[Electronics-talk] And This'll Be Radio Number 3 Folks

Removing the belt clip is an option for sure.
I was surprised to see it affixed to the unit.  Surely the company knows 
some people don't like belt clips.  And most of the time, when you drop a 
device with a belt clip, that's usually what gets broken.
