Has everyone been given different models as replacements? I got one of those tiny ipod shuffles with the clip as the replacement which pissed me off! We were going to give the replacement to my Grandma to listen to audio books on but an ipod without a screen won't work for that :/


Are you sure that you have not got the newest ipod nano with the touch screen. It is about the same size as the shuffle!

Does it look like this :

If so that's a 6th generation nano, which is what I received as a replacement.

Seems strange that you got that one when the rest of us got the nano.

I know I'm gutted :/ i just got a job at the Apple Store though so might see if i can trade it in or sort something out. Or at least find out why I got that model.

Why not phone them and ask? I had to call when mine got lost in the post and they were very helpful.

Wow, you did well out of this! just sorting mine out! hope I am as lucky.
I sent my 1st gen off, and on the repair status, it says the replacement has been dispatched and delivered. But I haven't received it! After further inspection, it's apparently been sent back to the depot in Tamworth! So, does anyone have a phone number for them or should I just go to an Apple store to get them to resend it?

Same :smile: Did rather well out of it.

Gave it to my dad as part of his bday present because I knew his mp3 had broken and I already have a touch.
Bought one off ebay and used apples online replacement programme, the seller has just re listed some more in stock http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180975120785&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT#ht_773wt_932 if anyone wants a ipod nano 6 or maybe the 7 gen then make sure you get a first gen replaced.
I sent mine back and got a 6th gen nano in exchange (?) it's the tiny touchscreen nano.

I miss the click wheel :colonhash: but the radio and other new features are good
