The Energizer Battery Charger

Advantages: Good value for money
Disadvantages: Takes a long time to charge batteries

.... This charger was on offer. The normal RRP being £17.99. The charger came with four AA size Energizer 2500mAH batteries. These were the same size of battery that I required for my camera. My camera however only requires two batteries so I thought that this would be ideal as I could always have a spare set of fully charged batteries with me when I was out and about with my camera. This charger comes packaged in a thick plastic packet that was moulded around the shape of the charger. This packaging is transparent so you can see what you are buying before you part with your money. The charger itself is rather modern looking and very compact. It is also very lightweight and weighs only 132g. Size wise it measures just 80cm long by 10cm wide and it is less than 3cm thick. The prongs of the plug are moulded into the design of the charger...

Review of Energizer CHDCWB-4 Battery Charger

the intelligent battery charger.

Advantages: Cheap, reliable, long lasting, reasonable price.
Disadvantages: Still gets warm. Plastic plug = breakable?

...charge them in the car if it's that urgent? ---FEATURES--- Intelligent Delta V is at the end of the charge detection system, which lets you know when the batteries are fully charged, and another plus thing is that the batteries don't heat up, unlike the earlier models, which have green batteries, which get extremely hot during charge and need to be let to cool down. There is a built in safety timer, and a bad cell detection system, also it wont let you charge an odd number of batteries, like 1 or 3. It's great for people that are on the go and like a quick charge. I'd say it does it in around 40 minutes, I have used older batteries like 1800, but they are not really meant for this charger, as I dont see the difference when they are charged in here. With my model I also got an adaptor which plugs into the cigarette lighter in...

Review of Uniross Sprint 90 min - Battery charger 4xAA/AAA - included batteries: 4 x AA type NiMH 2500 mAh

Excellent Battery Charger

Advantages: Charging time of 5 hours, Includes 4 AA batteries, Compact design
Disadvantages: None

...The Uniross x-press 300 is a good charger which supports a range of different battery sizes. I bought this charger last year because I bought a wireless mouse and keyboard so made more sense getting rechargeable batteries rather than spending money on normal batteries every few weeks. I went with Uniross as they make decent rechargeable batteries and are well known for it. This x-press 300 charges AAA, AA & 9V size batteries. It lets you charge 2 or 4 AA/AAA and one 9V batteries of the same type at the same time. It's suitable for AA, AAA and 9V (PP3) NiCd and NiH batteries. To use AAA batteries you simply flip down a little holder within the charger and it will hold the AAA batteries to charge. The plug in design makes it easy to use and the built in mains transformer means there are no leads or adaptors. You simply plug it in...

Review of Uniross X-Press 300 - Battery charger - 5-9 hr - 4xAA/AAA, 2x9V - included batteries: 4 x AA type NiMH 2300 mAh

Good battery charger for it's price

Advantages: Charges quickly, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Doesn't feel too strong... Not much of a problem.

...I bought this so that I wouldnt' have to keep paying for batteries all the time for my camera. Most battery chargers cost a lot more than this one did (I bought this one for about £12, from Amazon), so it was good to get a deal on it. The package includes the charger itself, 4 AA batteries and a car adapter, so you can charge your batteries in the car. The batteries are easy to insert, there are two spring-loaded extensions that spring out. These are so you can charge AAA batteries as well, and they fold away when you're charging AA batteries. I find that charging batteries doesn't take very much time at all, I just leave them in for a short while and after a short while the red light turns green to show that the charge is complete. The build of the charger doesn't seem very strong, it feels rather plasticky. However, I haven't had...

Review of Uniross X-Press 700 - Battery charger - AC / car 4xAA/AAA - included batteries: 4 x AA type 2500 mAh

My V3

Advantages: Easy to use and some nice features
Disadvantages: Battry life is not the best

...Over view I have had my V3 for 22 months now and it has been very reliable, it feels nice to hold and use and easy to fit in pocketswithout bulging. It is light and a nice colour (grey metal). The keyboard feels nice and is nicely illuminated when using. The display has a nice viewing area. I love my V3, it is still fashionable and up to date Keypad I love the keys on the V3 they are stylish and easy to use, your finger glides easily over them and easy to press the keys. The keys on the side of the phone often get pressed if the phone is in your pocket. Price I brought it as part of a deal, the phone was free and I got a free blue tooth ear peice which I vary rarely use - I was paying £20 per month for 6 months and now I pay £16 and get some free minutes and texts included. Battery The battery charges quite quickly...

