Pros & Cons
Pros
Bluetooth works well, and is a very useful feature. No complicated menus to navigate, just a streamlined set of mechanical controls. The bluetooth is iffy, as most bluetooth devices without touchscreen controls are.
Am/fm radio works well and picks up most radio stations clearly. Bluetooth connectivity is a cinch on my samsung galaxy. My only 'complaint' is the inclusion of a telescoping antenna.

Packaging/appearance
I also appreciated that the packaging was almost all recyclable except for the plastic wrap
