W960i...Bravo, Sony Ericsson!!!

Advantages: touchscreen, walkman player, adjustability
Disadvantages: I've listed a few

... Sony Ericsson W960i One of the newest Sony Ericsson cell phones on the market, a great promise, but what's inside for real - can SE live up to its promise, can't they or do they give even more? I've upgraded to W960i after years of using W800i and a brief Nokia E51 experience. Quick summary The phone takes about a minute to start and you can select among switching on the phone or a flight mode - safe to use the device on board or in hospitals as a music player only. It plays music and video files, allows you to listen to radio and browse the internet, take photos and videos as well as record sounds and keep all your important notes and agenda in one place. It runs on the UIQ 3 system, which is a big change from Symbian, as it's not so intuitive and actually it's rather like a little computer than a cellphone. It...

Sony Ericsson W960i against iPhone & the N-Series

Advantages: 8GB Internal Memory, Touch Screen, 3G & Stylish Design
Disadvantages: NO Infrared port, Sound average

...The Sony Ericsson W960i is about the same size as there other Cyber-Shot range but is more stylish in design compared to there previous Walkman series. - 109 x 55 x 16 mm - 119 grams The phone has no card slot as seen in previous models but has a impressive 8GB of internal memory, so why would you want a card slot? 8GB internal memory is big enough for internal standards let alone for external cards. The W960i is a 3G phone and has many features which include 8GB of storage as mentioned above, touch screen, UIQ interface, wi-fi and 3.2 mega pixel camera. Below is a full list of features and spec of the phone: - UMTS / GSM 900 / GSM 1800 / GSM 1900 - 2.6 Inch TFT Touch Screen - 256K colors - 240 x 320 pixels - Handwriting recognition - MP3, AAC & Polyphonic (40 channels) Ringtones - Composer & Download (Ringtones...

Sony Ericsson W960i

Advantages: Good all-rounder, an excellent alternative to a seperate phone, MP3 and camera, outstanding reception
Disadvantages: Few: poor software, slow camera shutter speed

...I was very impressed with the packaging of the product when it arrived. Sony Ericsson scored an ace in that respect. The free pouch it came with certainly help keep the phone in good condition. The appearance of the phone is smart. The white strip provides a good contrast with the black of the rest of the phone, but despite being a nice stylistic device, it doesn't really hide the fact that the phone is quite large. Not unexpected, given the type of phone, but a fact nevertheless. The phone fits well in one's hand. The scroller is excellent, just where it should be, making navigation of the lists easy. Just as well, because it is quite dificult to scroll down the lists using the stylus and touch screen. The touch screen works much better when clean, I find that grime can acccumulate on it quite quickly. Unfortunately, it is quite...

Sony Ericsson W960i

Advantages: Touchscreen & massive memory
Disadvantages: Can sometimes be slow

...I have owned the Sony Ericsson "W960i" for a while now and thought I would write a review about it. TouchScreen I like the touchscreen on this phone; it saves having to scroll through different menus to access what you want as you can just directly touch the button needed. From the desktop, you have two options; the main menu and a shortcut menu where you can add your own icons for things that you use most often. I think that this type of usage helps speed up what you wish to do and it also just makes it seem more advanced than phones without touchscreens. Music The music function on this phone is very good in my opinion. You can have music stored on your phone in many different locations and in any named folders and the music software saves you from having to remember where you've saved things. You can select an option to...

Review of Sony Ericsson W960i

A Great System from Sony

Advantages: Nice Classy Design, Great Graphics, and a Good Online
Disadvantages: Small Gamelist Thus Far and Some Games Suffer From Framerate and Graphical Pop-Up Issues

...Sony's Playstation 3 is thier third go around in the Video Game business. My console reviews usually consist of reviews in the following categories Controller, Graphics, Multiplayer/Online, and Game Library. Much like the Xbox 360, i'll also be reviewing the Design of the PS3. The design of the PS3 is the more classy of the three new consoles. The PS3 is a black square system with a curved top. While the design is beautiful, this system is very big, matching the 360 in terms of size. The system also offers Blu-ray but, in my opinion, that should not be the only reason you should be spending $400-500 on this system. The PS3's controller is the classic Playstation controller once again and that shouldn't be a problem for any gamer. The original PS3 controller was the Sixaxis but is now Dualshock 3. For a company that created...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Sony is back with a bang!

