the ipod comes formatted for the mac , but within seconds of plugging it into a pc , is automatically reformatted for windows ( the hp version comes with windows formatting , and takes seconds to change to mac ) although the ipod can be changed from one format to another , you will lose all of your music and data when doing so


in the auto mode it functions basically as a point and click , the scene modes are very easy to use and produce good results


i dont use the belt clip cz it fails to hold the player securely ( design problem )


works great ! ! ! !


ring tones only come with crazy songs and annoying rings , there is only one ring that sounds close to a regular ring


i have the software working fine now and the mp3 player is fantastic


bluetooth does not work on this phone


its a tough one this unless you wanna drive your car over it


i had to sit on the phone with customer support for 2 hours and they did not help at all


first , it really is tiny the size of a pack of cigarettes , maybe a scotch deeper


sometimes the pictures are on the dark side , but i ' m able to fix that using the photoshop 6 0 adjust levels function not sure how a person would do that without photoshop , though


this linksys router does it for the right price


its far heavier and much larger which might not seem to matter except if you use it while running or keep it in your pocket


sound quality was good but it was going to take some tweaking with settings to try to make it great


even the shorter battery life , though , has not impaired my positive experience with the zen micro in any way


2 excellent picture quality and so simple to use ! ! !


it would either not play the song at all , or skip wildly , no matter that the unit was resting on my desk


( you can do it one handed while still hanging on to the baby ) also , we like using regular trash bags instead of having to worry about buying refills ( like with the diaper genie )


every time nomad thinks the file is corrupt the os freezes


you can also assign special rings and graphics to special people when they call


the cover that came with it did n ' t fit very well


it has a clear blue light that allows you to see everything on the screen easily


while i was trying to play half life 2 it started popping up with alerts every twenty seconds ( literally ) , warning me my antivirus protection was off


very sturdy and strong


well , i got my second player , and right out of the box it wasn ' t working right and once again , after consulting customer se !


while it didn ' t have all the features i would have liked , it was better than anything else i could find at the time


this product is too fragile for normal use


the controls and the menus are clearly displayed and easily fathomed


the other day when i was listening to a song , it locked up and will not do anything now


great camera , i have been using this for several months and got excellent results , simple friendly usage , in many scenes indoor , outdoor , snow , close up macro etc


the more subtle tones that were included with the phone are hard to hear at times


2 ) the player user interface ( ui ) is intuitive to use , and allows easy navigation of a large or small collection


the phone must be shut down taken apart to change the memory card and turning the phone back on takes a little while


its also smaller , and gets more looks


but with a low price , comes lower quality


the storage capacity is great


however , it has failed to deliver on quality


mine installed no problem ( but i did uninstall my norton anti virus 2002 personal firewall 2002 first )


but it wouldn ' t let me turn the av protection back on and it wouldn ' t stop with the alerts


4 ) usb 2 0 means fast data transfers ( 1 song sec ! )


then the most disappointing was trying to use viper raised panel bits that just barely fit , and i mean just barely


comes with a 16 mb compact flash and one rechargable battery the charging unit , included , is fast and small


the fm radio ' s reception isn ' t spectacular , but it will pick up the most powerful stations in any given metro area


i could make phone calls from locations i previously could not ( like my apartment )


size bigger than the ipod


i also own a retail store and this little guy easily plugs into my aux slot in the store ' s sound system


also the feature to automatically put in the song information is n ' t always accurate


i do give create to creative for their attractive design


this camera has a major design flaw


and , with the ipods ' full volume up , all you have to do is adjust your receivers ' volume and your set , since the ipod itself acts as a strong amp lifer of its ' own


after 57 pictures total the lcd went black except for the icons showing the settings


the plunge lock and power switch are very easily accessible which is a must when doing free hand routing


my biggest concern is that i have found nokia phones lower quality construction to lead to lower prices , but they also don ' t last as long


for the person that uses the equipment every day , pay the extra and get a reliable safer unit


the scroll button is overly sensitive at times not sensitive enough at others


the software that comes with it is amazing and the online service that comes free is really very neat clean clear and well focused on over 95 of all photos taken by a beginner


my main complaints are that it should be deeper or wider as it doesn ' t even fit a smaller sized garbage bag


i wo n ' t go into the details here , as the online sites ( steve ' s digicams , previews ) go into great depth in their reviews , but i am very pleased with the features , the speed , the picture quality , the flexibility , the automation , and the functional conveniences this camera offers


1 a cell phone is to make calls , in other words , quality of reception and mic speaker are the most important , the 6600 has a relatively low volume speaker , you ' d have to press it hard against your ear to hear anything the other person is saying , unless the surroundings were completely quiet


i also like the fact that you can edit your mp3 titles , etc


i have never had this problem with any other software on my computer


i quickly got to use to the interface and can find any song playlist etc fast enough


who knows how many uses you ' ll get out of it before it craps out , but it probably will


it will read and play all cd audio disc


the depth adjustment was sloppy


this product is by far the best broadband router on the market , i bought this to replace one of those linksys instant wireless b routers , worked great for about a year


we constantly got windows virtual memory low error messages popping up foll wed by ridiculous slowdowns and or crashes


i love the touchpaper controls


i had the second one for less than two weeks when i noticed a rattling humming buzzing sound while music was played


even though you could get a cheap router these days , i ' m happy i spent a little extra for the linksys


for last one month my rebate status showing me that my rebate is approved and check is delivered but still i am waiting for check


it has an exterior design that combines form and function more elegantly than any point and shoot we ' ve ever tested


the photos in the address book are terribly scaled too they look as though they were built out of lego ' s


audio formats supports both mp3 , wma and yeah , wav too


durability not good first problem , if you haven ' t seen the news recently , the ipods are being recalled for battery problems and not lasting the advertised 18 months


the possibilities with auto , manual , and the very helpful scene mode , which offers 11 optimized situational settings like portrait , landscape , beach snow , sunset etc , are endless


last , i find the price a bit expensive for a product such as this


3 the remote capture and file viewer software bundled for photo capture is mind blowing


the only two minor issues i have with the camera are the lens cap ( it is not very snug and can come off too easily ) and the lens itself ( it partially obstructs the view through the viewfinder but not views through the lcd )


the only free help you get is in renewing your subscription !


i gave it only 3 stars due to the fact that the 1st one broke when i dropped it from a fairly short distance ( less than 2 ft )


i have owned some kind of creative audio product since 1993 and have never had to call tech support


about 10 of the time it can ' t find the device when i attach it to my pc


autofocus feels exactly like my film camera while scene and manual mode add a little fun challenge to it all


the catch with the canon g3 camera , ( and perhaps all of digital cameras ) is that its unresponsiveness will cause you to miss precious shots


smooth plunging ! ( it did stick a bit so i sprayed it w lubricant


enough people have reported that their headphone jack does n ' t work after a month of using the device to believe that creative has some inbuilt manufacturing or quality control problem


sure , it slows it down a little , but that ' s expected


then , my ad pop up blocking was completely gone


6 play game boy color games on it with go boy


as it stands now , the case is pretty useless unless you ' re packing the player up for travel , or if you load up all your songs beforehand


working for 10 hours with it on shuffle totally rocks ! !


the toggle button that is used to scroll is poorly designed and does not work well


there is no odor and extremely easy to use


( i knew this before hand , and it is not that bad ) there is no tiff format


this phone is one of the milestones in the history of the cellular phones


you can upgrade but then there ' s a certain level of trouble involved


as far as dealing with network access of other computers this router is pretty good given the price remember this router is the same one that was released right when the g standard was introduced to the market


about the only legitimate criticism from the online reviews is that fact that the lens really does obstruct the viewfinder


in addition it comes with a sleek and powerful headset


the only other problem was that security for the wireless connection


i ' ve dropped the device several times onto hard surfaces , and it still works flawlessly


3 no voice recorder this has also become an important and popular feature that the ipod unfortunately doesn ' t have


it is mindless to operate


but , i am quite unhappy with nokia at the moment


on the whole , i ' m quite happy with the purchase


3 months of use and it no longer recognizes anything


6 ) excellent battery life 14 hours beats ipod ' s


operation it ' s like bmw ' s i drive it does it ' s job , but has the most unintuitive , overly layered interface


all you have to do is click one button on the router configuration window and the router automatically senses the devices and configures the network


so yes , as with all software bundled with creative products , it was useless and ugly


i have had mine for a month now and have to say i have enjoyed it


there is not a word about satellite issues in either the user guide or the knowledge database at linksys com , and first tech support person i spoke with kept me on the phone for an hour , then gave me a web site address to consult that turned out to be the one i ' d already found during a search of my own


i purchased this router at a woodworking show after watching the ct people using it to demo their bits and was impressed how it performed


unfortunately , after loading 280 songs , all i get now is player either not connected or busy


well , it was nice while it lasted


we have had this product for over a month and yesterday it stopped working


the cool thing about the ad 2600 it plays alot of different file like mp3 , wma cds , jpeg and kodak picture cds , dvd ' s , dvd r ' s


lens cap is a really annoying


it works great


first , it failed whenever connecting to get updates


can recommend the hitachi in this ergonomic arena at the price quoted on amazon it is a bargain


after years with that carrier ' s expensive plans and horrible customer service , portability seemed heaven sent


bright , visible screen


however , this product performed well below my expectation


and with usb 2 0 , transferring music to your player is incredibly easy


the other annoyance with this that you have to remove every single remnant of previous version of norton systemworks before you installs this


