Toshiba E740 - Good in Theory?

Advantages: New 400Mhz processor**Good neat design**64Mb in-built memory
Disadvantages: Cannot support Pocket PC 2003**A bit buggy

...Toshiba E740, one of the first pocket pcs to have the power of Intel PXA250 400 MHz, does sound impressive, doesn't it? It has a smooth silver metal design, is compact and supports pocket pc 2002. It has a digital voice recorder, pocket word and excel, all the standard pocket pc programs in the included installation cd. **The E740 comes with a CF (Compact Flash) Slot, and an SD Slot for memory. There are 4 buttons and a small silver directional pad on the very front of the pocket pc, below the screen. The other buttons are along the edges of this device, including the recorder's button, which is unwittingly pressed when the device happens to press against anything (in a bag, in your pocket), turning it on and recording you without you knowing, draining the battery. You also press the buttons by mistake when trying to get...

Hot point WF740 in Silver

Advantages: Digital Display, Door opens quickly after cycle ends
Disadvantages: Quite a long wash time for the most used wash cycle

...In dire need of a machine that didn't pogo across the kitchen floor we went to Curry's and had a look around. Eventually we settled for the Hotpoint, Aquarius WF740 in silver. The washing machine I had before was OK (except the pogo'ing) and only ever went wrong once in the time I had it but this new machine is so excellent, forgive me if I go on a bit. x THE FEATURES My favourite feature of the Hotpoint WF740 is the digital display. It is an LED display in red and shows up really well when you turn the machine on. As you select the programme you want on the dial it shows you the length of time the wash will take, the temperature and the spin strength. Once you have selected the programme you need and pressed start it counts down the length of time you have left until the wash is finished. This is a brilliant feature as you can...

Creative Soundworks 740 - awesome

Advantages: Its a cracking piece of kit for the price
Disadvantages: no DAB radio

...I am an audiophile and music fanatic with a large and very diverse music collection. I have a very decent separates system in my front room and a high quality audio set up through my PC in my office. I was in the market for a very compact yet high quality stereo system with punch for my newly extended kitchen primarily for entertaining. I stumbled across the Creative Soundworks whilst browsing the web primarily for the Bose Wave system. I didn't want to spend the money (£400+) on the Bose but the only alternative seemed to be a reasonable quality mini system. I stumbled across 100's of positive reviews for the 740 as a Bose alternative and they seemed too good to be true. Overall the reviews suggested that the Creative was a match for the Bose in terms of sound quality, but not in looks. However the fact that the Creative has...

Volvo 740 GLE Automatic

Advantages: long useful life, very rust resistant, good aftersales
Disadvantages: big gas guzzling engines

...Volvo opinion The preamble may appear to be devoted to our Mitsubishi campervan but this opinion essentially concerns our ?B? reg Volvo 740 GLE Automatic, colour metallic blue so I must ask you, dear Reader, to bear with me, please, for a paragraph or two (or three). We bought it, our first ever Volvo, last June at the same time as we bought a Mitsubishi campervan. I mention this because it was through buying the van that we were offered the Volvo. The man from whom we bought the van drove it down to Ashford from his home in the ancient and attractive Kentish city of Rochester. He had forgotten a few items belonging to the van so returned home to get them. While there, he bumped into a friend of his who, during their chat, mentioned he was selling a Volvo for a friend who needed the cash. He rang me and told me about...

I just bought a second hand 740iL

Advantages: Size, Power, sheer luxury, brilliant handling, huge boot, silky V8 Engine
Disadvantages: Some reliability issues, fuel consumption, maintenance

...27 November 2005. About two weeks ago, I bought a 1995 740iL with 153000 miles on. I've always wanted a 3 series, but a salesman in South Africa convinced me to try a V8 530i. When I moved to England, I NEEDED to own another V8 engined car. Because I have kids, the huge 740iL seemed a good choice. First the bad. The first night I had it, it lost all its power steering fluid. The second day, it overheated in traffic in London 3 times. A week later, I again lost p/s fluid. It is going in for repairs tomorrow, which leaves me nervous, due to the high cost of parts. If you are OK with second hand parts or reconditioned parts, you can save 740iL bootloads of cash ;) Now the good. The car is stupefyingly good! I bought it for £2000. That is two thousand pounds. Go ahead; look for a new hatch back for that price. True, I...

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...

Volvo 740 Estate - A Great Safe Family Car

Advantages: Safe, lots of extras, reasonable insurance, easy to drive
Disadvantages: A bit high on petrol

...We recently decided that our car was too small for our family and that an estate would be a much better proposition. Eventually we decided on a Volvo Estate and were delighted when an F Reg 740SE came into our local paper. Anyway we bought it and it is a great car. I have never driven such a big car but due to the automatic gear box and power assisted steering it is very easy and light to drive. I had never driven an automatic or power assisted car before and was a bit hesitant but it was no problem. We have a young daughter and we certainly feel very comfortable and safe in this car. It has loads of room in it and we can even put her pram in without having to take it apart. This particular model has electric windows, electric sunroof, electric wing mirrors and heated front seats! Unfortunately it is quite heavy on petrol...

Review of Volvo 740

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...

Stylus Colour 740, You Are Cleared For Take Off!

Advantages: Great Quality, Speedy, Easy to Use, Long Life Cartridges, Can Hold Quite Alot of Paper,
Disadvantages: Cartridges Expensive, (mostly),

...We got the 740 when we bought a PC package, it was around £180, (a long time ago), and we were very pleased, it has great photo capabilities and speed for the lighter documents, so overall it is very good. Picture Quality = The picture quality on this printer is very good, but after writing that I also have to say that you have to put the settings on ?excellent? before the printer will print well. I don?t really think that it was meant to be a photo printer, but a document printer, but either way the prints are always of good quality, with crisp straight lines, and with perfect colour sensitivity. So overall the printer is great for anyone that needs a printer to print out things like this review, or to print out things like photographs, overall it is very good. Printing Speed The printing speed is...
