So whos ordered the (PRODUCT) RED Special Edition?

I ordered one from the us store

I have one on order with the UK store.

*Edit*
I just checked on the status(I only ordered it yesterday), and it says "shipped"!!!!
I can't wait to get it...

Humm the iPod Colors aren't as bad in real images..apple might look into removing those digital ones that make them look girly.

I just don't like the new colors for the video nanos.
Silver is the only color that I like.

If only they made a product red classic. :(

According to the tracking on my order, my shiny new Product Red 8GB will be arriving tomorrow...
I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

I got my RED this morning! ;) It's sooooooooo awesome!

The color is indeed red, but in sunlight it turns into a pinkish tone.

Oh well, happy that Apple donates some money to Africa. Anyone know how many percent goes to benefit?

I just got my Product(Red) nano today. Not nearly as pink looking as on apples website. It's actually a darker red than last years model.

the 3rd gen red is more darker than the 2nd gen, i like the 2nd gen red better

When the 16GB update comes I'll probably be getting the silver, the black doesn't really look as good as previous generations in my opinion.

Is there any link to a more accurate picture of the new 3G red nano? One that gives you a better idea of the shade of red.

Thanks

Sweet....... :)

Thanks to Kieran007 for posting the picture.

Yep, the important thing for people to understand is that the color varies DRAMATICALLY depending upon how much light is reflecting off of it. People who don't want their iPod to look "dark pinkish" in direct light should not order the red model.

Thanks for the reply Sancroff !

As much as I like the red, I don't want a pink one when I'm outside.

Looks like silver for me. :)

I loved the 2G red nano, but held off ordering a new red nano until I had a chance to see it in person. Yesterday I had that chance, and abandoned any idea of buying it. Its too pink for my taste. The photo posted by Kieran007 is what it might look like under very flat lighting, but as he said, not in sunlight. Nor did it look like that under the lights in the Apple Store. I browsed some Flickr images and think the best representation of what it looks like under "normal" lighting is this one.

Do not expect it to look like this. http://www.flickr.com/photos/13309009@N02/1363797233/. Its simply not that red.

Oddly, the black nano and black Classic look like different colors. Under light, the black nano has almost a gunmetal grey color where the classic is a much more basic black. This seems to be due to a different sheen on the two devices. The shine on the black nano makes a big difference in darkness between the face and the wheel. I really liked the black nano after seeing it in person and bought that one.

Anyone have more opinions on the red? From what I've been reading and seeing, the red color is nice, but under different lighting, the pinkish tone is a huge turnoff--to the point where some folks are actually returning theirs for a different color.

I love red, but not pink.

Thoughts?

Pictures (even excellent one like those posted here) come close but can't compare to seeing one in real life. I was all set on getting a red nano, but after reading this thread I went to the Apple store to see it in person.

It's definitely dark pinkish from certain angles. Unfortunately, the store has flourescent lights so it's hard to tell how the nano would look in natural light. At best it's a cranberry, light maroon or light burgundy color, not fire engine red or Ferrari red.

I'm still undecided. I like the idea of some $$ going to relief work, so I might get red anyway. OTOH, the black looked really cool in person, MUCH better than pictures convey.

Good luck.

I actually saw the red up close for a couple of days, but forgot how it looked. :eek:

It did change colors, and I don't remember how I felt on the differences. Weird that it goes pink/red.

Manhood??? ;)

Well, if I were a man, I'm assuming I'd be secure also. :D

It's the hesitancy of purchasing a product I really don't need...actually thinking about engraving it too, but not too sure of the whole tilt factor. I never engrave my ipods since I upgrade so much.

I definitely can tell the difference in the two reds. That is an interesting idea to sell the old model to pay for the new one.