n6600 supports midi , wav , arm , mp3 etc


2 despite most reviewers giving kudos to the zen for music quality , i experienced a flaw using eax


i don ' t have problems with the depth adjustment , the speed control , the collet ( i haven ' t tried the 1 4 sleeve yet )


i ' ve had this thing for less than a month , treated it quite well , never dropped it , and the headphone jack is all screwed up


the screen is quite big ( between all hand phone ) , but the just about 65000 color


even though i have the parental controls off it constantly starts updating them then freezes my computer


broadband hooked up to this wireless setup flies


some of the higher pitched rings are very easy to hear , but not easy to listen to


the service from t mobile is very good too


still has terrible software


it ' s very sleek looking with a very good front panel button layout , and it has a great feature set


now it will not load any disk or just says that there is no disk


accessing files by artist and album ( i mostly look things up by artist ) is easy and intuitive


it has a few inconveniences one is that the songs do not automatically play one after another like on a cd


creative media source is very easy to use once you get the hang of it , and the file transfers are fast


my other nit is that it didn ' t include at least some kind of carrying case for everything


i ' m very pleased with my zx so here ' s a quick review


i tried called apex cu st service , no help


hold button suprisingly not all mp3s have this this allows you to have all the buttons unusable , so that you don ' t accidently hit something in your pocket


the volume level of the phone is not all that good


the diaper champ is so simple that my toddler loves to put his own diapers in the diaper champ and flip over the handle


another problem i had with this camera was the zoom function


works perfectly with my netgear wireless paramecia


features really , there aren ' t any features , unless you call the games a feature


installation was as near automatic as can be


this phone is not suitable for fast people , maybe only for old people


bottom line is that at 160 , this is an absolute steal


c ) the scroll bar is a travesty enough said


its speakerphone option allows us to do long talks conveniently , lying on bed 38 phone lying by your pillow side


3 ) the lack of an intermediate resolution setting , as other reviewers have suggested , is a problem , but that problem is meaningless with a larger compactflash memory card


overall it is a great unit hopefully creative labs or some other vendor will soon come out with some accessories for it


the 6610 has the radio function which is utterly useless


i do n ' t always care for gracenotes ' genre listings but it allows easy editing of id3 tags


the support has been less than impressive , considering the cost


this has so many capabilities that you ' ll always have room for new technologies as they evolve


i did have to put a little work into renaming some duplicate file names to get all my music on my zen xtra but it was n ' t a big problem


the controls are on the side instead of on the front , which i like , because that ' s where my thumb is when i hold the thing !


the touch pad is over sensitive , and is adjustable to only slightly oversensitive


the device looks very cool , i think ( exactly as the photos promise ) , it ' s comfortable and lightweight in my jacket pocket , and the interface and controls are easy enough to navigate after a bit of practice


i did it and it was worse the second time around unbelievable


apple has definately fulfilled its reputation in making quality equipment , and surprisingly wasn ' t as expensive as its reputation normally holds


the construction of the player is the cheesiest i have ever seen the front panel refused to clip in correctly , leaving a noticeable gap between the panel and base of the player


1 the diaper champ doesn ' t require special refills that are expensive and hard to find !


the program brings more problems than a virus , albeit not as major problems , just not what you expect for 70 bucks


i recommend unreservedly the powershot g3 to any potential buyer looking for a first class digital camera at a reasonable price there is no better camera out there period !


i will also say that it takes a very long moment for the camera to do its digital image processing between the time you press the button and when the camera actually takes the picture


overall , i highly recommend this phone


the zoom lens unit feels fragile and it is worth buying a good camera bag if you are going put to carry it round a lot


the good small size durable seeming metal case easy to use visually distinctive good picture quality fast usb connection mostly intuitive operation really cool photostitch software that knits pictures together to give wide panoramas


even the instruction booklet is out of order


the depth adjustment and bit changing is much easier on the m12v than it was on my old router


the player hangs up on file transfer every once in a while , prompting a reset


i find the apex ad 2600 to be a great buy


because of this , i am disappointed and would not recommend this product


you don ' t need to cough up an extra couple bucks for a special edition to get black ! sound awesome ! batteries removable replaceable


right now , the creative software transfers subscription music files very slowly


20 gb or 40 gb ? the pros of the 40 gb comes with a dock station and double storage space ( 10 , 000 songs )


no memory stick slots although a rare feature , it would be nice to have extra storage , not that it needs it built in lithium battery a huge hassle to bring this back draining the battery once you get it helps , but removable replaceable ones are a lot more convenient


the voice quality is very good , and it gets great reception ( that is , in places where you get t mobile coverage , which is not that good see below )


there are a couple of quirks that were a bit annoying like having to actually press the power button before the tray will open ( my perv machine did it automatically ) , and the fact that the external display is too small and too faded to read from any significant distance


being a creative product the playback quality is unbeatable


the explorer program did shut down a couple times while i was renaming titles and changing genres but i did n ' t have to reboot the computer or anything , just open up explorer again


songs transfer lightning fast , and the two batteries that came in my box give me 24 hours of listen time


new cds almost always began skipping after a few plays


i have not yet used all the features , like the calendar , etc , but as a music player this little thing rocks


i ' m an advocate of nokia , but this phone and the following models ( 7610 ) , are seemingly a desperate trial at squeezing as much under engineered and experimental technologies in one sloppy phone


t mobile is trying very hard , and again they do have pretty good csr ' s


i don ' t know what ' s happened to norton , but 2004 is absolute garbage


the g3 looks like a work of art !


my old sony ericsson t610 has this feature


in auto mode anyone can use it as a point and shoot camera


regarding pc software support nokia suite does not work with some versions of xp as i tried to connect my phone via infrared port on my laptop


the manual does a fine job filling in any blanks that remain


it seemed as if we were emoting the pail everyday and it was in no way odorless


the storage capacity is great for me


the two limitations i knew i would have to deal with are the very long lag time before it focus locks ( even in bright light ) , and the unsatisfactory light quality of the built in flash


one it ' s size it ' s smaller than the ipod mini , and holds more music ( 5gb to the ipod mini ' s 4gbs )


some dvd ' s i rented would not play


when i played back a symphony orchestra you would swear that you were seated dead center in front of the orchestra it ' s that good !


the only thing i ' m concerned about is the quality longevity of the buttons on the thing


the speed control is well designed and it works perfectly


after 3 months , it stopped playing higher number scenes on dvds


after installation , which was very simple i downloaded any updated software from the creative website , before i downloaded any music


when taking pictures of people , however , it shows every flaw in the subject ' s skin


go for the champ


a couple of times a week it seems to cease access to the internet


i highly recommend it


i had to return the remote on this product because it appeared to be defective


if i had to do it over again , even with the cost savings of using any type of bag , i would go w the diaper genie


if i was pressed to find a negative aspect of the zen micro i would probably have to mention weak fm reception , but the building where i primarily use the micro seems to have a history of terrible radio reception anyway , so you can take that for what it ' s worth


unlike other reviewers , i have found the support to be responsive , almost no wait time on the phone , and relatively knowledgeable


the zoom function on this camera is so loud that sometimes you will be unable to use it if you find yourself in a situation where you must be quiet


a few of my work constituents owned the g2 and highly recommended the canon for picture quality


the only problem is the battery life


the supplied headphones are hands down better than the mediocre ipod buds


doesn ' t have alot of good games on it


speed is not a problem


i assumed they had exceptional service , but their reception in my area ( laos angele ' s ) is horrendous


it is a bit difficult to get the unit open ( the advice to take it slowly is sound ) , but now that our son is walking and exploring , i consider this a positive attribute !


when you look through the viewfinder ( not the lcd ) the bottom left corner of the picture ( about 15 ) is blocked by the lens


since batteries do run out on everything , this will also be a big money saver since ipods , rivers , rca , dell , all have built in batteries that need to be replaced by a technician ( apple charges 100 bones for the battery replacement )


i was impressed by this very inexpensive player for the first three hours , and then it died


i could take 1 2 passes and it still didn ' t skip a beat


the only other problem with this router that i have encountered is the plunge action will start to stick , then it needs to be cleaned and lubricated


i ' m sure i don ' t use it to the degree of some of the other purchasers , but i really like it !


minor complaints 1 ) even though the music is sorted via id3 tag on the player , the option to search for music contained in a folder is unavailable


start up is so quick


in addition , i do not think the battery lasts much more than eight to ten hours , and it can take four hours for a full charge


the zen was an impressive purchase and i would highly recommend it to anyone using napster


the scroll wheel , to be blunt , sucks


in summary , i love this camera and would whole heartedly recommend this to anyone wanting a high quality point and shoot camera in the medium price range


that said , i am disappointed in the plunging mechanism


the bottom line for me is that i am very happy with this product


cranking the master volume level up past the mark of the bar only leads to distortion and compromised sound quality


seems to work great


i was having intermittent problems with it losing connection


the extra gb is just a bonus


their customer ( www apex digital inc com ) service is very poor


4 looks great


norton internet security 2004 is one of the more buggy implementations


this item is exceptional i like the ease of use and it held the odor in great


the remote is okay , but i am not a fan of remotes with tiny buttons


setup in xp was instant and intuitive


the speed control is recessed too far in the housing and required a tool ( screwdriver or dowel rod ) to effect any speed change


zennx ' s replaceable battery was the deciding factor in my purchase of zennx over ipod


also , when i dial an 800 number like an airline , it will not allow me to use number keys to navigate the prerecorded menu


it ' s light weight enough to take with you everywhere , but powerful enough to get outstanding pix


controls are a bit awkward


especially the lcd is big and the camera quality is among the very best around


the only thing i do n ' t like about this is the cover does suck


the actual experience of using the ipod is magnificent


the tech support is worthless too


the mobile text messaging , chat , picture sharing etc other niceties , that you would enjoy


i read in consumer reports that apex is a reliable brand , but with my experience and reading the other reviews , i think i will be doing a little more homework before considering another apex product


you can be up to about 3 feet away from it and it will still work perfectly


the touch controls took a little getting used to but now i wouldn ' t change it for the scroll wheel


that ' s a rare and valuable feature


up , down , left , and right would have given me better control


at the end of the day , what i wanted was a large capacity player which allows me to easily play any album from my collection wherever i go , and the zen xtra ' s combination of price , capacity and features easily meets those criteria


the software is somewhat nice to look at , using it is not the easiest


the height adjustment works well not perfect


i get to chapter 34 and everything freezes !


