This review is from: RCA RC130i Clock Radio with Built-In iPod Dock 4G Compatible with iPod and iPhone - Black (Electronics)
For the price, it's a cheap solution for my problems, since I wanted a radio clock with led display. It's not that bright at night, so I don't find any trouble sleeping.
The sound is not that great, but it's not that bad either. I wasn't expecting too much for the price, so I'm quite satisfied. But if you want something with a good sound, I recommend looking for another product.
I don't use the radio function, so I can't really say anything about that.
It worked fine with my iPhone 4(at iOS version 4.3.3) and it had some issues with my iPod Touch 2nd generation(only the play button was functional at first... but somehow everything is working properly now despite the message that is not a compatible device). With both devices the radio clock synced the time correctly.
In short terms: Worked in iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 2nd generation. Is a good product for the price, but if you want a more elaborated product with more sound quality and better design, go for...Read more

Does what it should......after a lot of effort!,

This review is from: RCA RC130i Clock Radio with Built-In iPod Dock 4G Compatible with iPod and iPhone - Black (Electronics)
This is officially my first review....of anything, online. After my most recent aneurism with trying to set the alarm on this device (yes, I have had more than one) I felt it my civic duty to bring my pain and suffering to whomever wants to listen. I purchased this device for my daughter, who has very limited nightstand space. It is small and packs a decent punch, all things considered. The only real issue I have is with how difficult it is to program the alarm function. Even using the provided user manual I eventually made my way to my computer to "google" for help. More than once, the "buzzer" alarm (not the iPod selection I thought I made) would shriek out at midnight! Not good. ANyway, that's my 2 cents + a nickel for inflation.

I was looking for a simple clock radio that would charge my iPhone 4 at night by my bedside, and this one fits the bill perfectly. Here's my quick assessment:
Ease of use: After taking about 3 minutes to read through the one page manual, setting the time, station presets, and alarm time was pretty easy. As advertised, the clock will sync it's time to the iPhone's time every time you dock it, so no more tedious button-pressing. Nice.
Design: I don't like an alarm clock to draw too much attention to itself, so I appreciate this one's small footprint. The adjustable green number readout is not over-bright or obtrusive in a dark bedroom, which is something that the designers of other more obnoxiously bright models should have taken into account. My iPhone 4 is able to dock easily while still in it's case (which is a small form-fitting Belkin model). If you have a larger case such as an Otterbox, you might need to remove it when docking, but I don't own one so...Read more
