GigaWorks T20, music to my ears

Advantages: great sound quality, easy to install, very functional, easy to use
Disadvantages: could designed better

...The speakers that came as standard with our PC package can only be described as poor, the quality of the sound produced, the bass and volume controls were of such a low quality that after a couple of weeks of listening to my MP3 files through them and becoming frustrated I had something which my husband described as a ?Tasmanian Devil? incident and subsequently punched a hole in the closest speaker. I would add that this is out of character but that was of little consolation to the speaker which refused to do anything but sit in pieces on the desk. A replacement was called for and I was determined to find the best speakers around to avoid any further tantrums and to make sure I could enjoy my music while working from home without moving our stereo system around. The resulting research led me to the Creative Giga Works T20 speaker system...

Review of Creative GigaWorks T20

Passat 1.8t 20v Sport.

Advantages: Big boot, Good motorway cruise missile, suprised in how cheap parts are.
Disadvantages: A bit thirsty, ride quality a bit soft. keep grouding on speed humps.

...is quite good on the motorway, very quiet, smooth but it gets a bit wishy washy on the back roads. I do find that on the sport models the ride hight is low and i am forever scraping over speed humps and kerbs causing a bit of damage to the nappy under the engine which does come loose if you don't keep an eye on it, and is a part of the cars aerodynamics. So make sure it's got one before you buy. Also check the suspension bushes on high mileage one's this can be expensive and there is a lot of them on the passat. The engine is a 1.8, 20 valve, Turbo charged unit which develops around 150bhp, its the same engine the Audi TT which runs at 225bhp. So the engine isn't under to much stress. The power is good, but i do find that it needs a bit of reving to get it goin...

IRiver T20 MP3 player

Advantages: Small, light, jog proof and fits in my denim jacket
Disadvantages: only 512 MB, looks a bit old fashioned, not as 'cool' as an ipod...

...for an ipod shuffle for my birthday and I had tried to squeeze my old mp3 into it, but with no luck. It hasn't gone to waste as i use it everyday, ok every other day. When I go to the gym as although a bit stretched as regards width it fits to close with the velcro fastening fine for my iriver. Memory: 512MB, which means it can carry about 140 songs but it varies as to the format of your music and also the length. Some, such as classical music are 15mins long and so take up more memory therefore you might only be able to store 70 or so. The functioning on this works so that you can delete songs manually on the go, you don't have to plug it into your computer to edit. This is great if you want to record a voice recording and have filled too much memory, simply go to tools in menu and delete one be one songs and select the ones you want to remove...

Grinning Roaring Coops (20v T Cupra)

Advantages: A Performance Bargain, VW Qaulity, Practicallity
Disadvantages: Watch those speed traps ;-)

...If you are looking to buy a hot hatch, or even a family hatch with that little bit extra, then this has got to be on your shortlist. I'm going to talk about the reasons why. Firstly the car is incredibly fast. 0-60/mph in 7.2 seconds and loads of mid range grunt make driving easy. As I come away from a roundabout and put my foot down in 3rd I cannot help but smile as the front wheels scramble for traction. The push from the turbo is just incredible, this 1.8 20V Turbo engine produces 180BHP at 5500rpm with such fluidity. Its almost as if there is a higher force involved. A big plus point for this car is the styling. It looks very menacing - managing to look fast when it's not even going anywhere. It comes as standard with 5 spoke 17" Alloys, Cupra bodykit and cool all-honeycomb front grills (even the Cupra R misses out a bit here...

T20 - Wow, excellent little phone UPDATED 23rd FEB

Advantages: Size, Looks, Features
Disadvantages: Small screen & buttons

...Wow! What an excellent phone! Has anyone else got one yet? What do you think of it? I have just got rid of 2 faulty Nokia 3310's and opted for a T20 instead. I have gone through loads of phones in the past 5 years (Nokia 3310, 3210, Siemens C25, Motorola etc) but I have never experienced an Ericsson phone. Firstly, there's three colours to choose from - I chose the silver weave (not quite so noticeable!). The phone is also WAP (although the small screen makes this quite difficult to use). The phone is so cool to look at - I love the screen light up colour (blue-ish green)! It's small enough to put in your pocket and has loads of features (WAP, 4 games, swatch internet time, voice dialing, vibrating alert etc). It also has a help facility if you 'hover' long enough over any of the menu items This is definitely the best phone I...

