The Sharp CD-SW 300 H super system

Advantages: Rich sound, well made, nice 3D surround effect
Disadvantages: Bass may be a little to much for some people

...Lets start off with the basics. This model has the now standard 2 cassette deck, Radio and CD player. This CD player also happens to be a 5 disc tray affair and is able to play mp3 and wma discs (good news for tech kids). Now that the basics are done with, lets talk about the sound! First off let me point out if you are a person who doesn't love bass, then walk along, because this beast is a bass demon. The speakers come with a sub woofer and its a insane amount of bass it kicks out. On that point, if you are perhaps looking for a nice little evening Hi-Fi for quiet listening you may want to look elsewhere as even with the bass turned off this still seems to penetrate everything. If your fine with the killer bass then this is for you. Its louder than you will ever need in a home environment, and has all the connections we have come to...

Review of Sharp CD-SW300H*

Sharp's Practices

Advantages: Stylish furniture competently fitted into your bedroom
Disadvantages: Furniture is not of the highest quality.

...Picture it if you will ? it?s the room that was my daughter?s bedroom. She left home many years ago, but somehow there?s still a tennis racquet on top of the wardrobe, a stack of school exercise books in the bookcase and strange pieces of clothing (what can you do with a ra-ra skirt these days?) that are not actually needed where she?s living at the moment but are far too good to throw away, or so she tells me. It?s not too bad when you just close the door on the room, but when an unexpected guest turns up it?s a source of deep embarrassment. Well, you can hardly deny that you?ve got a spare room, can you? Then came the fateful day. I went into the local town and a Sharp?s Bedrooms showroom had opened. I?d like to say that it was the aesthetics of the window display that drew me inside, but it wasn?t. It was the banner which...

The Delorean of CD Players

Advantages: Vertical CD Mechanism & Great Sound Quality
Disadvantages: No Tape or MP3

...** First Impression ** I'm not going to try and fall anyone into thinking that Sharp have the quality of makes like Pioneer or Sony, the only real similarity is that they are Japanese and obviously make electrical goods. The SD-EX200H (which I'm going to call the X200, because it is shorter and sounds cooler) is a hi-fi that has served me well for over 3 years, and been Japanese hasn't even hinted at breaking. The main console even survived a 1.5m fall from my shelf, so it is a machine built to last. ** Design ** The X200 consists of a main console with 2 speakers with attachable covers. The CD drive is reminiscent of the doors of the Delorean, as it hinges and the top (swings upwards). The layout is very simple, with 8 spread out square buttons. The LCD display is fairly large with a stylish blue backlight, which can be...

Review of Sharp SD-EX200H / CD Micro System

Sharp for squirt

Advantages: Small and light
Disadvantages: Battery life could be longer

...I have a large 15 Gb (Gigabytes) of disk space on board my little computer. This has been pre-split (thanks to Sharp) into 2 virtual drives; C with 10 GB and D with 5 GB. At this moment, I have used 7 GB on my C drive and nothing on the D drive. I wish I have more but I guess that might be difficult to put into this little thing. Software takes up a good 5 GB and the rest are really just my photos which I should really backup on a CD. I use my notebook for writing and transferring photos so 15 GB is not a major issue, at this moment. 5. Display The size of the LCD screen is around 10 inches. According to them (Sharp), its 10.4 inches, I really can't imagine what or where the 0.4 comes from or goes to. The difference is only 1 cm, so my question is why couldn't they have made a screen that is either 10 or 11 instead of 10.4 inches...

Review of Sharp Actius MM10

  My sharps sharp!!

Advantages: the sd card
Disadvantages: blured pictures and battery doesn't last long

...My boyfriend bought me a sharpgx20 and I loved it to bits, unfortunately I left it on the floor one day and he managed to pick me up twirl me round and stand on the phone, whoops, a great big crack going across the screen, I tried using it for a while but I couldn't even read a message on the screen. My boyfriend bought me a nokia 3300 for my birthday which was perfect for ring tones but it didn't have a camera, so it wasn't long before I was back on e-bay to find a new sharp phone. After days of hunting and being out bid I finally got a sharp GX 30i for £75, I'd say it was around a year ago so not a bad price considering they are still about £200 to buy brand new. When it arrived I was impressed it looked brand new, still had the protective cover on the screen and no scratches what so ever. So off I went to test the camera. The...