the design is sleek and the color screen has good resolution


2 it is bulky and the small buttons on the sides are sloppy to use


the player is fast and sounds great , it also has many options like slowing or speeding up the music , or making it sound like you ' re hearing the music in a huge auditorium


only thing missing from creative is a cd burner


i have not been disappointed with my purchase


when i got it home , i discovered that the menu options for sending messages via either text or email simply were n ' t there


first i ' ll start off by saying that this players hardware is pretty good


customer service awful listen to this one , remember the battery statement i made earlier


this router works at 54mbps that ' s megabyte not kilobyte


once a depth is locked , it will jump off a little while working


fm transmitter ( belkin has a good one ) to use zen with your car stereo fm tuner latest find connected this baby to my 3800 audiophile audio system and it produced clean sound compared to ipod


the instant setup button in the front of the router messes up the network it is better to configure the router manually


well linksys was one of the original big players in the router industry


eax equalizer accentuates diminished quality of mp3 files


i began taking pics as soon as i got this camera and am amazed at the quality of photos i have took simply by using the auto mode


unit worked great for 3 weeks then video output failed


most of the other players i checked dont have user serviceable battery


only one disk played through to completion successfully


i love the storage in this thing


protective case completely useless as is since it obscures display window


simple click buttons , back buttons volume and display are very easy to read , access and use


i occasionally flip songs while working out as i accidently hit the pad even lightly ( yes i have it in maximum desensitized mode )


to my ears , a 160 kbps wma file sounds just as good as the source cd , and the zen xtra sounds just as good as a portable cd player


they last about 1 1 2 years until the problems start


service is great as far as i can tell , features work like a charm , ringtones are high quality if you buy them from t mobile and aim is great


audio on video also lacking


the wrt54g plus the hga7t is a perfect solution if you need wireless coverage in a wider area or for a hard walled house as was my case


however , i am very disappointed with this product and with symantec


but , for the money it is a good machine


what disappoints me the most that a software like that is not cheap gets zero support form symantec , if you want support , they ' ll charge you a fee !


the hitachi is made in malaya , and looked cheap compared with the makita , which is made in the usa


the electronic speed control is not doing it ' s job and the router begins to speed up and slow down at will


wish i could give it 4 1 2 stars


one also exhibited extremely slow speed when going to the menu


the 4300 comes with excellent easy to install software i use it on xp and win98 without problem , battery charger , usb and video cable


but , the creative zen micro is plagued by a serious , serious stupid and elemenatary design flaw , and i ' m going to tell you what it is but first , two more things about this piece of garbage that ' s so great and could ' ve made it a potential ipod killer


less than a cheap cordless drill or a laminate trimmer


long reboots due to norton taking forever to boot


for the price and features it is really good


even the pdf manual that comes with it is pretty vague for someone not familiar with mac settings , etc


the phone also sports an image gallery ( with option camera attachment ) , a calendar organizer , alarm clock with snooze , fm radio ( way cool , even if it is just through an ear peice ) , games , java applications and gprs high speed internet connection


only one complaint about the speakerphone , you can only activate the speakerphone feature once the person you are calling answers the phone , not while it is ringing


the prints are beautiful !


so loud , really , that it does n ' t work terribly well as a silent ringer option


the new organizer software that ships with the nomad zen xtra could n ' t be easier to use


sure it had all the features , but when i tried to shoot a girl ' s basketball game it just wan ' t up to the task


the games are decent , but u only get 2 to start off with


it ' s too bad , though , that !


downloads are a snap and quick


the sound level is also not as high as i would have expected


i simply love this feature


in that model the hard drive just died one morning before my class


audio is excellent


does not provide enough volume when connected to larger headphones , or external receivers ( car radio )


the unit itself its well structured , with just the buttons you need and none you do n ' t


3 ) folders can not be created for the audio files


very cool features great camera with zoom cool quality pictures great ringtones bluetooth feature is great


the battery life can ' t be very long let ' s not be greedy


the accessories that come with the player are great


the only knock i have is that the flash is underpowered


the fact that this model would play jpeg slide shows was a big plus for me as a visual artist , and i discovered by accident ( it is not mentioned anywhere in the literature ) that it will play mpeg1 files on a regular cd r data disk without vcd formatting


no option for caller id pictures or individualized ringtones


the sound is excellent as one would suspect from a creative product


i called apex ' s support number numerous times but it just kept ringing


so once i worked out the problem with the software this mp3 player is worth the money it cost


i only have one complaint , and that is the 8mb card included


but , i would definately recommend this phone


diapers can get stuck when turned around if you don ' t tightly wrap them first


the size is tiny , which i love


i find the lack of entertaining games on this phone quite disturbing


overall , a good buy for the price


the karma doesn ' t look as sexy but it ' s interface is very efficiently designed


the same 4mp chip from the 4500 camera , plus a 3x zoom with the ability to expand upon that with extenders , great closeup mode , long lasting rechargable battery , etc etc


the scroll bar is a bit of a pain


2 it can be operated with one hand leaving a hand on your baby on the changing table


the plunge action isn ' t smooth unless you make it so


i love my dark blue zen micro and would definitely recommend it


i find it a bit difficult to manage the very tiny buttons and impossible to read the icons without my reading glasses on


the flash is surprisingly good and even the video quality is excellent


but after 10 days , the sound worked , but the video quit working


no smell , easy to use with one hand free , and best of all it uses regular tall kitchen garbage bags so you don ' t get suckered in to using only the bags made for the pail that are impossible to find !


there are some highs to the 2004 edition , but mostly lows


the hands free speakerphone is quite powerful ( like the motorola phone , i used to own )


i tried to play the song three times , with no success


from the speakerphone that can be used up to 15 feet away with clarity , to the downloadable poly graphic meg atones that adds a personal touch to this nifty phone


i am an advanced computer user , so i can not even imagine how a new or novice user would ever get this terrible program to work !


this thing is great , i like to use it to pick up tough stains on my counter top and also to listen to my old 8 track records


this has happened with several different dvd ' s and occasionally if we keep trying something , it will work when it did not work one time before


this phone has a nice blend of features without going overboard


this is due to the unusually slow autofocus system


but like i stated , its better then a trash can , but i ' m not sure if its better then the diaper genie


as mentioned in other reviews the headphones are useless and need to be replaced right away !


have had the player since xmas ' s and love it !


6 the zen nx battery requires the ac adapter to recharge it does not charge by usb cable this is not tragic , but usb recharging would be a convenient ( additional ) choice


all my questions or problems have been quickly and satisfactorily resolved


his is what i get for my 200 on this mp3 player ?


have not had any issues with the headphones or fragility


i dont especially like how music files are unstructured basically they are just dumped into one folder with no organization , like you might have in windows explorer folders and sub folders


solid , high quality construction


my friend has an ipod , and although the sound quality probably won ' t meet most audiophile standards , the product itself is better than anything creative has made


the scroll wheel is easy to use and works great for me , however many have complained that the wheel is cumbersome and difficult to operate


the top that covered the battery kept poping off without much of a touch near the bottom latch


in all fairness , customer reps are very nice , and they ( most of them ) try hard to answer your questions


first , the player did not allow me to access the menus of dvds


well backlit keypad


only slight negatives i ' ve had so far is that i haven ' t been able to get it to accept any of my wav files yet


it was so easy my toddler would dispose of her on diapers


the only thing missing is an option to adjust the balance


despite this minor disappointment , i highly recommend the canon g3 anyone who is serious about digital photography


i have had this player for 3 months and have been able to see a total of 6 dvd ' s , after the frustration and aggravation of getting the player to do it ' s job


another reason i got it is because you can put wma files on it


the one huge disappointment is that the phones manufactured for t mobile lack many of the menus and functions that a nokia straight from the manufacturer should have


gets nice sound too


there is absolutely nothing useful at the symantec norton site


oh and file transfers are fast easy


my biggest complaint is the battery life or lack there of


most of them are already switched to apex and they are happy


the quick sync is n ' t any good because it either needs to be configured properly or just is n ' t very useful


the software with the ipod includes itunes , which allows you to play the music on your computer , rip cds onto your computer , and move your music from the computer to the ipod


deficiencies with zennx are easily overcome with 3rd party earphones ( 20 ) and software ( 25 )


believe me when i say this i have used and fingered all nokia phones and the 6600 has the best keypad


i built my own router table with a tilt up top made a hand crank to replace the height adjustment knob these two things make it easy to change out raise or lower the bits


their products have been great and have saved my bacon on numerous occasions


first of all , i bought this dvd as a christmas present for my girlfriend and i am somewhat disappointed


my dad also has an apex tv and it was another great value for the money


i also own a canon digital rebel and i agree that the advanced controls on the sd500 are not as robust , but overall picture quality goes head to head with the digital rebel


i have shopped with amazon before and have been very happy with their performance thus far


also , the lens cap design is flawed


overall it is the best camera on the market


i ' ve have many nokia ' s and while this is the best for features , it ' s the worst as a phone


manual functionality is excellent , downloading pictures is quick and a breeze , and the quality is astounding


