I read this thread with amazement. I have a SB Radio on order with Amazon, I placed the order on Sept 3 and simply assumed that a product marketed as a bedside radio (with alarm) would have a snooze button. This is the most basic of functionality. The Boom, of which I have 3, is frankly too

With respect to snooze buttons being for sissies - well, be that at it may, this sissy doesn't always wake up immediately and builds those 9 minutes into the morning routine. Sounds as though I'm not alone in this regard. With respect to the lack of a snooze button being a fatal flaw, I

Considering I would have bought the Radio over the internet it's too much of a risk and simply too much hassle to buy it only to find the knob is not an adequate replacement for a snooze button, so I'll be waiting for the successor Radio II, or buying an alternative to replace my decrepit Sony FM

How about this: The biggest control on the product is a SNOOZE button which is a gigantic button on the front of the unit. Oh, and it can also be used for scrolling. :) ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com

Currently, the mute button (press volume knob) works as a secondary dedicated snooze button. The knob works as a snooze when pressed, but the knob also moves you between menu choices: snooze and turn off alarm, so it might be easy for a sleepy user to accidentally fumble the knob and move it to

I know that its a little late trying to influence the actual product. But for me stuff like backlit buttons and a workable snoozebutton is really important if I'm going to replace my trusty (yet lousy) alarmclock-radio with something that costs ten times as much. Probably the knob does the trick
