 So far, so good. November 23, 2008
We got the radio in a couple days - typical excellent service by Amazon. Set it out in the sun for an afternoon and it was ready to go. Camping at Lake Cachuma we tried it out. "High wind advisory . . ." on the weather channel. Oh yeah - the breeze was a-blowin'. The FM radio worked great, receiving several groovey stations. The LED flashlight was bright enough to find the path to the bathroom. I sent the form in for the cell phone adapter and got it quickly. Looking forward to cranking it . . . will it really charge up the Blackberry???? stay tuned.......
 Amazing little radio November 20, 2008
Works as advertised and far better than I expected for the price. I plan on picking a couple up as gifts for this Christmas, they're that good.
The radio even sounds nice from that tiny little speaker. Tuning is easy and I have no problems pulling in every channel that I expected.
The light on it is very nice as well.
My only complaint, and it's barely a complaint at that, is that a rubber or flexible whip-type antenna would probably be more durable. As always, there's a fear of "snapping" it while retracting it.
Everyone Should Have One November 6, 2008

This radio works well. It has a crank to generate charging power for the radio, LED light and mini-usb output. Who cares if it doesn't completely charge your cell phone with four cranks. You'll be using this in emergency situations and glad you have it. If you have a mini-usb charger phone, like most are today, you'll need to buy a mini-usb to mini-usb cable.
It also has a small solar charger on top which should help keep it charged during the day.
Get one. It could come in very handy.

For such a small radio, it does sound good.......but within the range of personal listening. Works time after time on the solar charge, I'm not into the Model T thing, but I guess that works too. Flashlight is ample.
As I have said in other reviews, etons are the best radio values in every price point.
All I have except the Grundig are rechargable and hold their stations well, and are durable. And if you want to use batteries, they last a long time too, This one doesn't even take them, unless I'm missing something.
One last thing: This usually fits in your camera bag along with the other paraphenalia you may have there.
Wonderful portable radio and flashlight! October 24, 2008
We really like this small portable radio/flashlight. I have used both attributes many times. The radio reception is surprisingly good for such a small device. It is also really handy to be able to crank it to get more power when needed, used most often for the flashlight. We are going to give this as gifts to many people this year!
