Snap Happy Samsung!

Advantages: Great camera at a great price.
Disadvantages: None at the price, you get a great item for what you pay!

...I bought this camera in ASDA at the incredible price of £75 in a gorgeous chrome silver colour (pictured). I am probably one of the most indecisive shoppers around, so when it came to buying a digital camera, I was thoroughly confused by the choice and newly released technology, meaning every week a new camera with more mega pixels and better zoom and a toaster built in was released! This certainly does not making chosing easy! Well, thanks to the advice of the very helpful assistant in ASDA, I was able to finally decide on the Samsung ES55 and have no regrets! Ok, so how do you chose the right camera for you? It's all about accepting there is SO much variety but making sure you know what you want, that way you can really trim down the choice. Also, pick a reliable brand and as I have been informed, Samsung are one of the best. I had...

Review of Samsung ES55

pure brilliance picture and green

Advantages: sleek, green mind blowing picture
Disadvantages: not supplied with wireless dongle , or wall bracket

...This is the latest generation of energy saving televisions, we have had it a fortnight after waiting 2 months for them to come into the country, got our from costco as they have the 5 year granatee and the cast iron return poilcy plus they where the cheapest at under £1350. It is really light to carry and amazing thin under 3 cm , the brochure in comparision is very comprehehensive and large although in reality it is a breeze to set up and scanns for the channels we where watching it within 5 minutes, both freeeview, dvd player and sky. The picture will blow you away, there are plenty of 7000 series to see on currys but this is the 8000, different beast, it is a lot more geared up to access the internet and steam, plus it is very low energy.On standaby it is something like 0.1watts The definition is amazing although most...

Review of Samsung UE40B8000

The easy to use samsung...ES55

Advantages: was a good camera, I loved all the features the camera supported
Disadvantages: n/a

...I don't actually own this product but borrowed one of the cameras for my unversity course to do a review, and when I was there I took some pictures using this camera and while I was using it I couldn't believe how easy it was to use. One of the main features on the camera was that it was a 10 mega pixel camera which means the pictures will be very clear. I use a 5mega pixel camera for just going out and about (The one on my phone) and I think that this is enough so I was very impressed that it was a 10 mega pixel. Sometimes I find that cameras can be quite hard to use but the buttons were clear and visible even to people who have bad sight. I loved using this product and was reluctant to give it back. All of the camera's I saw when I was looking around to buy one were priced around teh £80.00 mark which is good value I feel...

Impatience Is A Virtue? So Buy This Phone Pronto!

Advantages: Easy to use, lots of features
Disadvantages: Disappointing camera, no GPS

...I?ve always been a fan of Samsung mobile phones, having had and liked several in the past therefore after a brief hiatus from Samsung where I owned an HTC Touch HD phone I thought it was time for a change therefore my first thought inevitably was going to be to go for a much trusted Samsung phone. After doing a lot of research into new phones on the market I was briefly interested in the Nokia 5800 Xpress phone however after having a play around with it in the shop I came to the speedy conclusion that it?s not all it?s cracked up to be and made a quick diversion back onto the internet to look for a more suitable device for me. I seemed to be getting nowhere until one night an advert for the new Samsung Jet popped up on my TV with the tagline ?impatience is a virtue?, coupled with it?s sleek and stylish looks I thought that I must...

Review of Samsung GT S8000 Jet

Looks The Part, But You Won't Respect It In The morning

Advantages: Great camera and media centre
Disadvantages: Diabolical GPS, Text, and use of internet due to sensitivity, and like a Mogwi never get it damp.

...The thing about technology reviews is that everyone wants them now (or at the time the product comes out) rather than 4 or 5 months down the road. The trouble being is that with my last 3 or 4 phones in the first few months I loved them like I would a newborn child, and a few weeks later wanted to find the design team and anally torture them with my once prized possession. All those reviews I had written about those wonderful phones, and all the people that stumbled on my reviews and bought what is essentially best served as a weapon; after my last review I really felt guilty so opted to wait for four months before pleading my love or hatred of my latest phone. But really who will care now? Who wants to read a review on say a Nokia 5110, the Philips Savvy, or the Motorola Razor, time moves on and for the Samsung Jet maybe time has...

