Nano fakes

JAMAL · 4 Dec 2006 at 14:15

Anyone got one if these nano fakes like on the online auctions?

I picked a 4 gig one up today for £20.70 with free shipping, i thought it would make a nice stocking filler for my daughter.

Anyone here got one, if so have you got any decent pic? whats it like?

Cheers

how old is she? she will probably kill you after being taunted by the other kids for having a fake nano :eek:

Is it even going to work? Surely 4GB of flash memory alone is worth more.

stick it in a silicon skin to *protect/hide it*.

for £20, as long as it works and has semi decent battery life, whats the problem?

let us know how it is when it comes.

thats why i asked how old she was - kids arent stupid. Wouldnt bother me if it had the functionality for a fraction of the price, but im 23 not 12.

Excellent.

My daughter (whos 11) wont be fussed if its fake to be honest, its just a stocking filler and she has lots (too many) presents allready!!!

my mate says its better than a nano

Also, it does video and shiz. Only bad thing is he smashed the screen but it still works great.

whats the description they go under. fake nano?

That's an amazing price for the memory size, fake or no!

JAMAL · 4 Dec 2006 at 16:41

I'm just looking around the net now and there are firmware updates and websites dedicated to these little player + firmware modding!

Should be ok if it works!

do they have a name other than fake nano?

JAMAL · 4 Dec 2006 at 16:50

They usually say mp4 on them.

only bad thing is, they normally have ~8hours battery life.

ill buy one for £20.70 delivered. rigth bargain even if it is fake

JAMAL · 4 Dec 2006 at 18:15

Right after abit of reading......

There is NO 4GB ones, they are a faked capacity and are usually 2GB.

Formatting them FAT not FAT32) will reveal this.

anyone offering more than 2GB must be selling faked memory sizes.

Still 2GB for £20 isnt bad!!

Formatting it as FAT will limit it to 2gb - as thats the limit in drive size for FAT

Ah didnt know that, one way to tell for sure on these players is check the memory chip code.

I watched one of these go for £13 delivered earlier too!!
