Angelcare Monitor

Advantages: Peace of mind.
Disadvantages: Remember to turn off when lifting baby out of cot

...I knew from the outset that i would be one of those paranoid mum's constantly worrying about my baby & wondering if he was still breathing through the night, so I invested in the Angelcare monitor with movement sensor mat. The set includes a 'baby unit', 'parent unit' & movement sensor mat. The mat is placed under baby's mattress (if like mine, the base of the cot is slatted, or you're using it in such a moses basket, then you will need to place the mat on a firm surface such as a piece of plywood under the mattress), & is so sensitive that it can detect even the lightest of breathing. The mat connects to the baby unit which then transmits to the parent unit. If no movement (yes, even light breathing counts as movement) is detected for 20 seconds, an alarm sounds on both the baby & parent units, enabling time to get to your baby...

Review of AngelCare AC401 Movement and Sound Baby Monitor

Siemens Stains

Advantages: Small, light
Disadvantages: plasticcy, not intuitive

...My Savvy died on me beep beep it went and waved goodbye with it’s little pixilated hand, it’s enough to bring a tear to my eye…. Actually the charger was broken and the nice lady at the mobile phone shop is fixing for me right now, woe betide them if they don’t get it right, I’ll be writing a stiff review and then they’ll be sorry, Consumer Power!!! (Actually since they took the phone and since I wrote this first paragraph I got a phone call, it seems there is a problem with the repair, I can already feel my bile rising…..) So to prove just how nice the lady was she gave me a Siemens C25 to love in the place of my Savvy, I wasn’t actually too impressed to be honest, it looked boxy and a bit plastic, not as nice as my blue Savvy. But it was very light and to be honest its not actually...

Fujitsu/Siemens Li2727

Advantages: Good specs, portable, cheap
Disadvantages: Bad customer service

...I recently went on a search for a good quality Laptop and found this one in Comet. It looked quite good and seemed to have everything I wanrted. Processor is a Intel dual core !.73 Ghz It boasts a good 2GB of DDR2 Ram 160 GB Hard drive 15.4 in Screen DVD+/- RW drive My opinion. I came home with my Laptop and unpacked it all, went through the associated paperwork and set it up, as I already have a Desktop this was easy. When you first start it prompts you to create Recovery disks, I started the software to do this and all seemed well until almost at the end of the first disk it came up with a message saying write error. I thought that maybe it was a bad disk and tried again, same outcome. I phoned comet to ask for asssistance and was told to phone Fijitsu/ siemens, so I did I was told it was a software problem and they...

Siemens - Camera or phone?

Advantages: Modern look, Various camera features, 18mb internal memory
Disadvantages: Bulky, camera quality not as good as it could be

...extremely difficult to remove and requires a lot of force to take out. After copying my addressbook from my sim card to the phone, I navigated around the phone. The menu is very simple but for me I think its too bland - the icons are black & white but only turn to colour when you select that icon. All 9 icons are presented to you at the touch of one key, but as all icons are compacted together it feels as if the phone lacks features. To start with sending text message can be annoying for fast texters as there is a lag in the phone and takes long to display the letters. Punctuation marks can be accessed by a key quickly. The siemens sf65 has a predictive text messaging input which can be useful. When you rotate the phone 180 degrees the screen immediately switches to its camera mode where there are symbols to display the settings such...

Review of Siemens SF65

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...

Good cheap baby monitors (Tomy Walkabout Classic Advance Monitor)

Advantages: 100% portable, mains or battery powered, good solid units
Disadvantages: Can eat through batteries

...Recently the video baby monitors that I had been given (second hand) gave up the ghost so I had to purchase a new set. I decided that I didn't need a video one again or one with any other fancy gimmick on it (one that plays a melody etc), I wanted a nice basic and reasonable cheap monitor just so I could hear when she wakes up in a morning etc. After looking online at the hundreds of monitors available (most of which are very expensive) I found the Tomy Walkabout Classic Advance and after reading a couple of reviews I decided that this one should do the job just fine. Whats in the Box? In the box you get a set of instructions whish tell you how to get started and how to use all of the various features these monitors have, you also get two baby monitor unit, one is the baby unit and one is the Parent Unit and you get two mains adaptors...

A Quality Monitor

Advantages: Many functions, clear sound, no interference, talk back
Disadvantages: Temp sensor maybe a bit sensitive

...We recently borrowed this monitor from a friend - it's on our wish list but we can't really afford to buy one, so we are trialling this one at the moment. Due to us borrowing it, we were never given an instruction manual, but have still managed to figure out most of the functions with success! And compared to our Tomy Walkabout, this is a fantastic monitor, even if it is a little pricey (£69.99 I think) The Baby Unit: This unit has 9 buttons across the top: -On/Off Switch -Rec button (which I think is to record your voice but we haven't used this function) -Page (to page the parent unit I presume if you've lost it somewhere) -A button with three circles on - I think this is to increase or decrease the brightness of the nightlight -Nightlight -Volume up -Volume down -Play/Stop (the lullabies) -Music (to select...

Review of BT 150 Digital Baby Monitor

My love affair with the Siemen?s SL55

Advantages: Stylish, compact, packed with features.
Disadvantages: Texting can be a little difficult at first.

...?I Will Fly you to the moon and back if you?ll be, if you?ll be my baby?. My dirty old Nokia 3310 was past its sell-by-date years ago so I have to admit to getting ridiculously over excited at the prospect of a new phone. So many decisions to be made. Colour, polyphonic ringtones, games, and camera, one of those flip clamshell types or a standard Nokia style? Given my self-imposed budget of £60 surely I had given myself little leeway regarding the type of phone I could purchase? Never underestimate the dididave obsession with bargain hunting. It is rare that I pay full price for anything and as such revel in the underground culture that is the boot sale, charity shop and online auction world. Trawling through the Internet back alleys in search of my next gadget I came across the Siemen?s SL55. This little beauty retails...

Fujitsu Siemens AMILO Xi 2528

Advantages: very fast, very cheap
Disadvantages: could look better

...Fujitsu Siemens AMILO Xi 2528 This is the Fujitsu Siemens AMILO Xi 2528. It is a laptop designed for entertainment purposes whilst still being very cheap in price. Fujitsu Siemens are well known for their cheap laptops, and are also quite well known for making basic laptops and therefore don?t really have the best reputation in the market. However that is all changing now, instead of sticking to the mold of cheap basic laptops, there branching out and are starting to make ultra portable laptops that compete with sonys, and dells whilst being a lot cheaper too. They are now also making entertainment laptops with great specifications and features that come in at just a fraction of the price of some of its competitors and the AMILO Xi 2528 is one of these. The installed ram on this laptop is great, it has a massive 3gb which is...
