XM portable satelite radio 
2007-06-08
I love this radio! I dropped & broke the first one...my bad. I only wanted this same one. Well worth the money.
This radio is superb! 2007-05-24
I had this Hard-wired in my car until recently - (for a year and one half)and still use this unit for walking.
It works great with the car radio - but the frequencies in my area are becoming crowded, so I opted to go with an all-in-one radio with HD in my car so I did not have to run through the FM stations.
Also - it is important to purchase the Belkin Satellite headphones in order to get any reception outside - i.e. when walking. With these, the radio works great as a portable unit. This unit is going into my husband's car now and it works great using the cigarette lighter and the antenna through the FM. We probably will not hardwire it into his car because there is no need to. It has great reception!
I did purchase the extended warranty and have not had to use it. I like this radio ad the battery life much better than my Pioneer Inno.
Great until it needs repair 
2007-05-10
Greatly enjoyed my Delphi XM2go portable for 15 months until the earphone recepticle in the radio became intermittent. Spent lots of time searching, and I have yet to find someone who will repair it. I give Delphi an "A" for design and functionality, and an "F" for customer support. Never again will I buy a Delphi product.
Great service if you never plan on canceling 2007-04-25
I have been a subscriber for 4 years. Back in November my account was turned off due to a billing issue. The week prior to it being turned off I started receiving 3 calls a day for payment. I advised one of the reps to wait a week for the payment, payment was made. Calls stopped for another week. The radio was then turned off and the 3 calls a day started up again. I explained to the bill collectors I owed nothing and when offered to reactivate the radio I told them not to bother, at this point I wanted nothing more to do with XM. They offered me 3 months of free service to come back, anyone who cancels can get this by the way, and I refused. The 3 calls a day continued for the next week, I was informed that it simply takes a week for your name to fall out of their automated system....
2 more months go by and then I start receiving a bill saying that I reactivated my radio and owe for 2 months of service and all the late fees that go with that. 40 dollars. I call in and state I never reactivated my radio, thus I don't owe for reactivating my radio and the 2 months of service that would have followed. The customer service rep told me that it would be taken cared of, 2 weeks later I get another bill. I call back and the rep tells me the same thing and apologizes for my inconveniences. I even called back the next day just to make sure it was finally resolved, and that rep confirmed that I no longer owed anything. So then last month I start receiving COLLECTIONS NOTICES. YOU HAVE ONE MONTH TO PAY THIS BEFORE IT GOES TO COLLECTIONS. I called in and was promised they would look into it and call me back. This apparently has taken care of the issue, though I never received the call back. This week I called 6 times, 3 of which I was promptly hung up on for no reason, and was told each time that it had been resolved. So hopefully this time it really is... To anyone considering XM I suggest you just get an MP3 player.

I've been recording up to 9.5hrs of music with this thing and I also have been using this to record over 12hrs of music at home while I'm on the night shift at work by using the Radio Shark. Most of the time the best styles of music is played while I'm at work so now I'll be prepared when my Uncle Sam sends me overseas. Try this or the other styles of SAT Radios, you might just like it.

Not what I expected 2008-06-09
When I got the XM2GO for Xmas in 2006 I was really wanting it to be what they advertised. Not even close unless you want a car unit. But first, the nightmare of activation. I had two gift certificates for service but the on line activation would accept only one. Plus, nowhere does it advertise the expensive activation fee. So I called the toll free number. The signal was so bad we could not communicate. On the third try I got a person I could talk to but their accent and command of English was so poor we could not understand each other. Two calls later I finally got someone with enough language skills I was able to activate. Then the disappointment began. You can not walk or bicycle with it. Fine. I will use it at work since the primary reason I wanted it was to follow baseball all season. Unfortunately I could not get a signal at work. So, I used it at home with some success although it would lose the signal frequently even though it was not being moved.
Then I got the first bill. Not only was it impossible to figure out what I was paying for, they only credited one of my gift cards. Several calls later I thought the issue was resolved until the next bill which, again, had not credited me for the total of the gift cards. I gave up on phone calls and wrote to XM about the problem. No replies, just another bill for even more than the service should have been for only two months. I wrote again telling them to just cancel the "service". Again, no response except more bills. After a few months of this I sent an expensive certified letter detailing my dissatisfaction and again telling them to cancel the subscription. You guessed it. More bills. I have a thick file on this issue. I sent another certified letter to three addresses and finally, after a few more bills, they quit coming. I really do not know if this is a good unit or not, but I can tell you that if you have any problems XM does not care and offered me absolutely no customer service. Buyer beware.
Poor quality, can't see screen in bright envirnment. 2007-11-05
I have had this for a little over a year and now the unit is turning on and off for some reason. Called Delphi not much help. Put in a new battery and reset all the setting to default and it is still doing it. Also you can not read the screen in the car on a bright day. I would never recommend this product.
Great until it breaks down 
2007-10-03
Like a couple other reviews, I loved mine until it broke. Returned it under warranty and the second one lasted also only about 13 months and dark screen after a few minutes of play time (with a new battery). I'll try an Pioneer Airwave seems that it is compatible with the Lancing docking station which I already own and has great sound. Save your money.
hard to read 
2007-09-19
I have owned this item for 2 years and have always found it difficult to read especially on a sunny day. Not a terrible thing. I just switched to sirius and I do find there music much more to my liking. (classic rock,hard ,alternative). Howard Stern seems much more enjoyable being I have not heard him in 2 yrs. It does have a stock ticker which sirius does not offer on any model that I know of.
Some bugs, but overall very good 2007-09-16
I've had this unit for about 2 years. I use it in the car, at the office, and at home. Some tips: when hooking up to a stereo receiver, use the "tape" jacks, I found this works best. In the car: best to hardwire into the radio via the car stereo "aux input." Have never got it to work well as a Walkman, the little antenna just doesn't work (get signal when jogging one way down a street, no signal jogging back). Overall, very versatile (lots of after-market stuff, ie: desktop cradle with speakers, battery-powered cradle with speakers, both from Altec Lansing, both work great) and has given me good service. I recommend it.
