Samsung E-magine

Advantages: Slim, light, easy to use, good sound system
Disadvantages: Poor quality camera, outdated

...After my Nokia 7373 broke, I should say after I broke it, but that's not something to go into now, I realised I was still paying for a £35 a month contract and getting no benefit so I went in search in a new phone. The problem is now when you buy a pay as you go phone that so many of them are network locked, so I knew I was far better off buying a phone on the right network. Better safe than sorry. I didn't think I was in any great rush to buy a phone but one lunchtime after a particularly bad morning at college, I decided to pop along to the local Tesco and have a look for a new phone. The choice was relatively limited but amongst the usual tat I noticed something that I quite liked. It was a Samsung E250. I had previously had the D500, about eighteen months ago, so I knew they were reliable, the menus were easy to use...

Review of Samsung SGH E250

E, how did I ever live without this?!

Advantages: attractive, loads of features, good contract
Disadvantages: /

.... They were not offering BlackBerries on the plan I wanted, but I did find a really nice phone in the form of the Nokia E71 and as soon as I read about it, I knew it was the one for me. Once again I processed the order, and much to my surprise an email came through a few days later, telling me that the order had been successful and that my phone would be with me in a few days. I have never felt so relieved in all my life! After what seemed like forever, I picked up my new phone from the post office and rushed home. Sitting myself down, I carefully prised open the box to discover the contents. Sitting on top was the shell of my phone, incomplete without its battery or sim card. Removing this and the top layer, I discovered the rest of the wonders that came with the package. Along with the dozen leaflets and little booklets you get telling you...

Samsung E900

Advantages: Style
Disadvantages: Not an iPhone (Isn't packed with features), Processing noise

...I bought my Samsung E900 a few years ago now for around £80. I wasn't looking for anything fancy and this phone was exactly that - quite good looking with pretty basic features. ~~~ Looks / Style ~~~ I was looking through a catalogue at all the various phones and this appeared to be one of the best looking without being too expensive. When I finally got it I was just as pleased with it looking at it for real as I was when looking at it in the catalogue. It has a shiny black finish, which can show fingerprints quite clearly and the overall look and feel of the phone is smooth. When you don't touch it for a few seconds it basically just looks like a black box with a silver button in the middle. ~~~ Ease of Use ~~~ My main use for the phone is for texting. It's very easy to that on this phone, because you can...

Binatone e800 - the budget handset

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Lack of enhanced functions

...Introduction At work, we still live in the dark ages where wired telephones are very much the norm. In our office however, we have dedicated support PC's which we constantly need to move to from our own PC's. As it was getting silly with trailing wires all over the office floor, the boss decided to buy us a new hands free phone kit. The kit he went for was the Binatone E800 twin set. I think this was probably the cheapest he could find but nonetheless we were still grateful as it was an unexpected gesture from him. In the box The box itself was very small, containing just the 2 handsets, 2 small bases, a power lead and the instruction manual. Being IT guys, we completely ignored the manual and attempted to set the phones up the way we thought. Setup Before we could use the handsets, they needed to be...

Review of Binatone E800

The E71 is a fantastic smartphone, packed with features.

Advantages: Packed with features, big and bright screen, astonishing battery life
Disadvantages: Poor camera

...The Nokia E71 is a Symbian-based Smartphone, with a full QWERTY keyboard. I've had this for three months now, which I feel is a sensible amount of time to be able to give a full informed opinion on how easy the phone is to live with. I got this on contract with Orange through an online retailer (http://www.mobiles.co.uk), on a 24-month contract with £250 automatic cashback, for £40 per month, which gave me 1200 minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB data per month on Orange. Well, that's the package, but what about the phone itself? First of all, personally I think it's a fantastic looking phone. The buttons are all neatly laid out (which is a must, with so many of them!), and despite the keypad buttons being small, it's easy to use, and even with sausage fingers like I have, I don't often hit a wrong key. The finish oozes...

Review of Nokia E71

Nokia E71

Advantages: Looks Great, battery life is excellent, email and wi fi functions
Disadvantages: no push email, menu graphics could look better

...I recently bought an iphone which as a phone I was really disappointed with. I wanted to find a phone, which could email and undertake business applications whilst still look cool when I pulled it out in a bar at the weekend. What can I say? The Nokia E71 is all of these things. It's a solid mobile phone that looks great and does all the things it says on the tin. If I had to be negative on some points, then it would be that the menu and graphics could be more modern in their appearance and email needs to be synchronized. However on the whole the phone is excellent If you're looking for a sharp looking phone that you can use for business that won't let you down, then buy the Nokia E75....

Mercedes E 220 CDI

Advantages: comfortable, economical
Disadvantages: questionable electronics, technical design

...Stumbled across a single review of this vehicle which struck me as too eulogistic to be of much use. I live in Europe where attitudes to Mercedes products are less reverential and have had a manual transmission E220 CDi since Oct.2003 (which I'd like to sell). This model with 150 bhp/340nm. has effectively been superceded since July 2006 by a revised model with 170bhp and approx 400nm. and which among some 2000 changes has done away with the brake by wire system and probably other curiosities as well. Any German-speaking reader should look at ownership surveys, such as in Auto Motor und Sport 10 November 2004 edition. It is certainly a roomy, comfortable car to drive with good ride quality, low noise levels and fuel consumption and enough middle-range performance to perform very well on motorways. The weight, clunky...

Off the Wall-E!

Advantages: Clever animation
Disadvantages: None

...Most of the mums and dads out there will have enjoyed the recent serge of cartoons that make kids feel like adults or the ones that make adults feel like kids, stuffed full of in-jokes for the grown ups like the family are with popcorn (the worlds biggest mark-up on a food snack!) in the cinemas, a great way to get the whole family into those multiplexes as they gulp their bumper Cokes and the money roles in. But with WALL- E we have the first real carton aimed at adults that the kids can watch too, if they are well-behaved, politically aware pixel animation definitely the future. It really is a smart commercial more by Pixel and a really clever little flick to-boot that they have come up with here, comfortably one of the best films of the year, one you can watch over and over again. I don't normally fall for the hype that the likes...

Review of Wall-E (DVD)

E series For Business class

Advantages: Excellent Connectivity features, Camera and battery Life
Disadvantages: nothing

...I always like Nokia phones but there are some other brands also have excellent phones so that I can't ignore that also. So I have tested almost all brands and now again going to discuss new phone from Nokia in business series that is called as E series. *** The phone Nokia E66 is great in many terms and the first and very interesting feature you will definitely like that is its attractive slim sliding design. Phone has a very beautiful look with dimension is about 107.5 x 49.5 x 13.6 mm, and it has a sliding design. I like most of sliding phones as they really look attractive and beautiful. Most of the phones in sliding category have thicker than this one, this phone has only 13.6mm thickness and it is really a slim phone in sliding category phones. Display size is an average with 240 x 320 pixels resolution screen, about 2.4 inches...

Samsung E250

Advantages: Planner
Disadvantages: Memory card needed

...The Samsung E250 is a bit of a let down to my other phone which broke and I have had a lot of phones but the reasons why it is a good phone are shown below along with a few bad points but every phone has bad points this one has an advantage to other phones. The fact that it is a slide phone mean that it is helpful for calls all you have to do is just have slide it up and the call is answered. The phone has good reception, which is good because the majority of phones have poor reception. If you want a phone the better the reception the better the phone actually is. The phones colour is great and has some depth to it. I have owned many phones and this one is the best by far for colour. The phone has a VGA camera which is ok for videos and pictures the effects that the edit section has are brilliant it allows you to add clipart, frames...
