Great concept but only worked for about 2-3 weeks.

I have used the Sony pocket radio for years and loved it. I needed a new one as I've dropped it too often. The new style was great with push buttons to set, AM/FM plus Weatherband. It was so easy to change stations that I do regularly. My excitement didn't last long. If I bent the wrong way it turned off the radio and/or changed stations. I could live with that. Then it started to "buzz" then would turn off automatically often. After about 15-20 minutes it came back on for a short time, I changed the battery and less than a week it was doing the same thing but more often. I returned the radio. I found the Sony radio I had before this that worked great. I still have a Sony Walkman radio and cassette player that I never had a problem with it. Very disappointed in the quality of this radio. Great idea for a pocket radio if it worked. I hope Sony improves this radio by the time I am ready to purchase another one.
