You want to buy many battery packs but not spend too much money? Using
coupon code maybe one of the best way for you.

This is the point we are making. We have been told that the Radio
Battery ships with a slightly different remote, that looks the same on
the outside, but has different internals. Now if that was me, i would
change the part number.
Don't get me wrong, i think these Slim / Logitech players are
fantastic, and they have changed the way that i listen to music. They
fully deserve to dominate the mass market, but in order to do that, you
have to ensure that new plays nice with old and Vice-versa.
I expect that the volume control bugs being reported, can and will be
fixed by a firmware update. Once they are, KEEP the code, and base any
new players on the existing code.

This is just a guess, but...

If there really is a new Boom remote that uses the original SB type of
real repeating codes, it wouldn't surprise me if any new Boom or Radio
accessories (and Booms themselves) ship with this new remote.

Thanks for the links. But I tried my "new" remote and a couple of Boom
remotes, and they all behave the same. I also opened them up, and they
ALL have the same part number.
If they are supposed to be shipping an upgraded remote, then someone at
Logitech has goofed again.
However the whole idea behind the original Slim design, was that all
devices could be operated by other remotes in the product range. If they
have changed the design, because the Radio can't use them, then this is
a mistake IMO. If it ain't broke, then don't fix it.

Here's a suggestion for those that don't think they'll use the extra
remote... especially if your radio's "home base" is in a bathroom. I
have mine plugged in at one end of the bathroom, but it's not near the
"throne" because there's not a plug there. I keep the remote within
reach of the throne for those times when you ...ummm... end up staying
in there a little longer than expected, you can have some tunes! :o

Some batteries do have two copies of the sticky label, thus making a
tight fit into the Radio's battery compartment even tighter. (The tight
fit is needed to eliminate battery movement in the compartment.) 

If this prevents proper battery fit into the compartment, removing the
top label is a reasonable solution. I'll update the installation wiki to
include this.

Ordered from the UK in the evening by order acknowledged at 04.54 on
02/25/10  in some distant part of the Internet.
Arrived 11/00 today, 2 March.
So Thursday to Tuesday, shipped from Luxembourg.

Clear heavy plastic packaging with a neat opening: not the usual
struggle with a Stanley knife.

Comments.
It's a squeeze to fit in (what do you expect given the brand?), indeed
impossible until I realised that two copies of the sticky label had been
attached on top of each other.
And the battery cable needs a half-turn twist...

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Battery is shipping!

2010-03-02 Thread andynormancx

Mine arrived yesterday, it was very nicely packaged, I've never seen a
blister pack with a tear off panel on the back before. Spotted it just
before I reached for the knife to hack into it...

The battery pack itself is much better put together than anything I'd
have achieved myself, it has a a foam rubber wrap as well as shrink
wrap, so that the ends are padded to stop it rattling.

I charged it over night and today my Radio is finally portable.

Here's hoping that Logitech split out the battery from the remote at
some point, I don't really want to buy a new remote every two years.
Though I guess with the Logitech pack I have a good starting point for
just replacing the cells when they die and replacing the shrink wrap
with gaffer tape.

I agree, I don't understand why they don't have this ready for all
countries. Its not like the Radio was just released last week.

I know third party batteries will show up eventually, but in Canada we
have to pay duty and taxes on imported items. With the stackable 15% and
10% off coupons and no duty from Logitech.ca orders - the price for the
remote and battery isn't too bad.

Because it makes sense from a logistics and cost point of view.

taking the remote out of the pack would reduce the cost by only a
couple of £/€/$. It would also mean they needed another pack for the
remote which would probably cost £/€/$20 on it's own, if not more
because of the logistics and non BoM (Bill of Materials) costs.

don't think about it as being forced to buy a battery and a remote, you
buy a battery and get a free remote. for those just looking for a
remote, there are other options, all the other Squeezebox remotes will
work, so will a harmony or even a universal remote that has Squeezebox
codes or a JVC DVD player mode (this is legacy support because the very
first player, the SliMP3, came with a universal remote and the server
responded to JVC DVD codes).

Has anyone actually received a shipping confirmation e-mail?
I received the initial e-mail,but no CC charge yet, and no shipping
info.

I am always amused at how people value products.  You have a high-end
computer, costing thousands, a PS3 or Wii and many games, pay way to
much for broadband service, and a complete cable tv packagebut wont
spend an extra
$10 because the remote costs too much.  As an elder who grew up
listening to static and fading shortwave radio, this technology is a
"miracle" and I am thankful everyday for my listening options. And all
at no cost, so spend the
$10.

It's actually a lot worth that this in my case. Radio was £115
(delivered) and battery is £53.50 (delivered). I guess they are taking
the iPad business model which seem to be sell the hardware at a good
price and make money on the accessories!

The battery pack cells are never-burst-into-flames-like-Li-Ion NiMH:

Whether they're "cheap and nasty" I cannot say. Certainly nicer than
the heavy and environmentally awful Pb battery in my server's UPS.

I used 2dugnfd46 from www.topcashback.co.uk to get 15% off. I don't know
if it works without following the link from topcashback.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Battery is shipping!

2010-02-25 Thread mpower9

I just ordered the battery from for delivery in the US: 

http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/speakers_audio/wireless_music_systems/devices/6066&cl=us,en

I used a general Logitech coupon code: MIR15
It worked to give me 15% off which was more than enough to cover the
postage. It is supposed to be good till 3/31/10.

I suspect the only thing Logitech will pay much attention to is whether
they sell as many as expected or they just sit on the shelves. They'll
not change the price (or the fact the battery & remote are packaged) if
people complain but still end up buying.

I do not think Logitech would put out an important e-mail announcement
like this to its loyal and faithful customers with that kind of
errorthey are a big respected company and they would not be that
careless. They do make very sophisticated computer programs and devices,
so...they would be right on top of details like this. I am sure they
hire competent individuals to write these notifications. Don't you
think? 

I am looking for my battery to be coming very soon if it was scheduled
on February 24th! I trust them.

As always, to add insult to injury, it's 50% more expensive.
