I had never seen one until one went for a little over $100 bucks just a few weeks ago, now a second one has showed up on ebay. Always wary about sellers who say the radio is "untested" but it does have a really low starting bid. Might be worth a gamble if bidding stays low.
The audio quality of this radio is excellent for its size. In general, this is a great wifi radio. And this review is rather laughable.
WHY would you review a wifi radio and mostly just talk about FM reception? When, in fact, having FM reception is a little bit of a bonus, not the main purpose of this fine machine.
I don't live in a DAB country, so I can't speak to that, but after owning the WFR-28 for just a few days I am blown away by the performance and build quality of this audio gadget. I found the controls intuitive, the audio excellent, and the display quite good. If you need pretty pictures on your screen, or pandora, get something else. Otherwise, this is one fine 21st century "radio."
I purchased a 35-pound GoFit kettlebell recently and it came with a DVD one of Bob Harper's 30-minute workouts. I learned some moves I hadn't picked up from looking at YouTube and whatnot. Four days a week of these 30 minutes is a serious way to build muscle and shred fat. Now if I can just cut back on my carbs and sugars . . .
Putting the Seiko Black Monster 2nd Generation, Seiko Sumo and Orient M-Force 1st Gen together to look at size and shape. All of great lume, reasonable build quality at their price point, and hand-winding option.
But if pushed, I prefer the M-Force. Part of its appeal is the aggressive bezel, stamped steel corrugations along the edge. I love that style. Another plus: The Orient has sapphire while the others have Hardlex synthetic mineral crystal. And the M-Force on Amazon is $283 while the Sumo is generally about $550. But all 3 are excellent choices.
Owl writes about a radio that I'll probably get eventually:
Redsun is taking pre-order for RP3100 now. The radio will be available from April.
Below are links to the radio and the order inform (in Chinese):

It's said there will be 200 available. The price is YMB650 (about USD100) each. "registered customer" gets YMB100 off.
Compared to RP2100, it has SSB and a direct-input keyboard.
Here is a photo of the radio:
