Remington S9000

Advantages: temperature control, smooth plates
Disadvantages: age quickly, confusing controls

...With wavy hair, I haven't got ringlets to iron out, so the lower temperature settings on the Remington S9000 were perfect for me. To perfect styles, the higher temperatures work alright. The Remington S9000s aren't the best straighteners I have ever owned, after a year of use I can tell the difference between brand new and well used; unlike the GHD's I owned for 2 years! The smooth plates are kind to my hair, but with hairspray can become sticky - like most hair straighteners. The Remington S9000s are also quite difficult to programme to the right temperature, a simple 'hot' or 'cool' setting would have worked perfectly, but its like using a clothes iron on your hair! The Remington S9000s are also quite heavy, unlike the GHD's, so even though they straighten out my waves for a good few hours, I wouldn't recommend them to people...

BlackBerry Bold 9000 Review

Advantages: Look & feel; sound quality; fast Internet; range of features
Disadvantages: Camera not great; file transferring is quite confusing

...It was time for an upgrade from my old mobile phone to a new one, and I spent a whole month trying to decide which new phone to buy. I soon narrowed it down to a BlackBerry Bold 9000 and the Nokia E71 - both, I was told, are "fantastic phones", and after having a play with the BlackBerry Bold and Nokia E71 in a phone shop, I quickly knew BlackBerry Bold was for me, and I ordered it the very same day. BlackBerry's have been popular for a while now, and I was eager to know why. They are known for being the phone for business people; however, I don't think this phone should be restricted to that band of people alone. I will use mine for both business and personal use and so far it has worked well for both work and pleasure. Just in case you're curious, I bought my BlackBerry Bold 9000 from Vodafone. I have been with Vodafone...

Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 an excellent buy

Advantages: Produces a really good quality picture
Disadvantages: Expensive and sometimes struggles in low light conditions

...The Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 is an excellent webcam that produces a really crisp and clear picture at the other end. The camera is fairly expensive but worth the cost. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Whats in the box- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The webcam An instillation CD Instruction manual When your ready to install the software, dont do it from the CD, as several other reviews have commented on problems with the CD, instead go to the logitech website and download it from there.

The webcams image quality is really good in conversation with skype according to my friend in China. The picture...

9000 reasons to get a 9000

Advantages: Nice affordable motoring
Disadvantages: Electrified Everything

...The SAAB 9000 is a very sophisticated car designed for today’s modern roads, even if it was discontinued a few years back! It is now known as the SAAB 9-5, and although the name is marginally different the car isn’t significantly different. The SAAB 9000 has sleek looks, with the curvy bonnet and rear spoiler, and galvanised everything. SAAB made many special editions of the 9000, for an example the Griffin 3.0. Other Saab’s came with a 2.0, 2.3 or 3.0 petrol engine. I’m not sure if they made diesel, but I doubt it. Firstly, the engine. That mean little beast situated right in front of you, with pistons going up and down at least 12 times a second, and up to and beyond 100 times a second. They were either v4 or v6 (4 Cylinders or 6 Cylinders), which is commonplace on most cars. All SAAB 9000 engines were...

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...

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...

Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED a design success.

Advantages: high quality scans, large files, robust and intelligently designed.
Disadvantages: None.

...The Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED is a brilliantly designed multi- format film scanner aimed at professionals but I would seriously recommend it for anyone passionate about photography. It is a joy to use. It scans 35mm, Medium format 120/220, 6x6, 6x7, 6x9 (cm) and 16mm size films. Excellent results with black and white, colour negative and slide film in all the available above formats. The price for the Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED is around £1800 to £2200. Compared to the Imacon range of Flextight scanners which can be anything around £5000 to £12000 the Nikon Coolscan 9000 ED price is instantly more attractive but what about quality? The Nikon Coolscan produces images that are certainly good enough for professional, commercial and archival uses and fine art exhibiting purposes. If you use Photoshop and have a good...

SDR S26

Advantages: Size, quality, reputation, ease of use. truly pocket size
Disadvantages: none

...Having been stuck with a busted camcorder on the morning on an important family visit, I dashed to a major electrical store to source a replacement, stumbled across this camera, researched the others on display and chose the S26 for ease of use, merit for the make (I bought Lumix TZ5 and have been really pleased with it, quality, capabilities etc, great lens) and general feel for the camera. in my opinion, X70 zoom works very well, resolution excellent for an "older" user and their "junior" assistants. I think that Transfer speed is not rapid, but "so what" in a camera at this price point. Very happy to recommend for general everyday trouble free use. BUT buy it on line for £60 less than the big stores and be even more satisfied that I am Ron...
