Comments on: Sirius releases Stiletto 2

Today, Sirius announced the launch of the Stiletto 2, the highly anticipated update to the Stiletto 100, a portable satellite radio that doubles as an MP3 player.

I have the Stiletto 100

And I like it a whole heck of a lot. To hear that this one is 25% smaller with added features really excites me. I really hope they get more creative with their headphones. It was the major drawback from the 100.

Short of My Expectations

Stiletto 2 fell short of my expectations because:
1. The record (e.g. TiVo) feature doesn't work without kit. Called tech support and was told must buy a home/car docking station for this feature to work.
2. Signal strong only in NYC or open field. Strong signal in my office in Manhattan because of Sirius' terestrial signal but spotty reception in my yard in suburbs. Must stand in wide open space and not move to maintain signal.
3. Doesn't pick up all stations via Wi-Fi option. Will pick up good Wi-Fi signal in my house but Sirius has limited availability of stations using the Wi-Fi capability (e.g. CNBC not available via Wi-Fi).
4. Poor customer service. First person I spoke with didn't know Stiletto 2 features. Handed over to another person who didn't understand how it records programs (TiVo feature). Was told to call another number to get an exchange.
