'only' 1000 charges!!!!!???? October 28, 2008

Don't own one, yet. Am thinking about buying one. Just thought I'd comment on the goon who criticised the mere 1000 charges that the product can take! br / br /Using basic maths, and even with varying permutations of usage per day/week, that would still give you in excess of 15 years use!! Not good enough for you?? br /Div. Think before you write...
My first Dabble in DAB September 17, 2008
Bigus Dickus (Hampshire)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I wanted a small portable radio mainly to listen to while getting ready for work in the mornings. One that I could keep mostly in the bathroom that could be used with batteries, so I could take from room to room without the hassle of mains leads etc. br /I have seen a plethora of DAB radio's recently so thought I'd give them a try. I didn't want a 'Brick' that seems to be all the rage in the DAB world, so when I saw the dinky 'Pure Move' I thought it would be pretty much ideal. br /I wasn't wrong, as it truly is portable - it is small enough to carry in a coat pocket the inbuilt lithium rechargeable battery gives a very respectable 40 hours use, which for my measly 30 minutes each morning equates to over 2 months between charges. At that rate, the 1000 charges that the battery can take would equate to over 150 years use! br /I live in Southampton found that it tuned in to approximately 28 DAB stations from my kitchen, which included mostly the usual local BBC radio stations. br /Strangely though when I did another scan upstairs, it found about 10 more stations, although some had a low signal strength? br /It really does depend on where you are, even within your home, which stations you recieve contrary to what I had previously thought, the signal will drop if you're too distant from the DAB transmitter, giving you a gurgling garbled sound. Local all the BBC stations are picked up loud strong though to be honest I generally only listen to a handful of radio station (BBC radio 1-4 Wave 105 etc) br /You can switch between DAB FM and store 10 of your favourites on each. At work I can't recieve hardly any DAB stations but on FM however, I can sometimes recieve several. br /The sound is adequte for a small radio it does have several EQ presets such as Jazz Acoustic etc but really annoyingly, the volume can only be incremented in steps! This can be a tad frustrating sometimes when the audio is either slightly too quiet but the next increment is a tad too loud. I would have prefered a volume control that was much smoother, with many more steps to suit any situation, especially on a radio that cost me 80! br /Using the Pure Move is pretty much like any other digital radio once you've set your favourite 10 channels for both DAB FM, it's a simple case of scrolling through your selections using the central 'joystick' button. br /It can be used with headphones, giving a wonderful rich stereo sound, where transmitted, has an input jack for mp3 players etc, which may be useful for some. br /It would have been nice on a radio of this price bracket to have the ability for it to be used as a radio alarm - this would have been a handy feature for me, especially when on holiday but sadly it is missing, which is a crying shame considering its price. br /in hindsight I am not sure whether DAB was the best route to go, as in all honesty I listen to local radio or the 'big four' BBC radio stations these have a very healthy signal in FM where I live. The FM DAB stations sound EXACTLY the same with equally strong signals, so it sort of begs the question "What's the difference between FM DAB?" br /The difference is that I could have bought an equally good little FM radio (with an alarm function) for about a third of the cost of the Pure Move. br /If you really need the few extra DAB stations or need to listen to TalkSport for instance, then the DAB route is the way to go. For the rest, stick to a good quality FM only radio and save a fortune... br / br /
Good radio with a few niggles September 15, 2008
Nigeupnorth (Manchester, UK)
This is a very good small radio with excellent reception and reasonable sound. I've found DAB very good at home and have therefore never used FM!The battery life is really excellent. br / br /I have a few small niggles with it that prevent it getting a five star rating: br /1) It doesn't have an alarm/ wake-up feature. Given that almost every electrical device in th world now does this I was amazed. Add this and it would be the ideal travel radio/ alarm/ ipod player. br /2) The on-switch is so recessed that I can't believe anyone has needed to use the travel lock! Quite a fiddle to switch on (followed by the usual digital delay as it gets itself going). br / br /This said, I have yet to find anything better, so if you wanta small DAB radio to use on battery, this is recommended.
 great gadget August 21, 2008
Enid Righton (Nottm, UK)
bought this yesterday am pleased to say it has surpassed my expectations. works in every room in the house, garden, shed etc. used it in the car on the way to work (about 15 miles Nottm - Derby) listened to a crystal clear 5live with no interruption all the way there back. The sound wouldnt be good enough if it was going to be my main DAB for the house, nor if I were going to spend time listening to Classic FM, radio 3 etc; but for chat, sport (5live talksport) the occasional dabble with Planet Rock it's perfect. And at 50 BNIB, I'm delighted.

As I travel a lot around the UK I brought this radio to take with me on my travels. I was also hoping it would work well in the car, plugged into the aux socket of the stereo as I like to listen to radio 5 live. So far I have found the radio excellent, audio quality from the built in speaker is good for the size but plug the radio into active speakers or headphones and it's excellent. For people wanting a DAB radio for the car buy this! It works really well in the car I am now able to listen to radio 5 live on Dab instead of AM radio! br / br /All in all an excellent product but shop around I brought mine via Amazon for 45 which considering the quality of build and built in rechargeable battery is a bargain.
