Advantages: Ideal to Social lifestyle use
Disadvantages: SMS cost 12p (could be cheaper)

...I have been using this talkplan for 3 months and in that time my BT phone bills have come down to almost nothing, the off peak time you are allowed (50 mins per day 7pm-7am and all day weekends) is a fantastic deal especially if your friends, like mine, generally have Orange mobiles. The talkplan allows 50 mins to Orange Mobiles and Local and National Landlines and I have found the service and call quality to be first rate ( I have previously used other networks at work). For Social use this network plan is a bargain at 50p per day... Read review

Advantages: Cheap text messages and no line rental
Disadvantages: You can't call 0800 numbers free

...I used to be on Everyday 50 which was £15 a month + £5 a month insurance, + £30 of calls and text messages. Even though it was 50 mins of free calls in the evening and weekends a day I still used it outside these hours. It just all mounted up and I wondered if there was a cheaper way. There was. I am now on Just Talk and I don't pay line rental or insurance. I bought a £50 voucher and I spend about 35p a day. Text messages are half the price of Everyday 50, i.e. 5p and calls in the evening are 5p to landlines and other orange. I save money now and if you send lots of text messages and make ten minutes or less or calls a day this is definately for you!... Read review

Advantages: great price
Disadvantages: It's not the new D80 but it's a great camera for the price

...I love the Nikon F50. It's the camera I recommend for anyone who wants the best camera possible, and they sell for only $650, including lens. Time moves fast in digital cameras. This F50 is better than the D1H for which I paid $4,000 in 2002 and didn't even come with a lens. The F50 is especially good for kids, sports and action compared to more expensive fixed-lens cameras. I prefer it over everything else from other makers because it's so easy to use, works fast, focuses fast, responds immediately to your inputs and the image quality is fantastic. The F50 is a far cry better than any fixed-lens camera, even the much more expensive Sony DSC-R1. Unless you really understand abstract concepts like White Balance fine tuning you'll never find anything missing from the F50. Don't let the low price fool you: it's a great camera and I wouldn...

Advantages: High top speed and aceleration
Disadvantages: Expensive to repair

...The motorhispania RX50 is a very fast and reliable motorbike. It is a manual 6 gear bike, which allows quick aceleration and high top end speed for a 50cc engine and is legal to ride at 16. Other bikes that are in the same league as the Motorhispania RX50 include, Aprilia RS50, Rieju RS2 Matrix, Yamaha TZR50, Derbi GPR50, and the Cagvia Mito 50. What makes the Motorhispania apeal to me more and rise above the others, is that it is the biggest bike out of the lot, 9/10ths real size where as the others are only 8/10s. Also it is uncommon, unlike the Aprilia RS50 and so is classier to have while also not being hard to find and purchase like the Yamaha TZR50, and the Cagvia Mito 50 therefore having a smaller price tag. The Derbi GPR50 is the slowest out of the lot, although can be fast when tuned up. The Rieju RS2 Matrix is the only... Read review

Advantages: Lightweight
Disadvantages: Uses AA Batteries

...The Pentax 50L has quite alot to offer a maximum of image quality with its 5 Megapixel resolution and several automatic and manual functions. This is a great camera for just the occasional family photo or sightseeing. The light-weight digital compact is equipped with a 2,5" LCD screen for perfect control of the images. The silver colored camera body is a real light weight with its 130g, the Pentax Optio 50. Pentax Optio 50L digital camera does not need a power outlet because of the energy supply from AA-batteries. The 3x optical zoom with a focal length of around 32 - 96 mm (according KB-format). Numerous picture modes as well as automatic functions make the handling of the Optio50L a pure pleasure. So it is easy to take brilliant and unforgettable photos of parties, vacation or the everyday life, even for beginners. Photos, video... Read review

Advantages: Many functions
Disadvantages: Difficult to start with.

...Photoshop 5.0 from Adobe is a very useful program. It can be used for simple picture editing to creating stunning web graphics. It is a little difficult to learn at first, but once you've managed it, you will be an expert and find that editing, designing graphics a breeze. It is a very powerful program, and has many advanced features, which I still can barely use. It is a must for any serious web designers out there, and whether you like it just for fun, it is very useful. Advanced and great graphics editing software from Adobe.... Read review

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...I just downgraded back to Internet Explorer 5.0. I had nothing but problems with 5.5 There are many sites that do not support 5.5 and in Hotmail (Microsoft's own email program) I could not reply to an email. I would start replying, type a lengthy email averaging about 3 minutes before the entire Internet Explorer would just shut down. I went back to 5.0 and am having no problems whatsoever. I guess they'll fix these bugs soon, and it will probably be better than 5.0 in the long run. Other than that IE is the way to go.... Read review

Advantages: Cheap call prices
Disadvantages: Uses the One2One aerials

...In the Ciao! ratings for the UK mobile phone networks, Virgin and One2One had the following ratings: Virgin Coverage & reception - 3.6 out of 5.0 Overall rating - 4.1 out of 5.0 One2One Coverage & reception - 2.5 out of 5.0 Overall rating - 3.0 out of 5.0 This is very confusing because Virgin is a virtual network using the One2One service and re-branding it under the Virgin name! They share the same aerials and services. Virgin though does offer lower call prices than One2One that is hard to understand. As these networks use the same equipment, shouldn’t they have the same Ciao! ratings?... Read review
