Review of Samsung ES55

Snap Happy Samsung!

Advantages: Great camera at a great price.
Disadvantages: None at the price, you get a great item for what you pay!

...I bought this camera in ASDA at the incredible price of £75 in a gorgeous chrome silver colour (pictured). I am probably one of the most indecisive shoppers around, so when it came to buying a digital camera, I was thoroughly confused by the choice and newly released technology, meaning every week a new camera with more mega pixels and better zoom and a toaster built in was released! This certainly does not making chosing easy! Well, thanks to the advice of the very helpful assistant in ASDA, I was able to finally decide on the Samsung ES55 and have no regrets! Ok, so how do you chose the right camera for you? It's all about accepting there is SO much variety but making sure you know what you want, that way you can really trim down the choice. Also, pick a reliable brand and as I have been informed, Samsung are one of the best. I had...

Holiday Inn A55 Chester West, Northop

Advantages: Excellent connection to Chester and North Wales, reasonably priced, very family friendly
Disadvantages: Only accessible on the westbound A55, slightly dated decor

...Summary This is a well priced and family friendly hotel, ideally located for easy access to North Wales, and an ideal stop off for any holiday in Wales. I stayed at this hotel for one night in October 2009. The Hotel The hotel is just off the A55 about halfway between Chester and Llandudno. The hotel is only accessible from the A55 westbound, and you have to travel to the next junction to travel back to England, which is slightly inconvenient unless you are travelling on further into Wales. The hotel is spread over three floors. There is a small reception area as you enter the hotel. There is a bar and restaurant to the right of the reception desk. The staff who assisted me on check in were a little colder than the normal Holiday Inn staff, but were not rude. The hotel does not have a pool, but it does offer a gym...

JVC XVN55SL

Advantages: Excellent picture quality, zoom and other functions, good sound output
Disadvantages: Non. If it recorded it would be the best ever..

...With the surge in popularity of DVD recorders, it is very hard to notice the humble DVD player nowadays and it comes quite low on the list of 'must-haves'. However, if you are in the market for a good DVD player that is packed with features, the JVC XV-N55SL would be worthy of consideration. We have had ours a couple of years now, but last year it got relegated to the dining room when we purchased our DVD recorder. It is hooked up to a portable TV we have in there but it does not really do justice to the JVC in all fairness. But that's the way things go. If we had room in our lounge under our TV on top of the DVD recorder it would still be there, because it is by far the better player of DVDs. When we got the JVC home as a Christmas present to both of us (from both of us) a couple of Christmases ago, we were amazed how light...

Siemens A55

Advantages: small, light, cheap, easy to use
Disadvantages: None that I know of yet!!!

...05.02.04 - I have edited this so you might just want to skip to the bottom. I used to have a nokia that i dropped so many times it was held together by sellotape. I shopped around for a new nokia and decided that I didn't want to pay the £80 for a new one - after all with my track record I am only going to drop it again. I am on Orange Pay as you go and wanted to stay with them, so I went to my local orange shop. The Siemens A55 was on offer there for £39.99 - a bargain I am sure you will agree but thats not all. There are currently doing a deal where they give you £10.00 free air time credit and they give this to existing Orange customers to thank you for staying loyal to them and also to new orange customers to thank you for joining with them. This then in theory put the price the phone down to £29.99 as I would have...

A55? more like A*!

Advantages: small, smooth, sexy
Disadvantages: easily unlocked!

...As a bit of a nokia fan, I was a bit apprehensive about the purchase of my siemens A55 mobile phone. But at the cheapest on the market (correct 29.03.04) at £49.99 I thought it was a bit of a bargain! ~~~Aesthetics~~~ Lets forget about the unimportant packaging and go straight on to the little red phone inside the box. When I first saw it in O2, I must admit it was the price my eyes were drawn too but on closer inspection the phone seemed pretty small and smooth i.e. no abrasive edges so comfortable to put into your pocket or slide into your tiny handbag for a night out. The exact measurements are 103 x 46 x 21.5 mm which is about 4 x 2" . The phone comes in two colours red and blue with stoney grey sides. You can get exchangeable covers but I havent been able to find any since I bought the phone! All there seems to be are...

My love affair with the Siemen?s SL55

Advantages: Stylish, compact, packed with features.
Disadvantages: Texting can be a little difficult at first.

...?I Will Fly you to the moon and back if you?ll be, if you?ll be my baby?. My dirty old Nokia 3310 was past its sell-by-date years ago so I have to admit to getting ridiculously over excited at the prospect of a new phone. So many decisions to be made. Colour, polyphonic ringtones, games, and camera, one of those flip clamshell types or a standard Nokia style? Given my self-imposed budget of £60 surely I had given myself little leeway regarding the type of phone I could purchase? Never underestimate the dididave obsession with bargain hunting. It is rare that I pay full price for anything and as such revel in the underground culture that is the boot sale, charity shop and online auction world. Trawling through the Internet back alleys in search of my next gadget I came across the Siemen?s SL55. This little beauty retails...

Siemens SL55

Advantages: Looks gorgeous and is so small!
Disadvantages: Breaks and scratches easily, low talktime

...How I fell in love with this mobile phone: Still living in Switzerland, I broke my mobile phone and went to a shop looking for a new one. Before, I always had Nokias, but this time I saw the Siemens SL55 and simply wanted it. Because I am not really a technical hero, the looks did it for me to be honest. Looks: You can get this tiny beauty (length x width x height = 81.6 x 44.5 x 21.9 mm) in titan and rubin. It slides open and reveals the keyboard. At the beginning I had to get used to it, as the keyboard is different from a Nokia one. After you get the hang of it, it is easy to use. It has a colour screen, which I like. If you search a bit, you will be able to find a case for it. However, as it is quite small, it can be difficult to get a good one. Technical stuff: Length x with x height = 81.6 x 44.5 x 21.9 mm, 79 gramms...

Siemens M55 - Total Disappointment

Advantages: can be used as a data modem
Disadvantages: bad buttons, can't change the case, short battery life, small memory, slow processing

...I have been using a Siemens M55 mobile phone for over 3 years. It was my first cell phone but I can easily say I was not able to get what I expected from it. You can never know the disadvantages of a product if you don't use another and compare. After using another phone I saw that Siemens M55 has many disadvantages and doesn't worth the money you would pay for it. It doesn't have any free communication options such as bluetooth or infrared. You can't send or recieve any data (like photos, music or anything else) to your friends without using MMS or GPRS and it costs extra money. The buttons on the panel are not satisfying because they make noises as you push. If you are keen on sending SMS messages, then this product is NOT a good idea for you. Additionally, you can't change the colors of it as it doesn't have the option to change...

Compaq V55 - End of the road for 15" CRTs?

Advantages: Cheap, relatively small, does everything a monitor should do
Disadvantages: bland design, old fashioned,

...The Compaq V55 is an ideal monitor; it was an important part of our receptionists life for a good 5 years but after recently replacing it with a TFT, I decided it was only fair we rewarded it by giving it a good write up on ciao. --------- PRICE --------- It was back in 1997, in which our comapany first purchased this monitor. We had a dell base unit which was perfect for the general office work of the receptionist; now all we needed was a nice monitor to go with it. At £129.99 it was not badly priced at all, in fact its probably worth that today. It seemed a bargain; despite it being compaqs lowest in their range, it would be all that was needed for the day to day chores of our receptionist. The prices of these monitors will have come down considerably since then, brand new your probably looking at under £60, a bargain...
