Orange SPV E200 - Smartphone or Costly Mistake?

Advantages: Digital camera/Video Camera, Windows Smartphone 2003 operating system, Bluetooth
Disadvantages: Very poor battery life, have to buy SD/MMC card

...I bought my SPV E200 at the start of February 2004 from the Orange Website for £50 (My contract is a basic £25 a month) but is now free with the same contract just over a month later. LOOKS The phone itself is qwuite large and bulky but the way I see it, is that it is packed with features. It weighs in at 120g but to its credit has a fantastic 16-bit TFT showing 65,536 colours. This is by far the best screen that I have seen on a phone (better than the Nokia 6600 - which I also have) Operating System The phone runs on the Windows Smartphone 2003 operating System, which boasts some fantastic features. Being used to the simplicity of the Nokia 6610 and 6600, this was much more complicated to use. However, being able to run Internet Explorer and MSN Messenger is a fantastic bonus. Also among its array of stunts is playing MP3s...

The new CPD-E200

Advantages: Good price - Excellent display
Disadvantages: A/P wires visible, fiddly OSD button

...I have recently built my own system from scratch. After looking at many reviews in magazines and the web, the monitor I decided to go for was the CPD-E200, as it had some excellent write-ups and for the price, was said to be in a class of it's own for a 17" monitor. Unfortunately, as soon as I tried to order it, it was discontinued :-( Fortunately, it was going to be replaced by the CPD-E220 :-) The E220 is, for all intense and purposes, the same monitor as the E200. It looks the same, it has exactly the same specs and the price is the same too. Probably just a propagander plot by Sony. However, the monitor displays a near perfect picture at very high resolution. I have taken it up to 1280 x 1024 and it looks a treat (except that you cant see the icons because they are so small). I use it at 1124 x 768 and find it suits my eyes...

Review of Sony CPD-E220

It's a new me

Advantages: It's Mario, it looks lovely, sounds brilliant, plays well
Disadvantages: A little easy, a little short, a little lacking in possible DS features

...After purchasing a Nintendo console one of the first games you have to buy is that consoles Mario game, be it the original games on the NES, the 3D monster on the N64, the wonderfully huge Mario Galaxy on the Wii or of course this, ?New? Super Mario Bros. On the DS. Costing around £30 for the game may seem like quite a lot but with it being Mario you know to expect quality, fun and one of the most complete platforming games available to gamers anywhere out there. Simply put Mario is a sign of Nintendo at their complete best, but how does the DS game hold up against the others in a long line of great games? Well the opening menu gives you a host of options including 2 player, single player and mini games. Though the mini games seem rather pointless they do allow you to have a play with the DS and use the stylus, good idea but sadly...

Nothing New!

Advantages: some good articles, not too expensive
Disadvantages: Quite a lot of boring articles

...Digging into the pile of magazines I bought the previous week, I fumbled across a copy of New! Magazine, this one dated December 2008. I had initially bought the magazine because of the cover stories; news of celebrity 'bumps', and an article about Jade Goody. I could only hope the rest of the articles seemed as promising inside, as this was the first time I had bought a copy of New! After you turn over from the attractive pink cover, you come to the usual contents page you find in a magazine. Usually I skim read this, though as I had not read New before, I decided I'd not bother this time and find surprise in the extra features I hoped to find within. The next few pages contained images and little facts about celebrity gossip and fashion in general. Usually these celebs don't interest me, though on finding Myleene Klass here, I...

Review of New Magazine

Lots of New ideas, but nothing Great

Advantages: New enemies, New Power-ups and New Levels
Disadvantages: Repetitive, Familiar and much more possibilities

...When the new super mario bros. came out for the ds it was a ground breaking development it sold out in minutes and was the must have game for the Ds. unfortunately this cannot be said for the wii release. although this version has the ability of multi player on one system and a different story line it still feels very repetitive, the 4 selections of players are. Player 1 must be Mario Other players have the ability to choose from, Luigi, yellow toad and blue toad. the first few levels put you into the retro feel of Mario with the first ever level port and same old monsters attacking you, after the first 3 - 4 levels it will start to get different with new monsters, new challenges and new thumb mashing levels. other new features are 3 new power-ups, one is a snow suit where you fire snow balls that freeze enemies, another is...

NEW LOOK

Advantages: Good Range of Clothes
Disadvantages: none

...New Look (clothing retailer) This is a very popular store with my two daughters and I have spent many a time in the New Look shop. Going around the store one would find many offers and often you will see if you buy one you will be able to get the second one free or at a reduced charge. My younger daughter found this very good value as she had to buy certain clothing for college and it certainly did not burn a whole in my pocket luckily. I am not sure whether these clothes are very well made but there is the choice at very reasonable cost and one will be able to vary the clothes they can wear .at at reasonable cost . The store has been in operation since 1969 and it first was set up in Taunton.The founder was a Mr Tom Singh and the headquarters are in Weymouth. In 2008 there are over 600 stores in open in United Kingdom...

A New Man

Review of New Man - Joe

New Moon - New Chapter - New Highs?

Advantages: Sombre Atmosphere, some captivating moments
Disadvantages: Too long, lack of substantial plot

...expecting to be given a little catch up at the beginning of the film and to be fair there are a few flashbacks however these tell the audience nothing about what has previously happened. Therefore if you?re planning on watching this you really should watch Twilight first. The special features seem to have come on leaps and bounds since the first film. There were scenes in the first film that were merely laughable whereas New Moon seems to have raised the bar significantly. Everything looks fantastic from the super-sized werewolves to the flying vampires. It would appear however that what this film makes up for in impressive special effects it lacks in storyline. Nothing really happens in this film and people that have seen it will surely agree with me. I haven?t read any of the Twilight books therefore am unable to make any sort...

It`s a me Mario! (New Super Mario Bros. (DS))

Advantages: Fun, perfect, great mix of old and new, some minigames
Disadvantages: --

... New Super Mario Brothers Review This game was one of the first games I got for my Nintedo Ds as I could tell it was going to be great. If you somehow never heard of Mario he is probably the most famous games character and probably part of the reason Nintendo have been so successful with the DS and Wii as they can make as many Mario games they like. Any type of game Mario can be a part of whether it is sports, action, platforming or even racing with the great game Mario Kart (reviewed both DS and Wii version which are both brilliant games!) However here Mario goes back to his old roots to make an absolutely wonderful game! The story is the same as most Super Mario games with Princess peach stolen by Bowser and Mario and Luigi have to try and save her. The storyline is good even though you know what is coming and I think it is...
