black...back has a mirror finish, so fingerprints stick pretty easy...no biggie though...

Mine, also black engraved, on schedule for delivery tomorrow.

Engraved are shipped straight from the factory in China.

What is so funny is Apple made (forgive me if numbers are a bit off) like 7-1 WHITE Nanos because they didnt think the black would sell (due to the U2 ipod).. From what I hear the black is outselling the white by 8 to 1 or something like that. (which is probably why yours came from china)

I ordered one engraved last Thursday and they tried to deliver it to me on Monday. I figured it would be a week or so at least (it's a gift for my wife). They wanted it signed for though so UPS wouldn't leave it, I'm going to pick it up in about an hour.

Too bad the u2 had a red dial.. that looks terrible.

Exact same thing as my iPod... china -> alaska -> my house, 3 days.

Yessss, the black one is hot. Everything I've ever ordered from apple either ships from China or Taiwan. I ordered my PowerBook last year, and pretty much got it overnight (I'm in Alaska).

They come from China because of the engraving.

Yeah, I usually get quick shipping on iPod's from China. It's faster than ordering a Mac and having it shipped from California, which makes no sense at all.
