The kit comes with a USB cable which allows you to connect to your computer and update the firmware (the internal programming that operates the radio). Thus, any minor glitches can potentially be fixed, and functionality can improve, as opposed to the necessity of buying a new radio to get advances in technology. The Samsung Nexus 50 XM radio is well worth the expense, due to its portability and versatility. from Amazon.com Having been an XM subscriber for almost three years now I enjoy buying XM units to see and hear the differences between the units that the company markets. I had read decent things about Samsung Nexus 50 hour, and I got a good deal on ebay so I decided to get one. Pros - from Amazon.com This radio will not function as a satellite radio without using the docking stations. While portable it only plays recordings on the internal memory. The radio does come with a home docking station but you will have a hard time finding the car kit because all Samsung XM hardware has been discontinued as of early 2007. Not only that but the car kit is large and awkward for use in a car. from Amazon.com First XM offers superior music to Sirius, sounding better, stronger stereo signal. Unless you absolutely must hear Howard Stern, XM is the better choice for music fans. Second, this package from Samsung is well-designed with all the features you need to get on XM from your home. Remember the unit cannot tune in live XM while you walk around, only when it is docked. from Amazon.com It records XM music at a fairly low bitrate (128 kbps), which does not give you a high quality recording. It could be that XM's signal doesn't broadcast at a higher bitrate, which would mean this limitation isn't the product's shortcoming, but rather XM's. The user interface (a 'special' version of Napster) can be extremely frustrating in terms of getting it to recognize the Nexus device until you realize you have to start the software and plug in the device in a particular order, which the user manual doesn't tell you - neither did customer support at either Samsung or Napster. In fact, I was told things about the device and the software that were so clearly wrong as to be sadly comical. from Amazon.com The Samsung Nexus 50 does exactly what it is suppose to do. I have had no problems with the unit. from Amazon.com unit cradel is bulky and i was told you could recieve xm portabley any were you cant this is just a in house or in car unit so if you are looking for a tre xm portable unit buy a different model unit is two peace design which is also a hasle so pay the extra money and get the latest and best buy samsung which is the same as the pionner same unit with pionner name stamped on it from Amazon.com I've had my Samsung Nexus 50 for a few weeks. I am impressed from Amazon.com I'm sure this item would have received a 5 star rating if I had used it; I have found Samsung products to be very good. I did not use this item because of the additional charge it would have added to my XM Satellite Radio Subscription. from Amazon.com I feel the receiver comes short on many features and with it's portability. I noticed the price of these have already gone down substantially since the holidays, and some retailers have already stopped carrying them. It should be interesting to see if Samsung and XM continuing with this design. Hopefully they will address some issues and create a receiver worth while. from Amazon.com
