Using Samsung S500

Advantages: big screen, durability, videos with sound
Disadvantages: no sound while zooming, not so vivid colors

... Samsung S500 I bought this camera 2 or 3 years ago. I have been using it many times, and it has never let me down. It's a good camera for general use, but don't expect extraordinary things from it. An advantage is that you are able to do videos with sound , but a big disadvantage that I discovered is that when you make a video the sound stops while you are zooming. It is good to know, because I didn't knew at first, and so I had lost a great video that I made with my friends. I kind of lost some great memories. One advantage it's the size of the screen, which gives you a good overlook of your pictures, videos. Also, you can record sounds of a pretty good quality. I have been using this function several times, especially while visiting museums, recording the voice of the guide. I use rechargeable batteries, and for me they...

Review of Samsung Digimax S500

Mercedes S500

Advantages: A car to judge all others...
Disadvantages: 25mpg (though the benifits do out way this)

...I purchased this magnificent car about 4 months ago. You hear the likes of Jeremy Clarkson say... "if you want to know whats going to be fitted in cars in the next 10 years, well look in an S class." I actually have the S500 Limo Petrol model, that 5.0 litre V8 engine is more than enough to get this sizable car accellarating in an instant. This car brings new meaning the the words "spacious" and "luxurious". All seats are electricly movable (even the back seats) which boast heating and air conditioning inside which is very very nice on those hot days. Enless other gadgets such as electric blinds, fridge, TV/DVD, car phone, voice recognition, distronic and triptronics make this car the ultimate vehicle which all others are judged by. Concidering buying one ? Take me word for it, it will be the best purchase you have...

SGH-S500i

Advantages: small, and easy to use.
Disadvantages: no mp3 ringtones.

...This is a review on the S500i. This is the O2 version. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What does the, i, stand for? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is an o2 only feature. It is called imode. This is basicly the internet on your phone. It is quite handy. It provides you with your own email address, That you can be retrived from your phone where ever you want to be. You can get info on, sports, weather, news, travel, and much more. You can't visit all websites. and sadly ciao is one of the ones you can't recieve. ~~~~~~~~~ FEATURES ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Outside screen ~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a nice feature. It is a 260k colour screen. You can see who is ringing you, and who is texting. You can even have a picture on the outside. Or you could just have a clock. It is a nice size, 2cms by 3cms. It sounds quite small, but it is big...

GPZ500s - real world review

Advantages: fast, light, cheap to insure and run
Disadvantages: lumpy at low revs, needs good tyres and regular servicing

...for soaking up bumps on our roads. If you are a fat overweight biker then you will need stiffer forks. Or just go buy a ZXR400 if you like rock hard track like handling. I have found the forks perfect but then again I weigh 10stone as I don't live on junk food. Right, now the review........ A dry GPZ500s weighs 176kg. It does 0-60mph in 3.76 seconds and has an indicated top speed of 130mph (optimistic speedo - really 125mph). Fuel economy is around 60mpg sticking to legal speeds or around 50mpg at silly speeds. The bike puts out 60bhp at the crank or 52rwhp (rear wheel horse power). It's a bit lumpy at low revs (under 3000rpm) smooth to 7000rpm then really takes off above that to the redline (11,000rpm). Insurance is only group 8. So, its fast.......light...........and cheap! The early EX500 A models from 1987 have 16" wheels and drum...

The Self Destructing S500i from Sony Ericsson

Advantages: Seems ok.
Disadvantages: Might be complete and utter failure

...My friend bought this phone, roughly a year ago at a what was a fair price back then. The S500i is aimed at women, and has a special feature that will change your theme (when you open and close your phone, by sliding it). In January you will get cold colours which will slowly change and become lighter and greener, perfectly in time for spring and so on. I've heard it is quite nice in December when it is christmassy. And with a black cover and green keypad it can look quite nice. The menu is fairly simple and can be changed, but basically has 12 icons. Like most sony ericssons. On the front you have two soft keys, the back key, the clear key and two shortcuts. You also have the navigation buttons and the the middle button has a contrasting green trim. But why I am reviewing my friend's phone...? Well you will soon know...

