"SOUNDS BETTER THAN "INNO" but not as REFINED"
Pros: Interface is easy to use, Sounds quite good, annnouces channels with a voice
Cons: A little too big, Battery life, NO EQ!!!
Summary: I've had the unit 4 days. The screen looks GREAT,Very easy to read..very pretty screen.
I have an Inno so I kind of compared the Stiletto to the Inno. Maybe it's SIRIUS but the Stiletto sounds MUCH more open, less compressed than The Inno. Plays louder too.
I feel the Inno gets SLIGHTLY better overall reception out doors...but it's almost a tie.
The Stiletto antenna headphones sound a lot better than XM's antenna headphones. One nice feature on the Stiletto is as you change channels..a pre recorded announcer tells you what channel you are on. This can be useful during execrise etc..not having to look at the screen. The interface is very good..near as easy as the ipod. Overall...I really like this thing..BUT mine froze up once. I had to remove the battery and reboot.If you compare the Inno to the Stiletto you will feel the Inno is much more refined..while the Stiletto seems more a work in progress. Having said that? I just sold my Inno in favor of the Stiletto and Sirius. With the slim battery the unit is borderline thin..with the 5 hour battery..the unit is like s brick. However for me 2 hours of live Satellite is OK.
If Sirius can come up with some firmware upgrades this unit will be hard to beat. I'm not sure if it's firmware upgradeble though I think it is. Overall..I feel the Stiletto is quite good..and is very enjoyable to use..and sounds WAAAY better than the Inno..or it's XM?
One other cool, or useful feature is you can rewind..live Sirius. Another words say you listen to a song, or talk radio..you want to hear it again..you can hear it back from where you started and ..well I guess it's like a Tivo, long story short. U won't find THAT on the Inno! If you want portable Sirius...well I guess THIS is it.I had no problem putting mp3s onto the Stilleto. Overall I recommend the Stiletto...I like it!

Why do people who've had a product for two seconds think it's now time to give a review? Give it a few months...then tell us what you really think...
