Sony HT-DDW 800

Cheap price, Sony quality.

Advantages: Powerful, rugged design, discreet sattelites
Disadvantages: Remote is very cluttered, tricky to operate initially.

I picked my one of these up at Argos about 2 years ago, and paid £350 for it. At the time, I was looking to ensure I had the best sound set up of all my mates, and this Pro-Logic 2 setup was exactly what I wanted. I paid my money, took it home, and started tinkering. Out of the box, the unit is simple enough to wire up; everything is clearly labeled, so you'd need to be retarded to struggle on that front. The problems occur once you've got it plumbed in, and turned it all on. The remote control, I imagine, is capable of launching Beagle space probes, with it's 50+ buttons, each with up to three different sub-functions. What Sony have done here is to save money by using the same remote for several different products. Many of the features are redundant, and it's hard just to find volume up/down in a hurry. If ...

Review of Sony HT-DDW750

Sony k800i

Advantages: Great camera, nice looking, loads of features and great value for money!
Disadvantages: The annoying internet button (if with T-Mobile)

Personally I think this phone is brilliant! The camera is great - I often just use that instead of taking a separate digital camera, there is the option to use a memory card, so there's as much memory as you could need, there's nifty free downloads on the Sony Ericsson website including themes which are cool for jazzing the phone up a bit! and for free! Whilst using my phone, a lot of people have noticed how easy it is to text given the size of the buttons - not too big, not too small! The games aren't amazing, but perfectly good enough for when there's really nothing else to do...! The amount of features that come with the camera (because it is a cybershot phone) is amazing! And much easier to use than most normal digital cameras! I've dropped the phone more times than I could count, smashed it, dropped it in water etc, and I ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K800i Cyber-shot

Sony Ericsson K800i Cybershot (update)

Advantages: 3.2mp camera
Disadvantages: annoying joystick!

Please Note: Review was written quite a few months and has been updated. Why buy a digital camera when you can get an excellent camera and a phone in one! I had this sony ericsson k800i for about a year and a half and even though i must have dropped it like 100 times its still working really good! I've currently got another sony ericsson phone (see my review on c905). I'd say the camera on it is the best thing as it 3.2 mega pixel, the "cybershot" name pretty much gives it away on how sony erisson have made yet another gerat camera phone. As im always printing out actual photos in great quality, you would never guess they were from a phone. The camera section includes: Auto focus so the face is detected and makes taking photos easier, Picture blogging, Xenon flash which enables you to take good quality photos indoors and outdoors ...
