Nano is a terrible iPod.

Oct 29, 2005 9:26AM PDT

My nano 2g white has only 4-5 hours of battery life... its supposed to be 14.

The screen is easy to scratch, and the sound is TERRIBLE.

Am I the only one who is getting these problems?

I like mine

I got a black 4Gb. I like it. I would highly recommend getting an Invisible Shield (although its stupid you have to). I don't have any scratches on mine because of it. I get around 14-16 hours of playing time on mine, so it sounds like there's something is wrong with yours.

iPods just about run in my family as if its a trait. 3 uncles have it, 5 aunts, 6 cousins, and and even my niece and sis has one! But my friend got a 2 gig White Nano on Oct. 8 and its nice but small; easily broken but someone my frame or his frame if their not careful. He let me borrow it for a night and I liked the easiness of transferring music and what not! It averages about 15.47 hours of playing time and he has no case so of course its scratched, and it may not have been that scratched but he keeps it in his bookbag and pocket! Its fragile though! But I liked it and he loves it!
