Does anyone have an Email or Web address for Pure?  I think Ian's comment about 
writing to them is a good one and I intend to do so.

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
