Displaying reviews 101 - 151 of 151 (displayed in order of date):Reviewed by Sam on 02/04/2006 This ipod is amazing i really really love it i got it for christmas i always listen 2 it but the screen broke on it after a coup0le of months it still works but the screens messed up its ok but i think my screen breaing had somthing to do with the reviews about the screens breaking Rating:  Reviewed by Lizzy on 02/04/2006 I Love my Nano! I got it the first week it came out (I was desperate by the time I got to Dixons on Oxford St, as everywhere else had sold out!)and Im still thrilled to bits with it. I cant say any more that I love it. I was a bit annoyed about the lack of FM Radio, but I have the inline remote that doubles as an FM Tuner, and so kills two birds with the one stone. For all the people giving off about it not having huge memory.... Well, thats what a big iPod is for, and to be honest, my experience is that no matter how long you are stuck on the tube, you will not get through all 350 odd songs. So if you want a larger portable library, then its pretty obvious from the outset that the Mini is more suited to you. One nigly point... Scratches. Boy does it scratch! I left it a bit too late to get the clear silicone peel on covers, but they do they job to a degree. Just be careful with it, and invest in a good case (even the Tubes arent good enough, I have a pink one but it doesnt protect the screen.) The Nano Rocks! Rating: Reviewed by Matthew on 28/03/2006 The Ipod nano is very stylish and cool it has got a good colour screen and can av photos.The downside of this Ipod is that 2mb IS NOT ENOUGH MEMORY!!!! and the screen scratches easily but overall the ipod nano is very good that is why i gave it 4 stars Rating:  Reviewed by jim mcklaine on 27/03/2006 this is class, best mp3 i have eva used, perfect sound and display. mine is da 2gb (500 songs)but the only bad thing is dat the thing can get scratched so easy and it realy shows up on the black Rating: Reviewed by Joanne on 26/03/2006 I got the white 2gb iPod Nano about a week before Christmas after selling my iPod Mini. The nano is so small and cute! It scratches very easily but that won't be a problem if you buy a good case like I did. I have over 100 songs on my Nano and about 90 photos. Having colour on the Nano is really good. I love my Nano!!! Rating: Reviewed by Jonathan on 24/03/2006 I bought my Nano in November then in january the screen broke inside and now i have my replacement iPod ive had it a couple of month and even with the cases the cover is scratched. And the 2GB is supposed to hold 500 songs I have got 341 on mine and its full. so i think i am being generous with the two star rating. Rating: Reviewed by Martis from Lithuania on 24/03/2006 iRiver U10 beats down it.iPod is nice,but sound and functions aren't worth price which ya pay for. Rating: Reviewed by Teun from Netherlands on 24/03/2006 This iPod nano 1GB was a gift. Top design case, excellent sound, easy to operate. But a non-exchangeable battery is plain stupid. Worst is the NEED to install software (iTunes) to load it up, it's very annoying and especially for a Linux user about as usefull as a refrigerator on the North Pole. And compared to even the simplest mp3 players it is missing quite some options like a FM radio or (voice) recorder. I'm afraid it's more of a fashion/life style statement then a full featured personal music device. For the price (~160 Euro's) I'd never buy one. Rating: Reviewed by hannah on 23/03/2006 I LOVE YOU APPLE! I LOVE YOU APPLE! Rating: Reviewed by Michelle from USA on 22/03/2006 I really really love it despite the fact that it really bothers me that it claims to hold 500 songs and that is not true. If it had specified on the box "holds up to 500 songs depending on length of song" I would have been informed prior to buying it and bought a 4GB Ipod. Besides that it is a fantastic lil piece of technology..... Mine only downloaded 361 songs so it cut my playlist off about 1/3 which is disapointing...... The sound is really good, and its capablilities, convenience and very user friendly... Would have given it 5 stars if it weren't for that specification...... thats false advertising.... Rating: Reviewed by Rodden on 20/03/2006 This sexy piece of kit has become an essential item wherever I go. The sound quality is superb, memory is sufficient and the aesthetics are fantastic. The size and weight of the Nano make it the perfect portable device, and the fact that you get so many features in such a package makes the deal even sweeter. Rating: Reviewed