Are there any technical faults with the First Generation iPod Nano?

Answer 1

Not really. They are just physically bigger, the housing is more prone to scratches, and have half the memory (stotage) that a Gen 2 has for the same amount of money.

If you already have one, and it has enough capacity, there is no need to get rid of it.

Answer 2

I have one, and I haven't had any huge problems with it. I have noticed that sometimes after I set it on screen lock and turn it off, it won't register the code when I turn it back on, but all you have to do is reset it and it's fine. I haven't had problems with scratches, since I put a special clear cover over the screen when I first got it, but if you don't I've heard that they will scratch easily. The same goes for the actual iPod- it would be smart to keep a case of some sort on it at all times. I personally like mine since it's white and you can change the color with covers whenever you want, but the new one is nice too.

Answer 3

For the most part, no.
They do however get scratched easily, so a case is useful. I also have had one for a year, and it did freeze once, but i reset it and it was fine.

Answer 4

i have one and the only bad thing i have found is the instructional manual is virtually useless. have spent a lot of time on the phone getting the darn thing to work.