1 no direct firewire to the camera


and also , since it is teri band and since it uses sim card , you can just use it in europe and many other parts of the world , wherever gsm exists


to install that version you have to uninstall from the window registery anything called symantec or nortron , also from the common files in the program folder the symantec folder has to be deleted


creative was defiantly giving the ipod a run for their money with this device


so now it still plays everything , you just can ' t see it !


sound i ' m no audiophile but i was amazed by the clarity the player had , it was much better than the sound card on my computer and louder too


it seems like you need to park yourself right next to a radio tower for the micro to pull in a strong sound


ive seen em all , the archos , dell , ipods , everything good price and great sound makes this one the best in my opinion


finally , making playlists from the computer can be complicated because the tracks are listed individually , and are organized by cd , which are not listed but are organized in alphabetical order


i think their antivirus software was one of , if not the best , on the


but the major problem i had was with the software


not only is it the perfect size ( not too small , not too large ) , it also has all the features a high tech phone user would want


sometimes a suite is not a good deal and all you get is a bundle of headaches


this is the best camera you can have for digital images if you want to


the karma is only 5 more , it ' s small , had a 20 gig drive and supports more formats including gog


it is amazing that the battery lasts so long when the phone is so small and light


pc cable is too expensive 50 for a usb cable ?


for the price i think this is a remarkably fun mp3 player


sometimes , it needs few minutes to open an application


the camera is as easy to use as a point and shoot , and with instant review on the lcd screen , you can retake any flubbed shots on the spot


it is more than 90 days and it does not show the picture no matter what i do


has the click wheel and the ability to scan through thousands of songs and organizes them great


the volume key can be hard to press , but i think this may be by design rather than a flaw , perhaps to keep you from pressing it accidentally when you are in a call


i did not have any of the installation problems that people highlighted here


at first i thought it is only a isolated incident , but i was proven wrong when the player would not read my alias dvds as well


all the buttons necessary lil ' gadgets are on the sides of the player which is nice for when you are holding it in the palm of your hand


( on here of course ) also , a couple dvd ' s would n ' t play and they were new ones !


i bought this camera two days ago , and i ' m very pleased to say that it has been worth the money


the scroll button is sort of annoying to push a nice button would be nicer but eh , not a big deal


very small


when we tried to hook up the first one , it was broken the motor would not eject discs or close the door


original review december 2004 i ' m sorry to read about other people having problems with their zen micro , but mine has worked great !


i ' m currently using a sony vaio s 150 ( which i bought at the end of this past august ) , and it takes about five minutes just to boot the system in fact , i ' ve taken to just hibernating , rather than shutting down completely


the auto mode is good enough for most shots but the 4300 also boasts 12 versatile scene modes as well as a manual mode though i admit i have n ' t played with it too much on manual


speaker volume is loud and clear but it sacrifices the battery life


so far i have used all of the above mentioned features , and find them well designed , and easy to understand


software the software is crap


another good thing is that this camera seems to introduce much less noise in dark places than others i ' ve seen


creative are the sound people for computers , i can ' t understand why eax would introduce static


and we still love it !


you must keep double checking depths


i guess the two antennae help with that besides making it look cooler


only problem is that is a bit heavy


ripping the songs , even with my 1 1 usb connection is still very quick , and the quality is very good


i registered for this item because of the good reviews it got , however i was not impressed


the music is easy to get to ( all of the menus are easy to understand despite what alot of i pod owners say ) and if you know how to search for an artist by name online , then you can do the same with the zen


other cameras taking pics of the same subjects turn out looking much better


norton ' s memory usage on systems with 512 mb is very low


the only two things that stop me from giving it 5 stars are the ho hum software that comes with the system , and the traveling case it comes with


it has a nice color screen


one little minor flaw with this camera is that the lens is visible in the viewfinder , but does not detract from the image at all


speakerphone loud and clear has some nice extra features like currency converter and a stopwatch


first , let me say that i got the 20gb ipod for christmas , and i most likely would not have spent the 300 myself


the new canon s300 is 33 larger and 26 heavier than the s100


downside it takes a long time to start up


2 battery life is over 4 5 hours , compared to about 2 5 hours for the g2 or the 2 hours for most nikon ' s


like other reviewers , installation was hell


but if you want a great deal and a great mp3 player , get the nomad


this is extremely lame


i thought the fm radio would not see much use with so many tracks available to me , but its great for tuning in to tv programs at the gym while on the treadmill , concerts and programs being simulcast , npr , and on and on


d ) software is another great misfortune hard to operate , crashes frequently , screwed my music library up , doesnt work with mp4s , the list goes on and on


the player has firmware , which will remove the glitches , if there are any


it ain ' t cutting edge ( no pun intended ) state of the art with all the latest bells whistles it definitely ain ' t pretty


this camera has none of these flaws and will be something you ' ll use all the time


the battery life of this phone is at most 2 days and at least one day at excessive use


the software that comes with the digital elph is very nice and intuitive


the price is more


but canon never fails to amaze


5 ) this apex model 2600 will not work with my universal remote control


this is my first mp3 player and i am so impressed with what such a small device can do


the customer service dept did not list a toll free number and it was a real hassle to get through on their regular line


there are instructions to encrypt your personal wireless network so no one else can end up hogging stealing your bandwidth


this phone doesn ' t include phone card calling


although canon ' s batteries are proprietary , they last a really long time , recharge fairly quickly in the camera , plus if you want ' more power ' , you can even find a knockoff charger and spare batteries right here on amazon


you hit the message button on the front and it takes a matter of seconds to bring up the menu


the white led backlit lcd is very bright and crisp , even in sunlight , and relatively easy on the battery


not compatible with audible com books


nokia makes great phones , and this one is the cream of the crop


there technical service isn ' t helpful either they just read what ' s on their website and charge you 50 ( toll fees ) to do it


8 perhaps inspired by the canon ' s factory white correction settings ( which were found lacking and had to be altered by a user before the white edges from buildings etc could be cleaned out ) , the g3 has much sharper white offsets


it is slightly larger than an ipod , no doubt about it


it also lets you remove songs from the play order


i ' m giving it 1 star because as compared to other nokia phones , its a 1 , compared to other blunders by other companies ( such a samsung and motorola ) it might be good but if you ' re getting a nokia , don ' t get this one


no more banner ads , pop ups , and the reliable antivirus


even just turning the camera on will move the lens a little , resulting in a noisy start up


getting files onto it is quick and painless


video output stopped working


the product has worked perfectly for me on my xp


it has an equalizer , but the iriver h10 20gb has a lot more presets than the ipod


i ' ve had almost no problems with the firmware ( ie , lock ups , shut downs etc ) , but i have kept the player up to date


2 you still have to clean the thing ! !


overall i like it


also , diapers and wipes get stuck in the grove below the piston


ok , not quite everything but this camera is so compact that you will have it by your side when you need it


i am glad that i do not work for norton


on the t mobile service i was able to take pics as we drove across i 70 and email them to family friends once we reached a t mobile tone ( usually a major city )


its far more difficult to select songs and has no easy to use on the fly playlist creation such as the new ipod not to mention it does n ' t since with contact lists , phone numbers , address books , etc like the ipod ( which eliminated my need for any kind of palm device )


overall , i ' ve been very impressed with the player


if you ' ve been listening to cd ' s in your car for awhile , dealing with the drop off in sound quality may take some getting used to


2 ) the champ uses regular store bags


on the plus side it ' s packed with features , including bluetooth that works fine it ' s really a tiny computer that is also a phone and that ' s the negative


i was able to take great photos of the 4th of july fire works , and got some amazing shots of the kids playing with sparklers


other things that i miss are voice activated dialing and a standard 2 5 mm headset jack


using supplied s w , you can transfer all addresses from a different nokia phone into it


after repeal cleaning and re cleaning , it still stuck after using it for a little while


and the biggest plus is that you don ' t have to buy any expensive refills


i was willing to live with the larger size ( inconvenient on the road ) but the durability was a big zero


t simply the best player on the market for a really low price , so why look anywhere else ?


when you dial a number , you ' ll need to check the screen to see that the number entered is correct


the size of the camera is perfect


you even can not navigate by genre artist album since under genre you get just all tracks in that genre , no other division


it is nokia and thus easy to access the menu options


unit took forever since the beginning to recognize and play discs


it ' s also easy to empty out


also , for those that complain that the diaper champ isn ' t as effective as time passes , keep the following in mind as babies get older , their diets changes ( aka solid foods ! ) and so does the smell of their diapers !


