exactly as expected June 29, 2008
Wanted a light, packable radio for hiking over multiple nights (mostly for weather)...clear sound, solar charge works well, tuner not overly sensitive, hand crank not to flimsy either. As advertised.
Small, stylish, works well! June 25, 2008

Great functionality, flashlight is bright, sound and reception are good, handcrank comfortable, worked right out of the box. The handcrank folds down along the back, which is nice. The flashlight turns on using a handy button on the top. The red is slightly metallic so this looks a lot more stylish than I thought it would - bonus!
Rubber-covered inputs on the side are a headphone jack, a mini-usb port and a mysterious one with a picture of a cellphone. I realize you can send in a card to get a plug that fits your cellphone (though I doubt they can accomodate an iphone) and presumably that cable fits there, but there was also an unexplained short cable that came in the box that I could not tell you what it was for.
Love it! June 20, 2008

Smaller than I expected. You can fill out a form and provide them with your cell phone model and they'll mail you the correct charger adapter. I haven't had to wind it once, the solar panel doesn't need direct sunlight, in the shade it works great! $30 is a steal!
Compact and powerful June 19, 2008

This little radio is smaller and handier than I thought.
It is powerful, and yet easy to take along.
A bargain at this price.
I am so glad I ordered it...

Great little device! Smaller than expected. Sturdy, with good AM reception and loud volume. Light and solar panel appear to work as well.
One problem - you need an adapter to charge your cell phone, but I can't find the adapter anywhere (amazon, ebay, etc). So, the cell charging functionality is null. If you find it please let me know and post it here!
