Motorola E1000 - remember the 1970s powercuts ?

Advantages: Stylish, robust, packed with features, video calling
Disadvantages: Battery life

...The Motorola E1000 is one of the new, feature-packed, third generation (3g) mobile phones recently launched in a blaze of publicity. The phone looks and feels very nice - it's candy-bar shaped with a large, colourful screen and the buttons feel firm and durable. It currently only comes in black but it's early days yet. --- 3G --- One of the key selling points of this phone is that it benefits from the new 3g technology which, amongst other things allows you to download and play video clips in mpeg4 format and also make & receive video calls to compatible handsets. Can you imagine the possibilities that opens up ?! How many times have you been away on business and call the kids to say goodnight ? With this phone they can hear AND see you saying goodnight. There are those out there who will, no doubt, come up with more...

Sony Handycam DCR HC1000E

Advantages: Excellent Image with 3CCD, Lightweight and Easy to Use
Disadvantages: Now obsolete due to High-Def 3CCD Camcorders

...with them. The DCR H1000E is no exception and used a superb lens which gives superb clarity to the images. And being able to focus manually is a great addition to this camera. Sometimes you really need that manual control for fast focussing (which autofocus cameras are not particularly good at) and also to add effects, because the point of focus may not be in the main part of the frame. The Zebra pattern is only of interest to quite serious photographers, and for those reading this it operates just as most others do and there is nothing exceptional about it. For those that want to know what it is I suggest looking for a reputable website or a good book, because its importance and use are beyond the scope of a review. The spot meter and spot focus are rather more for the serious types, but in a nutshell it gives you a much great control...

Motorolla E1000 - in summary!!

Advantages: Large screen, great sound, expandable memory
Disadvantages: iTap dictionary, 10 seconds max video capture.

...Ok, I've had this phone for 2 months now, and all in all I'm very happy with it. I work in IT and am forever seeing the latest models bought in by colleagues and any duff purchase is sure to attract some ribbing from the guys, not so with the E1000. Personally , I like candy bar phones so my choice was fairly limited anyway, but this phone does it all, bar infa red. I use a PCMCIA bluetooth card to transfer data between my laptop and phone, back up phone book, calendar etc. I use Motorolla phone tools which is very good but unfortunately is subject to a charge, I think I saw it for about £23 but if you look in the right places you might find it as cheap as free, cough. The camera is very good quality and the flash is essential for good pictures in dark surroundings, and I made a video call to test it out which is good also...

1000 Tattoos

Advantages: Beautiful photography, loads of tattoos
Disadvantages: The text at the beginning is boring.

...I became obsessed with tattoos at a very young age; I would look for tattoos on people and often ask them what their tattoos meant and why they got them. Predictably at about 14 years old I started to want a tattoo. I pestered my Mum for two years solid and when I was 16 she thought she'd call my bluff. She marched me into a tattooist and told me to pick a tattoo and get it done there and then. She thought I would wimp out but I didn't and I still love the tattoo I got that day. I guess some people are just meant to get ink. Anyway, I digress the point in hand is the fabulous book, "1000 Tattoos". I found this little gem in a bookshop that was closing down for the princely sum of £1.00 although on Amazon copies are selling from £17.30 to £52.39. ~~~~~~ The cover of the book has tattoo photos on the front and back, the back being...

Who Needs Instruction Books Anyway?

Advantages: MP3 player, Stereo Speakers, Easy Interface
Disadvantages: Battery life, size

..., with Hutchison claiming that their Three network now provides full 3G coverage to 80% of the UK. So what about the phones? Big? Bulky? Unwieldy? These have been some of the descriptions of the first wave of 3G capable phones to hit the market but recently Motorola launched their latest challenger, the E1000, and it's a nifty little unit that will redefine the 3G phone market place. Barely larger than most of the 2G phones many of us use on a daily basis, the E1000 is a phone that can easily be used day-to-day without the user feeling embarrassed to have some unusual looking piece of technology in their hand. Weighing in at 140grams the E1000 is heavier than the average mobile but not enough to feel out of place in your pocket, while the 114x52x23 (mm) size is diminutive by 3G phone standards and is on a par, for example, with Nokia...

Pentax K1000

Advantages: Unlimited use
Disadvantages: Need to buy a flash separate

...In this age of high technology automatic electronic equipment it pays to take a step back to the simple things such as the Pentax K1000 camera. The fully manual 35mm SLR obviously requires complete user control but for the photographer who doesn’t want to be limited by a camera’s ability, this is the one for you. The only power needed is for the exposure meter from a small battery which is activated when the lens cap is removed. The built-in through-the-lens meter measures the average brightness of the ground glass at full aperture and then couples to the aperture, shutter and film speed settings. The shutter mechanism is completely manual meaning that the camera can still be used even when the battery is exhausted, with a little guess work for the exposure. The focal plane shutter extends from speeds B, 1 second to 1/1000...

Dell Vostro 1000

Advantages: Cheap and well spec'd
Disadvantages: No disadvantages when priced at £352

...of Dell laptops always seem to be getting better. I made the decision to buy. The snag I found was this Dell Vostro 1000 was a range that is only available to business customers. This wasn't really a major problem, as I could just buy it as a business. Purchasing as a business has a drawback, but it also has a pro point. The drawback to buying as a business is that the distance selling regulations only apply to consumers, so you cannot send it back within 7 days if you change your mind. The pro point is that the laptops tend to have less rubbish installed on them, than their equivalent consumer models. The specifcation of the Laptop I purchased was: AMD AthlonTM 64 X2 Dual Core Processor TK-53 (1.7GHz,512KB) 2GB RAM Integrated ATI Radeon® Xpress 1150 HyperMemoryTM 15.4" Wide Screen WXGA (1280x800) display 120GB Hard...