all reviews i ' ve seen seem to indicate that the creative mp3 jukeboxes have the best sound quality of these 2nd generation jukebox ed ( ipod , archos , dell , samsung )


limitations not a lot of original accessories like the ipod


software is easy to use ( although red hat software is better , but costs money )


it ' s perfect for those who aren ' t planning on storing tons of music


if you need a wireless router get it get it get it works really good


the digital zoom is crap


i think , apex is the best dvd player you can get for the price


unfortunately , creative offered scant few pages of instruction , which meant that i was on own from the outset


if anyone is thinking of getting an ipod mini , forget it and go with this player


it does tend to run quite hot and should be given lots of room for air circulation


there are lots of interesting features included such as eax , and customization


so , don ' t buy this or upgrade


7 ) chic look and good build the player comes in a compact form with a metal face plate


i ' ve since replaced it with a pair of black sennheisers not only are the packaged earbuds pretty uncomfortable , but are too similar to ipod ' s and can target ipod thieves here in nyc


thank you apple ! you make fabulous products


of course , if you try to reach symantec customer service you get useless automated systems unless you want to pay 30 per incident


the screen is large , defined , and easy to read , and the silver unit is naturally cool


p s the remote control does seem to get confused at times and doesnt respond but it may be just operator error ?


no down time , great signal strength


customer service and technical support are overloaded and non responsive tells you about the quality of their products and their willingness to stand behind them


it has plenty of power


this simple nuance was too much for nokia , and they still refuse to acknowledge the fact that their technician could have broken the phone or repair the phone for free


frankly , i think this is one of the niftiest pieces of hardware i ' ve ever used


the hole to put the diaper in needs to be larger as i am now using medium diapers ( i have a 3 month old ) and they ' re on the brink of being too large to fit no matter how compact i make then and how un soiled they are


it is heavy enough to make it stable , but not too heavy to preclude hand use


while light , it will not easily go in small handbags or pockets


otherwise , this is a great alternative mp3 player for those of use who don ' t want to worship the mighty all powerful apple


negative impossibly tiny and difficult to operate , barely visible , power button


if you haven ' t noticed , they designed it so that you can also take vertical pictures when you do the self timer


back in may 2004 , when i first reviewed this , it had taken me over 16 hours to install and run


its well made and user friendly


this model does have the traditional key arrangement , it ' s just that they are really close to one another , and have unconventional shapes , so it takes a big getting used to for someone like me with big hands


for those mac osx users out there , isync works fairly well


i had never liked the idea of the diaper genie because of the refills


works pretty well


if you have no previous version of nortron security on your system , or nortron antivirus , the installation will go fine , otherwise dig in and in to do a major registery clean up ! the old programs will leave a trace that will mess up the new installation , even if you uninstalled the old programs perfectly


it fits comfortably in my shirt pocket and while very well designed , doesn ' t look to ostentatious while i ' m walking around with it


in short nokia themselves don ' t know that this phone doesn ' t work with the palm , and if you don ' t heed my advice you will spend hours with technicians around the globe reading from scripts , chiding you in broken english for not following their directions exactly


it holds almost a week ' s worth of diapers , and you don ' t need expensive refills any kitchen bags work


the only problem i have with the buttons is that the power button and print share button don ' t have a nice click


the hot shoe flash attachment allowed me to buy and use a sophisticated flash unit


what really made this a mediocre mp3 player for me was the software


simple and it works !


the case is strong and stylish , but unfortunately lacks a window ( now a big deal )


it is small , unlike my canon slr , so it easily fits in my pocket


my only complaint and the reason i gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the on camera controls aren ' t as intuitive as they should be


9 ) wake up feature that allows you to set up the player to wake up and play selected music at a specified time


the keys are close together , and the layout is a bit funky in relation to standard rectangular layout keypads , but it ' s not too weird


the ipod package comes with everything you need , the ac adaptor , firewire cable ( quicker than usb , but slower than usb 2 which it also gives ) , those snazzy and power full headphones , and of course the player


i have windows xp pro and when installing the enclosed software i did receive a message that there was a problem installing the driver


drops and strong signals even from the backyard


the only main drawback is the fact that the voice dialing system is kinda picky


this is a quality product , not to be confused with the cheap junk that hitachi gets manufactured in china


lens visible in optical viewfinder


i can keep one hand on my baby and dump the diaper at the same time , it is that simple


battery compared to the other players on the market , the ipod has one of the worst batteries around


i did n ' t think i would find this quality and ease of use for under 1500 i ' m thrilled with my purchase !


i tried disabling the various components provided with this product , paring it all the way back to anti virus only service and saw no improvement


i highly recommend this camera to anybody looking for a compact camera that can take good quality pictures


the little jog dial seems weak and quirky and i hope i do n ' t figure out a way to break it


the setup was very easy


the downside being that the tito can only connect at 802 11b speeds and not 802 11g


the handles make it very comfortable to use and i experience little vibration


i sent it back , as i think that the speed control is either poorly designed or defective


it has a cardboard slip cover with a nice layered box casing inside


the zooming lever is shaky , i hope it does not operate mechanically , otherwise you ' ll feel uneasy


the build quality feels solid , it does n ' t shake or whine while playing discs , and the picture and sound is top notch ( both dots and dd5 1 sound good )


and man i had to work to put my chinese songs on the player because i had the actual chinese names of the songs as the title


as far as linksys goes , i have used several of their products and they seem to hold up well no problems


no way to contact their customer service


the battery life is ok , but can be somewhat short when working a lot with the monitor on


3 ) with mediasource being so easy , i found no use for the bundled nomad explorer software


great sound , very long battery life ( i routinely play it for 12 hours ) , very fast recharges rate , removable battery , storage size , nice screen , firmware updates , and great price


not a killer problem , but not well done , either


bought the 30gb xtra a couple of weeks ago , and so far it has been excellent


another problem is that the latest 2 0 firmware upgrade moves you into windows media player 10 which seems to be very , very slow for downloads charging 2


my brother had an old linksys b band wireless router in his home and it was like magic


the adjustment knob seemed ok , but when lowering the router , i have to practically pull it down while turning the knob


the power , low noise operation , and speed control makes up for the problems i have experienced


the volume


i have about 6 gb used on my ipod so far ( well over 1000 songs ) , and as far as i can tell , all of them play at near cd quality


it does n ' t have firewire , not a real complaint since most windows users do n ' t generally have firewire cards themselves


i am able to carry it close to my body , in places where other phones are not so easily concealed


) button sensitivity even reduced to the lowest sensitivity setting , the buttons are far two sensitive , really takes some getting use to , and even then , it is still too sensitive


great product , easy to use , economical , effective , absolutly fabulous


the sliding latch is does not stay in place


the leather case it comes with is pretty nice , similar to a pda style case and does hold and protect it perfectly


the sound is not loud enough when i play back the video clips on the camera


it ' s slightly lighter than the g2 and packed with even more features


however after just one month my headphone jack was broken as a result of normal , every day use


i was an early purchaser of the wrt54g , and had a few problems with stability and speed finally , the march 03 firmware update has resulted in an excellent product !


its quiet


smooth plunging mechanism


from day one , we ' ve had hangups , crashes , glitches , continual reboots , long shutdowns due to cc app exe program running which is a norton program


also , i have not had trouble reading svcds that i created and br mp3 cds ( my old apex ad 1200 had trouble with these )


the screen is easily scratched but if you have the warranty you should be able to swap it out


the router works fine for both wired and wireless


i have excellent hearing but the volume level on this phone is especially quiet


one other plus is that napster now supports this device via their software


loading cds was somewhat time consuming , but i think it would have been with the ipod as well


of course , i was hesitant given the price , but i ' ve been extremely impressed since receiving it , and bought a second one as a christmas present for my parents


as of october , 2004 , these products are not working and i ' m ready to demand a refund from symantec


track , name , artist , album and genre is automatically retrieved via internet labeled , and properly categorized into the zen


configuring it for a home network was almost impossible


it still fits in the palm of your hand , and it ' s not heavy


well , within 45 days the video output quit working ( both rca optic )


all in all , i believe this is arguably the best non slr digital camera on the market


the main problem with the nomad jukebox zen xtra 30 gb is the software


slow syncro flash , macro infinity mode , etc


i have noticed an odor ( one the i expected ! ) when unloading the diaper champ but at least you don ' t smell anything every time you use it


this camera has a cool stitch pictures feature , to find out more just log on to canon ' s website


b ) the screen is hard to read the cover hides it an already annoying poorly lit display


when you learn how to change some settings , you can make the quality even better


2 the camera is so small that when you attach some lenses i have the 19mm wide angle wc e 68 , the optical viewfinder is partially obscured


your choice of ten colors in a beatiful package


the controls are much inferior to the simple ipod ones


why bother when it works perfectly with media player 10 ?


the back of the ipod is in a chrome finish , and this surface is prone to scratches


it was easy to assemble , and the diapers fit perfectly into the little nook before they make their way into the pail portion


i also did n ' t like the way it displayed information way down into the screen when you are in zoom mode


the built in fm radio is excellent for people traveling by public transport


the installation software cd crashed repeatedly


i found best results in most situation with manual center auto focus , manual mode , iso 100 ( shorter aperture time , so more often sharper images as with iso 50 ) , auto white balance ( auto white balance is better than of the other canon cameras i have and they already do very well )


only 1 problem , no accessories yet


sunset feature takes incredible pics in the morning , and the evening !


