I want a Sirius satelite radio, but I want a handheld one that I can have in the car, gym, home, etc....
I see the handheld ones and they are around $100, but do they have all the features the other units have ? And they are $10 a month, right ?
I want it for when Howard Stern changes stations and to listen to Nascar :D

Sirius brand rcvr ( sportster ) pkg deal ( w/ car kit ) at Circuit City for like $89 after rebate ( still haven't received yet ), but that was some time back. Home kit (cradle,pwr supl) another half a bill, and then external roof antenna off ebay for another half a bill cause the window one that came w/ home kit not worth a crap on reception ( but i did throw that in my wrk truk dash.. wrks decent ). I take the head unit inside the house after parking the car and keep on listening. Still came out ahead from friend who picked up a deal at wally world with a clarrion/sirius setup as far as the car kit goes. :D
Overall a good source for more than I'll ever listen to. Oh, and the uncensored comedy chanel plays some good laughs 24/7. As for H.S., I could care less for him, but that's just my view. And the subscription price is more like $12/mo, and billed in quarterly, semi, or anual payments. Not sure of single month to month. My cc statement comes with a $42 charge every three mo. I think xm was the ten dollar one. Somebody had told me sirius had a few more channels than them, but i never bothered to compare.
Get whichever you want, i'm sure they both will keep you tuned in.

I am a big fan of Sirius. We have it in every boat stock in fact.
I don't know about the handheld units. I saw a couple at Circuit City that I didn't know the brand name on. Looked like Sirius made it.
I know that all of the really good Delphi stuff is for XM, but Sirius is close behind, and the programming is ten times better.
I will ask my guy at Sirius for you.

So none yet.... :devil: :cool: :rolleyes:
Muahahahahaha
Had Sirius in my last truck, it was pretty cool. Most of my driving now is local, so i prefer the local stations to keep up w/ traffic and dont have it.

I saw some hand held ones and they look like they are cooler than the iPods !! (I hate iPods though)
I just think it would be cool to be able to run around the rose bowl listening to nascar on my satelite radio ;) F YEAH !!
So, does anyone have any experience with these pieces ?
