    Me too, I think it is a very cool design.

    Looks really cool,
    I like it, however this little radio uses so much space just to have this slider...

    back again...

    i can't stop looking at... i think it is really clever! i don't know anything about it, but i thk it would be neat if remote controlled that it would slide up and down to presets, sort of an inverse bs9000.

    great out of the box (pun intended) thinking! -reminds me of what attracted me to b&o.

    ok, going back to look again!

    Sorry to be so contrary, but I've looked at this a few times, and I think it's awful.

    Well if we all liked the same things then the wrold would be a very boring place Andy. As for this design I think it is one you either love or hate. There is no in between so to speak.

    Maybe "Toblerone" shaped would have been better!

    Oh yeah i agree, the fusion of two different shapes is what makes up B&o!;)