PDX-8000

Advantages: LED display
Disadvantages: gIMMICKY

...We all know that Technics turntables are the industry standard. In radio stations, bars, clubs and homes up and down the land Technics are the choice that most people make when selection a turntable. At one point, however, Vestax were challenging Technics to their crown. The PDX-8000 was one of their flagship products and was the one that was a direct threat to the Technics SL1210. There are a few functions of this turntable that make it stand out from the rest: 1 - The LED display. As far as I am aware, this was one of the first turntables to have an LED display built in. The screen shows you what the current pitch range is (this can be set to -3 to +3, -6 to +6 or -12 to +12), it also displays the current pitch. 2 - Control stick. You can move the control stick to speed up or slow down the speed of the platter temporarily. This is...

Review of Vestax PDX8000

Samsung but smaller

Advantages: Very compact and lightweight, excellent value for money, great design with brilliant screen
Disadvantages: No dvd drive but this is to save on weight and you can pick up an external one for reasonable

...Having previously had a laptop my wife recently decided to buy a new computer for herself as she felt she was not taking her laptop with her due to size and weight and so decided to opt to pick up the Samsung NC10 netbook. So you may have noticed that this is a netbook and be wondering what this exactly means...a netbook is a smaller, lighter weight laptop that is simply designed to handle internet browsing, e-mail and office software. The question I was asked by my wife before she picked this little gadget up was would this be able to play games? The answer is yes but of a limited variety as this is not designed with the same level of specs in as a normal pc or laptop (you would also need to purchase a cd or dvd drive for if you are looking at playing games that use a cd). Now down to the actual netbook itself...the Samsung is...

Review of Samsung NC10

Samsung's Neat Little Netbook

Advantages: Good performance, Good connectivity options, Good webcam, 160GB HDD, Upgradeable
Disadvantages: Not very good accessories, Picks up Fingerprints, Weird button under touchpad

...After my white Asus Eee PC 1000H got stolen, I decided to replace it with a black Samsung NC10. The Asus and this Samsung are what is known as a netbook. It?s sort of a small, low cost laptop to let you surf the net, while you?re out and about. I bought it off Dixons.co.uk for £322 in December 2009 (had a 5% off coupon) but it?s going for around £310 at the moment in most places. CHOICES The NC10 is Samsung's first stab at the netbook market and they?ve done a blinding job of it. I believe it even won an award for it. The NC10 comes in three flavours, those being black, blue and white. I chose the black as it looks prettier. The white one also looks great but I figured that it would start to pick up dirt and go a bit black, especially the keyboard and touchpad. The white version has a matte lid so doesn't pick up...

Review of Samsung NC10

Decent phone. Does the job.

Advantages: Touch screen interface is as good as the best out there.
Disadvantages: Takes a few seconds to hook onto home WiFi

...I own a few smart phones already. So when family decided to gift a phone to my neice as a combined birthday present, the search was handed over to me. I was given a budget of £200 and had to get one under that. Having looked around a lot, the Samsung Jet caught my eye. It had great features and fit the budget well. It does most of the things that the smart phones of the day do (I already own an iPhone and a N97). The camera is pretty good. At 5MP it has a lot more mega pixels than the iPhone camera. The picture quality is good but not brilliant. The inbuilt GPS with google maps works well. However you would not bet on using that while driving as it does tend to lose the satellite signals quite often. The touchscreen interface is pretty decent. Better than the N97 one, but not as good as the iPhone. Ofcourse one tends to get more...

Samsung NC10 Review

Advantages: Good battery life, nice screen, near enough a full size keyboard
Disadvantages: small-ish trackpad

...I recieved this netbook for christmas and all i can say is 'wow'! My background with computers is vast having built many and installed multiple operating systems on each, however i have never owned a laptop. Therefore i was a little dubious about some of the things such as keyboard size, processing power and battery life. I was looking for a laptop which is very small in physical size while packing a punch so it could still carry out multiple tasks. Buying a full size (15.4") laptop seemed a bit pointlesss as i have two tower pc's which are my main machines, so this was just to be about casual surfing/ reading emails/ browsing while on the move. The Samsung NC10 is in my view one of the very best netbooks out there, the keyboard is just shy of being full size so no cramped typing (this review was written on it) Combine this...