by laura on 18/03/2006 this is a fantastic buy!! Not only is it cool and stylish, it can hold your photos aswell, it comes in black and white and you can buy loads of skins to protect it aswell. the ipod nano comes in white and black and you have an option of 1gb 2gb 4gb memory, of course the more memory the more expensive the player, but the 1gb starts at only £110!! how many other mp3 players do you know that you can charge, has colour screen, holds upto 250 tracks (1gb version) and holds photos as well, and is super slim and stylish!!! Rating: Reviewed by Michael from Ireland, Republic of on 17/03/2006 This is quite simple the most attractive and essentially sexy MP3 player I have seen to date. Effortlessly beautiful, perfectly formed and unpretentiously intelligent inside. Probably the best gift I have ever received. Rating: Reviewed by sarah on 16/03/2006 well........ ......they are so cool. i love it! it holds heaps of songs and the battery lasts for ages. the only thing about a black one is that you should get a cover because it gets scratched really easily and you can see it more on a black than a white one. but overall i love my nano Rating: Reviewed by david on 14/03/2006 brought this mp3 player just after christmas absolute tosh! wouldntt play tunes sound quality is rubbish so i took it back and got a zen micro photo absolutely superb i would reconmend to anyone! Rating: Reviewed by Sarah on 14/03/2006 I think this ipod is amazing. Its total good and worth the money . Its definitley worth buying ive had mine since decmber and its still good and i luv it :P Rating: Reviewed by gun man on 12/03/2006 i class GET ONE ASAP Rating: Reviewed by sharky on 11/03/2006 i think the nano is on of the best mp3s i've every had plus the battery lasts for a long time and the disc is easy to donwload on to your pc and the music is great from the itunes store Rating: Reviewed by kim on 11/03/2006 ooommmmgggg i love my ipod nano its gr8 i cn fit all my songs on it pictures its nice and small so the teachas at skwl cnt c it i jus love it i wud recomend every to get 1 a.s.a.p Rating: Reviewed by ~*~sexual scotty~*~ on 11/03/2006 i think this small, cute yet practical piece of technology is a must have!! its so handy to have tons of songs with you all of the time, and i totaly disagree if anyone says they need bigger storage space for one persons collection of songs, becuase by the time you need more songs on your i-pod al lot will have gone out of fashion therefore you wil lbe able to take them off to free up space. The picture space is just so convenient also....when i went away with my college i put loads of picture on my i-pod to remind me of home instead of carrying pictures with me and loosing them (very practical!!) i also took the plastic cover off when i first got my i-pod (not the best of ideas) but i've had my i-pod around 7 months now and it has not got one scratch on the scrren, and i am not the most careful girl in the world with nay of my belongings so its not up to me looking after it (its been thrown downstairs during fights, fell off my bed when i've slept listening to it, my kitten has palyed with it whilst i have been out etc) yet it is all still very smart!! i must admit though the back of the i-pod is a little bit scratched and does collect fignerprints easily, therefore i have put a nano case on it, these cases are pretty rubbish though as they do not contain a screen cvoer. overall the nano is brill and id recomend anyone to get one!! Rating: Reviewed by Nimi Plange on 10/03/2006 I've had my nano since Christmas. I had heard all the scary reports of people snapping their pods and cracking their screens etc so I was a bit apprehensive. First of all, if you plan to store thousands of songs then the nano isn't for you. The first thing I would suggest to everyone buying the nano is don't remove the plastic film covering the front. I've left mine on so I have no scratches at all and the click wheel is still easy to operate. Secondly, invest in a proper case. I purchased a black case by Incase and because it took a few weeks to deliver, I did not carry my ipod out of the house until I had it well protected. I also like the fact that I can wear my ipod around my neck on the lanyard headphones I bought, but beware...the lanyard doesn't fit if you buy the case I purchased so I have to switch to the case the nano came with when using lanyard. The other day, my pod fell off a table about 2feet high onto a tiled floor. It was in the case. Nothing happened to it. I've read reviews with people