Advantages: Small, Light, Good Screen, Easy to Use, Tough Disadvantages: Small Battery (doesn't last long) and none of the clever Gadgets
.
Screen:
The screen is very good. UFB screen (65,000 colours, 128 x 160 pixels). At 65,000 colours it's much higher than even some of the most expensive Nokia phones. The fact that this phone is a clamshell gives its screen two great advantages...
1)it never gets scratched or cracked
2)the screen can be very large (and it is) while the phone is kept very small
Overall the screen recieves a grand 10/10
Clearness of Calls (signal etc.):
The best on any phone i've ever had, my friend has a lush smartphone... which incidently i sold to him, something around £200 brand new, yet this phone has such clearness when you're talking to people on it, that it, i quote, 'actually sounds like a landline'. The signal also seems to get picked up wherever you are, with the exception of underground areas, this thing gets a pretty good signal in most ...

about £30. You probably have to order it direct from Yamaha if it is not available at the music stores. Another accessory that you would have to purchase is a stand specially made by Yamaha to sit the instrument. It costs £150. However, you could use other suitable stands. I use a Quiklok X type stand.
Yamaha CP300 piano is a worthwhile purchase. ...

Advantages: reasonable price, reasonable sound, portable, built-in amplification & speakers, USB port Disadvantages: no music rest supplied, a few dodgy-sounding notes around D4
was so confident that CP300 would suit me that I didn't even bother playing it before buying it. Later, when the instrument arrived, I was not disappointed in any way.
Just bear in mind that, unless you have one, apart from the music rest for CP300 a suitably robust stand will be required on which to sit the instrument. I use a Quiklok 'X' type stand. But Yamaha does a special stand costing about £150 - also available as 'an accessory'.
*As far as I know Technics stopped making electronic pianos a few years back.
UPDATE ON ABOVE REVIEW - 8TH APRIL 2009
Now on to my second CP-300. The first one - reviewed above - developed an odd resonance on the note 'D' that lies a major ninth above middle C. In fact, the two notes on either side of this 'D' are affected i.e. the C and C# and the D# and E. Yamaha reckons it could be ...

The Hitachi CP-X450 projector provides users with a lower total cost of ownership by offering easier and less frequent maintenance. For example, the CP-X450 filter is located on the side, with the lamp door on top, meaning less time spent on replacement when the projector is ceiling mounted. Additionally, the hybrid filter does not need to be replaced for 2,000 hours. The CP-X450 offers unparalleled ease of use with features such as Hitachi "My Button", which allows two user-programmable buttons to be set with any command from the select menu. A 7W audio output eliminates the need to connect external speakers, while the projector's low 29dB of noise in whisper mode ensures clear and effective communication. Addressing the demand for advanced security in all applications, the CP-X450 features a transition detector, which requires a password to operate the projector when it is moved from a fixed position. The CP-X450 also offers PIN lock and MyScreen lock functions, as well as a security bar that enables the use of a heavy chain to prevent theft. The CP-X450 also offers input source naming, allowing users to customize the names of their input sources instead of using the default name. Automatic vertical keystone detects the angle of the projector and corrects the image, saving time when setting up the projector. Additionally, the CP-X450's whiteboard mode provides adequate clarity while limiting brightness for use with whiteboards. Day time mode allows users to clearly see the images in a bright environment, while blackboard mode offers better color balance when displaying an image on a colored background. The CP-X450 ensures high performance with features including motion adaptive progressive scan, which produces less line flicker, higher resolution and smoother motion video. The CP-X450's 2-3 pull-down feature allows for precise and crisp reproduction of movie film.
