Excellent GPS package at great price

Advantages: Excellent sat-nav package at low price, well-spec'd handheld computer
Disadvantages: Advertising unclear: hidden costs of full European package

...When I decided too buy this product, I wasn't specifically looking for a handheld computer, I was after a decent (but inexpensive) GPS satellite navigation system; and the Acer n35 is not only the cheapest GPS-equipped handheld, it's actually cheaper than most dedicated sat-nav systems, so the fact that this device functions as a computer with numerous other facilities is a pure bonus! You can easily pay £400 for a dedicated portable sat-nav system like the Tom Tom Go, and similar amounts for sat-nav equipped handhelds, but the Acer can be had for as little as £240 brand new with full guarantee. You see already the main economic advantage, especially when you compare it to the four-figure sums that car manufacturers charge for built-in sat-nav systems.... The Acer n35 is basically the n30 without BlueTooth capability...

Review of Acer N35 GPS

  PDA and GPS, all-in-one

Advantages: Great value for the money.
Disadvantages: No wireless connection

..., the battery last 3-3'5 hours of continuous use. The Acer come with a preinstalled Windows Mobile 2003, and a good bunch of software, like a Pocket Officce (word & excel), an Internet Explorer, Messenger, Windows Media, and some other stuff. I guess it's more or less the same as most Pocket PC. The OS is pretty simple to use and learn, at least if you use Windows usually. Everything has a "Windows feeling", included the usual Start button on screen, or the Control Pannel. Even the directory structure is quite similar. Accessories In the pack you get some useful accesories, like a car craddle, to attach the PDA to the car's windshield, a car power adaptor, to "feed" the pda, and an external GPS antenna. Apart of that, the usual bunch of USB cable, power adaptor, drivers, manuals and so on. The GPS. The GPS reciever works pretty...

Accessories

Advantages: cheap, plenty to choose from
Disadvantages: staff seem miserable

...Claire's accessories is a shop for the females. It's mainly young children and teenagers that shop here but you do find older women here too. The shop sells:- hair accessories nail varnish belts purses jewellery and more You can also have your ears pierecd here too. I've been in the shop a couple of times now to buy hair accessories and nail varnish. There is a wide range of items to choose from in different colours. As soon as you go through the door though, they are lunging a hand basket at you. If you do not take one they do not seem too pleased about it either. When you are paying for your goods, they always ask if you want to buy the bargain of the day like a nail file. They do not seem to be satisfied with what you take to the counter at all. The shop is quite small but it does sell plenty of items. It...

Accessories and more

Advantages: good little accessories, good bargains
Disadvantages: crowded, staff not always pleasant

...I know a lot of people that when you say Claire's Accessories they would say oh that shop for teenagers but it isn't for them only, it's for girls in general. Females I should maybe say it sells a lot of things that are not too expensive but very nice still. From the branches I have been in I have seen them sell make-up, nail accessories, bags, books and so many things. This shop is not only in the UK because I saw t in America so I don't actually know where it started. One main thing I know this shop for is piercing ears they are trained I'm sure but I don't think I could trust anyone. They pierce ears usually right at the front of the shop and everyone can watch, they will probably be fine but they could do it away from the customers buying and I have heard that not all of the staff here actually know how to pierce. I love...

  MAP READING YOU CAN'T GET WRONG

Advantages: directs you to your destination smoothly, great if you are on your own, no more trying to map read and drive, makes your journey safer
Disadvantages: sometimes gets the speed limit wrong, severe weather can make it slow by interferring with the satallite reception.

...ACER N35 GPS HANDHELD POCKET CHAUFFEUR My darling hubby bought me this about a month ago now, he was concerned as I have to travel around the West Midlands to different Spiritualist Churches, worried that I might loose my way when I travelled on my own, so he bought me a sat. nav. I'm afraid I am not a techno buff, so this will be my experience of using the Satellite Navigation System not the technical side. *** OUR SEARCH *** We had been looking around on the internet, shops and reading reviews on Ciao, but most of them were well over our price range and I have to say all the specifications did not mean a thing to me. So two brain dead adults, when it comes to the technical side went looking for a Satellite Navigation System. We decided between us that we wanted a product that was a) within our budget, b) got us from...

Claire's untidy, expensive accessories

Advantages: No queues as they're never busy
Disadvantages: expensive and cluttered

...Claire's accessories moved to Harlow a few years ago, much to the delight of everyone as it was a welcome newcomer being that it was the first specialist hair-care and odds'n'ends shop in the town. Up until then we had to rely on a market stall or small ranges offered by various other shops and supermarkets. I give it fair ratings that the stuff they offer is in keeping with current trends, keeping today's girls whatever age kitted out in the fashion, but (always a but) the shop needs a little attention in the following areas: It's not just school age girlies who want to be trendy so how about making it a little less cluttered for us 'mumsies' to get a pushchair around inside without the worry of knocking the person next to you out with the swing of a Tesco's carrier? I've only got a single pushchair so I pity those with a double...

A Range of Accessories but It's Too Small!

Advantages: a large range of accessories, good bags
Disadvantages: the shop is too small, it's overpriced for what it is

...Claires Accessories is a shop MORE for teenagers but adults and younger children do tend to find something in there to their liking. I'm not a regular shopper at Claires and when I go shopping I normall y just have a quick browse and leave or buy something. Layout and Presentation Claires Accessories is a very small shop and it is filled to the brim with accessories. Every single wall is covered with shelfs or hooks with bags and other things hung on them. Theres also rotating display racks with loads of earings. The lighiting is okay, it's not too bright nor is it dim. It's a bit claustrophobic exspecially when it's crowded. Presentation wise, it's a bit messy and staff could put a bit more effort into keeping the shop tidy. Selection and Range There is a range of accessories in Claires, these are bracelets, neclaces, earings...

Acer

Advantages: Good all round multimedia laptop
Disadvantages: Bulky, low battery life.

...Acer is a major world leader in IT solutions and are now the third largest manufacturer of laptops worldwide. It's a great little device with plenty of features that I would highly recommend. This really is a wonderful piece of kit that should go well with many accessories because it really looks good. However, always think carefully as to whether you actually really need something before you buy it. We buy so many things nowadays that we don't really need.

Accessories for the young at heart

Advantages: Very colourful with lots of things instore
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Claire's Accessories is, I know, mainly for the kids and teenagers. I shop in here mainly over Christmas time for the kids in my family, but have been known to do the odd bit of shopping in there for myself! They are not really all that cheap. I have bought 3 hairbands in there, 2 of which have subsequently broken, 1 is still in good working order! The last one I bought cost £2.50. They also do ear-piercing. The sign outside said from £6.99. Not as cheap as some places, but this store is a national chain store, and would cost more. When you first look at the store, it's very colourful with plenty of bits and bobs in to buy from hair accessories, purses, bangles nail varnish, bags and jewellrey. They also have reduced and buy 1 get 1 free on selected items. They have also been known to do fancy dress costumes, ie...
