"Almost Perfect"
Pros: Excellent reception in a tiny package
Cons: No FM Mod outside car
Summary: I love this radio. I mean love it. The reception I get in my area is stronger than FM, I get reception outside, inside, without windows, in elevators, on the subway. I had the 1st generation MyFi and this just blows that one away. No FM Modulation w/o a car kit is disappointing but after my initial shock I realize I've had the radio for 6 months and haven't thought once about the FM Mod since the first week. It just isn't needed and like all the tuners, FM Mod doesn't deliver the sound quality that direct connect does. Face it, FM Mods are going away on SatRadio tuners, the FCC is making sure of that. This is smaller than an iPod, holds about 1000 XM tunes and has a remarkable UI. I use this way more than my 50" HDTV. It's that good.