complaining that they put their nano's in their back pockets and broke their pods. My suggestion to those of you deciding whether or not the nano is the player for you is that you don't place it in your back pocket! Probably isn't a good idea to put any type of gadget in your back pocket, but that's just my opinion. My only complaint is that the click wheel is not backlit on any of the new pods (The nano is my first MP3 player so I can't speak for any other). Which is silly in my opinion. I can't understand why Apple didn't think of that. Rating: Reviewed by sierra on 10/03/2006 A very useful little machine I have to charge it everyday though but thats OK. The nano gets scratched very easily so you should definetly buy a case that has a built in screen protector... If you dont do this you will regret it. I have a white 2gb nano and i spilled water on it so it doesnt really work anymore so im gonna buy a black 1gb nano cuz 240 songs is enough for me! Rating: Reviewed by Narthbor on 10/03/2006 I agree with Nikolai Almeida's review completely. I've had my nano since October 2005 and I have had no problems. I spent over $300 on mine and accessories. I decided that since I was parting with what I considered a small gold mine, that it was well worth spending that bit extra to ensure it was well protected. I do understand that people who have had problems with screens cracking for no apparent reason deserve to be annoyed, I would be too. And yes if that is the case then absolutely their pod should be changed...not repaired, changed. However, when I read that some one is complaining because they put their nano in their back pocket and then -surprise surprise- it broke because they sat on it, I have to question their level of intelligence. Look how thin it is, of course it will break! And with all the pouches, cases and what not available you have no reason to treat it so badly! Would you put a china vase on the edge of a shelf and blame the company who manufactured it when it falls off? Of course not! I'm not trying to convince or deter anyone from buying the ipod nano. I'm just trying to say if you can afford to spend money on ANY gadget then look after it properly. Surely that can't be too hard? Rating: Reviewed by x HaZzA x on 08/03/2006 xx i got my i-pod for christmas and its abouslty GREAT i love it to bits i take it to college with me on the bus and enjoy listin to my tunes .. atm i have got 367 but gonna put sum more on =) ... the only really disapointing thing about it is the battery ... i end up havvin to charge it almost everyday !!! but part from that its FAB nd im lost wiv out it xx (also mines got loadza scratches on.. so if ya do get one i advice u to buy a case get em from argos or sumthin lol) Rating: Reviewed by ellisha tyler on 07/03/2006 i think the ipod nano is a good piece of technology. Although it is not very good because the battery doesnt last long and my itunes doesnt work. Rating: Reviewed by JW on 06/03/2006 I've had my nano for just under 5 months and it is excellent! It was my 1st MP3 player and now I can't imagine anything bigger. The battery life is excellent, (although I had to buy an iPod charger for £30) and the screen is also brilliant. My only negative is the memory-I bought the 2GB and so am constantly having to delete songs from my iTunes-mines fits up to 520 songs. Anyway, great piece of hardware-BUY 1! Rating: Reviewed by Smithy on 05/03/2006 dis is a rely stylish ipod nd i love da look of it. BUT the memory is rubbish i can only hav 400 songs but it is a rely good ipod and got good style . If you do buy 1 bye a 4gig Rating: Reviewed by Becky on 04/03/2006 I LOVE MY NANO it is one of my favourite pieces of technology ever even better than the cd player and that is why i dont care what everyone else says because i love it! Rating: Reviewed by paul graves on 27/02/2006 i have had three ifferent ipod nanos. The first one snapped in my back pocket and the second one ran out of battery within one hour even if turned off. load of rubbish buy a vieo. Rating: Reviewed by James Briggs on 27/02/2006 You are ALL wrong. Yes the ipod is a superb piece of engineering, no doubt. However, its not. They are soo unreliable. I work at Dixons and can guarentee that it wont last longer that a year an a half. The battery will go, and ipod will charge £60, that is if the poor electrics last till then. I was at first sceptic about the poor reviews, bought 1 maself infact, but seein the numberof returns we have processed, i would reccommend dont bother Rating: Reviewed by Ben Parker on 24/02/2006 