Siemens ME45 Old - But unbreakable!

Advantages: Solid phone, easy to repair, simple to use
Disadvantages: Old features

...The Siemens ME45 was released in early 2001 as a hard wearing a durable mobile phone, and has had some staring roles, such as being the handset used by Jason Bourne, in the film, The Bourne Supremacy. It was the James Bond of phones, and as testiment to its ability to bare knuckle fight off any damage, they can still be found for sale here and there, reaching high prices in comparison to other phones of its age. As a Mobile phone, it boasted several features of its time that were quite advanced. Being modelled on the S45 model, the internal bits are more or less the same, and can be cross polinated in most cases for repair and so on. The technical side is as follows for those who demand it, but the best stuff in my eyes is below it: o GSM900/GSM1800 o Battery type: Li-Ion 840 mAh Autonomy...

Review of Siemens ME45

  ME45 -- rugged temptress

Advantages: Durability, good looks, GPRS
Disadvantages: firmware bugs

...This is the phone that made me break three of my rules on technology purchases: 1. I shalt not buy into state-of-the-art technology until it's been deployed commercially at least one year. I bought a WAP phone only in August 2001, and wasn't planning on a GPRS (Generalized Packet Radio Service) handset till the 3rd quarter of this year. When the state-of-the-art was the 486, I bought a 386. But I bought the ME45 in December 2001, when GPRS was still on trial, and handsets were early releases. 2. I shalt put a cap of US$150, plus or minus 10%, on my handset. The ME45 is approximately US$300. 3. I shalt employ a handset to death before I replace it. In fact, my first two phones were practically unusable by the time I replaced them. My Nokia 2010 battery wasn't charging, and my StarTAC's back had come loose when I bought their...

HC 45 Does it help?

Advantages: saves going to the docs
Disadvantages: only suitable for mild irritations

...over the counter. I decided to try them first. I used HC 45 and it seemed to work so this is what I am going to review. HC 45 contains the active ingredient hydrocortisone which is used to reduce inflammation. Inflammation happens due to irritation of the skin, and is caused by the release of various substances that are important in the immune system. These substances cause blood vessels to widen, resulting in the irritated area becoming red, swollen, itchy and painful. When hydrocortisone is applied to the skin it apparently works by acting inside the skin cells to decrease the inflamation reducing the itchiness etc. This is why it should not be used long term as it can cause the skin to thin. HC 45 can also be used on insect bites, but in any case it recommends that it is not used for more than seven consecutive days. Now...

E45 - Great for the Skin

Advantages: Moisturises, Nourishes, Smoothens, Softens, Good value for money
Disadvantages: If you like products with some sort of scent, this is not one of them

...I started using E45 when a friend of mine had it when we were still in school and prone to all sorts of pimples during our teens:) I have since continued using it (albeit on and off) as I felt the product really worked and is very effective on dry skin. E45 Dermatological cream comes in various sized all-white jars with the words E45 in white within a big blue caption and you cannot miss it on the shelves with other skin care products. You can get E45 in most Boots and Superdrug stores and pharmacies or supermarkets; It retails from about £2.50 for the smaller sized jar to £6 for the larger 500ml jars, you can get some of those with pumps too for easy application. The product itself is a white cream with a smooth texture, it has no fragrance and is unperfumed and hypo-allergenic. E45 contains 'Water, Petrolatum, Isopropyl Palmitate...

Review of E45 Dermatological Cream (Dry Skin)

E45 gives me a rash

Advantages: Works for some people
Disadvantages: Brings me out in a rash, expensive

...Although I was prescribed E45 by my G P, and was given a great big pot free on the NHS, E45 seems to aggrivate my excema rather than relieving it. Like gozzer, I have large patches of excema on my legs, but after application, my symtoms increased dramatically. I guess this works for some people, and my reaction was not serious, so it is probably worth giving it a go. I think it is pretty expensive to buy, though, so if you are eligible for free prescriptions it may be worth talking to your doctor! :-) I also have some excema on my face, which is far more annoying as, although it is not aggrivating, it is far more visible! Although I haven't actually tried it on my large patches of excema on my legs, petroleum jelly (Vaseline) works wonders on my face. I would recommend giving it a go - it is dirt cheap, easy to get hold of...

Review of E45 Moisturising Lotion- Dry & Sensitive Skin

e45 - the dry skin hero!

Advantages: effective cream.
Disadvantages: a bit expensive

...I, like many others suffer from eczema and dry skin is often a problem. However, I think that e45 dermatological cream helps reduce the problem. E45 is non-greasy and unscented and helps to treat dry, flaking and chapped skin. It also helps sunburn too. Is there anything it can't do? Well it can't get rid of eczema completely but it dramatically decrease the problem. The product is also good as as it doesn't sting or cause any irritation. Just make sure to rub it in completely so there's none left wherever you've applied it and you'll have your skin smoother than a baby's bottom in no time! :) This one little tub does a big job. It's true what they say good things come in small packages....

E45 Miracle Cream?

Advantages: Skin feels smooth, helps with eczema and dermatitis
Disadvantages: Needs to be used regularly, may cause spots, sinks in slowly

...As an eczema sufferer I have used this product pretty much all my life. It is recommended by doctors and is also a good moisturing product even if you don't have problem skin. ***The Product*** The product comes in a round container with an easy lid which you screw off. It comes in 50g, 125g, 350g and 500g tubs. I have the 350g tub which has lasted fairly long. E45 claims the cream is "an effective, non-greasy emollient that's been clinically proven to treat and soothe dry, itchy, flaky, rough or chapped skin. We also recommend it for more serious dry skin conditions like eczema and dermatitis. It's quickly and easily absorbed and works by replacing lost moisture and forming a protective barrier, leaving your skin feeling soft and comfortable again". ***Is it Non-Greasy*** I'm afraid that it is greasy. For best results...

Review of E45 Problem Skin Cream

Siemens C45 - Ageless Mobile?

Advantages: Small comfortable to use, robust, ageless design.
Disadvantages: Nothing to warrent mentioning here

...The Siemens C45 is getting a bit long in the tooth as far as mobile phone technology is concerned, but seeing that my wife and I have had over 3 years of trouble free service out of two C45s, I thought I would do a review. In my view Siemens are to be congratulated on this phone. Before I got the C45, I had one of the early pay-as-you-go vodaphones from Tesco - remember those? Anyway, one day I was getting into the car and didn't notice that I'd dropped my phone on the road and reversed over it. It still worked OK but the slot to plug the charger in was completely smashed. So a new phone it had to be and off I went to the Vodaphone shop in Cardiff. Because I was not a heavy user, I would stay with pay-as-you-go and this little neat little C45 measuring 12 X 5cms caught my eye for £75 and with a little bit of bartering (I...
