Another fake iPod Nano!
8 of 15 people found this review helpful.
I'm a seasoned eBayer, having over 670 feedbacks to my credit (all positive). I am a very cautious buyer, and cannot believe that I received a fake iPod! I have bought 3 iPods in the past off eBay (a Mini and 2 photo iPods), and had no problem whatsoever, because I know to always check the seller's feedback and ask questions up front if I'm unsure of anything. My daughter's Mini was stolen a couple of months ago, along with her entire purse, and she had been looking for an iPod that she really liked to replace it with. She wanted another Mini, but settled for an 8 GB Nano when I was able to find a bright pink one, because it was different from anyone else's 8 GB Nano. I had already checked Apple's website and found that they only make them in black and red, so I questioned the seller about whether the item was real, and was assured that it was! Let me tell you, it's a GREAT looking copy! But it is NOT real, nor does it work properly. ITunes doesn't recognize it and will not use it. The buttons do not work as the genuine iPod's buttons do. In fact, there seems to be no rhyme nor reason to how they work, as they appear to change from one time to the next. There is an extra little "loop" on the bottom between the dock port and the headphone jack, which is supposed to be a "mic" according to the labeling on the back of the unit. The screen is a larger rectangle, and it even has a video capability, although you'd need a magnifying glass to see anything well enough. The menu is nothing like a genuine article, either. Instead of a list, it has separate screens for each function, with large colored cartoonish pictures on each. The workings of it are absolutely incomprehensible, and of COURSE it had no instructions, except for what appears to be the quick start brochure from a genuine iPod! So, be VERRRRY careful out there, people!! Even seasoned veterans of eBay can get taken, as I did! Good luck to everyone.