Review of Motorola V3

V3RY good flipping phone!

Advantages: stylish, small, fits in every handbag
Disadvantages: not as robust as other mobiles

...***MOTOROLA*** Motorola was founded in 1928 by Paul Galvin. The first product was a 'battery eliminator' so that people could operate radios from household power rather than batteries. The name Motorola suggests 'sound' in 'motion'. The company has continued to grow and develop keeping up with new trends and inventions. Motorola are always changing and updating their products. I have had three Motorola phones and one negative experience. The V3 however is an amazing little phone and I will tell you a little about it below. ***APPEARANCE*** The first thing I noticed about this phone was how thin it is. I can't stand bulky phones that are impossible to fit in a small pocket. This phone is perfect for me as can pop in my jacket pocket or in my jeans. It does not feel uncomfortable and does not stick into me. Working in a school I...

Review of Motorola V3

Moto V3

Advantages: Slim, Stylish and elegant
Disadvantages: Speaker are not too good

...Motorola V3 was the first motorola phone i buy with my money, when it first launched at the year of 2003 (i guess) i was exhausted to buy it, but the price was very high at that time so i have to collect my money first, and in the end of 2005, after a quite long time of waiting, i finally bought it, the phone of my dream =) i like this phone because of its the thinnest phone at that time and especially the design was very impressive, fit in my pocket, easy to use, i can take a picture every time i want (cause my old phone doesn't have any camera) although its camera still VGA, on my point of view this phone is almost complete except for one thing, the speaker are not to good, especially when playing song or make a call. Here is the specification : * External dimensions: 13.9 x 55 x 98 millimeters * Weight: 95 grams...

Review of Motorola V3

Moto V3

Advantages: Easy to use, looks great, easy to slide in pocket!!!
Disadvantages: The battery doesnt last long enough and its really fragile!!!

...The motorola V3 is a really nice looking little phone and when they first hit the market they were a must have accesory for the fashion concious due to there long list of impressive features and there amazingly compact and sleek design, when they were first made available in the UK they were by far the most attractive and modern handset on the market and were the fashion accesory that everyone wanted to have. HANDSET OPTIONS The V3 handset was originally released in silver however they are now available in silver, black, pink, lilac, blue and a limited editon gold version, this was by far the most appealing version, it was designed by D&G and came with a gold phone charm attatched to it in the shape of the D&G logo.

Review of Motorola V3

Motorola V3 Black

Advantages: Slimline, Light, Ease of use
Disadvantages: Battery life, camera, memory

...I had this phone as a birthday present to replace my old monochrome Nokia. It would be unfair to compare the 2 as they are chalk and cheese as mobile technology has moved on greatly in the period between purchasing the 2 phones. The v3 has all the features I required, namely mp3 ringtones, bluetooth and a camera. As I am not a heavy mobile phone user this was more than adequate for me. The camera is only a standard VGA (256k) camera which, compared to the latest camera phones is way out of date, but in the year I've had the phone I'm probably only ever used the camera 2 or 3 times anyway, so for me this is not a problem. It has a 4 times zoom which does give you a bit of flexibility if you need to get that close up piccy. The phone comes with a large selection of built in polyphonic ringtones, so of which are good, some not...

Review of Motorola V3

The Original RAZR V3

Advantages: Great Looks
Disadvantages: Not very durable

...connected to a PC to download songs and pictures. Useability: - The V3 is a very useable phone. The fact that is a 'flip' phone is one that I enjoy and this protects the keypad inside from wearing off or scratching, which I have had problems with with other phones. It fits nicely into the palm but is not very strong or durable. I have dropped my phone from a heigh of a few feet (by accident of course!) and the battery holder now doesn't quite fit on properly. However, if you aren't clumsylike me then you should have no problems with this phone, but if you are, beware of problems everytime you drop it. The phone itself is easy to navigate, although I found that it took sometime to get used to, as one would expect. The texting however is quite poor, the phone finds it hard to keep up with even a reasonably slow rate of texting, which can...
