Advantages: Quality Pictures, Easy to use, Compact
Disadvantages: Price but still worth it for a decent camera

...the Nikon D40x it had everything we wanted including a sport mode which was the main feature I wanted, as border collies don't keep still for very long! Me knowing absolutely nothing about digital SLR cameras was just happy to have a cool new camera get it home and try it out. ** The Nikon D40x Features ** *Auto-Focus Just like the previous model (D40) this camera has an auto focus feature all though it does not have a built in focus drive motor, so only works with lenses that have their own built in drive motor, suitable lenses for this feature are AF-S and AF-I lenses. The auto focus is brilliant for fast moving dogs and cars and anything else that moves so you can get pictures quickly, features of the auto focus include… Three area TTL phase detection, Nikon Multi-CAM530 auto focus module Detection range: EV -1 to +19 *10...

Advantages: Small, light, great camera, great features, stylish, well-built, free on Talk120 or above, exclusive as it's only on Orange.
Disadvantages: Only available on Orange at present, only free on Talk120 or above, expensive on Pay As You Go, clam-shell design not to everyone's liking.

...-pad. Battery life and talktime claims can often be a source of annoyance, but in practice the X70's battery lasts around 3 days before you even need to consider charging it, although this is obviously going to be shortened by heavy use. For everyday use however, the battery life is excellent. It's hard to find fault with the X70, I've only had it two months, but it seems to be the most complete phone I've ever used. Navigation is simple, call quality is brilliant, messaging is easy, it has an awesome, super-sharp camera, and to cap it off, the phone has a very stylish design and finish. The only negatives that I can think of are that the phone is only available on the Orange network, and to get it free you need to get a Talk120 or above contract, which will cost you £25 a month. However, not many operators offer a phone this good for free... Read review

Advantages: special effects, acting, political message, hotness
Disadvantages: Nightcrawler, Halle Berry wasted

...started with his claws and quickly turns it off because *NSYNC is playing. That particular boy-band won’t stand the test of time, but the X-Men series, with its fantastic special effects, meaningful plot, intriguing characters, and brilliant acting, will (and should) continue for years to come. This movie introduces several young students who could play larger roles in the inevitable sequels. Footnotes * My friends from Westchester would like me to point out that it is not, as the film claims, “upstate,” but is, in fact, a suburb of New York City. ** As they fly in their jet, the X-Men pick up a radio feed from "Hanscom Air Force Base," which is about 5 miles from my house.

Advantages: Have your say
Disadvantages: I had my say

...this is a clever move by Chico and his manager Judge Sharon, no matter if he fails to win the X-Factor, you can guarantee this will be a hit record for him. I can't wait until the clock stops ticking, and Chico time is up! WHAT TIME IS IT? TIME FOR YOU TO GET GOING MATE! Shayne Ward This guy is a favourite amongst the girlies, and the last contestant in Judge Louis Walsh's group. He is no doubt a great looking lad, has a brilliant set of lungs on him, and everything a successful pop star is made of. Shayne must be favourite to win the show. He gets great criticism off all the judges, and his fan following is already amazing. I think this 21 year old from Manchester has a career in front of him no matter what happens to his participation in this show. Andy Abraham Also known as 'the binman', Andy, 41 years old from London, has a soulful... Read review

Advantages: Fix You
Disadvantages: Could be Be Here Now Mark 2.

...!). This is a more uplifting version of X&Y, it is a blend of ballad and anthem and it is one for the 50000 + stadiums. This was an easy choice for first single as it is one that would appeal to 14 year old girls who like McFly (no offence girls, or boys...). Martin dips in and out of the song with his voice as if he is making it up as he goes along, preparing for the next charming piano riff. It's arrangements are brilliant, just like Fix You's but the difference is that this song doesn't make sense but it still is better than what most bands will stick out nowadays. For some reason though, I just cannot get enough of the song, after the 500th listen of a song I generally get a bit bored of it but not this. I love it, you'll love it. 10/10. A Message - My song is love... My review on this song is love, it is brilliant. It is an acoustic guitar driven... Read review