you can set the optical zoom before shooting and than while shooting video adjust a digital zoom in and out however due to the cameras light weight camera shake is a problem to contend with


the price performance looked just right


second might be a problem i might have with my pc but not too sure , when the player is connected on the usb and i start playing on it and also using the windows explorer , it sometimes pauses by itself and tries to synchronize with the pc during play , which is a bit irritating


overall i like the unit


one more thing , the default ringtones that come with the phone are horrible


the included earpiece is very comfortable and easy to use


rather than creating a directory for bookmarks to be found in one area , the user must actually find the track where the bookmark was made


i ' ve had this phone for almost a year now and it has been nothing but great to use


if you hold down the scroll wheel too long ( which is common if you have a lot of songs to sort through ) , it will get stuck rapidly going through the songs and wo n ' t stop until several seconds after you let your finger off of it


nikon 4300 , i feel , is the best camera out there for the features and price


some movies it played yesterday , it wo n ' t play today


overall , the micro is a solid device and i haven ' t fell into a problem with it yet knocks on wood


the only problem i have is with the handle you use to open the top compartment


the phones are awesome


finally you will read a post somewhere that all codes are useless for the apex 2600


the m12v has been great


i am bored with the silver look


this is a perfect blend to accomplish both tasks


it did also seem to have a strong new electronics smell for some time


the great and versatile ipod


after 10 years , i now downloaded mccaffee ' s product after calling their support they answered quickly , and for free , and were very helpful


the hitachi m12v is a dream to work with , smooth starts , adjustable speeds , micro adjustable depth , and plenty of power to spare


they have the worst service of any of the major companies


the loud speaker function on the 6610 is great because you do n ' t need to put your phone right next to your ear to talk


unfortunately , linksys does not write the best documentation


but at least you re starting with the most photo realistic images ive ever seen from a camera


the only downside i have found with this phone is that it is a bit slow to react , meaning when i push the contacts button , it takes a while to load , this is true for almost all the menus and programs on the phone


i thought i ' d have to buy a set of headphones to use with it , but the included earbuds work quite well


after consulting with creative ' s customer support , they determined that the hard drive was broken and the only recourse was to send it in for repair , which would cost me 40 , since it ' s past the 90 day warranty ( pretty short warranty )


this radio receives fairly decent reception but not nearly as good as a normal radio , but as long as the stations are coming in clearly the phone ' s radio should work perfectly


purchased the ad 2600 about a month ago and have had numerous problems with it


the scene mode works well for the remainder of shots that are not going to be in a regular setting


my fingers are kind of stubby so it took a while to learn how to hit a key without hitting the adjacent ones


large easy readable screen


all in all , trying to save some money on this player resulted in me shelling a great deal more when i purchased a much nicer dvd vcr combo player to make up for blazing creepiness of this very embarassing gift


if you want a sharp looking , fast digital camera and you don ' t need or want manual controls , then this is the camera for you !


so , you might inquire , why don ' t they make it a first priority to carefully , simply explain how download music from your music library to their device ? ? ? this seems academic to me


perfect size ! beats the competition by leaps and bounds


my jpeg pictures are viewable ( not so sharp and vivid ) on my 27 screen but seem not as clear as when i view them on my 17 monitor


3 ) the joystick design they are using on the new nokias gives you a great degree of control


although the sound quality is good , it takes more than good sound on a portable mp 3 player to result in a good product


while i am not happy that a solid state device died after such a short period of time , my quick review of this product space did not yield any other brands that seem much better than linksys


first off , the battery


the player is intuitive and outputs great sound quality


too bad they don ' t mention anything about how the cd can ' t be used with a mac


by no means do you have to be a tech junkie to be able to install it , just be able to put a cd in the computer and it tells you what to do


the outlook syn ch only works for non recurring appointments , which personally is very annoying to me but probably wont be to most people


i researched and researched between getting the canon s20 or the canon s100 , and of course i got the latter !


the number buttons are crammed into a 3x4cm area , the fonts are small , the interface is too convoluted and frustrating , it ' s not that customizable as well


overall build quality , good macros results , impressive video quality , good pictures with flash ( good colours , sharp results ) , excellent auto white balance


start up , log off , log on everything became very slow


its ability to record radio is useful as well , but would have been more so if it could be preset


it was immediately noticeable that nis slows down my computer ( pent4 , 256 ram )


battery life is exceptional , lasting longer than the 8 10 hours that seem reasonable with most music players on the market


being a past norton customer , i consider this to be a slap to my face


the sound is very nice


unfortunately , the player would not read any of my region one dvds even though they were not damaged in any way


very good balance in the hands and lighter than most 3 1 4 hp models


wo n ' t play a lot of discs


the interface works great


i give it 4 stars only because the installation process or rather problems that may surface during the installation process can be frustrating to the average computer user


i did n ' t read a thing about how to operate it it was just intuitive


fm receiver it has none


whichever it may be , i ' m happy i ' ve made this purchase


one drop from a pocket or desktop , and it ' d be a goner


to keep it short , this is cheaper , and in my opinion a better choice than an ipod


the remote is flimsy feeling and awkward to use


the photo quality is amazing and i know i ' m going to have fun with all the features


i ' ve read about the issues with the scroll bar , but they must have taken care of that now


with the champ all you had to do was drop the dirty diaper into the opening and flip the lid


the one and most major thing that i was disappointed with , in this player , is the battery life


look at the size of it !


since zen does not have an external antenna it has some problems catching weak signals but it works


the smooth operation variable speed and a set of good masada bits will provide just the right combination for great predictable results


each of the 4 lasted less than six months


the total price with delivery ( free shipping ) was 135 !


i say adequate because it was enough to get wireless working , but nowhere near enough instruction to do the proper configuration job that i could have done if so !


not only is it much more cost effective ( you can use regular trash bags rather than refills at 5 a pop ) , it is easier to use and clean , and has a larger capacity


apex does n ' t answer the phone


i ' ve taken about hundred shot with the canon , in varying lighting situations , all in auto mode , and not one blurry picture ! ! !


4 my idea was that it was an all in one , and that theory once again proves wrong , this phone ex cells at nothing , less than average in everything , if you seriously need any of the other than phone functionalists , you ' ll be disappointed if you have lots of money and bought it for the love of gadgets then fine but don ' t expect to get much done


the quality is superb


same story as everybody else when trying to get service from apex nothing


i have a tendency to do quite a bit of research before i drop money on a tool and everyone i talked to loved this router


unfortunately i bought a player because the ps2 could n ' t play all my dvds , and now the player can ' t play everything


enjoy


i ' ve tried leaving questions on their site never to have them answered


the pictures are beautiful , and the camera is so small you can carry it anywhere


unfortunately , the touch pad issues non intuitive and poor instruction guide killed it


when the router is working it is a very nice machine for the money


i purchased two of these players for christmas gifts , and both were bad


the zen offered a great alternative


only then did i learn the truth this phone does not work with palm pdas !


you can create playlists , drag drop songs and playlists to your player , and rip directly from cd to your player


also , their t zones , although cheap ( 4 99 mo ) never works


with my sennheiser 497 headphones , the volume is loud enough at 12 ( max is 20 )


while the software may not be as easy as i tunes , it is not difficult to use by any stretch


i am happy with the fact that i can use any bag in there and dont ' have to pay out the nose for replacements


there are 2 things that need fixing first is the battery life it will run for 6 hrs without problems with medium usage of the buttons


1 ) price gb of storage


i am seriously considering purchasing another wrench and just not using the sliding wrench which comes on the router


i expected the 12x digital zoom to be grainy , but on full size high to fine quality , the zoomed images are quite impressive


the phone has a few minor inconveniences , but only because it lacks those features , bluetooth and high spend internet , but there are very few problems with things that you expected this phone to do


if you bring up an album , but absolutely hate some of the tracks , the zen will allow you to delete that from the playing order


i ' m convinced by my own experience and that of many other people who have posted here who have had the same experience that the product is defectively designed , and will not hold up to normal use


i love having the option to manually control the f stop , shutter speed and even focus


this thing is trash


so far it has been very durable ( other than the little pads on the earbuds ) , but those aren ' t really necessary as i find them comfortable on their own


i try navigating using the player ' s built in menu , and it still would n ' t work !


have had the nokia 6600 for a year now and am generally very happy with it and with t mobile


to make matters work , there is no manual override to overcome this problem


although it has chubby hips , the device isn ' t really so big


first of all , i ' ve never been big on earbuds they ' re just not that comfortable


i love the camera


the headphone jack gave out after only a couple weeks of use , and the stock earbuds were replaced same day with some high end sony ' s i ' d been having


without a doubt the finest looking apex dvd player that i ' ve seen


i had tried to uninstall norton internet security a few weeks ago , and it wouldn ' t let me do that either


it gives you the most bang for your buck , period


the menu options are uncreative , as you can ' t see a full screen of menu items to pick from you have to scroll up and down to find what you ' re looking for ( yes , this is minor , but not when you ' re trying to keep your eye on the road ! )


i chose this one because from what i read , it was the best deal for the money


software is absolutely terrible


so reliability is the winner here for the ipod


if there were any complaints i have , they are marginal , but one is apples ' proprietary set up for music files , their incompatibility with other music services ( i e napster ) is down right wrong


even did while daughter sleep and no noise !


