Sony Ericsson T280i: Simply Great Features at a Great Price

Advantages: Good value for money, reliable, plenty of extra features
Disadvantages: Picture messaging doesn't work on O2, only 10MB (non-expandable) memory

...Last week I bought myself a Sony Ericsson T280i (to replace my 6 year-old T610) for £19.10 at the Carphone Warehouse. Not that I'm plugging them, but this was a really good bargain, as I already had an 02 sim card I didn't need to pay the extra £10 top-up fee, so if anyone is in-store try to find a friendly assistant who will deal with this for you and save you a bit of money, because I don't believe you can do this ordering online. Right, down to the phone. I was lucky enough that they had the pink and silver version in stock (much prettier, I think, than the black & grey), and apparently these phones come already unlocked, though I haven't yet tried it with another sim (personally I have no need to at the moment). Having become acquainted with my new phone, I'm going to list the pros & cons in an easy to read manner: *ADVANTAGES...

Kodak DC 280 Superb

Advantages: Easy to use, superb quality pictures
Disadvantages: spare set of charged batteries need to be carried.

...I purchased a Kodak DC 280 camera in June and have found it to be easy to use and capable of producing excellent pictures. Anyone would be able to use it very quickly. The only criticisms have been stated as 'heavy on batteries' and 'heavy to hold' whilst this is true, the latter is, I think, an advantage; it is much easier to hold the camera still which is essential when taking indoor pictures without flash. It also seems more substantial and well made that feather-light cameras. It is heavy on batteries if you use the viewing window and forget to turn it off. But I feel the batteries do last a fair time. They charge quite quickly but it would be an advantage to carry a spare set. My camera came with 8 MB card (which only holds 12 pictures at best quality) but it is possible to purchase cards at double this capacity...

What is there to 'C' with this mobile phone?

Advantages: Cheap, good battery life, cheap, reasonable reception, did I mention cheap?
Disadvantages: Texting is a nightmare at times, there are a few design flaws to contend with

...cheap little thing called the Samsung C300. I paid a measly £20 for it from Argos because of my deliberations over a contract so I just wanted a cheap pay as you go mobile to tie me over until I made (or make) that decision. I?m with Virgin Mobile (hehe funny name) and, although this particular phone is no longer available on their website you could purchase the Samsung C300 for as little as £12.99. I feel like I?ve been robbed! WHO ARE SAMSUNG AND WHAT ARE THE BASIC FEATURES OF THE C300? Samsung are a company that you will no doubt have at least heard of before, even if you?ve never used or purchased any of their products. Born from a tiny store in the early 1930s, Samsung are now one of the leading brands in all things electronics, from the said mobile phones to televisions, cameras and computers. Samsung are perhaps best known...

Versatile vitamin C

Advantages: Vitamin C is a useful everyday vitamin to take, even if you use a synthetic version
Disadvantages: None

...Vitamin C is more commonly known as ascorbic acid, because it cannot be stored in your body for any length of time its essential that you have an intake of Vitamin C daily. There are many companies that produce their own version of the vitamin but I feel that Boots the chemist offer good value for money with their chewable version. Boots have packaged this product in a silver grey plastic container and the label is orange and white. The carton has a screw top that has been adjusted to make it difficult for children to open. Each container holds fifty 1000mg orange flavour chewable tablets. The tablets cost £4.39 for fifty, which works out at just 8p for a daily dose. If you use your Boots Advantage card you will get 16 points for this purchase. Boots chewable Vitamin C tablets are fine for children aged 12 and above and adults. They...

C3 or not C3? Definitely not a C3!!

Advantages: Spacious, economical fuel consumption, looks good
Disadvantages: High repair and maintenance bills, unreliable, doesn't look so good on the back of a tow truck!

...After owning my little Citroen C3 for just over 6 years, the time has come to accept that this relationship has run its course and move on to better things. So I have finally part-exchanged my C3 and, hopefully, bid farewell to endless visits to the garage and constant repair bills! Like most relationships, this started so well. It was love at first sight when I set eyes on the C3, which was a relatively new model when I bought mine back in November 2002. The design of the car is quite funky for a small, relatively cheap hatchback or what is known as a 'super-mini'. It has an attractive curved exterior and looks very modern and stylish. The interior is even more eye-catching with its digital mileometer display, smart curved dashboard and adjustable steering column. It certainly looks like a more expensive little car than the price...

