you. As I said: It depends.

Just like its big brother, the big problem with the Nano is how easy it scratches. My iPod Video is less than a month old yet I have loads of small scratches (which is typical even with the most careful people) as well as two nasty ones... bevery careful with it. I can't get a case because they are completley sold out here in Doha

I have no idea what people are doing to their iPods - unless you carry it together with hard objects (such as keys or change) it will get only very tiny scratches, nothing serious. If you tend to forget about such things, get a protective case.

Even simpler: Select the iPod in iTunes (make sure synchronization is set to manual in iTunes). The contents of the iPod are displayed in the list. Now sort by "date last played", for instance, select the most recently played titles and press delete. Finished.

Quoting LSPA (Reply 18): capacity is around 900 songs
I use a relatively high quality setting for my music (and many titles are losslessly compressed), so capacity is down to about 600. Still quite sufficient for now.

Have the nano 1GB in white. No complaints as yet, had it for about 2.5 months. It works, the music sounds great, I don't have a problem with battery I get more than 4 hours on mine for sure. Maybe it is becuase I am not always changing the songs but let my playlist do the work. Only problem is that 1GB wasn't really enough for me but I will hang on to it still.

Quoting AirbusA346 (Reply 22): Also can you buy spare batteries for them, or is it not possible.
There is no way to change the batteries yourself, no. I have no idea where they get the 15 hr figure from, but I guess that means no back light, and v low volume. Actual play time, real world, is more like 4-5 hrs. Which still isn't bad, considering it charges back up pretty quick, and if you buy a mains adaptor, you don't need to use a computer.
Quoting AirbusA346 (Reply 23): Also what comes with the iPod Nano in the box.
Earphones, computer cable and instruction manual. I think that's all. The basics, pretty much. Anything more, you have to buy. And Apple accessories seem pretty expensive generally. Guess its where they get a lot of their profits from....
