Bob on the Phone For You!

Advantages: Fun and learning
Disadvantages: short cord

...Vtech - Bob The Builder Play Phone?.. This was yet another one of Jack's presents from Christmas this year and yet again one that truly is a good one. Jack's uncle gave this to him but I think if we had paid for it ourselves we would have spent around £15 as this is the standard price at most places I have seen it. The toy is basically a talking play telephone that has three different modes of play. These are: Can you learn it? Can you learn it? and Can you find it? The telephone has lovely large chunky buttons that light up when pressed or when the telephone calls them out. There is a yellow telephone receiver that can be picked up and replaced quite easily. The only downside with the receiver it that the cord is such a short length that it is impossible to have the toy on the floor and to lift the receiver to the ear. I...

Meet Charlie the Chatter Phone

Advantages: Loads Of Play Value
Disadvantages: None

...Meet Charlie the Chatter Phone~Fisher price Pull along Chatter Phone I think most of us remember or owned a Fisher Price chatter phone when we were younger. I loved mine and I decided this would be really good for the role play corner as well as being a great baby toy so bought one for my setting online at Amazon. ~The Look~ Charlie the chatter phone is made of plastic and he has four red wheels and a blue base his upper body is white and he has a turn able rainbow dial with numbers 0-9 on it these make a ringing sound when you turn the dial , just like the old phones did. Charlie has a really friendly smiling face and his eyes move up and down when you pull him along by his string. The cord is blue and short on the handset but this is for safety to stop a small child getting it tangled round their neck. ~Play Value...

Review of Fisher-Price Chatter Telephone

Ring ring ring and play away who is on the phone today

Advantages: Lots of different sounds and melodies
Disadvantages: Not really a soft phone as the name suggests

...Recently my little girl (7 months) is into absolutely everything, she seems to have a real thing for our sky remote and our mobile phones so I decided to find her a toy that was a similar size to the TV buttons so she could play with that instead of constantly turning the TV over and pressing the mute button etc. After having a look around the new Toys R Us store in my area I came across the Vtech Soft Singing Phone, as soon as I saw it I thought it would be perfect because it's a phone & a similar size to the TV buttons. What's in the box? All you get in the box is the toy itself & a set of instructions which tell you how to fit the batteries & what functions the toy has. The Phone: There are two versions of this phone one is bright pink and purple which was great for my little girl and the other is yellow, blue and red so ideal...

Phone booth, simple yet so complex...

Advantages: Great tension.
Disadvantages: Adverts when it's on television coming in at key moments.

...So here we have it; a film shot in 10 days, only 81 minutes long, and pretty much entirely set in a phone booth... How good can it be? I asked myself when it was first released. People told me to watch it, and I thought why not, but for some odd reason it's taken me until it was on television last night to watch it. The film starts off with a publicist (Stu, played by Colin Farrell) who the audience instantly takes a dislike to because of the way he is treating people. WE see a few more minutes of a little background of the guy, until he walks into a Phone Booth about 5 minutes into the film, then BANG! The story grabs you and doesn't let go as the sniper locks his sights on Stu and makes the phone call in a typical psycho menacing voice. That's all that needs to be said on the story. For a relatively simple plot, this film has...

Internet phone but very good for Skype too... this is my "how to"

Advantages: no batteries required - makes skype more friendly - low price
Disadvantages: wire too short

...This Tesco Internet Phone is a USB-wired little phone which was created to be used with Tesco internet phone service. I couldn't care less of that service but I was very interested in buying a a cheap PC phone to use on skype and I read this would work ok. The price was an absolute deal... 1p! You don't belive me? I didn't believe my eyes either but that was the price tag on it. They were practically giving them away, why not try it then? I bought two or three (I can't remember exactly), just in case one broke or for a particularly cheap gift. Total price 3p. How does it work then? Well it's literally a plug-and-play device. You don't need to install anything if you only want to use it for skype. It is automatically recognized by Windows XP or Vista as a usb microphone and set of speakers (it will show up as USB AUDIO DEVICE). Once it...

