AUDIOVOX RC85i RCA Clock/Radio 7inch Display iPod/iPhone

I recieved this clock as a gift. I have been very happy with it. I have not had any problems with it freezing. I use the alarm function every day.I use it to charge my Ipod at night while I listen to music on the radio or ipod. The speaker isn't the greatest, but it's only a little clock radio so I don't expect much. I have hundreds of photos loaded on an SD card that plays as a slide show. I love looking at the photos as I go in and out of the bedroom during the day. It only took about 5 minutes to set up the photos. The Ipod charging station is very cheaply built. Poorly fitting plastic. I feel like I might break the thing every time I place the Ipod on it. My favorite thing about this radio is that it gets great reception. I live in an area with poor radio reception. However, this RCA radio will pull in many radio stations without any static at all. This was the main selling point for me. I compared this radio to a similar Sony radio. The Sony had very poor radio reception.

I really love this clock, so it's a shame I have to give it a bad review. All of the features work as advertised, and the interface is slick and easy to use. But, it has crashed twice since Christmas, both times at night, and one of those times caused me to be late to work. Now I have to use my phone as a "backup" alarm clock, which is silly.

If there were a firmware update that corrects this, I'd give it five stars.

Nice alarm clock that locks up even while idle in alarm clock mode. Go figure; the most important function is unreliable. The Sony ICF-CL75iP is virtually identical and has the same problem.
