Yes, there is a "plastic bomber" and the retro design in the style of an old "steam radio" is a matter of taste - I like it. The display could be easier to read (streaming tape blurs) and I miss a tone control (more ups would in some musical genres pleasant). Well, with me, the radio is in the bathroom and for the sound quality was good enough. But: For about 110 euros (as of December 2013) obtained a hefty dose of art. The built-in DAB + receiver provides here a large number of broadcasters in outstanding quality. Also, the FM receiver is doing what he should. For DAB and FM each 20 station presets can be stored - that's plenty. About Bluetooth can be transmitted to the radio not only music from the iPhone or iPad. There is also a free app from Philips for iOS with which the radio can be remotely controlled in its (almost) complete functionality via iPhone or iPad. Here, all information from the display of the radio (RDS text, sender, artist, etc.) are then read even the display of the iPhone. Thus, the Philips is ORT2300C / 10 radio, which is technically very far despite Retro Design from good old steam radio and also of many current radios. One point I draw from the lack of sound regulation and unwieldy instructional leaflet.
