[lockks]

wow...this is great news if this is true.

 

[Seymour]

wondering when will we be receiving the nano back?

 

[divine_R]

seems like we will be getting the 6th Gen. but personally I prefer the 1st nano design

 

[theory_87]

6weeks liao... still no news

 

[lockks]

so far no one has gotten back their ipod?

 

[tappy-o]

just went today. They told me i will be getting back the same 1st gen nano

 

[llvisionll]

this is the politically correct and safest answer.
still pinning hope for 6th gen.

just went today. They told me i will be getting back the same 1st gen nano

 

[lockks]

Received reply from Sapura that the device was recently dispatched for repair despite the set was handed over to them about 1 month ago.

I think they're sending the iPods in batches. So it probably took them 1 month to collate sufficient number of iPods before sending them for replacement.

I just made call to check for eligibility

they said unit only will be fine, should have no crack on screen and casing, and should be able to be turned on for few seconds.

will send to them this week.

btw mine is 1st gen black 4gb ipod nano manufactured in 2005, long time not using it, last time I used the battery already was not so good

actually I am hoping to get 1st gen replacement, I never compare it personally but many say that 1st gen ipods are using better audio chip which produces "better" sound

Yes Dicxz, you are absolutely right. I agree with you that the 1st gen has better sound quality.

i just emailed sapura and they replied me saying Apple has yet to ship them any replacement for the recall programme

 

[Sacrelicious]

bump for the new year. any buttie received their replacement yet?

 

[nokianseries]

bump for the new year. any buttie received their replacement yet?

nope not yet

 

[boopit]

feel like killing apple.
I asked 2 CSO, one said will give 6th gen, one say 1st

 

[me_jul]

Its been 8 weeks already, but still no news from eServ. Called them and they said just wait for their call. No details on when I can collect it.
Heard that US giving gen 6 ipod nano as replacement and in less than a month. Maybe Apple collecting enough 1st gen so that they can change the batt and do the exchange in sgp??? Just speculating...

 

[pilotsnoopy]

its been more than the 6 weeks they promised...we can start 'banging table'?

starting to test my patience.

 

[pilotsnoopy]

Sapura has said even customers whom sent right after recall have not gotten anything because they had no shipment and they have alerted Apple...

 

[SpinFire]

Those people in UK, France, Germany and US got their replacement a week or two after sending in... We still waiting after 8 weeks... All got the 6th gen iPod Nano as replacement.
