[Kreator]

Great effort.

Stickied and renamed.

[xFilthyxJesusx]

Nice. I don't understand why people ever get it mixed up. Don't they know what it was they were buying. hahaha.

[SoxFan33]

This is good. Should help with confusion. because you really can't mess up the model number. its either the same in your about section or its not.

I noticed that you did miss the 4g 20gb U2 Greyscale iPod.

[Equanox1]

nah its up there, i just didnt put "Black/Red"

[frank75263]

[dagboh]

[HATE9X]

Excellent post.
I was just wondering how could I identify my 2nd gen Nano I'm getting tomorrow. (whether it's US or EU)

[frank75263]

wen u ave ur ipod go 2 settings on da main menu, then go to about, then scroll down 2 ipod model . it will prob be a US model because i bought my ipod in ireland nd da model code is 'MA477' (which is da same model as da 1 ur gettin i tink), hope dis helps.

[HATE9X]

Thx for the info frank, I was wondering where the model no. will be written though I thought I'd find out.
(well of course I've checked that on my mates' iPods, but had forgotten that)
I think it's also written on the packaging somewhere also, but well, who cares.
Guess I'll find out tomorrow.. I'm getting it from abroad, outside both US&EU so that's why I don't know it.
