Finally got mine back today. 6th gen 8gb.

Actually like it a lot more than I thought I would. I am so used to a first gen (loved the thing!) that features like video and camera don't bother me. So I am more than happy without them. :)
 
iPod nano 6th generation sent today :). It seems like most people are getting 6th gens in France : http://www.igeneration.fr/ipod/ipod-nano-les-6g-remplacent-les-1g-en-france-72392
yu'p, getting mine tomorrow! :D The iWatchz is all ready for it!

----------

UK calling...having made the request on 12 November and been on product replacement pending since 21 November, a CHANGE AT LONG LAST!

Just checked status on the apple website and was given UPS tracking number, email shortly thereafter! Checked the serial number and can confirm another silver 6th Gen iPod nano although according to powerbookmedic.com, this is a 16GB product. Surely a mistake? In fact checked with appleserialnumberinfo.com and it's stated as 8GB. Either way it's an upgrade on 2GB first gen that was sent in.

Here's the UPS saga timeline as I see it on the UPS tracking website:

Manchester, United Kingdom 05/01/2012 11:32 The customer was not available on the 1st attempt. A 2nd attempt will be made.
05/01/2012 6:50 Out for Delivery
05/01/2012 3:15 Arrival Scan
Tamworth, United Kingdom 05/01/2012 1:17 Departure Scan
Tamworth, United Kingdom 04/01/2012 21:02 Origin Scan

Not sure of what I'm advancing but I'll give it a shot anyways!
My iPod Nano 1st gen was 1gB and there sending in a 8gB 6th gen model. Surely, if your model was a 2gB version, it's reasonnable for you to hope getting a 16gB 6th gen model.
Guess you'll just have to wait and see! :eek:
 
My other 2 just turned up.

I can't believe Apple replaced old dead ones with shiny brand new models. :eek:

And now I have 3! :D

They're ok actually, maybe they don't sound as good but will be great for the gym or running.

Thank you Apple.
 
Just for another point of reference - received my replacement (silver 6th Gen) this morning in UK - delivered by UPS.

No e-mail received and status of repair on apple site STILL showing replacement pending as at 25th November.

so maybe now they are just shipping them without even bothering to change the repair statuses!.
 
Who ships the iPod? I also received yesterday the email! But I don't received my iPod yet? I live in The Netherlands.

I don't know yet.... It is not specified in the mail. My tracking code is a sequence of 10 numbers and no letters. UPS does not seem to recognize the tracking number. :(

The replacement just arrived with selektvracht. :)
Silver 8gb 6th gen. It seems to be new.
My old iPod was in mint condition.
 
From Germany

Hello from Germany,

I finally received the confirmation email with serial number and tracking information.
Seems as well to be a 6. Ipod.
 
Got mine today delivered by the danish postal service

it seems like everyone's getting an 8gb silver nano - i wonder if there's any way to swap it out for a different color at the apple store? the free upgrade is already nice, but being able to get the color you want instead of a default silver is icing on the cake =)

I'd say sell the silver one and use the money to purchase a Nano with the color of your choice ;)

Btw did yours have a french sticker on the back?...saying something about the danger of listening to music for too long...
 
I'm in the UK and got my 8Gb grey 6th gen nano today.

Service requested Nov 12th
Received Nov 24th
Nano replacement arrived Jan 7th

Thank you Apple. It's not often you get something for nothing!
 
Something was shipped to me (UK, requested service 15 Nov, Replacement Pend since 12 Dec).

I assume you need the serial from the email to work out if its a 6th gen? No email yet, and the "repair status" gives my original serial number.
 
UK recall

Service requested 12 Nov.
iPod received by apple on 24 Nov and pending since.
Replacement shipped yesterday, serial number shows an 8Gb Silver 6G Nano. (Original iPod was a working 4Gb white).

Missed the delivery, will be attempted again on Monday. In case anyone was interested, it was shipped using UPS.
 
Consipiracy theory alert on UPS just running in and dropping non-delivery notes without even knocking on doors...if you are not there 3 times, you have to pay to have it delivered a 4th time...so it they get 1 and 2 for without knocking, there's more of a chance of extra revenues for the courrier!
