Mine was returned this morning. I got a shiny new 8GB latest generation Nano in return for sending in my old 2GB 1st gen model.
My replacement ipod arrived this morning.
Its a current model, New Ipod Nano 8GB
Just the unit itself with no cables or headphones.
Well i've just applied for a replacement for my original nano, which was gathering dust at home. Will keep people updated re what I get back from Apple....
I think they'll only replace the batteries.
who cares it would have to be one of the latest models and they arent going to replace it something worse
Does anyone know if it is a new replacement or a reconditioned one?
