1 out of 5 stars   Too bad, sounded great

Review submitted for Sony HID-B70T Dash Information Alarm Clock Brown (SNHIDB70T)
Pros: Good Volume, Nice stand alone clock
Cons: Many apps don't work, Difficult To Set, Very slow processor, Very bad touchscreen, Very bad user interface, Low resolution screen
Other Comments: Sounded like a great device. The touchscreen is not sensitive at all and combined with the very slow processor speed the thing feels as If it was locked up half the time. The apps many times don't work from lack of support from developers. It is a great big bright clock with many many designs. But even as an alarm its not easy to work. And a a nightstand clock it's too bright at night. Too bad, sounds like a great IDEA.

3 out of 5 stars   Slick radio, lousy registration/support

Review submitted for Sony HID-B70T Dash Information Alarm Clock Brown (SNHIDB70T)
Pros:
Cons: Difficult To Set
Other Comments: Bought for son for Christmas and spent the next 2 days trying to register and set it up. DON'T register at Sony.com (which would be the natural thing to do). You need to register at Sony Essentials, and Sony/Dash which takes you to dash.chumby website. If you are going to register at Sony.com, do it LAST. If you do make that mistake, re-register (not at sony.com) using a different email address. Write down all of your exact registration info like registration code, passwords,upper/lower case, etc, because by the time you are done, you will be glad you did. You can manage your apps at the the chumby site. It is much faster than on the Dash itself, but the site is only so-so. Sony could (and should) do a much better job. Customer service live chat, while very polite and willing to try, hasn't been given much training on this unit, if any at all. The radio is just that, a pretty slick radio/alarm clock. Don't expect it to be a tablet, and you'll be fine. The only thing we're still not sure of, is if it can be set to wake up to Pandora radio, sounds a little silly if it can't, but we're still trying to figure it out. If you're willing to be patient and can restrain yourself from not "dash"ing the radio against the wall at registration, you'll be ok.