however , it is much bigger , bulkier , and heavier than my other router and i would not like to use it freehand ( i keep it mounted in a table )


the hitachi has plenty of power , runs smooth , and cuts effortlessly through maple ( with freud bits ! )


with the plunge lift all my bit changing has been done above the table , although i still have to reach below the table to operate the spindle lock ( and , of course , the speed and on off controls )


after nearly 800 pictures i have found that this nikon takes incredible pictures


for one thing , the diapers always get jammed in it


reviews for sound quality are generally ( but not universally ) positive


unfortunately , this digital moment capturing device called the g3 sometimes captures the moment after the one you wanted


i was looking for a phone which synced with mac osx using bluetooth , had decent battery life , could check email , had good reception , nice screen size and was durable ( i break often break small gadgets )


yes , there is a belt clip , but that doesn ' t hold the extra battery and usb cable


apart from speed , the signal is consistent and works without interruptions , etc


poor visibility on the keys


its stable , so a curious toddler can ' t easily tip it over


if you currently own the 2003 version , and are looking to upgrade to the 2004 version , don ' t


the nokia 6610 is a relatively new phone , and what a great phone it is


booting up my computer took forever ! ! !


the phone is sturdy


sometimes when you press buttons , the menu appears after a second or two


also , it takes any kitchen sized trash bag , so there is no special bag to stock


i have not even used my new dvd player and already i am disappointed !


awesome for the newbie , though i personally like to fasten every bolt myself


i ' ve been bothered by blown out highlights on the s330 , and the g3 seems to do only slightly better


remember , this phone uses an operating system symbian and it ' s feature rich w 65k colors


1 ) a spare battery would have been great


it is small overall , bigger than the ipod , but keep in mind that this is because different , less expensive but not necessarily inferior technology is used in the zx


the front cover can pop off easily but i always have mine in the case so i did n ' t notice after first day


high quality video and pictures rock !


i thought it was kind of steeply priced at that time


the lcd screen pulls out and rotates in any direction for easy pictures


it is not reliable


i thought the software was decent enough it was n ' t complicated to learn at all


there was neither picture nor sound


so i can ' t tell you if diaper champ will be as good at containing the formula generated poop smell , but it ' s excellent at containing the smell of poop of my breastfed baby !


it just tells you to start disconnecting and attaching cables without any input as to whether your current setup includes a pre existing router ( mine does ) , without any clarity as to whether you should be running the wizard on a hard wired pc or a wireless equipped pc


best camera ever from the image quality , color , function , i can say almost everything


buttons size is ok for me , my wife , but not my granny


it is small enough to fit easily in a coat pocket or purse


i simply hate symantec i swear , if i could have physically ripped that software out of my computer with my bare , bleeding hands , i would have


the diaper champ is the best we found !


if someone asked me flat out , i ' d say to go woth something else


i have no problem using itunes with the zen micro ( in a makeshift sorta way )


this process can be very annoying and unsafe when you are driving a stick shift on the highway


i first used the router in the free hand mode and liked it a lot


i ' m going to try to get a refund but considering all the hoops i jumped through ( emails , downloads , reboots , a purge and another download , plus reading through the help menu ) a refund should be twice as frustrating


recent price drops have made the g3 the best bargain in digital cameras currently available


it still smelled


this one is full of features ( has bluetooth )


there is no way you can talk with customer care about this


despite the things that i have listed so far , i could live with this item since it saves me from lugging a cd case to work , to the gym , in the car , etc


the product also leaves a faint smell in the room


i have less money invested in the router table and dual routers than i would have if i had purchased a single cheap reliant sharper


the build quality shows why its so cheap small scratches on the base plate , something that you would n ' t see on a sony and an overall plastic feel


the more i use it and figure out how to do things , the more i like it


among its weak points is the mmc slot location and a bit vague design


ripping your songs and creating playlists could n ' t be any easier


multiple users on one machine never seemed to behave like you ' d expect


and it is extremely well priced for what you ' re getting


i can only hear the sound but no picture !


i purchased the nomad jukebox zen xtra 40gb and it is fantastic !


i have used norton for the past 5 years and for the last 2 years , the software has gotten more and more disgraceful


hitachi ' s m12v is a big beast of a router


on several different occasions it has displayed no disc with a disc inside


i found the controls very intuitive and learned how to maneuver through the menus quickly


8 buttons are little , but if you have steady fingers and deal ed with a casio worst calculator watch , you can deal with almost anything


along the way we compared it to my wife ' s t720i and the 6600 was superior in terms of battery life , connectivity bars and features


3 the picture editing software it came with is adequate , but not very robust


itunes can be downloaded from the enclosed cd or for free from the apple site


it also does n ' t have voice activated dialing big minus ! !


but this by far is the best phone out there right now !


it sometimes takes the picture at some indefinite period of time after you press the shutter button


this model appears to be especially good


then my dvds would stop playing in the middle , or not even be read at all


i love the quality of the pictures


it was ( i sold it after a few months ) too expensive for the shots that i got


10 ) multiple play modes tracks in order of album , shuffle , etc , is standard on all jukebox players but worth noting that the zen xtra is not deficient in this matter


dont rely on t mobile rebates


it ' s overkill for simple snapshots , unless you ' ve got way too much money to blow


short warranty ( 3 months , so i got the extended warranty at best buy ) , occasional freeze up ( easily fixed by popping out battery ) , somewhat flimsy navigation wheel


sound settings can be adjusted for personal preference


i tried e mailing apex and they come back saying undeliverable


if you use linux and want gr ps and or want to use a handsfree bluetooth device , and want a decent camera this is the phone for you


( ) like most soho routers , it has nearly non existant logging


you can record your voice and turn it into a ringtone


very bad quality


i am stunned and amazed at the quality of the raw images i am getting from this g3 ( in conjunction with my professional flash system ) , and can easily put up with the cameras limitations , because ive never seen anything better within its resolution limits


the ipod is overly sensitive to just about everything and gets scratched easily


it holds quite a few diapers , and pops them in quickly and easily


i found that low light situations combined with any sort of action left this camera in the dust


the router has plenty of power for any type of bit or wood i need to cut , and the speed control knob is easy to get to


the fine adjustment knob which came with the router was very difficult to use on a router table


also , the touchpad seems to be waterproof to some degree


the software sucks


8 connected the phone to my tablet pc and now can access company von at 56k speed via bluetooth


i was up all night trying to make the stupid thing work , to no avail


i have to say that i am very happy with it so far


they have a whole bunch of devices that all have the same sounding name ( and they are long )


luckily , with 3 rebates this product will cost me nothing ! it is indeed worth nothing


my fast forward button works , but it takes a little extra pressure on it to make it go


i am very pleased with this product and the price to match and have n ' t had any problems


after some research on the net , i discovered that there is indeed a flaw with the current wrt54g design ( wrt54g , version 3 , which amazon currently sells )


you do get 1 more gb than an ipod mini


our norton internet av 2004 was terrible right from the get go , so i ' d think that if steelworks is ok now , it should remain ok


the rate plans are also very good , at least for me


this unit was working fine for the 1st month and a half and then the color signal disappeared


feature for feature , i find it a very sweet little player equipped with a higher end headphone system , between this and th larger zen hardly use my home stereo system anymore


they really are awfully small


2 take around 10 , 000 640x480 pictures


this item broke just two weeks after i gave it to my kids for christmas


the canon g3 gives tons of control for photo buffs but still has an auto mode that makes it very easy for the novice to use


the environmental audio , however , is almost completely useless and has made most of my songs sound worse than without it ( i encode my songs at 192 256 kbps without variable bit rates )


all in all suprisingly easy to use


this is definitely one of those products , especially as the company is leaning more towards making a profit


it feels tiny in the hand without it


the keypad is a decent size , but the power on off key is small and difficult to press


memory storage seemingly boundless


2 ) scroll button switch


nokias have always had good sound quality and this is no exception


not playing some dvds and then finally after less than 60 days , it just would not recognize anything i pop in it


setup is totally breeze and linksys ' s web site is pretty easy to navigate


now it will start smelling if you leave it with diapers in it for an extended period but all of them will !


color screen is good


i have a modern pc with lots of speed and memory , but this firewall just brought it to a halt


i just purchased this player and i have to say that i love it


the zoom goes up and down in magnification , which is nice , but there is always a display of the zoom size about one quarter of the way down from the top of the screen that interferes with viewing at most settings


i ' m amazed at the photo quality prints are indistinguishable from 35mm prints


i ' m probably the only person that dislikes the itunes software


there are better cameras but none anywhere near as light and compact


and if you ' re a mac user like me , they ' ve naturally made sure you have no viable alternative


this is probably your best bet if you are looking for a phone in this price range , or like me , do not have the patience to deal with annoying flip phones


the headphone jack seems to be a major problem


there are extra features packed inside this unit ( some that most will hardly ever use ) such as fm radio tuner , voice recorder , calendar , and alarm clock


all in all , the diaper champ serves its purpose , but it does not live up to its good reviews


recently bought this coolpix 4300 along with a 256mb ultra flash card as expected , i happily found that qualities of the picture are excellent with 3m 4m pixel fine combos and many of the user friendly functions are very similar to slr models , and with added convenience of a digital camera that you can see pictures immediately


but when we went to use it again , there was sound but no picture


1 it has all the features an amatuer photo enthusiast would want


during install , nis would either freeze or not reboot properly when asked to do so


