* The old hands free CARK Kit . .

Advantages: Very good sound reproduction, always set up ready for use.
Disadvantages: Needs an external anrenna, plus fitting. Dated nowadays.

...I recognise this, I very nearly bought one a while ago. I had a "play" with one, and I priced it up, and it was a lot more expensive then. I am surprised nobody has done a review yet, but as Ciao has allowed anyone to do just that, ever since they were introduced in 2005, so I will oblige. Let me just tell you exactly what this kit does. It holds your Nokia phone securely in your car, van, truck, to your dashboard or wherever you like. It trickle charges your mobile battery. It provides a mike and proper speaker, both separate to, and better than, the mobile phone's original ones. This particular kit is specific to the following models:- Nokia 6310i, Nokia 6310, Nokia 6210, Nokia 6110, Nokia 6150 Other kits are based on this, and can be found for many other mobile phones. Yes I must admit this kit is a little out of date...

Review of Nokia CARK 91 Hands-free kit

Get Your Wandering Hands Off My Nokias

Advantages: Cheap & cheerful
Disadvantages: Incoming sounds squawky. Outgoing sounds barn-like

...I really can?t stand mobile phones except to marvel at their technical attributes. Being in touch constantly is not something that I feel too strongly about. However, once or twice recently, I?ve been incommunicado whilst in the car when being in receipt of a call would have saved me some considerable time spent sitting in traffic jams. If there?s one thing I can?t stand more than having to have a mobile, it?s the people who still think it?s OK to use a handheld mobile whilst they drive, and yes, why ARE they always behind me, not looking forwards, as they move away? According to a blurb I received reminding me that my Toyota was due a service last month, an in-car kit for my bog-standard Nokia mobile was ?only? going to cost me £139. Bugger that, I could buy three more phones for that price! What I needed was something cheap to...

Review of Tesco Easy To Use Car Kit For Nokia

Nokia N97 - 'The new iPhone'

Advantages: 32gb Internal Memory, Nice Looking, Full QWERTY Keyboard, 5 MP Camera
Disadvantages: A Little Bulky, Price, Small Processer Makes The Phone Slow

.... The process was easy and fast through the Vodafone website and I received my phone within 5 working days. The Phone & Its Specs The phone arrived in a neat little black cardboard box, with 'Nokia N97' in silver writing embossed on the front. Included in the box was: * Nokia N97 * BP-4L 1500mAh battery * Charger * USB data cable * Earphone-remote handsfree kit * Manual and warranty docs * Nokia Ovi Suite installer * Wipe cloth * Detachable stylus you can loop into the phone Design - In my opinion the N97 looks similar to the iPhone, just a little chunkier but overall smaller in size. The exact measurements are 117.2 x 55.3 x 15.9 mm (18.25 mm at thickest point) and it weights 150g including the battery. In my opinion the phone is a little too bulky for my liking. My phone was black but you...

Review of Nokia N97

Nokias most recent attack on i-phone succes or failure

Advantages: memory
Disadvantages: touchscreen

...as a owner and user of the nokia n97 i can say i am overall very happy with the improvements that nokia have made on previous models i.e N96 and N95. Lets face it all of us who went from owning an N95 to what nokia seem to believe was a better model (N96) were extremely dissapointed as although looking good on paper the N96 failed to meet the standards of its pre- deccesor but i am glad to say nokia have redeemed themselves on the launch of the N97. There have been many improvements made on previous models i.e the processor is alot faster and the slow transitions between menus has been completely iradicated due to the massive 32Gb memory which can still be increased to a huge 48GB by the handy memory slot tucked away under the rear cover of the phone. Another improvement on previous models is the slider mechanism after a few minor issues...

Review - The Nokia N97 vs The iPhone 3GS

Advantages: Good Looking, Durable, Huge Memory, Very Very Good QWERTY keyboard
Disadvantages: Tiny processor leading to lag and application crashes

... The Nokia N97 Nokia have announced the follow up to their 5800 XpressMusic touchscreen phone. The Nokia N97, which utilises a 3.5 inch touchscreen and slide out QUERTY keyboard. Appearance The overall design of the N97 is not at all unique, looking like the lovechild of a Google G1 and Apple iPhone, comparisons have also been drawn to the AT&T Tilt, and rightly so. Despite Nokia's lack of imagination the N97 is a nice looking thing, apart from a small button in the bottom left corner, the 3.5 inch touchscreen dominates and looks sleek and well designed. When the QUERTY keyboard is slid out the screen sits at an angle, looking remarkably like the HTC TyTN. The N97 is both larger and thicker than the iPhone, which isn't exactly inconspicuous itself, this makes the N97 feel a little too large, especially...