Well what can i say? I really cant believe how small the player is. I have my ipod nano white for 2 months now and i have used everyday. i just cant put the thing down. I have downloaded many other applications for it aswell so if anyone wants the site link just email me at Ben2005laptops@hotmail.com There is one thing though. I have noticed that the back side of the ipod nano can be cloned to attaching fingure prints to itself. I just can seem to get away from them. That was until i disscovered the see through covers for them. (Screen protector) I have installed the cover over the ipod and it works great. Apart from the fingure prints i cant see any other problems with the nifty little gadget. Rating: Reviewed by Tim on 23/02/2006 .I've had my ipod a few months now and I still admireit! Amazing colour screen for your photos and the music is crystal clear. Amazinbg how they can fit such good things into comething so sleek and small. Well Done apple, another high qualiy product!! Rating: Reviewed by JasonJ on 23/02/2006 One things I DID NOT realize untill tomday is that the Ipod Nano 2GB CANNOT hold 500 songs. Only if your songs are exaclty 4MB then you can hold 500 songs. However, some of my songs are 6 and 7 MB and therefore can only hold 278 songs and no photos. This sucks I shouldve bought the 4GB Ipod. Despise this fact the nano ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!11 Rating: Reviewed by Chris from South Wales on 22/02/2006 I've had the 2gb black version for two weeks now and I still can't get over how small it is! I had an ipod shuffle before to listen to on the way to work but I wasn't happy at the random way it downloaded music. Now I can download what playlist I want, it's easier to choose the music that matches my mood. True, I've found that the screen can scratch easily, but I bought a leather case to protect it. Even with the case it is tiny and weighs nothing, I can put it in my pocket and not know it's there. I've owned an ipod mini and I've got the 20gb version and this is by far the best ipod I've had. If only it had the finish of the ipod mini and it would be perfect! It's nearly perfect so I'll give it five stars anyway. Rating: Reviewed by the g-man on 21/02/2006 this is sex on a box. yes it scratches easily have you ever heard of a case? stops the scratching? as for snapping you ipod, how did you manage that? u must have been like 'oh i know ill just see how far it bends!' no. treat it with moderate care and it will work for a long time. if its faulty send it to apple. they have to fix it and sorry but if you can even spell then im not surprised it stopped working. Rating: Reviewed by Nikolai Almeida on 20/02/2006 People are always complaining about the iPod nano's saying that: they scratch easily. the screens break easily. they are fiddly to use. the batteries run out after 50 recharges. Bear in mind that I do have a nano, so I do know what I'm talking about! Scratches on the iPod nano in white aren't as easily seen as on the black. Plus if you care so much about the scratches BUY A PROTECTIVE SILICON SKIN before you get it or take it out of the box. If you can't be bothered to, then you deserve every single scratch on your nano. The screens are said to break easily...if you take care of it then the screen won't break. For crying out loud, the reason the nano is so thin is because there is no reinforcement on the screen, so don't: drop it. press on the screen very hard. throw it. stomp, smash, hammer or in some cases, spill water on it and 'wipe' it off using force! If you are also concerned about the screen scratching then get a screen protector, these can cost about £1. They stop scratches, but do not stop the screen from breaking. The nano is not fiddly to use because the CLICKWHEEL is touch sensitive. This means that no matter how big your fingers are it will still work very well. The batteries DO NOT stop working after 50 battery recharges. The reason people say this is because they messed up the batteries. Sometimes when you charge the batteries you may disconnect the charger to see how full the battery is. DON'T DO THIS...the battery has a memory that tells it how long it can charge for. For arguments sake let's say that the memory said 2 hours for a full charge. If you unplug it after 1h 55mins then you rewrite the memory, so that when you reconnect the charger the nano says that it is full, when it is not. If you keep doing this then the time limit before the nano says 'FULL' gets shorter and shorter and so does the amount of hours the batteries can