- Good points:
- Sound quality is brilliant, design is good, remote control for internet radio.
- Bad points:
- Fidelio app is annoying and you can't switch it off. Sometimes takes an age to connect to the dock, connector that android plugs into could be better.

- Good points:
- The design is not earth shattering, but it is serviceable, on the sleek side of things. The sound however is quite nice, I am very happy with it, crisp, deep and fills the lounge quite well. Loving the bluetooth functionality, my Galaxy Nexus becomes a touch remote for volume, skipping songs, changing stations etc.. really convenient.
- Bad points:
- I would like the micro USB dock to act as data bridge as well, it is merely for charging. This mens you're obliged to use Philips' Fidelio app to connect via bluetooth if you want to play music. Like I said I like the bluetooth feature, but also want the option to not use it if I don't want to. Can take up to 30 seconds for Fidelio to pair up, which is a lifetime when you want to show it off to friends and you're trying to big up the tech. Lastly on the negative side, Fidelio keeps prompting to pair up when I unlock my phone at work, considering the dock is 4 miles away, it should pipe down when its not in range.
