Most people who bought a 1st Gen iPod Classic still have it today; most people who bought a 2008 iPod Nano or any other model has butchered it for one reason or another.

It's fine techically. It syncs ok, battery life is still great and up until the past couple of weeks, it was fast. Then it just slowed up. Just hoping a fresh restore and sync will get it back up to speed.
As for the point Gerard made, I'd ditch it when I'm out if I had an iPhone. I like my playlists etc that are based around play counts (yes, I love statistics and what not) and I don't know if it's possible to have that integration with Android. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but I've always just preferred iPod over phone. But like I said, if I had an iPhone (32GB would be nice) then I wouldn't have to bother with all that, just sync and go. Everything inside iTunes would be updated nicely. Also I would bet money on the iPhone being better battery wise.
The more I sit discussing this, the more I lean towards an iPhone. I'll probably just get one when the iPhone 5 is released and be done with it, or get an iPhone 4S on the cheap.
