Is Life really good with LG?

Advantages: Can save over 150 text messages, Picture quallity isn't too bad
Disadvantages: Very short battery life, gives you an earache if you talk on it for long periods, no games

...an auto chequeback of £117 within 90 days of purchase then further £83.33 cheques after the 4th, 8th and 12th months billing cycles. Considering the handset alone is worth just under £250 you are still saving, because you are only paying £60 for it over the 12 month period. Thats just under £200 in your pocket, plus you get the 400 anytime any network minutes and 250 texts. Unfortunately these don't rollover and do get wasted if you don't use up your monthly allowance. As with the other phone I have received my 4th month cheque and auto chequeback so they do stick to their word. Now onto........ ~The LG U8330~ The phone itself comes with instruction manuals, hands free kit (which is often missing with phones these days), no waterproof covering (which I was disappointed as I got one of these with last year's phone), Installation...

Review of LG U8330

Not just for children...

Advantages: Not expensive, nice to use and gives good protection
Disadvantages: Doesn't give total protection 100% of the time and might be too rich for oily skins

...Choosing a suitable sunblock can be a tricky business.  Every time I need to buy a new one I?m completely non-plussed by the range that is available and also the huge cost.  I always end up buying the same one because I don?t feel able to spend a lot of money on something new that is an unknown quantity.   I have a theory that whatever is designed to be spread on a child?s skin is certainly likely to be suitable for my skin too.  That is why for the last few years I?ve been using Garnier Ambre Solaire for Kids (Spf 50₊). The lotion is described as a very high protection moisturising milk which is hypoallergenic and fragrance-free.  It is claimed to protect against sun-induced skin damage and is water and sand resistant.  It also claims to conform 100% to European recommendations for protection against the harmful effects...

Review of Garnier Ambre Solaire Kids Very High Protection Milk SPF 50+

Worst Value Board In The World

Advantages: Cheap.
Disadvantages: That's about it, it's nasty and poor motherboard layout.

...I bought this board purely on cost, £40 at a computer market when I putting my first machine together. The board features On-board VGA and Sound, in the form Of SiS 5595 and CMI 8330. The board was reasonably easy to fit, however, this is AT board and I fitted this in a ATX Midi Tower Case. Problems that I have is that I operate 2 hard drives, 2 CD-ROM drives and two floptical drives, a slightly overclocked K6-2 333Mhz at 337Mhz and I can't operate the proper 3.5x95Mhz on the board as the max bus speed is only 75Mhz. The problem is that the poor case layout makes my case worse than Spaghetti junction....

Review of PC Chips M598

Through a lens clear, dark..err darker

Advantages: Simplicity and ease of use.
Disadvantages: Costs can rapidly mount up.

...: from 49mm-96mm and focal length greater than 20mm. "X-Pro" system; from 62mm-112mm with focal length greater than 14mm. There are also some rings for specialist type cameras such as Rollei and Hasselblad. There are also some that will attach with a magnetic ring for digital cameras. Here I am quoting their literature. The filters come in 8 different types. 1: coloured. 2: diffraction stars. 3: Centre-spots. 4: Pastels-diffusers. 5: Optical Effects. 6: Graduated. 7: Polarizers. 9: Special Effects. The complete range has 160 different filters. The filters for the "P" system are contained in a plastic box and are themselves made of organic glass (maker's booklet) as are all the filters rather than an optical glass with a coating. The box for the filter is (HxWxD) 110mm x 95mm x 10mm and the filter itself is 82mm x 82mm...

Review of Cokin Filter System

Simply unbeatable

Advantages: a classic, you get the best pictures
Disadvantages: expensive

...This is THE classic camera in the medium format. Of course the Rollei flex ? and cord is better known, but the Hasselblad 501 CM is an excellent camera. There is so much to say about this camera that it hardly fits into this space. This brand is like the zippo for lighters. It has existed for ages and its reputation is still at the top. I reckon it is the best medium format camera in the world. The 500 series has been out for a long time and by now all of the parts are interchangeable. There is no need for you to go for something more flash or expensive, despite this being the bottom line for Hasselblad. It does teach you a lot and you could even become professional with this camera. However you have to know what you want from the camera: portraits, landscape etc. It is a good choice, but be aware that moving images will be quite...

