Phillips CD445 Cordless Digital Phone

Advantages: Stylish, Good Answerphone and Great Price
Disadvantages: Poor Battery Life

...Good Phone for a great Price but very poor battery life I like this phone very much and bought it for around £30. A great price for the selection of features you get in comparison to similar phones in the same price range. Firstly I would recommend looking closely at the specs of any phones you get. For example some don't come with a backlit display so you could be left fumbling around in the dark if the phone goes during the night. Luckily the Phillips CD445 has a nice blue backlit display. It was also very simple to setup and use within 10 mins. The instructions were great and proved a good reference guide for anything that I couldn't work out myself. The answerphone is great and means I can screen all those annoying sales calls that you get during the day. A speakerphone option is also available for hands free calling...

Review of Philips CD 445

  Philips cordless answer phone for the home.

Advantages: Neat and easy to use
Disadvantages: None

...The old answer phone is dead; it has for some time been unreliable but a few days ago the last cassette tape was gobbled up by the machine, wrapping itself round the play heads. OK, I admit, it was a bit old fashioned. Now I have a lovely modern digital recorder with two handsets fit for the 21st century. After doing some research on the internet I decided upon the Philips CD235 Duo digital phone with answering machine. ○◊○ A short history of Philips ○◊○ Philips as a company is more properly called Royal Philips Electronics and they are based in the Netherlands.

Philips CD 535

Advantages: Reputable brand, good solid build quality, excellent price
Disadvantages: Ringtones

...I bought this phone to replace a Panasonic dect phone which I've had for a few years. It was on special offer in Comet and I paid £39.99 instead of £80.00. A 50% saving and a reputable brand too. I've never had any Philips products before and I was very impressed at how well it was packaged. Even the batteries (2 x AAA) for each handset were boxed. The phone was so easy to set-up. Everything is menu driven. It took a while to programme all my telephone numbers in. Thankfully there is a facility to copy them onto an additional handset so I only had to type them in once. Sound quality on the phone is excellent and I can't fault it. The handset is a good size and weight and the buttons on the handset are of a good size especially for somebody like me who has chunky fingers. The handsets illuminate in orange when picked up off...

Top banana phone

Advantages: Great range, fantastic sound, nice ringtones
Disadvantages: Not many really

...Hello everyone and welcome to this review! In Tesco the other night and had a phone call, ?the house phone is not working, pickup a new one!?, great?. But what one? That?s when my mobile battery went and I was left to decide on my own. Off to the phone isle I went. We needed a cordless with an answering machine and a good battery life, I was getting somewhere! There were around 50 phones on display and this Philips CD2551 caught my eye straight away, its lovely large size and modern looking base and a claimed 12 hours battery life, it was mine. Not forgetting it had an answering machine and a 100 person phonebook. How much did it cost? Only £29.99 for the single handset phone, there was also a set of 2 and 3. What is a cordless phone? *************************************** Well? It is simply a house phone...

Philips Electric Shaver

Advantages: Built In Conditioner, quiet, stylish, effective
Disadvantages: Bit of a hassle to clean

...and colours. The feel of it is very comfortable on the hand and is easy to grip, due to slight ridges around the back of the shaver. This also makes it very comfortable and easy to hold, which i would say is one of the most important factors in something that is to be used daily. Also, obviously, it must be good at its job. Which this shaver is. It did a very good job, and was the closest shave i have ever had. I was previously using a gillette mach 3 razor and shaving foam. The Philips shaver eliminates the need for shaving foam, which i always found an annoyance. I think that the reason for the closeness is the fact that each of the heads vibrates/girates and moves independantly, meaning that they can move accordingly to each person's individual features. Moving around the jaw bone and cheek bones, means that it gets alot closer to the skin...

A Home Phone with Funky Ring Tones!

Advantages: Easy to set up and use
Disadvantages: None

...Recently we have been haunted by our cordless home phones! Ringing once during the night with no caller, giving us the fright of our lives, cutting out during a call and crackling so we can't hear the other person talking! We decided we definitely needed to invest in a new set and what better time than the sales! We searched around a few shops and online and felt the best deal we found was from Tesco.

Personal review of the Philips 42PFL7404H

Advantages: Slimmer and lighter than many LCD TVs of similar size.
Disadvantages: None come to mind.

...This is an excellent example of Philips ingenuity. If you are about to consider changing to a larger screen size, then this 42' screen is well worth a closer look. It has a superb contrast ratio, which really improves the definition of the darkest and lightest images and displays striking colours that are lifelike and vibrant. The ease of installation is also a great benefit, whereby most settings can be achieved through a simple automatic process. Should you also be thinking of wall mounting this receiver, then you will be pleased to know that this particular model is thinner than many TV's currently available and also a lot lighter. The remote control has been well thought out with a special home button, which enables easy selection of external devices, like satellite boxes, digital receivers, DVD players and recorders or PC...

Philips Audio XQ

Advantages: Reliable, relatively cheap
Disadvantages: -

...I recently had to purchase a set of CD-R's to produce some CD's, for legal reasons I should point out!! So I brought a set of the 'XQ' version, along with the 'Q' version produced by Philips. Made in Germany, the 'blurb' on the packaging states: 'For use with all Digital Audio CD-Recorders. Philips CD-R Q/XQ offer high quality, digital audio performance.' But do they really offer high quality?? Well, the majority of the CDs were used to burn mp3's, so that would partly rely on the quality of the mp3's more than anything, although after listening to them via the CD, there were absolutely no apparently signs of the quality of the songs having faded after being placed on the CD. Occasionally, I find that some CD-R's don't work when being written on, possibly because of the speed of my computer drive, but thankfully not one...

CD-OK

Advantages: Store yor data, free your hard drive
Disadvantages: come on a spindle and have no cases

...I recently managed to fill up my 80GB Hard drive with all sorts of rubbish and needed some CD's to store my information on. Usually I would buy them from Tesco's, but as I was In a hurry I popped into my local computer retailer (Northbridge Computers in Lowestoft) to see what he had available. All he had on this occassion was TDK CD-R80 discs. There was single CD's in cases, boxs of ten in cases and spindles of twenty-five and one hundred. I plummeted for the spindle of twenty-five as I wasn't rich enough at the time to buy the big fat one hundred spindle. ***Product*** The disc's themselves are light blue with a silver swirl on it. TDK CD-R80 is clearly stamped on it. There is plenty of room to write on them and they can store up to 700MB of data or 80 minutes recording time. They are ideal for backing up files, pictures, photos...
