My history and why I wanted one of these*
When I was young and life was fun I had a friend who had a food mixer sitting on her worktop at all times, she used it several times a week and made the most wonderful cakes, breads and pastries with it. Oh I coveted that food mixer as I made the above by hand creaming, whisking, beating and kneading. The trouble was that it was out of my price range and on top of that I didn’t have enough worktop space ... ...years I have bought many kitchen gadgets that are supposed to make things easier and quicker and the more hours I have worked the more gadgets I have bought.

To star with, I want to say I don't personally own this phone but my girlfriend does, and I usually hear nothing but complaints. So here goes.
To begin with, this is a beautiful phone. Stunning in my girlfriends words. I cannot emphasise this enough. more
I don't actually own this mobile but my boyfriend does. I tend to use it a lot when I run out of my free minutes and texts (he's on a higher tariff than me), I also like to 'play' with it a lot, such as with games, music etc so I think I qualify to... more
You may be thinking hold up I thought the whole appeal of the Wii was it didn't have to use use a normal pad. Why on earth would I want to spend a £10-15 on old technology. Well the main reason reason is the Virtual console which allows you to download... more