2 ) nice features , like web browser , camera , video recorder , speaker phone ( very usefully ) , clear voice reception


relative to what i can easily achieve with external flash on my nikon slr , the internal flash on the g3 produces harsh , flat images with ugly hot spots


after some consideration i chose the 40gb nomad zen xtra from creative , and i have not been disappointed


cons breaks easily


advanced photo bugs will find more creative control than imaginable


user ' s guide doesn ' t cover a lot of important info that is covered on their website


the best part of the firewall is the visual backtracking


it is hot enough to be annoying


this phone has many other features , ir , just to name one , the features above i view as the most beneficial


the menu pops up after 3 seconds the picture takes a while to load from its slow card memory


it is a nice router in all ways but one


) can ' t be left in the car it immediately shuts down with an overheating error if left in a hot car for too long


i have stored 40 audio cds and i still have close to 2 8 gb free


even after all the nightmare sound problems , i ' d still half way like this product if it kept it ' s promise the ability to store 1500 songs


and it does an excellent job of keeping the odor contained , which the diaper genie never did !


the unit itself did lock up a few times and i had to hit the reset button but that was a fairly painless process as well


moving on to sound department it delivers !


this product has virtually all the same installation problems


it did play a dvd r which was unplayable in my older philips machine


the touch pad does take a little getting used to


4 ) one nice thing about nokias is that they have a ton of ring tone and game choices


because steve jobs is a twisted individual and he made sure that he ruined this device by giving it an unrepeatable 18 month battery


i recently had to run a 3 4 straight bit through hard maple to make a deep dado and was amazed that this machine didn ' t even slow down


the controls are somewhat harder to use , and there are some oddities about the software tagging system , but most people can live with this


3 band and you can just change the sim card in it to be able to use it in europe with another service provider


door broke after a month


everything , so far , has worked flawlessly


i am annoyed that the player ' s not automatically recognized as a hard drive


the radio and voice recording are nice


it feels like i ' m back to the days of 56k dial up internet service , even though i ' m running a dell 2ghz pentium 4 with 256mb memory and have had excellent broadband service for the past year


this camera is so light and tiny that i literally carry it everywhere with me , which is great considering i ' m an artist and like to capture interesting items for future painting


the controls are hard to manipulate , especially in the dark


this is my fourth linksys product and , aside from the rough start , i ' m very satisfied with this router


whatever on to the negatives touchy about charging you can damage the battery and seriously decrease it ' s life if you don ' t upgrade the firmware or dont ' heed the advice to always plug in the player side of the cord before plugging in the outlet side


im a more happier person after discovering the i p button !


2 ) the body construction buttons , casing , etc , are too plastic


this phone is great as a whole and is not like others with one or two good qualities


2 it takes a while for the camera to actually capture the photograph from the time you click the button and i have seen people becoming a little impatient waiting for the flash to glow


i ' ve had no problems w this phone


software the software that comes along with it is not very intuitive but once you are used to it , it does the job well


it is much easier to fill and unload than the diaper genie , plus , why buy refills when you can use trash bags from the dollar store ?


my file log was not responding and the program was not blocking any cookies or unauthorized sites


i love this player and would probably go with creative labs again


the internet functions of the phone wap and gprs will only work through t mobile ' s services , because they have deleted the menu options that would enable you to configure the phone to be used on a different network


this is a great product , and canon has done an excellent job


will never purchase apex again


the blue light also makes this player one of the most fashionable in the market also


when i went to put in the new sd card i looked at the lcd screen cracked and the fluid gave a jackson pollock type appearance to the screen , black and blue and purple blotches and streaks useless


if you don ' t mind all the buttons being touch sensitive , i ' d re comment buying it to try out , and also buy an extra 2 year warranty for it ( there are some offered here , for about 15 dollars i think )


less than a month later the screen freezes and eventually shows no disc


yin to point out they have experience , and so the reliability of the connection you get is among the best


focusing on a display rack about 20 feet away in a brightly lit room during day time , pictures produced by this camera were blurry and in a shade of orange


however , if there was one thing i liked about the creative , it would be the car adapter


it wo n ' t play all of my movies


battery life is awesome if you upgrade the firmware requires a windows pc or make sure to always plug the ac adapter into the player before plugging into the outlet awesome sound quality i mean it is creative right ?


the strap is horrible and gets in the way of parts of the camera you need access to


the voice recorders good , but you can ' t record songs off the radio for ring tones


but now that she is eating solids the odor is escaping out and we are constantly using freshener


i ' ve used the corporate edition at work without any problems ever


what this product really needs is better documentation for how to set up the router for different operating systems !


7 ) some people have problems with the flip switch on the bottom that releases the player cover has not been an issue for me and is immaterial if you use the case as the case covers the switch


many other reviewers are mentioning that they have had no problems at all i would say that the main problem is that this player is just not made very well


our special friends at creative gave this thing good sound quality , great features , long battery life , and an unbeatable price


as a portable player , it should feel a bit more durable


the phone is very light weight


the function lever the one which switches between capture and view mode feels fragile


perhaps i bought the micro to be different , the cheaper price tag ( from amazon ) , the design , or avoiding the high ipod theft in nyc subways


we ' ve purchased 3 universal remotes so far all claiming to work apex dvd players and none worked


it is easy to install and change the ordinary trash bags , easy to clean , and most important , easy to use one handed just insert folded dirty diaper and flip the handle


the flaw is inside the zen


the 6600 ( t mobile ) is the true ' world phone ' in that it has the mhz to operate around the globe , including new zealand and australia ( 900 ) whereas the 6620 ( available from singular ) replaces it w 800mhz ( some refer to as 850 )


made the camera totally inoperable


this phone is fantastic


in fact , i ' d have to rate it among the worst i ' ve ever encountered


i will never use all the whistles and bells this machine is capable of


6 ) the case occludes the display screen when it is closed


a lot of people complain about the creative software , but i actually find creative mediasource organizer to have some strengths over itunes


forget about the sleek looks if it can ' t play some of your real dvds


proven canon built quality and lens


it was n ' t as easy to fast forward or pause a song than it was with a regular walkman


the memory ( 40 gb ) is staggering


the only thing i don ' t like about it is that you have to buy a larger memory card , first thing !


the price is incredible with the bonus pack and hitachi ' s 25 incentive ( you need the code go to tool seeker com and it tells you )


i would give it about 6 or 7 hours , although it will probably get better after a few charge cycles


the card basically installed itself and the install wizard on the cd that came with the router basically set the router up to work with one computer ( with the 54g card ) and also a second computer in my house ( with an 11b card )


and i can ' t warn you enough to stay away from norton ! !


i ' ve only had this camera for a few days , but it ' s been great


the only minor nits i have with the camera are it is fairly boxy looking , it needs a wrist strap instead of a neck strap , and it is a bit slow between shots


i have taken hundreds of photos with it and i continue to be amazed by their quality


the only drawbacks i ' ve encountered are 1 indoor shots from a distance 8ft lack contrast and color , but i ' ve found this to be a problem with all cameras with built in flashes that i ' ve used even on a nikon slr


3 ) joy stick for eazy navigation , 35mb memory card to store the pictures and stuff


i had some issues when i had enabled wep encryption and then moved on to wpa


im able to keep my phone on for about a week ( mostly stand by ) to three days ( regular use )


one of the dvd ' s i received as a christmas present kept freezing


overall , this player is awesome and i definately recommend it


i don ' t know , maybe i got a defective one but first , the player would not shut off , next , the player would not come on i had to send it away to get repaired


i like the size and weight of this little critter


the touch sarene navigation will take a little getting used to , but once you do , and while the zen is still alive , it ' s a great alternative to the marching in lock step with the click wheel commies


this phone is good with a huge array of features built into it


i find that if you remove the springs it is much easier to adjust and will not stick much


12 ) big storage my entire cd collection in one small device ( 5717 songs , 491 albums and counting ) !


i have ice age and it keeps telling me no disc


everything else about the ipod is great , the click wheel is very easy to use and so is the software that comes with it


negatives of the player itself you need to do a little work before having full enjoyment of this player


it surpasses my greatest expectations in a 4mp camera


however , i do n ' t like to carry it on my belt because the clip is n ' t secure and the case can slip off


great phone , easy to use , excellent network , no regrets ! ! !


the 2600 had false silver plate instead of play display


update the finish is more mirror than silver and i like it !


also , diapers tend to stay in the middle , causing the pail to get backed up


you can take pictures seconds after you turn the camera on literally !


the user support service isn ' t too great either


you have the option to have the flash automatic or off


the grain was terrible


it really is the perfect travel camera , plus it offers the convenience of digital photography


seemed like a good deal , but this pps frequently can not recognize dvds and music cds takes a long time loading and then concludes , no disc


i find it very stable and comfortable to use , it doesn ' t jump around or make me feel like i need to use a lot of arm strength to keep it under control , and it has very good visibility to see your cut


the dynamic playlists ( now playing , i be live creative calls it ) feels very awkward at times and some menus simply take to long to get to and operate


i ' ve been incredibly happy with this camera


granted , i have only used this dvd player for about 2 hours setting it up for my mom for christmas , but that was long enough for me to find problems with this dvd player


i got it to use with the new 5 per month service from yahoo ( music unlimited , ) and despite the above issues , i love it


i fully expect it to go bad again in the same or some other way in the next 6 months because , as other reviewers have pointed out , the construction is pretty flimsy


it ' s rechargable and supposedly easy to replace though i haven ' t had to do it yet of course


luckily the soft start helped before it took the wood and tossed it or worse case , a finger


1 ) great sound ( 98db signal to noise ratio beats ipod ' s unspecified ratio ) and good power output allow the zen xtra to drive large head phones as well as external speakers


there was occasionally a lip sync issue ( the lips were n ' t moving in time to the dialog )


1 the phone has the best keypad any nokia phone has to offer


as for the zen micro cons i read that every button is touch sensitive , and thats very annoying when all the main buttons are on the front