Review of Sharp GX30i

Sharpe's Beginnings

Advantages: An excellent story, good characterisation, enjoyable book
Disadvantages: -

...It's 1799 and young soldier Richard Sharpe and his battalion are preparing for the siege of Seringapatam in India. It's the first time Sharpe will really taste battle as they attempt to topple the Tippoo of Mysore. When a senior officer is captured by the enemy Lieutenant Lawford requests that Sharpe accompany him in a mission within the City to rescue his uncle. For Sharpe this is the ideal way to escape the grasps of his tyrannical Sergeant Hakeswill. It turns out though that Sharpe's problems are just beginning and he has to make certain decisions to aid the British invasion. This is currently the first novel in Bernard Cornwell's series of books following the adventures of Richard Sharpe. Of course most people will be more familiar with the exploits of Sharpe on ITV starring Sean Bean. Until recently this had been my only...

Review of Sharpe's Tiger - Bernard Cornwell

Razor Sharp

Advantages: small, large screen, easy to use
Disadvantages: short battery life

...I was one of thos kids who grew up using nokias, so when I upgraded to a sharp gx10i a couple of years ago I was at first, understandably, I feel, a bit wary. However, the sharp phones are very easy to use, and the instruction manuals are extremely helpful. I loved my gx10, (especially seeing as it was my first flip-phone), so when I was offered a free upgrade to the gx15 I grudgingly accepted it. As I am on a vodafone contract I got the gx15 free after having the gx10i for a year. When I received it I instantly fell in love with it, it has all the wonderful aspects of the gx10i, and then improvements on top of it. The first delight of it is the size of the screen. The phone is relatively small, and the manafacturers decided that of the screen and the buttons, they would make the screen larger and the buttons smaller. This decision I...

Review of Sharp GX15

Indecent Exposure - Tom Sharpe

Advantages: Hilarious
Disadvantages: Crude, Lots Of Bad Language

...Indecent Exposure by Tom Sharpe is the sort of Book that you will either love or hate. First Published back in 1973 as a follow up to his Novel "Riotous Assembly" two years earlier this is a Book that has been doing the rounds for many years. The Story is set in the Town of Piemburg in South Africa and centres around the farcical Character that is Kommandent van Heerden, who is the Town's Chief of Police who has an unhealthy facsination for the English and their way of life. Meanwhile the equally eccentric Lieutenant Verkramp is plotting to undermine the Kommandant and aspires to one day become the Kommandant himself. The Story is set against the backdrop of South Africa's White middle Class Society. Its Characters, poke fun at the deluded way of life that these Men lead. These people are Racist and Fascist and truly believe that...

Review of Indecent Exposure - Tom Sharpe

Sharpe is Furious!

Advantages: Sharpe Novel so always a leasure
Disadvantages: Disjointed feel

...Sharpe's Fury is the latest in the long running series by Bernard Cornwell detailing the heroics and exploits of Richard Sharpe, a common soldier during the Penninsular War whose skill in battle leads to promotion and a different set of problems battling against the class system of the British military. The novel was released last summer (august '06) and is the 21st book in the series (I think this makes Sharpe one of the longest running characters in terms of number of adventures). As Bernard Cornwell didn't know how popular the books (and later TV series) would be the stories were originally chronological, although in the last decade or so he has begun to fill in the gaps between these, hence this is the latest novel however chronologically the 11th story. The book is set in 1811 and reflects the Battle of Barossa in Spain...

Review of Sharpes Fury - Bernard Cornwell

Sharpe gets whipped

Advantages: Fills in some of the missing background to the "later" books, Pretty compelling read
Disadvantages: Not as fresh as some of the others in the series.

...As the 18th century draws to a close Private Richard Sharpe finds himself persecuted, bored and ready to run from the British Army while stationed in India. After a particularly brutal (and undeserved) punishment he's given the chance to escape from the tyrannical (and insane) Sergeant Hawkswill, when he is sent into the midst of the enemy to rescue a senior officer and just possibly save the army from an ignominious and catastrophic defeat. Although, in chronological terms, this is the first novel in the Sharpe series, it was actually one of the later books to be published. As such Cornwell seems to have far more of an idea of his main characters traits and rather than going through a natural progression throughout the book, it was almost as if they were transplanted "ready-made" from the very first page. While this doesn't make them...
