I need a good iPhone 3g alarm clock, 100$ budget

[jlake02]

i use the iLuv iMM173. It's $130 but works nicely. I have had some issues with it locking up when you put the 3G on it, but other than that it's been an amazing clock.

- dimmer switch
- input jack
- dual dock
- remote

I bought the Pure-Fi. It works great, no interference from the iPhone and sounds okay for an alarm clock.

Is the iLuv iMM173 iPhone 3G compatible? I'm trying to decide between this and the Sony clock radio as a gift for my wife.

Yes, it is HOWEVER, be warned that a high number of people have reported that this thing LOCKS UP when an iPod or iPhone is docked in it requiring a complete 'power cycle' causing the clock to have to be adjusted. Unless the Manufacturer has fixed the problem (can anybody verify this?) I would suggest you stay well clear of it if the accuracy of an alarm in the morning is important to you - which would possibly suggest it IS given that you're looking at something with a clock on it!!

Also, it only supports ONE iPhone at a time, whereas it supports TWO ipods, or an iPod + an iPhone. Both my wife and I have iPhones so this thing was looking to be a winner in our house, however with the lockups and the lack of support for two iPhones meant this was a no-go.........a real shame to be honest, it looked so good on paper!!

I tried to search for the model number, and couldn't find it. After some digging, I realized you left out a letter. Just so other people can find it, the actual model number is ICF-C1iPMK2.

Thanks for the info.


Here's a review and pics for the OP.

How is the dock on this? Will an iphone with a case fit in there without any problems?

My local Target has a display model. Yours probably does too. Just bring your phone (and case) with you.
The sound on the Sony was the only decent one amongst the ones I tried at Target. I didn't try it with the case, because I don't keep the case on 24/7.