Review of Nokia N97

The Nolia 5800 XpressMusic phone is the worst Nokia I have had.

Advantages: Good quality camera and video camera
Disadvantages: Too bulky and not very user friendly

...nearly dead. However, the camera and video camera are of a very good quality and easily downloadable. The music, after it has been added to the phone is also of a very good quality and when you play it it is very loud. The memory is good. I have an in car hands free kit and with my previous Nokia it worked really well. Sometimes, I have to go into the settings and switch on and off the bluetooth to get this phone connected. I wish I had chosen another Nokia as I have been really disappointed with this phone....

Review of Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

The iphone's competition, Nokia 5800!!

Advantages: Full bluetooth, great sound, wifi, 8 gig storage (expandable) Touch Screen and great screen size.
Disadvantages: Touch screen responsiveness is a bit tedious.

...own plus sides. As there is different keyboard input methods. One gripe i do have about the nokia 5800 is the fact that working applications on the device are few and far between right now. Spent a fair few hours online looking for downloads for the first S60 V5 touch screen OS. It has its own built in GPS device, It can be used with your mobile network for when using apps like google maps, or it can be used as a normal in car Sat Nav system with voice guided turn by turn system. The digital camera with carl zeiss auto focus lens and flash are excellent in daylight taking pictures and it can geo tag your photographs like the Apple iphone can. This means you can upload your photos to flickr and on your profile next to the photo will be a map from google telling you exactly where the photo was taken, perfect for when you been...

Review of Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

Look - No Hands (UPDATED 7/1/2004)

Advantages: Inexpensive way to ensure your in-car safety
Disadvantages: Not a lot!

...around a populated area in about a ton of metal has to be a bad thing. Up until now I have contented myself with ignoring a call on my mobile phone until such time as I can safely pull into the side of the road to return it. But recently I decided to invest in a hands-free kit for my Nokia 6210, and began to shop around for the best price. Even using the good offices of the taxi driver?s trade union to negotiate a discount, the price of these fixed kits bordered on the prohibitive, at well over the ?250 mark. Remember that you can?t take the kit with you when you change cars, unless you are willing to pay an installer to remove and re-install it in your new vehicle, at a cost that is as much (or more!) as having a totally new kit fitted. (what a rip-off!!) So when I spotted a Nokia ?plug-and-play? hands-free kit for sale at only ?59.90 in...

Review of Nokia Navigator Car Kit

nokia 5800 express music, a great phone!

Advantages: so many great features and looks great!
Disadvantages: took me a while to work out where the sim card went! but thats probably just down to me, lol

...I got my nokia 5800 last week, i was excited when it arrived and couldnt wait to start using it. It came neatly packed in the box, with all the user and instruction manuals and all the accesories. Once i worked out where the sim card went (it isnt where it used to be in my old phone!) and turned it on, i loved it straight away. Its my first touch screen phone and i was a bit worried i wouldnt be able to use it and get to grips with it. But after i read the manual and knew where everything was, i found i had no problems. (Although my boyfriend still hasnt got to grasps with it yet!) I like the way the screen turns round to horizontal when you turn your phone round, and the screen is large and clear. It has all the usual phone features, text messages, contact book, web, games, camera but it has so much more. Gps/Maps, which is really...

Fat Kit Kat

Advantages: Taste, quality, Size, Filling
Disadvantages: ...none

...Having just eaten a Kit Kat Chunky Caramel it seems I'm eating these in the wrong order, but the Kit Kat chunky is another of the now rather extended Kit Kat brand chocolate bars by Nestle. The idea of a ?chunky? Kit Kat is that it's thicker than a normal one with much more wafer in the centre making up the vast part of it's bulk. The bar looks more like a Yorkie than a typical 2 (or 4) finger Kit Kat in general shape though it keeps the red of the Kit Kat we all know and love, the Kit Kat logo and the Kit Kat biscuit formula. Nutritional Information (per 50g bar) 261 Calories 3.1g Protein 31.6g Carbohydrates 13.4g Fat Sorry for putting that so early into the review but with Kit Kats (and Nestle in general) not having the treat wise guide on them, it's actually a struggle to read the nutrition details due to the fact I...