Review of Sony Ericsson S500i

Sony Ericsson S500i - Fashion over practicality

Advantages: Stylish, cool features, good quality camera
Disadvantages: Not suitable for larger fingers, quite slow and sometimes crashes

...I have owned the floral version of this phone (http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&rlz=1C1GGLSenGB291GB321&ei=jKciSsT4G5KsjAe82O2wBg&resnum=0&q=s500i%20flower&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi) for roughly half a year. This phone comes in a variety of colours, such as black and green, white, yellow, purple and silver. However, I bought the limited edition Jemma Kid version, which is floral and aimed towards females. Apparently if you buy from the Carphone Warehouse, you receive Jemma Kid nail varnish and lip gloss, but I didn't receive this since I ordered mine online. This mobile still appears to be for sale on some websites, although it's not as widely available as the normal designs of this phone. The keys on this mobile are very thin and small and it took me a while to get used to texting quickly with them, but it's not much...

Disadvantages: No MMS, fixed number of photo/tone storage, no xHTML

...This is my 2nd review and it is for the Samsung S500, some of the matter may not touch here as it is almost same as my other review on Samsung E100. THE PHONE PACKAGE * The phone package comes with 1 handset, 2 battery (nice one), battery charge stand, travel adapter, hand strap, manual & wearable ear-microphone. * This model comes with 1 years standard warranty in our country.

Sony Ericsson S500i

Advantages: Sleek, lightweight, large high resolution screen
Disadvantages: Needs regular wiping to remove finger marks

...Lovin' it! Had few problems when first got phone but this was due to network faults rather than phone. S500i will defiantly turn heads. It is equipped with many features for the mobile phone user who is always on the go & wanting to stay in contact with friends, family & work colleagues. The overall design & style of the phone I believe is inspired by nature which includes the colour of the handset, the internal patterns & materials used to create a smooth desirable handset. S500i comes with a smooth slide opening mechanism which when opened reveals the sleek keypad & natural design of phone. The phone comes with hidden light effects which brings the S500i alive when an incoming call comes in. Has a large & clear screen which displays up to 262k colours on a 240 x 320 pixels resolution screen. The screen can be viewed when the S...

Review of Sony Ericsson S500i

Kawasaki GPZ 500 Honest review!

Advantages: Reliability, cost, engine.
Disadvantages: Brakes,front end handling.

...I thaught i,d write a review on the GPZ500 as i have owned one for 15 months now, untill it was stolen 3 weeks ago! :( allthough it has since been recovered and im hoping to buy it back off the insurance company. (hence my review on the vfr400 nc24 which i braught to replace it) My bike is an 96 reg on an N reg, and had 10,000 miles when i braught it, and i have covered 7500 miles on it. Ok as with the NC24 review i,l start from the front and work my way backwards! Front tyre is 17 inch and lasts a while, it had an original front tyre on it when i got it, and only cost me £60 to replace it, so if youre gentle with the braking etc you can expect 7-8 thousand miles from a front tyre maybe more! The forks are good enough, i havent had to replace fork seals yet, but they are pretty soft, which is a god thing for this style...

Review of Kawasaki GPZ500s

GPZ500S 99

Advantages: Cheep to run handles superb and very fast
Disadvantages: Brakes are a tad soft

...I have now had my GPZ500 on the road for a week now and bought it two months ago. I previously has a Honda CB250 Two fifty and was restricted to a 33bhp licence but since last week my two years are up! My first day on the bike consisted of the ultimate test. I was riding with a pillion and around 6000 other bikers! I was riding in the Glasgow Yorkhill childerns hospital easter egg run. This bike performed faultlessly easy to control at slow speed and didnt overheat. My first two months owning the bike was spent modding it. I have changed the screen for a semi tint, put on a tank pad Scotland flag, K&N air filter (ohh the induction noise!) and most importaintly a Laser deaptone exhaust as its kick ass. This transformed the bike into a fire breathing deamon. Loud when you rev it and pops and backfires when you rev it hard and shut off...
