Advantages: Excellent camera, Touch screen system handy in certain applications , Stylish "head-turning" phone. Disadvantages: Battery life -No Xenon Flash -Easily scratchable back cover -Finger prints -Annoying music player navigation
the "Magic Touch Screen" that is located below the screen and changes according to the menu currently onscreen. This is a clever gimmick and has its uses although two soft key buttons could probably have served just as well. In certain applications it does come in handy though such as the camera and then music player. The touch screen has significant improvements to previous touch features of Samsungs. Noticeably the rubbish feature on the U600. Three level Vibration feeback and Three level sensitivity options have been added so that you can customise it to your preferences - I found level 2 was the best for both. Other than that, there isn't much to say about the touch screen except that one will definitely leave ample fingerprint marks on it as well as the screen.
The music player application is not very useful and could be more intuitive in ...

Advantages: Some fun stories Disadvantages: I'd read most of them in other collections
I've long been a fan of Neil Gaiman, as he is one of those writers who can mix the fantastical with the real and make it feel somehow natural. His writing has a kind of credibility that means when Neil Gaiman tells you something unbelievable, you start keeping half an eye out for it, just in case.
I've read most of Gaiman's novels and short story collections, but had never dipped into the writing he aims at a slightly younger audience. Given that his writing often makes me feel like a child again, I wasn't anticipating any major difference in his writing for the different audience, particularly in a collection of short stories.
That is exactly what I got, as "M is for Magic" is a collection of stories specially selected for the audience, but not written specifically for the audience. Indeed, of the eleven stories contained within ...