NAD C315 BEE

Advantages: Powerdrive-S technology, No genre preference, Great sound quality, Very low distortion
Disadvantages: no phonogram (record player) input

...The NAD C 315 BEE stereo integrated amplifier beat the Cambridge Azur 340A SE when the british magazine hi-fi world put them against one another. The C315 BEE received 5 globes out of 5 (in Jan 2008 issue). Sound quality is incredible at this price. Performs beyond specs due to Powerdrive-S and Soft Clipping. Great stereo separation. In my opinion this is by far the best stereo amp at this price! Better than Denon 500 PMA and Cambridge 540A SE. If you want a good amp do yourself a favor and give this a listen. Beware this is a Stereo integrated amp, so there is no surround. Good Bass. Tone Defeat switch so you can bypass the Treble and Bass control circuits if you're not using them. There is also a Balance control but like the Bass and Treble control you probably don't need them. Bass has a slight bloom, not enough to be...

THE BIG BAD C

Advantages: may help others
Disadvantages: it is personal to me and find it hard to write about

...need to come in to hospital to have a DNC (scrape) to get rid of all the crap that was now taking over my womb as if left it can become dangerous because the mole pregnancy can become cancerous. Now not only has my featus died but i now have the worry of weather or not it has turned to the big C. I would not know anything until after i have had the DNC done as they will then test what they have taken away from my womb and check to see if there are any C cells. I was admitted into hospital and had to stay in for three days because of risk of heamorraging after my DNC. The good news was that they had managed to take everything away that was in my womb which made me feel alot easier. On day two of my hospital visit came the big news that my results were back from the lab. The tests showed that i a mild form of cancer which could be...

**Perfect Picture on the C902**

Advantages: Amazing camera, extra fetures, sleak and sexy
Disadvantages: Small buttons, a little slow

...**INTRODUCTION** I have had this phone for just over a month now and I have only just decided whether it is my friend or not. I am with the phone company 3 and have a contract with them. For the past 4 years. Last month my last phone was due an upgrade as I had had my previous phone for 18 months (which was also a Sony Ericsson). I decided to choose the Sony Ericsson C902 mainly because I new it looked good and also I have never had a bad experience with the brand. I like to stick to brands that I know and trust when it comes to technology. So?. did the phone live up to my expectations??.. Here you will find out? **LOOK AND DESIGN** The design of this phone is very sleek and sexy. The size is 4.3 x 1.9 x 0.4 inches and it only weighs 107g. Which makes it very light and small enough to fit in your pocket without it being noticed...

Indesit IS70C scored Gold!

Advantages: the indesit IS70C is lightweight and extremely quiet when on. It holds a massive 7kg of clothes
Disadvantages: The indesit IS70C has really no disadvantages other than the fact it is only energy efficient C

...I decided a few months ago due to having electric heaters than i need a tumble drier to dry my laundry being in a top floor flat. I shopped around for a good three days looking for a condenser tumble dryer that was excellent value for money which provided a machine that had a large capacity and was easy to use. I stumbled across the indesit IS70C which was everything i was looking for. It was simple to use, extremely quiet and had a massive 7kg clothes capacity and an amazing 5kg water condenser capacity. Having never brought a seperate tumble dryer before i had reservations however these soon faded. The indesit IS70C has excellent performance drying clothes extremely well and giving off little heat. I assumed a machine its size would be extremely noisy however to my amazement it was superby quiet. With a push to open door and a pull...

Advantages: Helping Ciao survive
Disadvantages: Most people will not bother

...Christmas, condom, chocolate, car, calligraphy, coupon, cow, cottage, cold, cream, contraception, cat, creativity, cross, container, carrot, competition, crossword, card, cattle, custard, craft, crew, curtain, curler, chrome, canteen, cartoon, cabaret, can, carton... the list goes on. Words beginning with the letter c in case you hadn't spotted the common factor there. And the purpose of that list? Well, none really other than I wanted something to start off this op, to get you reading before I gave you the real subject matter. My favourite C... CIAO! Okay, so you're bored of ops slating Ciao. Me too! Isn't it bizarre how we'll write an op in a non-paid category in order to have a good moan, but we can't write in a non-paid category for the satisfaction of offering helpful consumer advice. Anyway, I don't want to start a riot...
