Advantages: Faster, incorparated gps
Disadvantages: size a little bulky

...HTC TyTnII is a value for money phone. It has a special function of the qwerty keyboard, which slides underside of the phone. Allthough its a little bulky, it provides with quite good features. The HTC home plugin has been incorporated in the phone on the today screen. The phone has a special function of 3g, Video conferencing, which is absent in the TyTn. The qwerty keyboard provides easiness in typing word documents and notes. The email in this phone has been at par to the blackberrys. The Incorporated GPS in this phone is pretty accurate. The GPS can also be used on Livemaps. The Traffic Tv on this phone, lets user view realtime traffic flow in specific areas. The newly incorparated OS6 in this phone is pretty faster than regular WM6 os on any other wm powered device.... Read review

Advantages: Does everything in an ideal form factor
Disadvantages: Battery won't last 2 days without a re-charge.

.... For example, this is also called the MDA Vario III by t-mobile. That unit has a smooth, shiny back. That makes it slide around on a table. The HTC unit has a slightly rubberised back, which doesn't slide and is easier to hold. Also, synchronisation with WM6 and ActiveSync 4.5 is awkward and takes a lot of coaxing. Also, don't use the provided version of Sprite Backup, it'll duplicate files on your machine and if you have 6000-odd PIM items, you'll get a 30 Mb pim.vol file that when duplicated will grind the machine to a halt. Use version 6, available direct from Spite, and you'll be fine. Took me about a week to set the thing up, but once done, it's great.... Read review

Advantages: Real time prices that flash Red and blue before your eyes
Disadvantages: Too many people looking for a verbal fight on the bulletin boards

...iii.co.uk Interactive Investor, has been around on the internet for along time. I think I discovered it around 1995 - 1996. And with each year since it began iii.co.uk (iii) has improved no end. I use a number of investor sights everyday, but the site I use as my homepage is iii.co.uk. The reasons.. many! Firstly it is my impression after using a number of portfolio tracking sights from Uk-invest, ADVFN, sharepages, motley fool too name a few. iii's is the best! You can track your stocks from a day too day basis, and for free. If you use there free service you get a 15minute delay on your portfolio prices during the day. However if you opt for the subscription which I have since its launch about 6months ago, you get real-time prices on your portfolio. This is great too keep track of movements during the trading day.

Advantages: Cool Graphics, Fun, Scooped up single player mode, 4 Player :-)
Disadvantages: No online play, No mouse and keyboard support :-(

...Quake III eh? I'm sure you've heard of it on the PC and Dreamcast and quite probably own it. But those of you who don't then you need to get your head out of the miserable cave you're stuck in and focus your eyes on this opinion. I own both the PS2 version of QuakeIII that I got cheap off an auction (ebay.co.uk) and a PC version. The differences are small, the PS2 version offering new weapons (which are borrowed from Quake III Team Arena on the PC), PS2 specific maps and game-modes. The weapons and maps make no real difference but the single player mode has been improved dramatically. No longer you simply go though the game within 3 days beating simply every bot in every deathmatch map the games has to offer, nay. The single player mode on the PS2 starts off with selecting a character from five (Sarge, Anarki, Doom, Klesk and Daemia... Read review

Advantages: Hero feature, Neutral creatures, Good graphics, Good storyline.
Disadvantages: Maximum 90 population, Hard single player, no boats (like in warcraft 2)

...When i first installed and played the game Warcraft III i could already see that this was going to be one of those classic games. The cinematics are awesome, the storyline is great (and original) and gameplay is simple yet complicated. Simple enough for the beginners, yet highly in depth for the experts (especially when playing online). The graphics of the game are great, the fact that a strategy game has come out in real 3D really shows what great developers blizzard have. The fact that the game ties in at points from warcraft 2 (such as some of the units/abilities eg: blizzard) are really cool, this gives you a feeling of familiarity to a game (something that all games need) and yet it does not make you say "yez, another game that’s exactly like its predecessor with only hyped up graphics" The reason im saying that familiarity...

Advantages: fast socket 7 chip
Disadvantages: dont make them anymore

...There is one simple reason why AMD stopped making the K6-III processor chip. that reason is that the chip was just too good. Yes seriously the K6-III was too good for AMD to sell. Strange you think that AMD would not sell such a good chip. Well the reason behind it was that AMD was about to release the Athlon at the time which would be its new intel beating power chip. To make the Athlon such a succsess they had to make the gap between its last chip and this new one as big as possible. AMD feared that if the K6-III was still on sale it would eat into the profits of the Athlon and so make the Athlon not appear as good. Image is just as important as the profits. The K6-III 450 would be about the equivalent power or a k6-2 550-600 in my opinion. With a decent graphics card it would suit any mid range system. The K6-III... Read review

Advantages: Good graphics
Disadvantages: Lacks something...

...Well, both Quake III and Unreal Tounrament are magnificent games, but personally I prefer Unreal, because the gameplay is far more better... why is it better? well, you may think that Quake II and Unreal are the same kind of games, and they are but Unreal just seems to have that extra thing, that extra UMPH! over Quake III... Quake III has stunning graphics and sound, but it still lacks something, that something that Unreal has... I can't explain it properly... But I do have to say that Unreal is better all round than Quake III... even though Unreal requires a good video card, it's still very good... So if you're stuck in a situation between Quake III and Unreal Tournament, then I say choose Unreal Tournament... Go on you know you want to!!!... Read review

Advantages: Frantic paced gameplay, good multiplayer
Disadvantages: Not quite as good as the PC version

...Following the massively successful game for PC, EA Games have brought the Quake format onto Playstation 2 with Quake III Revolution. Now Quake II for PC was primarily an online multiplayer game, so understandably the original format has had to undergo a lot of changes to make it suitable for console use. So the storyline goes: You are a warrior captured by a race called the Vadrigar who force you to fight other warriors to the death in purpose built arenas. Within the arenas, the only rule is "Kill or be Killed". However, constant battle has made you much stronger than the Vadrigar ever expected and now you are powerful enough and in a position to fight for your freedom. Basically, what this means is that you have to fight your way through a series of arenas, participating in the games of the Vadrigar and defeating other warriors... Read review

Advantages: Easy to track my portfolio and find the latest information about my shares.
Disadvantages: you cant deal your share on the web site "YOU CAN NOW DO THIS AT VERY GOOD PRICE OF £10.00

...III is a finical Web site that I use for tacking my share portfolio. I use the free service, if your willing to pay for the service you get extra things like real time prices, which if you need that sort of thing could be very useful. The things that I like about III is that you get to see people comments on a company and what they think, although you have to remember their comments could be made up, so ensure that you do your own research before acting up on their options. Sometime people comments can be childish, you can also post you owen comments. You can set up number of different portfolio, like "your portfolio", "watch list", "spread betting list" ect. There are also very help graphs that you can use, with performance from a day to Years; you can also compare one company against another or abd index. It also... Read review
