i've tried the hpr-20 with my P800 in one of the local tradeshows. the sound is bassy, and has more power to it as compared to the hpr-11. treble and bass are adjustable as well. the display helps a lot, now you wouldnt have to guess what station you're tuned in.

overall, it's damn nice.

I've ordered the HPR-20 (UK) and I should get it tomorrow morning. Will post a brief review when I've had a play. You can not see the caller ID on the radio, as it's a simple numeric display - not a pixel screen.

I was wondering if the HPR-20 is available in The Netherlands? I really want it but I don't want to buy it online, because I dont have a creditcard.

i just want to know wether or not putting it on the bottom of the p800 just makes the phone way too big. I thought the hpr-11 was pretty big, and that was on my t68i. plus if i get it i wont be able to use my crappy p800 case, my beuty might get scratched!! In fact that case i got with it is so badly designs, i'm thinking of cutting some holes in it here and there, should sort it out!

Reception's pretty excellent in London. Out in Kingston-upon-Thames (which is in the shadow of Richmond Hill) it's very patchy but no more so than most portable radios.

A friend of mine who has tried earlier Ericsson handsfree radios and slated them tried mine briefly and admitted it was highly improved sound quality. I'm certainly very happy with it. My friend's one remaining gripe was that you don't get to see the station name on the LCD display, only the frequency - which shows you can't please everyone!

I am very happy with mine. Reception is very good although in the future I think I might mod some nicer earphones onto it.

One question for other owners though - do you get what the carry case is about? It has two pockets with a separating piece in between. I can just about squeeze the hpr-20 into it but I have found another use. It is the PERFECT size for the t68i and provides quite a smart and protective case for it.

What do you guys think?

Regards,

Phil.

Do you know what the string is for inside the case?

I think you are supposed to put it through the little material loop next to the zip so that you can carry it like a girl.

Still think it makes a better t68i case though!

I prefer the holster which I'm using so i can attached whatever accessories I want anytime and also put in the pouch can't hear the ringing, must carry it, cannot hang around. By the way do you know what the seperator in the middle for? I use it to wind the wires of my hpm-10 and hpr-20 when keeping them

This is the thing.......I have no idea why it has been designed in this way. Personally I think that the case is to thin for the hpr-20. I also tried winding the wires around it but that meant that I couldn't get the thing in at all!
