iPod 1st Gen iPod Nano Recall: battery overheating

Looks like you could be wrong going off what the posts above this one are saying, people could receive 6G versions in return for their 1G versions.
This is why my original post asked if anyone had actually received their replacement iPod yet to confirm what version they had received. Anyone could guess at what version could be sent out.
I am still waiting for my replacement, wonder if it will come in time for christmas?

Several people had already gotten back first generation Nano's when I posted that.

Lost in post???
Hi all. I'm in the UK.
I requested my box on the 19/11, it was sent on 24/11 and I received it and sent my iPod back on the 1/12. Since then nothing has happened. I've checked the status every couple of days and it still hasn't got to stage 2.
I've found my certificate of posting and put the barcode number in to Royal Mails 'track & trace' website and it says my package is being progressed through the network.
Where do I go now. Has anyone got a number for Apple that I can phone? It looks like my iPod has got lost in our wonderful postal service.

This is the original repair status when they shipped my empty box...
But as the box did come and i got no news after 10 days i called apple and they organized another pickup and repair id and it look like the following :

I'm in the UK. Mine took 2 weeks from posting it back to getting a status update change of "empty box shipped" -> "product placement pending".
I realise yours has been a bit longer, but this may be because of the normal Christmas slowdown, etc.
I wouldn't worry just yet, even if it is frustrating. At least you have the proof of postage.
Woo Hoo! Just got an e-mail from Apple stating that my replacement has shipped, will arrive on Friday. Replacement serial number = 6th generation!
Fascinating. I just checked my repair status again and now see something identical. At least I know something is happening. Now I just have to worry about the UPS person screwing up.
Me too!Finally I received a padded envelope from Apple, CA.
I put my iPod Nano in the plastic bag, and sent it by UPS Ground (pre-paid label attached) today
nope, apple wants your iPod nano. send it in and wait for a 6th gen to go your way.

I received email from Apple today.
Apple shipped 6th generation iPod Nano today according to the new serial number.
It took about two weeks since I shipped my 1st generation iPod Nano to Apple.
Can anyone confirm that they are still sending out 6G nanos to replace 1G?
I sent mine off recently when I found out about the program, still waiting for Royal Mail to process the shipment.

Well they've already started to ship the 7th gen models now, but I doubt they would be sending 7th gens out as a replacement for free... it would be nice if they did though
Just checked the repair status of mine and it's estimated delivery says Monday 15th October! Huzzah!
I'm curious about this as well. I have a 1st gen but would not be willing to send it in for a 6th gen replacement which is an inferior design.

Has anyone requested a replacement recently? Just curious if they've switched to replacing with the 7th Gen iPod.
I thought I had lost my 1st Gen, just found it and requested replacement. Can't believe program is still going on.
