BOSE: Music for the soul

Advantages: Great sound quality, perfet at loud volumes, just in general FANTASTIC
Disadvantages: none so far

...Anything made by BOSE can be trusted. Its sound quality is always at its best, no matter what soundsystem you use from bose, and it's true... you get what you pay for. Jus plug it in and press "ON" and you're set up! IT'S THAT EASY! bose is a big brang name, and everyone expects the best from, and how right they are. The sounddocks simplistic design brings out the best of your mp3 player, making it the whole music experience that much better. For (at most) £300, you are getting exactly what you pay for AND more! The bose soundock has an inate wonder within itself, which brings you to appreciate the minor details embedded into whatever track you are listening to. Its reasonably light weight, comes with an easy to use remote and from there onwards, it really is just you and your music i can easily say that the best thing about...

Review of Bose SoundDock Digital Music System

Bose SoundDock Digital Music System Review

Advantages: Superb Sound, Very Loud, Ideal for Ipods
Disadvantages: not go to travel with, Extremely Expensive

...Bose SoundDock Digital Music System I happened to get this as a gift and it turned out to be quiet interesting Summary: This dock is used mainly for ipod and allows you to connet mp3 players to it and listen to high quality music via speakers. It is idle for homes and small gatherings, although I would not run a party off these. Pros: This system has terrific sound and can go very load despite its relative small size. As with almost all Bose speakers the quality is amazing, so long as the source you are playing it from is high quality it will allow the speakers to each its potential. I have a surround sound Bose set up in one of my rooms but now prefer to use this product as it is very simple to operate. Just plug the mp3 player in and press play and your set. Can't get much simpler. It also runs off a wall...

Review of Bose SoundDock Digital Music System

Wii music

Advantages: Learn about instruments
Disadvantages: Not interesting enough for me

...I love my Nintendo Wii and love playing new and different games on it. I recently played the Wii Music but unfortunately this was one game that I really did not like. Wii music was released in 2008 and allows players to simulate playing with real musical instruments. You use either the Wii remote or the nunchuk to play the instruments. THe disappointment for me was that the instruments were just not realistic enough. For example, I love Wii Sports because I think the tennis, bowling and actually all the games are really realistic and it feels like you are actually there playing the game. With the Wii Instruments it did not feel like you had a real instrument in your hands and also the Mii characters on the screen just did not react well to the movements. It was more of a chore trying to play the instruments and I gave up pretty soon...

Nokia 5800 touch screen music phone

Advantages: Quick and easy to use
Disadvantages: Can get damaged easily

...The 5800 XpressMusic is a revolution for Nokia with it being the first touch screen phone produced by the manufacturer. With its slim lined shape it is an easy phone to hold and to use. The stylus being made of plastic makes the phone as light as possible and easy to hold and to use with the screen. The back of the phone can be removed without out fuss to get at the battery and the SIM card which is slotted into the side of the phone but only removable by removing the back and the battery. The Nokia 5800 takes a micro SD memory card that can go up to 16GB in size that also slots into the side of the phone that the SIM goes in. The general use of this phone is simple and to task with many shortcuts through menus including the 4 buttons on the front of the phone one of which opens a shortcut menu for media applications including music...

Review of Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Phone

Advantages: internet connection , comes with spare stilus
Disadvantages: slightly delayed speed due to touch screen and tedious nature

...I was due for an upgrade and once again in the position of selecting a new phone.Having browsed online i came across the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and was instantly captivated by its unique appearance .I have to admit i'v always been a fan of Nokia and Samsung and having used this phone , Nokia has definately topped the list . It has a wide variety of functions ranging from the classics such as texting and calls to touchscreen ,internet connection and a unique handwriting feature which allows you to write directly onto the screen with the help of the stilus (writing wand).Althiugh this idea is fairly innovative and does create the impression of an expensive phone , I personally found it to be slightly tedious and preffererred to text the normal way. It includes a camera of 3.2pixels allowing photographs of moderate quality,which is...