be used for, before they run out. You effectively ruin your nano by doing this. There is one way of trying to recover SOME of the batteries full potential. Keep it charging for about 5-10mins after the full sign comes on. DO NOT unplug it during this time. Other causes of the battery life shortening are: Overcharging for about 15 minutes plus. Undercharging (already explained above). Not fully charging the first time (the instructions that come with the nano say this). ALWAYS read the little booklets and instruction manuals inside out making sure you haven't missed anything. If you don't read the manuals you will ruin your iPod nano permanently. £130+ ($200+) down the drain. It's that simple. Please take my advice, and if anyone contradicts this explanation, and says that the nano is rubbish for any of these reasons: they scratch easily. the screens break easily. they are fiddly to use. the batteries run out after 50 recharges. then can you please punch them in the face...Thank You! Rating: Reviewed by JasonJ on 19/02/2006 I love my iPOD NANO more than anything else! It's sleek design is what made me buy it, and I am a proud iPOD owner now! Having never experienced previous iPODs, I found the clickwheel very easy to use. The 2GB (500 songs) is enough for me but note that it also comes in 1GB and 4GB models. The battery life isnt great, 14hours, but lasts about 8 hours if you are constantly turning the wheel or playing games/ viewing photos. The cons are that the nano scratches way too easily, battery life and Itunes is kinda confusing but still easy. I highly reccomend a nano for anybody who enjoys music. Rating: Reviewed by scotty on 19/02/2006 i got the nano about 3 months ago and i thing the thing is excellent....the only prob is it gets so dirty...but looks so good!!!!

I agree with the others , obviously you cant expect it to be a rock , if you throw it around, you will break it. A cover is enough to keep the scratches away. Sound quality is awesome. I also have the integrated lanyard earphones which allows you to wear the ipod .. its really cool , you dont get messed up by the wires and stuff. The price is right for this kinda stuff. Rating: Reviewed by james on 17/02/2006 Very good mp3 player.I got it for christmas and has been brilliant.No problems but the screen had got scrathed a bit so i bought a good cover that covers the screen as well(get a good cover).Sound quality is amazing.My dad could not believe the size of the thing(well as they say small things come in big packages).I would strongly recomend to get ibuds because the earphones kept falling out.BEST THING I EVER HAD!!!!!!

Nice extras here and there. cons: scratches too easily and poor battery life. Comes in 2GB and 4 Rating: Reviewed by Lawrence-techno-freak on 26/12/2005 basic instructions. ignore what all the opinionated and viewably biased "professional" reviewers point out. i have four in my household, and not one problem has occured during my time with them. the great little machine pumps out fantastic bass and even low bitrate music still offers happy hearing (i recommend you stick with the standard ipod headphones supplied, as these are the just about the best).. the LCD screen is crisp and bright,and the click wheel just is fascinating, with not a wheel exactly but a touch sensitive unit, it is a joy to play with. none of the gimmicks look gimmicky in thereselves because of the Nano's gorgeous profile,and no effort is needed to get jealous expressions from passers by. I could go on about these points, but lets skip to the best area. its array of features. you've got a photo viewer, slideshow play, calendar, alarms, arcade games,contact storage, podcasts, notes,stopwatch, new screen lock, and a clock that tells the time in every single region and country in the world. and that's just a few examples. pretty good battery life, fantastic sound, feature packed, great screen, click wheel, sexy, sexy profile! al of this sums up a perfect machine. a few glitches with iTunes, but is probably due to corrupted XP pro! the casing is easy to smudge, and it only charges through the USB ( don't worry though for around a tenner each you can find AC chargers for it, and a host of other gadgets). but these are only minor drawbacks from such a fantastic product. go 4GB, better value. Rating: Reviewed by shark on 15/11/2005 its great i go with what alot of poeple have said its great it wworks well just it scratches easily even easier than normal ipods.. the colour screen is amazing but 4gb isnt enough it rocks dont buy anything but apple!
