Black Nanos Come With Scratched Screens in Orando Store!!!
In the Apple Store in Orlando, Fl @ Millenia, many iPod Nanos (black ones) are arriving with huge scratches in the screens and are not being accepted as returns until a month from now. I was there just a couple of minutes ago where I got the white one. They are sending coustomers back and furious. This is quite unfair for early adopters and must to stop if Apple intendets to lure new iPod coustumers and not create bad PR. Please wirte on your thought about this and if it is happening in other places.

I live in the Orlando area and thought I'd be better off ordering on line. I guessed wrong there. I ordered a black nano on Intro Day (7 Sep). Even with overnight shipping, it won't be here until Wed (14 Sep) (estimated ship date now Tuesday). I think this is the first time for me that Apple has over-promised and under-delivered (when I ordered it they said 'ships in 1-3 days,' but at this point it will be shipping in 4 days). I guess it's because they underestimated demand of black nanos.

I think its a great service from the store. Test drive your iPod Nano for a month, learn how easy it scratch and get a new one.

That's preference, not fact.

According to the poll I conducted this morning it's a fact. When I asked all of my daughter's stuffed animals to raise their hand if the thought the nano looked best in white, not a single one raised their hand. My daughter then took her animals away. I had to assume that they all preferred the nano in black.

Here's another opinion for you. Online forums are full of smartasses.
Thanks for demonstrating.
Anyway, if I got a scratched screen from the store, I would get it in writing that I could return it a month later.
This is clearly part of Apple's new iPod Pre-Scratch? Program. Rather that worry about ruining your brand-new iPod yourself, Apple experts apply custom-designed wear-and-tear-lines prior to delivery, by implementing the same technology used to engrave your iPod.
Now, you don't have to create worry lines of your own about where and when you will first scratch on your iPod.
As always, Apple has already done the work for you, now that they own the entire widget: the hardware, the software and the environmental damage.

As long as they're still replacing it in a month, with a NEW one (non-refurbished), I'd be OK with that. It gives you a chance to see how well it holds up to abuse, and still have a brand new one a month later. I see your point though, a lot of the value of the product is its jewel-like looks.

Well, Apple came through for me after all. My black nano was shipped on Saturday and received Monday, 12 Sep--so they DID make their initial, estimated delivery schedule. Kudos, Apple!

Mine came 3 days ahead of time.
