mmr-60's have been recalled in Brisbane, has anyone else heard of mmr-60's being recalled? Maybe there have been some faulty batches slip past quality control?

That's strange. There is no "Contact by Email" in Sony Ericsson website. It's been removed  . And they didn't answer my question that I asked bofere the Email link was removed. |

I checked with SE in the US and they said that there has been no recall on this.
I just got mine today. Its silver in color and not the white that I thought it would be. I'll do some testing and let you guys know how it is. |

Yes it connects to the phone using fastport. |

does your mmr-60 have a fastport connection so you can plug the charger in while it's connected to the phone |

so no recall in the US then? That's a good sign. It's hopefully only a local batch of faulty units we received in brisbane.

unfortunately it doesn't. Once you connect the fm transmitter, then nothing else can connect to the phone.
I must say that I'm somewhat dissappointed with the MMR-60. The strength of the transmitter doesn't seem to be that strong. And I'm not finding the qualilty that great also.
However, this could all be due to the fact that I couldn't find a clean station as every other station has some broadcast on it. |

reception is improved a lot if you turn off the display light on the mmr-60 apparently. However lack of strength is also a common plaint in reviews (see the review thread for the mmr-60)

I have one and it works well.
There is no fast port adaptor on the bottom of the casing. That was in prototype models and was obviously a marketing mistake to include it.

got mine a few days ago, and it works fine, you have to find a clear channel, but you can specify down to .00(i.e. 88.35 Mhz). and adjust the phone position for best reception. good quality mp3's are clear and loud.

Blueunplugged now have them in stock, for UK customers:
http://www.blueunplugged.com/[....]R_60_FM_Music_Transmitter.aspx
Be careful of them though, they dont offer any sort of refunds unless the item is faulty. Can be a bit of an arse to deal with them too.

Get one from Blueunplugged.com or get one off Ebay? Has anyone purchased one from Ebay? Are they any good or are they dodgey fake ones? |

The ones from blueunplugged will be of a good quality, the ones on ebay might not be, theres been a few QA issues and recalls on many MMR-60s.
The downside to blueunplugged, is that they offer no refunds policy unless the item is faulty. By UK law they cannot refuse to give the customer a refund, but then, do you have the time to take action against them if the item you receive doesnt live up to expectations ?
I got my Belkin Tunecast II from them, and although they said it was not faulty, they would not give me a refund because i wasnt happy with the poor quality of the reception. I didnt have the time to get into a dispute with them, and decided to keep the Tunecast (since it was less than £40, and is usable) instead.
Now im wondering whether its worth the risk of buying a MMR-60 just for the convenience of having a SE transmitter, instead of the Tunecast + 3.5mm adaptor + 3.5mm extention cable + K750i. If the MMR-60 does have poor reception like so many people have reviewed it as, it might be another waste of money..
