I have to agree about the backlit buttons, a real mistake for an alarm/radio box. The alarm/sleep/snooze implementation is also poor, horribly fiddly, misleading and badly thought out.
On the plus side though the screen is superb and the seperate volume and nagigation knob an obvious advantage over the Booms hacked single-knob implementation. However, the reason I've given up using my radio as my bedroom alarm clock and stuck the too-large Boom back on my small bedside table is that the radio screen is too bright to sleep next too and (unlike the Boom) it is not possible to reduce its minimum brightness. It's a real shame, the Radio is so nearly brilliant, but for me the stupid (and totally unnecessary) flaws make it impractical for use. I have trouble understanding how it could have been released with what appear to be very damaging but easily solvable software flaws (backlit buttons excepting, obviously). There must something quite awry with Logitech management that really needs sorting out if this product line is to continue with any success. While I'm here, the Facebook stuff (app.. ha ha ha) is just plain stupid. Whichever Logitech manager was responsable for that should be taken outside and shot. MC -- ModelCitizen Think the third party Squeeze plugins and applets are important? Then 'vote for bug 14194' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14194) so more can be made.
