Toshiba Portege G500 - Business on the go

Advantages: Finger print recognition, GPS functionality, video calling
Disadvantages: High price, average features.

...The Toshiba Portege G500 was one of two smart phones released in the second quarter of 2007. However, with the introduction of Microsoft's new mobile operating system (Windows Mobile 6), Toshiba decided not to integrate the new system within the Toshiba Portege G500. Instead they went with the older Windows mobile 5 operating system. A wise choice? This phone like the Toshiba Portege G900 has fingerprint recognition, which is a security bonus for all users who like to keep their personal files private and confidential. Also with the new finger print technology you can program the G500 to respond to different finger prints, giving you the option to create short cuts with each unique and individual finger print. Windows mobile 5.0 as it is known, makes the G500 seem more like a portable PC than a mobile phone. Like many new smart...

Garlando G500 Table Football Table

Advantages: Commercial quality table at an affordable price.
Disadvantages: Assembly instructions and balls could be better.

...I recently bought a Garlando G500 table for use by all the family and have not been disappointed. I know Garlando tables from playing on their coin-operated models at college and was worried that the freeplay models would not give the same playability. However, the G500 uses the same telescopic rods as the tables I was used to and has the same size playing are so the feel is very similar. It is also heavy enough not to move around during play by 4 big lads and the contruction is completely rigid and very solid. Very few negatives other than a couple of the balls were a bit egg shaped although it came with 10 so 8 were fine ! The table was well delivered and was easy to set up although it did take some time to get the rods in the right order as the instructions were not very clear. You can see the G500 for sale onlline at www.garlando.co.uk....

Review of Garlando G500 Football Table

Top of the tables - ten out of ten

Advantages: Smooth rod action, Strong, Good finish, Professional Standard Football Table
Disadvantages: Tricky to level on an unlevel floor

...I've always enjoyed table football - but only on fast, proper full size football tables. I even won a medal for goalie in a college tournament, so when a major birthday loomed a year last November I decided to try and get my own football table. I tried various web sites and the one that seemed to offer the best combination of specification and value for money was the Garlando G500 from Table Sports Ltd. So I shelled out £285 plus £40 delivery on a Garlando G500 football table. It is like the one in "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" and has excellent smooth action telescopic steel playing rods with nylon bushes and ball bearings and a full set of moulded players in red and blue. The main table is made out of solid 25mm heavy duty MDF with butchers block melamine surface, and box section steel legs. The playing surface is green plastic...

The ultimate geeks toy

Advantages: Literally a computer in a phone size package
Disadvantages: Its very large compared to other pohnes on the market

...As I'm in the Computer trade I'm into my gadgets and I like to have all the latest functionality, this phone specifications ticked all my boxes, a fingerprint reader, wireless B&G and it was made by a known brand namely Toshiba. I got mine from ebuyer.com and it came sim free with a 512mb memory card. When it arrived the first thing I did was to slide the phone open which, as weird as it sounds was a smooth opening and closing action. At this point I noticed the size, it was considerably bigger than the pictures I had seen, the height a width are fine and leaves ample space for the screen and keyboard and doesn't lead to cramped fingers having to squeeze fingers into a cramped keyboard. However the depth of the device is the problem it is about twice the depth of my old V3 RAZR and means that you can't just slip into your pocket, its...

Phish Food

Advantages: Really tasty treat
Disadvantages: Packed with calories

...and ingredients helping add a variety of consistency and texture...what with the softness of the ice cream and the firm, hard chocolate. Phish food comes in a 427g/500ml purple and blue tub with the identifiable 'Ben and Jerry's' logo on the front in white and brown. At present this ice cream is retailing at approximately just under five pounds in the vast majority of supermarkets. Currently it can also be purchased at Tesco at half its usual price...but hurry who knows how long that will last?! In my opinion this ice cream if definitely worth trying and puts plain, dull, tasteless chocolate ice cream to shame. Just can't help but think it would be even tastier if it didn't carry such a hefty price tag! ~Ingredients~ Marshmallow (15%), Caramel (10%), Chocolate Fish (7.5%), Cream (23%), Water, Sugar, Glucose syrup, Condensed skimmed milk...

Review of Ben & Jerry's Phish Food

Back to basics (Sainsbury's)

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Status

...Whilst shopping in Sainsbury's I've increasingly been drawn to their basics range. My latest try is the 4 low fat yogurts for 29p (4 x 125g or 500g in total). Like most of the products in the basics range this is quite a bargain. I bought mine on the 6 March the use by date is almost 22 March. THE PRODUCT The four pots are come joined together at the top with one label covering all four. The label design is the same for all of the basics range a broad orange strip covers the product. There is plenty of information. NUTRITIONAL CONTENT per 100g: Energy 337 kj , protein 2.3g , carbohydrates 16 g of which sugar 14 g, little fat (0.7g) or fibre. Each of the 4 pots contains a different flavour mine, strawberry, peach melba, black cherry, raspberry. This makes the product even more appealing. FOR YOUR ATTENTION: ALLERGY...

E45 For Problem Dry Skin

Advantages: Works Really Well
Disadvantages: None

...absorbed by the skin, leaving it soft comfortable and relieved. This product can be used everyday by all members of the family including babies. It comes in a variety of sizes 125g and 500g which will be the size I will purchase the next time I run out as it will be more cost effective. The 50g product cost £2.14 unfortunately I am unsure of the price of the larger sizes. There is absolutely no smell whatsoever to this product which is great as some similar items can be quite potent. I have found no disadvantages whatsoever from using this product. It does exactly what it claims to do. I have noticed a difference in the appearance of my skin particularly on my hands as hospital alcohol hand gel can be quite abrasive with long-term use. This cream is effective in combating this condition and I would have no problems in recommending it to...

Beautiful Camera

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...Ultra-Compact, lightweight and high-quality SLR camera. Successor to New EOS Kiss/REBEL G/500N. Based on the concept of "easier to use and more comfortable" than the former model, it is smaller and lighter weight. It also has a higher performance AF system, exposure control and other basic features. A seven focusing-point wide-view AF system is used instead of the conventional three focusing-point AF. The focusing speed is equivalent to that of the EOS 55/ELAN II E/50E. This camera has 35-zone evaluative metering instead of the conventional 6-zone metering, E-TTL flash exposure control linked to an active focusing point, and other basic features, such as easy depth of field preview , higher speed of 1.5 fps film advance, shorter viewfinder black-out time, mid-roll film rewind button and a wireless remote control (Japanese model only...

Why settle for anything other than GOLD !!

Advantages: taste and aroma
Disadvantages: a bit pricey

...and gold Blend written in gold. The back label has the usual printed information. Granules - Once broken into the gold seal you get a rich aroma from the slightly lighter in colour granules. Not too sure why they are lighter in colour compared to the original granules but they taste great and mix well. Some people take no sugar but this is really good with a little sugar for a relaxing drink. This variety in my opinion is a much better coffee than the others. It is strong but yet smooth without any kind of after taste or some time known as "coffee breath". It is nothing compared to filter coffee, which are too strong so this is perfect for me. Variety - There are a number of sized jars you can get in this variety such as 100g, 200g, 300g, 500g and 750g. You can also get decaffeinated versions as well as half-caff, maybe not in all sizes...
