#250? - Overrated!

Advantages: Acknowledge I've overrated, at ease, I use a strong range of scores
Disadvantages: GameFAQS top ten list quality filler - I'm only really doing this for 30CP

...I'm not a fan of top whatever lists, and I loathe the term "overrated" as I find it to be overused (although it springs to mind when I am on sites like this). For my 250th review (or not-really-a-review) however, I decided to compile a top ten list of products that I've reviewed which I felt I have overrated, and contemplated taking a star off the rating. There have been reviews that I've gone back to and changed the rating - these would be next in line, though my laziness means I might never get round to these. 10. Metallica - Ride The Lightning. Production values aside, the second half of this album is average compared to the first - I wouldn't classify Ride The Lightning as a consistent, and thus not a classic, album. **** 9. Valkyrie Profile for PlayStation. More from the dungeons and towns (and maybe even the endings) would not...

Samsung E250

Advantages: Planner
Disadvantages: Memory card needed

...The Samsung E250 is a bit of a let down to my other phone which broke and I have had a lot of phones but the reasons why it is a good phone are shown below along with a few bad points but every phone has bad points this one has an advantage to other phones. The fact that it is a slide phone mean that it is helpful for calls all you have to do is just have slide it up and the call is answered. The phone has good reception, which is good because the majority of phones have poor reception. If you want a phone the better the reception the better the phone actually is. The phones colour is great and has some depth to it. I have owned many phones and this one is the best by far for colour. The phone has a VGA camera which is ok for videos and pictures the effects that the edit section has are brilliant it allows you to add clipart, frames...

RS250 - Best Avoided

Advantages: Good looks, 2 stroke smells
Disadvantages: unreliable, expensive parts - Italian

...at a disused runway. Maybe mine was mechanically crap? Maybe my 13.5 stone body was too heavy? I don't know. What makes me laugh even harder is when the 17 year olds say that their RS125 s will crack 120mph. I have tried and tried to get a ride on one of these 'super quick' bikes but the owners never let me ride it. There is no way that a standard RS125 will do 120mph - so if you are a 16 or 17 year old reading this review and think you are going to get a rocket ship then you will be disappointed. Don't get me wrong the RS is a fast bike..... but let's get real here. Back to the RS250.................... So it is great fun to ride, easy to wheelie and smells nice.... what is wrong with it? Where do I start? 2 strokes are notoriously unreliable. I knew that before I bought it but I thought that I would not have to do anything major to it...

Decent Samsung E250

Advantages: Bluetooth, Practical, External memory, MP3 capable, Excellent multimedia services.
Disadvantages: Fragile, Shortlife battery, Not 3G capable, complicated menu.

...The Samsung E250 is a great cell phone despite its mentionable flaws and critical points with an overall rating that will suit the need of the mass community and will reach your expectations. First of all, SME250 is based GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900 terminal, a 2G (EDGE, so it's a 2.75G ) unfortunately not a 3G, so you can't make video conference phone call. But, that's a not big loss comparing the big range of features. The clamshell (comes in different colors, black, silver, pink) design is very slick and lovable. A dimension of 99.5 x 49.5 x 14.1 mm, weighing 80g makes the phone very light (you won't feel in your pocket or purse (for the ladies ;)) and very fragile piece of equipment as well. I've heard several complaints about the design regarding the keypad and the screen display, possibility getting damage in short term of usage...

PXC 250 - Good VFM noise-cancelling headphones

Advantages: Great value for money. Excellent at dealing with low frequencies.
Disadvantages: Bulky battery pack. Phone interference may be an issue for some.

...Having bought a portable DVD player for long haul flights, I went looking for a reasonably priced pair of ultra- portable, noise-cancelling headphones to use them with. After a fair bit of research, I settled on the PXC250 and managed to buy a pair from Amazon for slightly less than £50. I opted for free super-saver delivery and they arrived without hassle a couple of days later. The headphones are engineered to so that they fold into a fairly compact shape which fits neatly into the carry case provided. A number of ?phone jacks are also supplied to cater for a variety of inputs. Crucially for me, I could use them with the DVD player, my iPod, in-seat headphone jacks on most airlines and my stereo system at home. The build quality is good for their intended use and price point. The ear pads are very comfortable and, whilst not...

Fuji FinePix J250. A lot of camera for a little money

Advantages: Ease of use, Feature-packed, Cheap
Disadvantages: A little slow, Limited manual usability

...For a relatively inexpensive camera, the Fuji FinePix J250 has some surprising features stowed away in that little casing, such as digital/sensor shift Image Stabilization, Face Detection, Scene Recognition and a whopping great 3? LCD screen. The 5x optical zoom gives a focal range of 5.1 ? 25.5mm, or 28 ? 140mm in 35mm equivalent terms, which is great for a wide range of situations, and there is Continuous Shooting, albeit it at a lowly rate of 1.4fps. It is not as small and compact as some of the small compacts on the market but at 92mm (3.6in) x 58mm (2.3in) x 23mm (0.9in), it will slip into your pocket with the same ease as a cigarette packet, and it weighs in at 151g (5.3oz). The appearance is sleek and smart, sporting a round-shouldered, brushed-metal casing. I haven?t seen it in any other colour than black but the black...

Review of Fujifilm FinePix J250

Garmin Nuvi 250 Satnav (/GPS)

Advantages: Touch-screen, USB, Card-slot, Mapsource compatability
Disadvantages: Bad maps, immediate next turn direction, no variable POI proximity,

...Edit: My review here is based on the Nuvi-250 (non-widescreen version). I bought one of these recently as my old ipaq-based TomTom is getting more outdated each day and there doesn't seem to be a reasonably-priced way to update it. I have to say I was expecting better. The manual is small because there aren't as many features as you get with TomTom. For example TomTom allows you to set the distance between your POI and it's alert sounding. This Garmin seems to sound the alert at it's own preset distance warning which you can't change from the menu system. It also seems to take a while to find the satellites. We went to our local park on saturday which is about a mile from home and we were practically on the car-park before it locked on. The worst part though was how innacurate the maps seem to be. On one trip, It didn't have...

Review of Garmin NÜVI 250 W

Fuji FinePix S1500. Descendant of the S1000fd

Advantages: Huge zoom, Focus Tracking, Easy to use
Disadvantages: Bulky, A little slow, AA batteries are a bit inconvenient

...The Fuji FinePix S1500 is the latest incarnation of the very successful FinePix S1000fd. It is very SLR-like in appearance and the added bulk of the battery-holder/grip does give it an assured feeling in your hands. Of course, this can be a disadvantage, and if you want a camera that you can just slip in-and-out of your pocket, then maybe a slimmer compact should be considered. The 12x optical zoom is excellent and it equates to 33-396mm in 35mm terms - and if this isn't enough, there is a 5.7x digital zoom feature too. The menus are friendly and easy to navigate, and there are helpful explanatory prompts that appear on thew LCD screen when the mode-dial setting is changed. There are 14 preset scenes to choose from, each setting the camera to its optimum settings for the given scenario, but on top of this, the camera can be used...
