Has anybody used the HPR-20 fm radio?

I was thinking of getting this but was wondering what the quality was like and whether to get it over a normal bluetooth headset. I kind of like the idea of a radio but didn't really want it attached to the phone.

I got one 2 months ago, its okay.. the reception is fair, the tuner is kinda cheap and tricky to use. But my biggest beef is that you cant listen to mp3's through it. Had i known that I probably wouldnt have bought it in the first place.
the new hbh-200 (with bluetooth) looks really sweet though, too bad its not stereo

hope that helps

Thanks for that! :)

What is the quality of the audio like once you have got good reception. Does it compare to CD Quality?

Found the sound quality okay. Reception is very very average. The more annoying thing is the wires! They keep on getting tangled. Grr...