I'd Luv To Be In A Phone Booth With Colin Farrell

Advantages: Great idea and story, brilliant performance from Colin Farrell, exciting.
Disadvantages: The ending is a bit of a disappointment.

...I?m such a gigantic Colin Farrell fan, so watching ?Phone booth? was only inevitable. I dragged my mate to watch it and all I can say is I was not disappointed. One of the things that convinced me to see this was the fact that it focuses on Colin Farrell for the majority of the movie. Now what else could a Farrell fan ask for? I had actually heard a great deal about this movie before it was made. Jim Carrey was originally lined up to play the main role, and supposedly it was going to be a comedy rather than a thriller. He turned it down and the part was later offered to Will Smith who obviously turned it down also. And that?s where the lovely Colin comes in. How can a movie about a man stuck in a phone booth be exciting? I guess that was the question on my mind, with such a simple idea, could it be kept exciting without losing any...

Big phone

Advantages: Easy to ajust to. Life saver for busy lives.
Disadvantages: expensive.

...Ok i am a very busy mum so i decided to buy this phone. It is a bit pricey, but worth it. The keys are a bit small if you have big fingers like moi, but you get used to them. I Got mine on ebay so it was cheaper than the retail price, of which i am not sure of, but i got mine for about £130. It is easy to navigate your way through the toolbar. It has alot of applications. The camera is good quality, but you have to be rather still to take it so it does not blur, and in the dark it does not have anything fancy really to take pictures. It is easy to ajust to the phone. and easy to pick up phone calls. It does not have annoying ring tones. The battery life was surprisingly longer than i would have thought for such a big phone with many functions, about 12 hours, and then it quickly charges up again. Thought i would keep this review short...

bobs on the phone

Advantages: great toy
Disadvantages: none

...Bob the builders talking telephone is fantastic for any child who likes bob the builder, even though i have two girls we have a house full of bob things as my youngest loves him.

The second mode is called can you follow it where it tells you the name of the character on the telephone key to press and you have to press them in the right order, the telephone keys also light up red to help you. The third mode is can...

Don't Answer the Phone

Advantages: Colin Farrell, suspense, the hookers
Disadvantages: preachy, a little on the cheesy side

...Stu Shepard (Colin Farrell) is a sleazy, New York publicist who lies to his clients and his press contacts using two mobile phones. Because his wife (Radha Mitchell) checks his phone bills, Stu steps into a phone booth near Times Square everyday to call Pam (Katie Holmes), a pretty, young actress. In this overtly moralistic fable, Stu's extramarital sins are limited to taking off his wedding ring for his daily phone calls. In other words, Stu has merely coveted someone else, but it is for his falseness that director Joel Schumacher and writer Larry Cohen want Stu to be punished. One fateful day, Stu's lies catch up with him as the phone in his booth rings. Unable to resist the urge to answer a ringing phone, Stu picks up the receiver and hears, essentially, the voice of God on the other end. The caller (Kiefer Sutherland) knows...

Don't answer that phone

Advantages: well acted, great direction, intelligent script
Disadvantages: mystery man is no mystery

...Have you ever been in a phone booth and the phone has rung? If so, did you answer it? And if you?ve not been in that situation, would you answer it? Chances are that you did or would, and it was a boring wrong number. But would you do it again after watching Phone Booth? Phone Booth opens with the best opening credits I?ve seen in a long time. It takes the hustle and bustle of New York, throws in some lettering and splits the screen into a hundred blocks of different people talking on different phones. Enter Stu Shephard, an arrogant, word-spinning, materialistic publicist peddling lies on his cellphone to a host of different people as he strides through New York?s hectic streets. We dislike him instantly, though . We dislike him even more when he enters the phone booth he enters each day to call a naïve young woman he...
