After all the positive comments I went and ordered one too!

Just checking the DHL tracking system though, it looks like my little Bug left Milton Keynes yesterday, went up to the Hams Hall distribution centre last night and arrived back down to the local depot in London at 07:15 today. Now, normally the next stage would be "out for delivery", but instead it says "security check". Has anyone else had this in their tracking history? Should I be worried? What are they doing to my poor defenceless Bug? :eek:

fancy that! poor Bug! probably being strip searched in London there's just no need!!!!!

Well, after a 3-hour long interrogation the Bug is finally "out for delivery" - Yay!!

I'm beta testing version 2.0 and it is so much better than 1.2 and 1.3 beta 50. The EPG is much easier to navigate and you can record the buffer again.

I think recording 1 minute of radio equals 1mb.

Gorilla, where about did you find the version 2.0 software upgrade?

I'm guessing he volunteered to be a beta tester here :

It's not available generally yet.

My wee Bug arrived today, but the screen doesn't seem to work The right half of the display shows one eye when you turn it on, but the left stays blank.

Bit disappointed as I guess since the grey has sold out, they'll only offer me a refund.

I'll email them anyway and see.

Don't you want the white one? I like my white one :cool:

I'm pleased you like your white one , I'd have it too if I hadn't spent years getting every piece of equipment I own in black/grey/silver. I even put off getting an iPod until they were available in black

Amazon have indeed offered me a refund as I thought they would, (no mention of my £5 gift certificate I used though). Pure have said as Amazon have stock (which they don't, and I pointed this out in the email) I should get them to exchange it. Sending it to Pure, would have a 20 day turn around and would mean my brand new item would have a repair before I've even used it!

I'm going to try again

whoever

So how much better is this model than say the Hitachi TRK100 http://www.richersounds.co.uk/showproduct.php?cda=showproduct&pid=HITA-TRK100
which is half the price ?
Just wondering whether I can justify the extra £40 on the Bug??

Seems the grey one is back in stock but at the new price of £121.64..yikes!!

I knew you men would prefer the grey one.. :rotfl: my OH has no choice in the matter.. the radio is mine!! can understand that a white bug would feel severely !!!!!! off among all grey/silver stuff so best off leaving them alone eh?!

Hope you get your grey one then.. let us know if you do and what you think! I've just been cleaning in the kitchen (no surprise there then) and whacked it right up.. these DAB's are a real revelation aren't they? proper good quality! :T
