Logitech Z-5500...It will blow your head off!!!

Advantages: Very loud, very good quality, easy to set up
Disadvantages: Big and heavy subwoofer but that's to be expected!

...~ Intro ~ After many weeks of searching the internet and looking round stores like comet and Curreys for a surround sound system, I wasn't really any better off than when I started. The main thing that I had learnt from my experience was that websites didn't give you enough information on the products they were selling and store associates didn't really know all that much either. ~ The Setup I Wanted ~ My problem was that I had recently got a new HDTV and a PS3 - quite a good set up. So now all I wanted was surround sound to complete my little entertainment centre. So for this, I wanted some good quality speakers that I could plug into my TV or ps3 that would output surround sound when playing games and watching DVD's or blue rays on the ps3 - simple? No not really. ~ Research ~ Firstly, not knowing much about surround sound systems...

Sony KDL-46W5500 - awesome LCD TV with stunning pictures

Advantages: Stunning pictures, loaded with features, useful extra connection options
Disadvantages: Expensive - but it is a Sony

...Finally decided to upgrade my old Trintron CRT and spent the past 3 months or so looking at the various LCDs available out there. I initially settled on a Sony KDL46W4500 after seeing one in a store and was just about to part with my hard earned cash when I started reading reviews and read about the so-called dreaded 'backlight bleed'. Given the high cost of the Sony, this completely put me off, so it was back to the drawing board for me. I spent more time looking around but never quite found a set I fancied as much as the 46W4500, that was until the Sony KDL46W5500 came out. I couldn't find any reviews but found it online at a very competitive price so I decided to take a chance on it. All I can say is I'm glad I took the risk. The picture on this set is nothing short of stunning. I don't have HD installed yet but the SD picture is...

Nokia 5500 Sport

Advantages: Durable, packed with features
Disadvantages: mmmmm none that I can see

.... Don't get me wrong, this is a decent smartphone in its own right and it's better than any other durable phones at the moment, but obviously it has to be compared to other brand new models as well. The 5500 has been designed to work around you, rather than begging for your direct attention, and in this field it's absolutely great. If you are used to a nokia symbian phone then you will find your way round this phone quick smart. Yes the keys can be a bit fiddly but, what can you expect its a small phone and those little keys keep it small. In short, the Nokia 5500 is the first truly durable and portable smartphone, but that durability inevitably brings certain restrictions with it. If the E61 is a Merc and the N93 is a BMW, the 5500 is a Ford Focus....

Will it get 5500/5500 or 5/5500?

Advantages: Cheap, Simple, Does it's job, Clear enough...
Disadvantages: ...Not HD quality, Kinda small, not incredibly vibrant colours

...So Still sat in the Uni Library (see the COMPAQ Evo review), and I though I'd review the monitor that's sat inches in front of my bored and sad little face. It's a startling silver colour (imagine a silver ps2/ps3 if you would) on the front, with a dull black casing away from the front panel. The product name is at the top of the monitor just above the screen) with COMPAQ in red to the "viewers" left and "5500" in black to the right. Theres three buttons in the centre (menu, - and +) with an on/off switch to the right...all pretty bog standard really. The size, 15" isn't really upto much, I'd feel much more "at home" (my house PC, not laptop is 19") with a larger screen but I guess it's acceptable if nothing else. The quality is possibly off todays standards of HD ready 1080i monitors, but it's again an acceptable standard. However...

Nokia 5500 Good Phone

Advantages: Great phone with lots of freatures and good battery life
Disadvantages: Can be slow sometimes when working from the memory card

...This phone is great if your you are always dropping your phone like me. I have dropped this one quite a few times with no ill effects whereas previous phones i have had have just smashed on contact with the ground, I put this down to it having a robust body and being very sterile built. The phone is also dust resistant and has a sealed case which is good because nothing cab get into the phone but it leave no room for personalization because the case of the phone can't be changed .Nokia mainly aimed the phone at the building trade but its a good phone for anyone. The Nokia 5500 is packed with features that you would expect in the very high end phones. It is bluetooth 2.0 compliant , a feature i use regularly, and it supports all the usual features that most mobile phones have nowadays such as GPRS and a camera(see specs for full...

