Okay - so now I am already regretting my rash jump on buying the Nano. Everyone I know who owns an IPOD of other flavors LOVES them to death. So I confidentenly forked out an insane amount of money for the Nano, rather than going for one of the more familiar Microsoft friendly MP3 players.

I too have a very scratched up screen. Not broken. I haven't pushed the battery test yet. Doesn't sound like there is a happy future for us dopes.
