The guy who looks after my computer purchased a pure after seeing my sonus,
not a sonus but it was because he saw the quality of mine that he bought one
of their models.

A sighted friend of mine saw my Sonus for the first time yesterday and was
very impressed both by its speech and its sound. It would be good if Pure
could set up their other radios so that Ivox could be added as an additional
download.

Here here, Adrian, and write and tell them how good it is too. For once a
commercial company has made a genuine response to a demand from a section of
the market and personally I think they should get all the encouragement we
can give them for having done so. After all, we're rightly quick enough to
tell them when they get it wrong.

I bought myself a sonus for christmas and am extremely inpressed so much so
I'll more than likely buy another for downstairs later in the year. I found
it online for £95 including delivery so you can get it for less than the
£120RRP which RNIB charge without having to register with tapesense. I got
mine within 48 hours of ordering. I'd urge anyone considering getting a DAB
radio to go for the Sonus to proove to Pure that there is a demand and then
they might eventually be able to commercially justify extending the ivox
technology in to other models.

Hi Graham,
The latest news from Pure is disappointing. They have no plans to extend
the iVox speech into other of their products because, they say, it's
performance in terms of sales has been, in their terms disappointing. This
is sad, not least because the most recent addition to their catalogue is a
personal DAB/FM receiver with much the same functionality as The Bug kitchen
model. So you can rewind, pause and record DAB to an SD card. But it's
display is extremely VI unfriendly and it relies more heavily than other
models on menus.
Having said this, in my experience across the board, once you've mastered
the principle of DAB sets, it's pretty easy to apply it.
Cheers now.
Ian

Hi
I have a talking pure radio. Very nice radio)
I now wish to purchase another but with the FM tuner built in. As far as I
can see pure do not make a talking one with this option.
Do any of you use a non talking FM one and is it fairly easy to use with no
sight.
Regards
Graham
