I’m a little bummed out on the price 🙁  I was hoping for a sub 200 dollar price.

Yeah that is far down on my list..

ill be buying it, love the blue tooth idea. One thing i hated about having to plug your phone into the radio for your music was, when it rang you had to run across the job site to answer it.

Same here, maybe they’ll include it as some sort of combo one day for a good deal or maybe one of those free tool or battery deals. I would buy it and sell whatever else it came with.

It will be a while if that ends up being true

A bundle deal helps get rid of the sting on a tool purchase. The bluetooth is such a huge plus though I really only listen to podcasts or internet radio streams I’m not a fan of what the radio stations are playing around here lately. My favorite station which was alternative rock is playing more Avenge sevenfold, Theory of a Deadman, and Nickleback now 🙁 I’m just not a fan of that kind of music.

I expected it to be more than the current model, but not double 🙁

I wonder if Milwaukee is going to come out with a lower end model, or keep the current one in stores the higher price is going to affect peoples decisions on if they should buy it. Like conductor mentioned the price doubling really sucks. I don’t know if the ability to charge batteries added to the cost. Is that Dewalt radio charger patent still in effect?

I still can’t wait. I’ve been looking forward to this for years

So WHEN is this thing gonna be in stores?

The DeWalt patent must have ran out. About all the radios are charge capable now.
