Qtek 9000 / o2 XDA / SPV M5000

Advantages: inbuilt Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
Disadvantages: very slow, low battery life when wifi and bluetooth are turned on

...processor and this runs pocket pc 2003 excellently. If you are considering spending alot of money on a windows smart phone like this one then i would recommend the O2 XDA mini / MDA Vario. I tried the XDA mini out in an o2 shop recently and it was brilliant, the operating system is slightly different to that of the Qtek 9000 and it runs alot smoother! Another disadvantage of this phone / PDA is that, when the screen is flipped up and the phone is in the shape of a laptop computer, typing is ok when the phone is in your hand, but when you get an option on the screen, you have to take one hand off the phone and reach to the back of the phone for the stylus, so that you can tap the option on the screen. I find this extremely fiddly and annoying, but when you flip the screen around and use it like a normal PDA, then you can use the stylus alot...

Nokia 8600 Luna Luxury Flagship Model

Advantages: Great Finish, A Joy to Use, Great Features
Disadvantages: Battery life could be better,Could be lighter

...accessory. I'd say that the Nokia 8600 Luna is one of the most beautiful phones that Nokia have ever brought out. The highly diserable black finish and the when you use the phone give you a clear indication that this is a well made and robust phone. A lot of the phone is made from stainless steel which makes it quite exclusive. In terms of features, The phone comes with a 2 megapixel camera which takes excellent quality photos and has a digital zoom which is very handy. It also has various options to customise pictures and you also get a video recording function on it too. There is also the nightmode which allows you to take pics at night when the light isn't as good however it still isn't quite the same taking pics at night with this mode as it is if you take them during the day. As with all modern Nokia phones,you can customise your...

Review of Nokia 8600 Luna

The most beautiful phone so far..... 8600 Luna

Advantages: beautiful design, veryeasy to use, fantastic new features
Disadvantages: quite heavy, some old features

...In my opinion the 8600 luna is one of the most beautiful phone from noki and i think it will be for a while. Most of the phone is made from stainless steel which makes the phone really durable unlike some other phones. The sliding style along with the smoked screen make this phone look really classy and expensive, but it isn't. Currently i'm on a contract of £35 a month, which is fab. The phone comes with a fabulous new 2 megapixel camera which takes excellent quality photos along woth picture perfect video clips to capture those special moments. The camera lens are protected by the sliding back which is really useful as my phones tend to fall on the floor quite often. The classic menu which is like the one in 6230i is further upgraded and animated. One option in the menu is the media option which has the media and mesuc player along...

Asus GeForce 8600GT - Excellent quality/price

Advantages: the performance, quality, the price, plays all modern games
Disadvantages: you must check if it fits in your case because of the cooling system

...This review has been revised and updated in hope for a better rating and because I felt it deserved a better review. Thanks for reading. ASUS EN8600GT SILENT I am surprised not too see many other reviews about these Asus. This Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT Silent is simply brilliant. Not only is relatively inexpensive but also has great quality/performance level too and, as the name says, it is silent! Thanks to the new cooling system adopted by Asus which doesn't involve a fan. Quite a wonder to my ears really. I had enough of cooling fans breaking down and forcing you to buy a completely new graphic card (just because they don't sell the cooling fans alone) and those annoying rattling noises which occurr when they start to deteriorate. This card is designed for Windows Vista (runs splendidly on XP too of course) and fully...

Canon Canoscan 8600F review

Advantages: Nice and fast for reflective scanning, good result from film at larger sizes.
Disadvantages: Not good enough for large prints of scanned 35mm film.

...The canon Canoscan 8600F are best suited for reflective scanning and film of greater size that 35mm. For large format and medium format film it is quite good actually and should allow you to make large print from your scan. Images are a tad soft straight from the scanner but respond well to USM sharpening. For regular 35mm film scans will be good for smaller prints and work just fine if your main goal is to use your images for web use and digital albums. Film holders for most formats are included. Silverfast LE scanner software included and gives you more control over scan quality If I sum up: The 8600F is not up to the discontinued Canon 9950F or the new Epson V700 but it is also a great bit cheaper and Nice for its price! Anyhow if your plans are to produce high quality gallery prints, the I suggest that you shop...

The Great GeForce 8600GTS XXX from XFX

Advantages: everything...
Disadvantages: at my point of view nothing really

...The GeForce 8600GTS XXX edition from XFX, I own this card and is just fantastic, I bought this card because I can't afford the powerful one's at the moment but if you buy this card you will see that is not very much different than the powerful one's. At the moment I am playing Crysis which is a fantastic game and with this card Im able to get about 20 frames per second everything at max, everything at mid I get about 30 frames per second at 1280*1024 resolution which is playable, but you can get a bit more depending on your system. As I said its fantastic, you will also be able to play HD, blu-ray movies with no problem because this card is HDCP fully capable, Direct X 10 and many other features, and for gamers like me if you buy 2 of these and put them into SLI mode if your motherboard support it them my friends it will be awsome....

Review of XFX GeForce 8600 GTS XXX Version

One Ultra Compact Handheld

Advantages: Small & Crambed full of features
Disadvantages: Battery Life

...doesn't come with enough memory so you have to buy a mini SD card but I got a 2gig for £30 off eBay so I didn't mind. Qtek support is only for people who buy from an authorised Brightpoint dealer and this can be a problem. Non Brightpoint dealers offer their own support but it isn't the best. This is device can be quite pricey I have seen it as much as £480 I paid £215 and consider it a bargain. A great device I cannot recommend enough. if you can't live without your PC/Internet and you're a geek like me go out and get one you won't be disappointed....

Dell inspiron 8600 1.5GHz Centrino

Advantages: Heavy duty usage, graphics
Disadvantages: Bulky

...The mobile technology of centrino is proably one of the most essential feature one should look for when buying a laptop now. Wireless technology is taking over and this model just suits it all. It has a exceptional 17 inch screen which makes it exceptionally big and bulky for a laptop. I am a hardcore graphics user and i upgraded to 512 DDR RAM which STILL doesn't give me what a desktop would, however it is just a laptop and one shouldn't expect it to perform as powerful as a desktop, ever. Inspiron 8600 is catered for those with high graphic usage potential, I'm not talking about those who plays computer games with high graphics resolution, but I'm more about graphics designers, people who user programs like CAD, vectorworks, artlantis and so on. These are true hardcore graphics powered tools and Inspiron 8600 with NVIDIA Geforce...
