It dosent take up much room on the night stand, the green numbers stand out against the unusually darkened clock face, unlike so many that are back lit & it not only comes with many other features like the dual alarms & stereo speakers, although a BOSE it aint, it also does indeed work with my iPhone 3G.

I still get the warning on my iPhone when I dock that it is not compatible with this clock & would I like to turn on the airplane mode, but I still get all the functions that the radio has to offer.

It charges the iPhone, it plays music from my iPhone & it will play music from my iPhone in the sleep mode as well as the wake up alarm mode.

It also will ’show’ me that I have a call coming in but it will not ring. If I dont happen to be looking at the phone when a phone call occurs & see a contact picture or number on the iPhone face, then after a few seconds the iPhone face will go dark again.

This, I can live with. In fact for my particular needs it is great. I work odd hours & often turn off my cell phone so as not to get calls while Im trying to sleep.

The only problem, if there be one, is the clock is a bit complex at first & it takes some time & experimentation to figure it all out.

But the directions are straight forward enough & after awhile it becomes clear.

Im very satisfied with this clock & Im considering getting another for my home office.