Ericsson T20 - Respect the phone

Advantages: Light, Features, Small
Disadvantages: Donkey D**k Aerial (Ha Ha Ha)

...20 that has you controlling a spacecraft trying to get to your destination. the only things stopping you are rival spaceships and flying meteors. Ballpop - Ballpop has you popping balls amazingly. You are a block at one end of the screen angling a ball towards other balls in order to pop them. Very good game that starts of a little slow but speeds up as the levels progress. God I'm glad I'm of the games section. Why they have to be so hard to explain is beyong my. Sorry if my descriptions of the games sound a bit weird. Alarm Clock ----------- An alarm clock is also avalble on the phone is you need to be up at a certain time. All you have to do is set the time and your away. The good thing about this function is that your phone doesn't have to be turned on for the alarm to activate. Ringtones --------- Ringtones seem to be...

passat 1.8t 20v love this car hate petrol prices

Advantages: fast, big, good looking list goes on.
Disadvantages: fuel consumption, rear suspension, seats, light steering.

...Why did I sell this car! I bought a passat because I needed a bigger car. I have always been into volkswagons so I know alot about the engines e.t.c. I started out by looking at the tdi to be sensible but saw a 1.8 20v on ebay which I payed £2200 for. My first suprise was how quick the car was, I knew it was 1.8 turbo but its a big car (bigger than some parking spaces). The fist few days i was driving it i was like a loony, how could a car this big go this fast. I then proceeded to take all my freinds out in it who were equally amazed. This car would give my golf gti a run for its money. After zooming the car around i realised i was going to the petrol station a hell of a lot, but i didn't mind cos i felt great when i was driving. You know the feeling you get when you are driving around in a nice car you are proud of...

Review of Volkswagen Passat 1.8T 20V

T20 buy it before it becomes popular

Advantages: Great looks, compact, fun games, T9, battery life, excellent value for money, fairly unique
Disadvantages: No express on covers

...The Ericsson T20 is a fantastic mobile phone. It hasn’t been hyped up, and at the moment relatively few people have it which makes it more appealing. Many of my friends thought it was a contract phone but was is also available as prepay as well. At first site the grey exterior is a little boring I admit, and you cannot snap on any fascias either. Nonetheless it is a very small, sleek and sexy compact mobile phone. As I say so far the most appealing thing is that not everyone has it yet unlike the Nokia 3210 and 3310 which is as common as muck! The screen may look as big compared to many phones on the market, but it is wide and of a very high resolution. The games on here are excellent, such as this game where you have to bounce this ball of a moving base which knocks out the bricks. There is other games on the phone which...

Samsung NC20 Black

Advantages: Battery life, size and weight
Disadvantages: None so far!

...I have just purchased a Samsung NC20 from Amazon. I originally planned on getting the NC10 after reading lots of fantastic reviews, but I was apprehensive about the size, being approx 10" screen. Anyway I heard about the NC20, and after seeing a HP notebook of the same size, I decided to wait for that instead... Amazon have had the white version in stock for a few weeks, but the Black one only came in this week. Customer service was excellent, I ordered on Wed evening, but due to a problem with my card, the order only went through at 6.30pm on Thursday...it was then delivered at 8.30am on Friday!!! That's what I call express service! The cost was about £375, so it's not the cheapest on the market, but the reviews of the NC10 swayed me in spending a little extra. Anyway I've been pretty much glued to it ever since...

Review of Samsung NC20

One of the best 2.0 setups for a PC etc.

Advantages: Great sound, classy looks, easy access to volume, bass, treble controls, long cables
Disadvantages: Bright blue LED that would do anyone's eyes in

...If you're out to purchase some PC speakers and don't want a 7.1, 5.1 or 2.1 setup cluttering your desk and room then this 2.0 setup is a very good choice. They may seem small and not powerful but unless you're an audiophile that must have the loudest speakers in your neighborhood these will do just fine. They are still very loud and audio clarity is very good. It's only if you turn it right up to the max can you expect a little distortion. Cable length is generous and build quality is very good, with a classy shiny finish. Volume, treble and bass control knobs are apparent on the front hence easy to reach. The only annoying thing would have to be the bright blue LED that especially at night can overpower your eyes. Overall very good, and worth their price. Only true professionals might be somewhat disappointed....
