I would have to say the same, it is quite durable and sturdy, looks good, and it has all the features I need.

The little fat one made the most sense to me. the new one isnt bad though.

I've owned 3 iPods (4g, this, 2g shuffle) and an iPhone 3G. This Nano is my favorite iPod.
Most people didn't like the fattie design (including Apple since they went to the thin design in the next iteration), but I think it looks extremely cute. Plus, it's very ergonomic.

I would also have to agree. This thing is a wonder in the pocket and in the hand. Wish I would have opted for the larger 16GB version as I have no plans to replace this device until a better form factor is released again.

I have to agree with everyone here that this is my favorite form factor for the nano. I may wish I had some of the features of the new one, but I don't understand the curved screen and the "remote" shape of the 4g Nano. Since this is still functional, I'll probably not buy another one until something equally usable comes out. If I had to buy something to replace it now, my other option is buying one of the similar sized Yepps or iRivers here in Korea.

I thought this really was a fat design until my boss gave me one. Its so thin and it fits in the hand well. The wheel is almost too thin sometimes, its hard for my fat fingers to press, but you can't have the huge wheel from the iPod classic on here. Much better than all the message board led us to believe......

This is my favorite iPod as well. two things that I wish:
1) that I would, as a previous poster, would have purchased the larger storage as well
2) no that my battery lasts 1/2 as long, wish I could find a retailer that still sells them.

I know Apple had some in their refurbished marketplace a while back, but now can't find one. Anyone know where I could get a "new" or "refurbished" iPod Nano 3g?

The first Nano was absolutely FANTASTIC. It was my first iPod, so I might be having a bit of a "first crush" moment, but it was small, light, and durable as hell.

I had one of those too, however i heard had heard of sad stories where kids my age (at the time) broke them really easily. I also had one of those but I gave it to a teacher to take care of it while i played soccer and the screen stopped working after he was hit in the leg with the ball. =P I then got the 3rd gen after a year of no mp3s (and consequently, no music). The 1st gen was perfect for my small 12-year-old hands back then but if i were to use it today it would just be way too small.

This is my favourite iPod Nano by far!

I LOVE IT, although I'm not an Apple fanboy. They got it right when it comes to portable media players, and this one is just perfect. I wish I had gone with the 8 GB, but then again, I'm only listening to podcasts, which barely take up 3 GB.
Battery life is absolutely awesome. Sound is great. Buttons get a bit sensitive if the Nano has been in the sun for a few, but other than that, it just works.

I agree. I love the design of it and it very easily fit in the hand.

I still love that iPod. I have/had the black 8GB version and I recently upgraded to a Touch 8GB. The nano 3rd gen is/was a purpose-built mp3 player that was sturdy and played damn good music (insert favourite song here). I wish that Apple still built ipods like it. =(