Alamo - Los Angeles

Advantages: They hire out cars
Disadvantages: Poor customer service, just want to take your money and see ya later

...Before I begin here, I just would like to point out that this is a review only on the service given at the Alamo in Los Angeles. Here goes ... I had booked to hire a 4x4 online through Alamo - the only reason I picked them was that they were the cheapest I could find. We had a one way hire from LA to Miami, and the car which was a Chevy Blazer was great in itself, spacious, it held all our luggage (we had a lot for just 3 of us), comfortable, decent radio cd system, the lot. Nothing luxurious, but it did us for our trip across America. (Visiting San Francisco, Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Roswell, Dallas, Memphis, New Orleans, Orlando, and Miami - so we did a lot of miles). Anyway, we collected it on July 13th 2004 from the 'airport', which isn't actually at LAX, but you get on a shuttle which takes you there. Which took...

Review of Alamo Rent A Car

nokia 5800 express music, a great phone!

Advantages: so many great features and looks great!
Disadvantages: took me a while to work out where the sim card went! but thats probably just down to me, lol

...cool, it shows you where you are and your able to find local services on the maps, like garages and car parks. Really cool! I also like the way you are able to cut together to video clips and add a soundtrack and then you can upload it to the web! The video and pictures are really clear and colour perfect. You can load these to the computer or show them through your tv. The mp3 ringtones are crystal clear in sound, and the headphones you get with the phone are good too. Your also able to plug your phone into the computer and download music to your phone. The menu display is good and its easy to find what you want. It comes with three games, bounce touch, a guitar game and a car racing game, all good but takes a while to get the hang of the touch screen with the games. You get earphones, a extra stylus, a plecktrum (to use instead...

Wii Music Falls Flat

Advantages: Good Amount Of Instruments To Play
Disadvantages: Very boring, Doesn't Let You play Beats, Just A God Awful Game

...This is a very different review for me, so I hope you enjoy it. Please rate and comment. Thank you. Wii Music I have spent weeks trying to get Wii music from Game at a good price, I missed the sale, so the only prices they had left was £34 and there was no way in hell that I was going to buy a game at that price. After a very hectic day, we ended up in a small town whilst my sister was getting her brace fixed, after sitting in the car in a traffic jam for 2 hours to get there (in the heat mind you), we were about ready to pass out in the car, so went for a little walk and found a blockbusters. There sitting in front of me was the game I wanted for £22.98 which was the price I was willing to pay. I came home with the game and for about 10 minutes I had great time learning the controls and playing the different games...

Alamo - Orlando International Airport

Advantages: Many outlets; range of vehicles
Disadvantages: Queues poor customer care

...never used Alamo beforebut it came with part of our package from British Airways. Before our trip we had filled in a "Quick Pass" which basically meant us filling in our driver details before the holiday and thus saving time queing and relaying details. Arrived at the Alamo desk at the airport and saw a long line of people - however theQuick Pass sign was out and no-one in the queue. stood there and once a new assistant came free waited for the nod to go forward - nope he ignored us - not one to be ignored stepped forward to be told that "we dont really bother with Quick Pass anymore - you'll have to stand in line. I didn't. told them that I had not wasted my time filling in a card and mailing it etc to be told to stand in line and wait. with a grunt and groan he served me and gave me "directions" of where to pick the car from...

nokia 5800 Xpress music, saves carrying an mp3/ipod

Advantages: Easy to use. Good memory (8Gb). Good camara
Disadvantages: A bit bulky in the trouser pocket

...I recently up-graded my old samsung flip phone with this new nokia model, as an upgrade the handset was free with my contract, taking into account I have a minimum cost contract the phone is very good value. I chose this phone becuase of the 8Gb of memory so I could transfer a good quantity of music to the handset, as I live an active lifestyle(mountain biking,snowboarding and motorcycling) it would save me carrying an extra ipod. the handset comes complete with all data transfer cables you would ever need, a hard cover to protect the touch screen and hands free kit with remote control. I found it easy to use from the start using texts and internet, it has a very useful wi-fi search facility to locate free access to the internet. So far it has proved to be resiliant enough for my daily life and would highly recommend. I would...