Advantages: Fast-moving plot and a bunch of new characters
Disadvantages: A bit far-fetched in places

...exception to this may be Jean Grey/Phoenix, played by Famke Janssen fantastically. The alter-ego nature of the Phoenix has been captured perfectly by Janssen in my view, and she performs better than the other actors on show here. My Opinion I liked this film more than the other two X Men films. It had much more detail and action, and I was not bored once. I did not feel it dragged in the slightest, and there are some plot twist which make you wonder if ehat you have seen is actually the case. This happens a few times, none more so than the very end of the film (I shall not spoil it for you, don't worry!) I do like this film. At times, it runs the risk of being too far-fetched, and I am sure many would find this to be the case, but it does not stop it from being a brilliant action film with a stellar cast all performing well...

Advantages: Chocolate
Disadvantages: quality of the chocolate, everything else about the game

...would have to perform. Then the other players would vote as to whether the first player deserved a point. Also in the box were voting cards. These are red on one side with words like "great" and "brilliant" written on them. The other side is great with things like "worst ever" and "terrible." After a player performs a challenge, everyone else holds up the card with either the red side out or the grey, depending on whether they thought the player deserved a point. This is something that really puts me off this game; there are no right or wrong answers. One challenge was to "draw a picture of a judge." Since the player who received this challenge had never seen X Factor, she drew a very nice cartoon of a court judge in robe and wig. This was voted bad because it wasn't a picture of an X Factor judge, despite the fact she'd done a good... Read review

Advantages: Mindblowing speeds. Maxed out frame rate. Looks beautiful. TV out!!
Disadvantages: None.

...felt like crying with pride at what ATI and Connect3D had acheived, the game looked utterly brilliant. They'd allowed a King to ascend to the graphics card throne! The final thing on my to-do list was to try out 3D Mark 2001 on the card. For those wondering what 3D Mark is, its an advanced piece of software used for testing out graphics capabilities via pitting a few games against your card. It took under 5 minutes for 3D mark to churn out its results...22000 3D marks. Jaw dropping to say the least! In Conclusion So it doesn't sing Heartbreak Hotel, or consume half a dozen quarter pounders in one sitting. But it does everything else The King of graphics cards should do. Sure its expensive, costing around three xboxs, but for once I can say its most certainly worth the money. The Connect3D X800 Radeon is brilliant, and if your... Read review

Advantages: Funny, entertaining, tense, addictive
Disadvantages: The contestants are a little weak

...Last year's The X Factor kept millions of viewers all across the United Kingdom glued to their television sets on Saturday nights. The appeal? Here was finally a talent show with a storyline! As well as getting to see a bunch of untalented dreamers making fools out of themselves, getting attached to individual acts and wanting to see them through to the next rounds - the viewers got an additional treat - the tension between judges Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh and the their competition for one of the three categories. The X Factor is, after all, a competition open to anyone who wants to try out. For simplicity sake and in order to enable a true competition between the judges, the contestants are divided into different categories. There are the 16-24s, the 25s and over and the groups. In the auditions stage... Read review

Advantages: Small, sleek, stylish. Good camera, lots of features. Unusual.
Disadvantages: Scratches fairly easily. Text input can be slow.

...neat and does not affect the appearance of the handset. The back of the phone, when the battery is not in place, holds the sim card. The battery sits slightly raised from the phone but I do not find this to be a problem. The speaker and a carrying strap holder are also on the back. There are a couple of other 'features' but I don't think they have any function in particular. If I open the phone up it is all silver. I can see the screen on the top section, which measures around 4 x 3cm, which I feel is a good size for a flip phone. It is 262,000 colours, which is very clear and brilliant for showing off the pictures you have taken. Just below the screen is another holographic O2 logo. The earpiece is just above and either side of it are 2 cushioning pads to protect the phone while it is closed. The lower half of the phone whilst... Read review
