It says here that you can have the new Ipod Nano's engraved. I wish to get one for Xmas but I want ti engraved. Will it affect me from returning it if it is faulty etc if I have it engraved?

although, having said that, they could just take the back bit off and replace it with a new one.

Won't affect the warranty coverage at all - still be able to have it repaired if it is faulty. May not be able to send it back under their 14 day returns policy if you change your mind about it however.

I have found Apple's warrenty service to be excellent. If your iPod is engraved and you return it for a warrenty repair you have the option of having back a reconditioned unit with no engraving or waiting a bit longer for one with engraving back (not sure if it will be the same one you send or another engraved unit)

In short engraving makes no difference if it is done by Apple when you order your iPod

Hijacking this thread a bit, similar subkect tho, dont want to start a new thread. I sent my ipd off to have a new screen, it was engraved with my name. Got a new one back, it has been engraved with my Sisters name. My dad said ours were on the same order. Going to ring apple tomorrow, but will there be any long term problems with it having someone elses name on it, apart from if plod think I've stolen it?

whilst engraving does not effect the warrenty (even if its faulty they will fix or replace it) but it is an added security feature. if, for examlpe, someone steals it and it has 'John smith, 01-01-1900' engraved on it it becomes worthless to any thief as it is harder to get rid of, although saying that if you ever decide to sell it not many people want an ipod with someone elses details or messages engraved on it

mmmm, understand about the ebay thing. Not too worried about the resell value, I dont treat it 'like a biscuit', its in a case etc, by the time I sell it itll go to someone who wants an MP3 player, rather than a nice ipod to show off. Have yet to ring apple to find out!
