I bought this clock radio/dock for my wife and it is very compact and functional. My wife wanted a compact unit that would serve as a clock radio and would be able to play and charge her iPod. It manages all these things very well in the most compact unit that I could find available on Amazon. The build quality appears to be good, the sound quality whilst not being outstanding is certainly acceptable, although it would not fill a large room (hardly surprising at this price and in this small a unit).
The display is slightly unusual as it is black on grey, it can be dimmed at night such that it is no longer visible so good for anyone who likes no light at all to go to sleep. The medium setting would probably suit most people as the brightest does light up a significant part of the room.
As we now have 3 units of this type in the house it seems fair to do a bit of a comparison:
Phillips DC190 - cheaper than this unit but bigger and less solidly constructed - sound quality similar as are features.
Phillips AJ300/DB - more expensive but by far the best and biggest sound. Better laid out controls and good build quality. Display will be too bright for may in the bedroom but we have this in the kitchen and the sound it produces in quite a big room is terrific.
Sony ICF05IP - Most compact and decent build quality as mentioned above. This is also the most like a traditional clock radio but with an iPod dock added on top, which may suit many people.
Having provided 4 star reviews for all these units on Amazon based on what you get for your money I think the choice is down to what you expect and are prepared to pay, as all 3 do a good job.

After much searching, and a huge amount of bother with a DAB version, this little box does exactly what it says on the tin. It is simple to set up, simple to change alarm times, you can turn down/off the backlight (so that you can actually sleep), it is reliable, and has a battery back-up so you will be woken when there is or has been, a power cut. It will even charge/wake you to an ipod/iphone if that's your thing.
The sound quality is fairly average, but if you need to be woken by John Humphreys in full high fidelity you may want to reassess some other aspects of your life. As a bonus this really does look quite good, it is clean, smooth and unobtrusive.
Overall, this does tick all the boxes; it's a radio/alarm for people who just want to know the time and be woken by the radio. But do look elsewhere, it's remarkable how nobody but Sony seems to cater for this demographic.

Two more things worth mentioning...
A most useful 'BST' button on the back which toggles the time an hour forwards / backwards to avoid having to fathom out re-programming the clock twice a year for British Summer Time changes.
... and a built-in rechargeable lithium cell to cope with power cuts - in case you forget to regularly change the 9v battery back-up that most other radio/alarms use.

Great for iPhone 3g
Great product, slim design. Only con in my opinion is that I can't seem to change it into 24 hour mode and that you can only pre- set one alarm. Read more

Bad screen design.
The clock is small, sounds good and does works well with an iphone 4. The problem is that the viewing angle for the display is from the horizontal up to vertically above the clock. Read more