Fujifilm S5500

Advantages: Price, Looks, Feel, and most importantly images.
Disadvantages: Speed from off to ready to shoot

...and Feel: The S5500 looks the business, if you show up with one of these in your hand you will look like you are serious and know exactly what you are doing (even if you don?t). Although smaller than an SLR, it retains the look and handling of one. It is big for a digital though, so be warned if you just want something to stick in your shirt pocket, this baby will not fit. I keep mine on me most of the time, worn in a Lowepro pack on my belt, and I have got wedged in chairs because of it on more than one occasion. The grip and most of the camera has a non-slip rubberised feel to it, which makes it very nice to use on extended shoots. Power: It takes four standard AA batteries, which I was concerned about to begin with, but the original batteries lasted several days of intense use and when they ran out, I just nipped into the nearest shop...

T0715 for Epson printers

Advantages: cheaper to buy 4 but can also buy singly
Disadvantages: you have to look around for the cheapest as prices do vary

...The inks are Black T0711 Cyan T0712 Magenta T0713 Yellow T0714 Each pack comes in a vacuum wrapping and it is worth to not open until you need it. To use you just pull off the yellow strip and just drop it into your printer. It really is as simple as that. Instructions do say to shake the ink cartridge 4 or 5 times before putting it in but I have forgotten to do that and panic stations, but it made absolutely no difference that I could see but perhaps I was just lucky. These cartridges cannot be refilled and I have not yet seen any recycling place that it happy to receive them - probably just because they cannot be refilled. How long do they last? Well that is like how long is a piece of string as it really does depend on the amount of printing that you do. The colours are all sharp and good though. Summary It...

Review of Epson Multipack T0715 - print cartridge (C13T07154010)

Light weight, Fast, Easy to use and very stylish

Advantages: Light and Fast
Disadvantages: battery life could be better

...Samsung X-11 T5500 (Ceseba) --------------------------------------------- I got this little neat laptop some weeks ago and am very satisfied with it. Since unpacking it, I have tested all its features and can honestly say that it was worth the cost. Since then Samsung has released some newer models but I can not say that I regretted having waited at all. Most of all I was lucky and got Windows XP with it since I would prefer working witha working and tested operating system insetead of a just introduced and not very much tested operating system (Windows Vista). General information --------------------------- - Processor: Intel® Core? 2 Duo Prozessor T5500 1,66 GHz 2 MB Cache 667 MHz FSB - OS: Original Microsoft® Windows® XP Home - Memory: 1024 MB PC2-4200 (2x512MB) RAM - HD: 100 GB 5.400 UPM - Display : 14" WXGA...

5500 deer and 210 people!

Advantages: Quiet yet wild, remote but civilised, no queues for anything!
Disadvantages: Relatively difficult and expensive to get to, cost of living is higher

... Jura ? right on the mainland?s doorstep, yet has all the feel of a remote island ?5500 deer and around 200 people? ? you could almost sum up the Isle of Jura using those few words, and I?ve seen brief references to the island in guidebooks on Scotland do just that. However, that?s really short-changing the island and its people, so I?m going to try and do Jura some justice, give it the five-star treatment and pack as much detail as I can, gleaned from just a single visit back in May 2009. I do want to return to the island at some point ? but its relative isolation makes this somewhat difficult, which probably explains why the place is one of Scotland?s hidden attractions. You really have to want to go to Jura in order to find yourself there ? it?s not a place that you?ll find yourself at by accident. Jura? Never heard of it...

T & C

Advantages: A great challenge from Coolaskaha
Disadvantages: A corny response

...Coolaskaha has authored this challenge, and Christianfilmcritic did a good version of it. In my twisted sense of humour, I saw opportunities to make my pals groan - so here we go.! 1. ITV or BBC? It was neither - I promise you - when I didn't turn up for church that week, I was genuinely sick, and I was not watching ITV or BBC, not even UKTV? I was really sick. 2. Sunny or Rainy? Of course its rainy at the moment.! How can you possibly ask if its sunny, when this is spring time in Ireland 3. Cat or Dog? I would be quite prepared to eat either actually, and think that I probably have at some time or other; but if you are offering them in a stir fry with crispy noodles, I think the cat may be more tender, thanks. 4. Cod or Haddock? I've been sitting on the beach for three hours today, and I haven't caught anything yet, so...
