Looks The Part, But You Won't Respect It In The morning

Advantages: Great camera and media centre
Disadvantages: Diabolical GPS, Text, and use of internet due to sensitivity, and like a Mogwi never get it damp.

...The thing about technology reviews is that everyone wants them now (or at the time the product comes out) rather than 4 or 5 months down the road. The trouble being is that with my last 3 or 4 phones in the first few months I loved them like I would a newborn child, and a few weeks later wanted to find the design team and anally torture them with my once prized possession. All those reviews I had written about those wonderful phones, and all the people that stumbled on my reviews and bought what is essentially best served as a weapon; after my last review I really felt guilty so opted to wait for four months before pleading my love or hatred of my latest phone. But really who will care now? Who wants to read a review on say a Nokia 5110, the Philips Savvy, or the Motorola Razor, time moves on and for the Samsung Jet maybe time has...

Impatience Is A Virtue? So Buy This Phone Pronto!

Advantages: Easy to use, lots of features
Disadvantages: Disappointing camera, no GPS

...I?ve always been a fan of Samsung mobile phones, having had and liked several in the past therefore after a brief hiatus from Samsung where I owned an HTC Touch HD phone I thought it was time for a change therefore my first thought inevitably was going to be to go for a much trusted Samsung phone. After doing a lot of research into new phones on the market I was briefly interested in the Nokia 5800 Xpress phone however after having a play around with it in the shop I came to the speedy conclusion that it?s not all it?s cracked up to be and made a quick diversion back onto the internet to look for a more suitable device for me. I seemed to be getting nowhere until one night an advert for the new Samsung Jet popped up on my TV with the tagline ?impatience is a virtue?, coupled with it?s sleek and stylish looks I thought that I must...

Review of Samsung GT S8000 Jet

Decent phone. Does the job.

Advantages: Touch screen interface is as good as the best out there.
Disadvantages: Takes a few seconds to hook onto home WiFi

...I own a few smart phones already. So when family decided to gift a phone to my neice as a combined birthday present, the search was handed over to me. I was given a budget of £200 and had to get one under that. Having looked around a lot, the Samsung Jet caught my eye. It had great features and fit the budget well. It does most of the things that the smart phones of the day do (I already own an iPhone and a N97). The camera is pretty good. At 5MP it has a lot more mega pixels than the iPhone camera. The picture quality is good but not brilliant. The inbuilt GPS with google maps works well. However you would not bet on using that while driving as it does tend to lose the satellite signals quite often. The touchscreen interface is pretty decent. Better than the N97 one, but not as good as the iPhone. Ofcourse one tends to get more...

PDX-8000

Advantages: LED display
Disadvantages: gIMMICKY

...We all know that Technics turntables are the industry standard. In radio stations, bars, clubs and homes up and down the land Technics are the choice that most people make when selection a turntable. At one point, however, Vestax were challenging Technics to their crown. The PDX-8000 was one of their flagship products and was the one that was a direct threat to the Technics SL1210. There are a few functions of this turntable that make it stand out from the rest: 1 - The LED display. As far as I am aware, this was one of the first turntables to have an LED display built in. The screen shows you what the current pitch range is (this can be set to -3 to +3, -6 to +6 or -12 to +12), it also displays the current pitch. 2 - Control stick. You can move the control stick to speed up or slow down the speed of the platter temporarily. This is...

Jet2.com - A good budget airline.

Advantages: Cheap flights! Isn't that why we fly with them after all?

Trek 8000 bike, move over Mr Porsche

Advantages: Top Quality, first class frame
Disadvantages: a few cheap components

...BEWARE: full of bikers stuff. A long long time ago I was an avid mountain bike fan. There were times when I was covering over 100 miles a day and clearing 10000 miles a year. So I ran quality bike s that would get me around quickly and with minimal effort. I was a cycle courier for a time whilst I decided what to do with myself and on starting a career jib stopped cycling and eventually sold my expensive bikes on. About 3 years ago I bought a Trek 8000 mountain bike. I bought this in a sale for £1100 pounds. I did my home work and came up with the 8000 as a good all round cross country bike that would give me all I needed for a lot less than I used to pay. FRAME. My bike has to be big as I am 6'3". So I opted for the largest I could get. They come in various sizes in inches which your local supplier can advise you on, which...

Shame jet2 charge for bags!

Advantages: good rates and destinantions from local airports
Disadvantages: baggage charges and no rout changes allowed

...I have just recently flown with jet2 for a couple of trips - one to alicante from manchester and one to rome fumicino from manchester. As they were very close together i thought i would share my views as obviously two very different routes and staff were different on the different routes too. Booking: The jet2 website was very easy to use - i find most low cost airline websites are really and there isn't anything different about the jet2 website that makes it any easier to use than any other of the low cost airlines sites but i would say it is one of the more attractive looking ones. Lovely and bright with an array of offers highlighted and an easy to use search tool on the left hand side of the screen - just pop the details in it asked for such as date, departure airport and arrival airport, along with number of passengers and away...

Jet Who?

Advantages: New Planes, Seat-Back TV, Good Service
Disadvantages: Can be expensive if not booked well in advance

...I you have never heard of Jet Blue, don?t be too surprised. They are an American Domestic airline who flies out of their hub at JFK airport in New York. Why we ended up flying with them was more by chance than any degree of forward planning. As always, there?s a story attached to this so I?ll start from the beginning! We were in New York on a buying trip for my friends business and we needed to source the products we were buying and then fly to the appropriate place to finalise the deal. Because we had no idea of where we were going to be from one day to the next we had to make our flight reservations normally the day before taking off. Therein lay the problem. We had planned for the sort of prices we could be expecting to pay for flights before leaving the UK, but forgot to take 2 things into account (which I?ll come onto...

Easy Jet Online

Advantages: Fix the problem if you can prove they are at fault
Disadvantages: Online flight changes, means you must check e mails regulary

...We booked a flight to Italy Marco Polo Airport, using Easy Jet on line. What a nightmare! Firstly they have a policy that they must give 14 days notice if they change your flight. Well guess what they changed our return flight, they did give us more than 14 days notice, however this did not stop us from losing a day of our holiday as we were given an earlier flight. To ensure that all deatils were correct i printed off confirmation of the flight amendment and our departure flight. When we arrived at Bristol airport to check in for our oward flight we were told that our outward flight had changed also!!! we were 24hrs early! which means that we had now lost 2 days of our holiday!! After much discussion we were given a flight from Gatwick, only problem we had to make our own way there from Bristol!!! Again much...

Review of EasyJet - EZU

Jet - Shine On for everyone

Advantages: old school rock n roll, no weak tracks
Disadvantages: highly influenced by older bands, little originality

...The Australian Rockers JET return with thier second album "Shine On" as the follow up title to thier outstanding debut album "Get Born". The band themselves had a very subdued debut on the UK music scene with thier songs getting little radio play. In fact two years ago very few people even knew the band existed at all, but that all changed with one vodaphone advert. Jet's reworking of the base line from Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life" led to the creation of "Are you going to be my girl?" one of the best guitar songs ever written. Since then Jet have gone from strength to strength and have certainly taken a giant leap in song writting / musical maturaty with thier latest offering. In every scene of the word jet are simply an old school rock band. Thier musical influences are plain to see from the beatles, stones and the Who to more...