Advantages: slick piece of hardware, great games, so much to do!
Disadvantages: not cheap!

...Having just recently won a competition to spend a night with the PS3 I figured it would be a smart idea to do a personal review of the console which everyone will be talking about (in the UK) in a few weeks to come. Please bear in mind that I have only had a chance to test this baby out for a few hours and so my review will not be as in-depth as you might expect. First Impressions The PS3 is indeed a slick looking machine, about the size of it's older brother (PS2) it seems as though finally Sony have caught on to the fact that the outer design of the console is as important to a gamer as the leather interior is to a 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Gone is that ugly block-like design and in comes a smooth surfaced console with curved edges just begging you to caress them. Much like it's predecessor, the PS3 can be placed...

Sony Official PS3 SIXAXIS Wireless Controller

Advantages: Great Design
Disadvantages: No Dual Shock

...This is a great controller jus like the classic ps1/ps2 the design stayed the same. This is the perfect controller i can not say anything about the slick design. As you may know this controller is wireless so you may use it from newere in the room so no messy wires hanging around. And the batttery lasts very long i dont have to charge it very often but i dont play hours every day either. Only bad this about this controller is that unlike the ps1/ps2 controllers this does not have dual shock so no rumble :(.This is because sony could not get rights for the technology. Sony what happened? Well good news this controller is being released again next year as Dual Shock 3 is comming out. So if you can wait i strongly urge you wait for it to come out as it is a great feature. The feeling for the game is lost without dual shock. Need...

Review of Sony Official PS3 SIXAXIS Wireless Controller

==Sony Have Done It Again!!==

Advantages: the most powerful console on the market, built in blu-ray player, internet capabilities, stylish
Disadvantages: none that i have yet found (owned for nearly 2 years)

...Let me start by saying, that despite the hefty rrp, despite the fact that its 3rd in the console race behind the nintendo wii and xbox 360 respectfully, the playstation 3 is in my honest opinion, the best out of the three without a doubt. When sony designed the playstation 3, it was intended to be a multimedia system that you could proudly place under your tv that dosn't look like it's ment to be in your teenagers bedroom and that they've comendeered your lcd tv because they can see more than they can on the portable in their room. i digress, they point i am trying to make is that this machine is as beautifull as it is powerful, and as practical as it is pricey (original rrp was £425) The playstation 3 is not just the best console (graphically nothing compares) it is also one of the best blu-ray players on the market and those...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Have Sony rolled in the next gen with a bang??

Advantages: Excellent multimedia package ahead of its time
Disadvantages: Backward compatability probs, and some minor glitches

...Sony Playstation 3 (60 GB) At last the pinnacle of next generation gaming is finally upon us. Or is it? Maybe so, but have we not seen all this already? Sony's new games console the Playstation 3 or more commonly known as the PS3 was finally released across the European Union and Australia as well as the other PAL region 2 compatible countries on Friday 23rd March. With up to 300,000 units available at launch it was unlikely that the PS3, which had already been available in Japan and US from November last year, was going to be an overnight sell out. Even now as I write this review they are still available in the stores. Disappointed ebay sellers, who had hoped to make a bit of profit from pre-order sales riding on the launches of Microsoft's Xbox 360, Nintendo's Wii and Sony's PSP, are well and truly kicking themselves now...

Digital Ixus 960 IS

Advantages: Image quality, face recognition, viewfinder, ease of use.
Disadvantages: 3.7 zoom, user guide.

...I've just got back from two week's holiday in Crete and Santorini with this camera and I am very impressed with the shots I've taken. I bought the Canon Ixus 960 IS as a solution to taking a digital SLR, plus lenses etc. due to hand luggage restrictions as it easily fits in a pocket. The image quality is pin sharp, focussing exceptional and since I have problems with camera shake due to arthritis I was overjoyed to find that the image-stabiliser technology works really well, except in the very darkest of night shots (taken on the cruise ship's deck). Facial recognition works surprisingly well, even when multiple faces are grouped together. The 3.7x zoom is the only real drawback, but it's a small enough niggle. In use I found it easy to swap between the different shooting modes, using the scene mode for most of my...