Review of Hasselblad 500 Series

Top quality & Value

Advantages: quality pictures, takes videos with full audio sound, idiot proof
Disadvantages: battery life (with standard batteries at least)

...Back in the old days (we're probably talking about mid 1960's to the early 1980's), if you wanted a small 35mm camera that was as fully featured & gave as good a quality results as one of the larger SLR jobbies, your only real serious choice was the Rollei 35 range (look it up on Google if you've never heard of them). These days, you have a much greater choice thanks to the invention of the digital camera..... and this Fuji A345 is no exception. Like the old Rollei, it's small & compact and loaded with similar features...... but it also has a few new tricks up it's sleeves. Just like the Rollei, you can zoom in & out on stuff...... but unlike the Rollei and more like a traditional SLR camera thanks to the bright LCD screen on the back you can see exactly what the lens see's (although it can be a bit awkward in bright sunlight...

Review of Fujifilm FinePix A345

Hassle Blad

Advantages: Quality
Disadvantages: Price and limited technology

...Hasselblad the best medium format camera in the world so they say. I used to use one on an everyday basis when I was a photographer in the RAF I admit the camera is a good solid workhorse but it has quite a few drawbacks. Firstly the price, they say quality comes at a price but for that money I would not only want top quality but latest technology. The quality of the lenses is excellent but as far as I am aware the Rollei cameras come with the same or similar lenses although obviously they are in a different mount. The Hasselblad is a real heavyweight this has it’s good and bad points. The camera is solid it will absorb quite alot of heavy knocks(I’ve seen a number of ‘blads’ dropped and still work). The downside of this is that it really is quite a lump to carry round especially using the narrow strap supplied...

Review of Hasselblad 500 Series

14 months later and I still love it

Advantages: Lovely size and shape. Easy to use menus. So many functions
Disadvantages: Screen sometimes goes a bit odd. Battery life could be better

...very quickly when you've left it somewhere. I have to say I've never been without it for more than 5 minutes, and this is coming from an extremely absent-minded person. It is genuinely pocket sized unlike most other phines, which tend to create strange bulges and encourage their carrier to resemble John Wayne when trying to walk. This comes from the size and also the lack of aerial, which tends to dig into you with many of the Ericssons and others. It is also extremely stylish, far more sleek than the 8330 or its rivals. Some see it as too small, and whilst it may get a bit of getting used to you will soon be impressig your friens with your dexterous massaging of the keypad. Functions Some phones have vibrate, others predictive texting. Some have a calender, others caller groups. But the 8210 has them all. Caller Groups The caller...

Review of Long Tall Sally (Shop)

Great for Newbies or Beginners for another name

Advantages: Great Distro
Disadvantages: Slightly temperamental

...Firstly, I must admit, I'm really scared of Linux, the thought of the command line Linux almost gives me a heart attack, because I'm totally unfamiliar with Linux, having used DOS + Windows in its various guises for 9 years (when your start off at the age of 8). The Machine that I currently use is this: AMD K6-2 333Mhz 96MB RAM 3.5" Floppy Disk Drive 30.7Gb Hard Disk 24 Speed CD-ROM 4 Speed DVD/24 Speed CD-ROM/6 Speed CD-R Write/4 Speed CD-RW Rewrite Combo Drive Iomega Zip 100 SCSI with Adaptec AVA-1520 ISA SCSI card SiS 5597 Graphics Chip CMI 8330 Audio Adapter Canon BJ-10e Bubblejet Printer So most of my hardware is roughly two/three years old, and so it should work with Linux quite well, and I've managed to install RedHat Linux 5.2, but I couldn't get to the Graphical stuff, and so I was scared of it, so I got rid...
