These are nice. Drop it once and your gonna have to get a new one though.

Not really Janie, these are so light weight, if you drop it, it won’t do much damage. The harddrive iPods are much heavier, resulting in much more damagae in a drop.

I got this Nano almost a year ago (Christmas 2007) and within 2 months had a software issue that I managed to sort out on my own. I have dropped it, sat on it, and thrown it and it still works 11 months later.

Does good for connecting to my in car stereo. Has not had any issues at all and works fine. Actually handling it for scrolling through songs is fine but you cant help thinking and more so – should I say realising that this nano is tiny and sometimes therefore clumbersome in its own right when trying to grip it – which I do a run and can be good yet pretty bad at trying to use the scroll wheel when in a quick glance motion such as sports. Battery is a bit on the poor side and videos – unless you want glasses then dont go there only for short clips. But playback is second to none and its pretty quick on the off mark.

I love it!!!!!!! It is the best iPod ever!

I have a light blue 8 gb. iPod Nano. It is awesome! I got it for my birthday right on time!

I got this iPod refurbished a few weeks ago (christmas 08) and it’s been working fine for me. i just wish they came in 16 gb.
Dan on January 13th, 2009 at 10:35 pm says:

I really like the cover flow.
Gregg on January 16th, 2009 at 2:02 am says:

I just got one of these refurbished for my birthday, and i love it. Cover flow is quick, easy and just plain cool!!!! The new split-screen Interface is a great visual improvement, and video is awesome. The new interface reminds me of Mac OS X Leopard slick look and feel. What does anybody else think?
Monicaca on February 11th, 2009 at 8:21 am says:

i totally dig this ipod it hold plenty enough songs for me i’ve dropped it a ton of times, it fits in the smallest pockets, it’s light and i think it’s cute. but i’m curious to know if i can switch back and forth between a mac and pc uploading songs, i’m not worried about losing what songs i have on there just if it will mess it up…. i’m kinda drunk maybe i’ll just give it a shot… whats a hundred and fifty bucks?… oh like a half a weeks pay thats right…. so does anyone know if i can do that?

this ipod is fo sqawres
Paige on February 23rd, 2009 at 11:51 pm says:

This is my favorite nano, and I wish the 4th generation kept the shape. I love how these are the square shape! It super cool. It also introduced cover flow, which is a plus. The screen is big, perfect for videos. And 8GB is all you need! I have a 4th 8GB.
Cheyenne Quirolo on March 10th, 2009 at 12:56 pm says:

I’ve had this iPod since it first came out, i’ve droped it alot, sat on it, thrown it, my dogs even bitten it and it works like its new. I’m saying its the best iPod because in my opinion the iPod touch is. But if you just want a simpler iPod consinder this one
Dee on March 20th, 2009 at 6:54 pm says:

This ipod was my bestfriend. haha, but honestly, I hated the fact that suddenly somehow, it works, it’s just I think it might’ve been the jack..well, that’s what my brother told me. Any ideas?
daniel on March 23rd, 2009 at 2:37 am says:

Dee, read what u just wrote out laud to urself a few times and ask urself if it makes any sense.
Frodo on April 6th, 2009 at 4:22 pm says:

Touch is better, but this is good if you just want music.
judith on May 6th, 2009 at 12:51 pm says:

Liked it at 1st… dropped it once, and it was a piece of shiz!!! The screen screwed up w/in the 1st month!! However! if u only use it for music get 1… as far as picz, an videoz i wouldn’t recommend it. I drop it once in the bathtub and it still plays fine. “Itz alright”, but i jus wish i coulda chose sumthin else…..

Paige on March 12th, 2010 at 7:57 pm says:

I recently just got this iPod! I got a silver 4GB. I just got rid of my pink one of these because it froze and never turned on again. (it goes with my collection of a 4Gen Nano 8GB, 5Gen Nano 16GB, 2Gen 4GB Nano, 2Gen 1GB Shuffle.) I switch iPod’s for where ever I’m going, how far it is, and what battery is the longest. I recently even had Two musical festival, both approximately 2 hours away. I took my 4th gen nano for the first trip, but it died fast so the 2nd trip i took my 5th Gen. 16GB nano. All I need now is a classic for all trips! (:

My wife just got back from Iraq with hers. Pulled it out of the Speck case, cleaned the sand and grime off, put it back in the case. Still running after three years and two TDY’s. Numerous drops (get the Speck case) ans runs like a champ.

Orlando Pajon on April 14th, 2010 at 4:35 pm says:

I love sticking the iphone up my ass and putting it on vibrate try it!
if you bleed a little its ok, after the first couple of times the pain goes away and feels better!
TRY MY NEW APP!! its called VIBRATE SENSATION look for it on the app store!

Great ipod. My daughter was jealous when I got my newer generation ipod from Dad. Just started using it after 2 years, got a case and good to go! Too busy living to mess with the ipod. After reading the comments (appreciate these), I would recommend buying the best you can afford and save your money for house, car, retirement. Then let your parents buy you an iphone, that’s what my daughter has now.
