player works and looks great if you can get the dvd ' s to play


what a junk


as the 6600 uses 900mhz , it operates in more countries than the 6620


i find this feature on this phone useless , but , since i don ' t really need this function anyway , i don ' t really use it


i have found that the interface on the nomad is very easy to use if you have a basic knowledge of a computer


it also has a stock tracking app built in ( also useless ) and a somewhat useful application which converts all types of metrics ( currency , length , area , etc )


i didnt have any installation problems and the touch pad is fine , even if it is sort of inaccurate


i must say , this one is quite slow to open an application


while this phone obviously doesn ' t have the same quality construction as motorola does , the nokia 6600 is one of the better phones i ' ve used


the software , mediasource , can not work on my pc ( laptop , intel p4 2 0 , xp os )


you can move the focus range to almost anywhere in the scene with the push of a button , and it has an on screen manual focus mode that would be really helpful if shooting a scene that is tough to automatically focus


1 pictures wo n ' t transfer to pc directly from the camera using the included transfer cable


at first i had a problem with some smell , then i realized if you flip the lid back and always keep the same side facing in then there is no smell at all !


on 2 dvds so far it refuses to play certain episodes with no problems on the others on the dvd


the zen micro ( mine ' s black ) has a lot going for it


the cons , at times the diaper wipes get stuck in the disposal area making it hard to turn the handle back and forth


the picture is perfect , although i ' m not watching on an hdtv


also the battery life isn ' t great but it ' s sufficient for my needs


the design and construction are excellent as is the legendary quality of the nikon optics


the fact that the 0 key is the space key for text input is a bit confusing , as many phones use the key instead


nis 2003 worked like a charm last year


there is no way the battery supplied lasts 14 hours !


the software could n ' t be better and the mp3 player works like a dream , i could n ' t give this anything but a 5 , i wish there was a 6


the only not so positive comment i have is about the depth adjustment , it is not easy to micro adjust accurately


lots of sound options , has an equalizer almost like winamp with the options


although the sd500 takes great quality photos , the sensitivity of the lcd compromises the quality overall


this program enables the user to batch convert and convert audio files from one format to another


creating playlists using the included software to minimize issue 3 was n ' t as easy as i would have liked


this is my second digital camera , but i ' m much more impressed with the canon s100 digital elph than i ever was with my kodak dc240


symantec should give us all a refund and apology !


this new click wheel ipod allows you to navigate through the menus and song via a touch wheel for scrolling and click able buttons for selection


pc software that comes with the player is not as simple as i tunes but its not bad at all


other than the fact that one can ' t delete a file directly from the ipod , the interface is excellent and mind numbingly simple to use


i spent hours setting up the stations ( accepts about 13 14 , i believe ) , though the reception is unpredictable


this phone is one of the best i ' ve ever used


of course one of the first things i did was write an email to the customer support at creative , through their website , and by the time they finally got back to me several working days later when they promise only one their suggestions were completely worthless


i ' ve since gotten the linksys modem ( befcmu10 ) and stacked it with the wrt54g router and it works fantastic ! ! !


just don ' t get drawn into t mobile ' s catchy rebate


all the good reviews for the sd500 are true


sure , it ' s a little bigger than the ipod , but not by much


when i took outdoor photos with plenty of light and the objects were n ' t moving , the photos were awesome


i was using a motorola t720i with verizon and i had alot of dropped calls and i had troubles syncing data


when you turn on your player , the player turns on really fast , and the music continues to play , as you left it when you were turning it off


finally , i reiterate my thumbs down rating for t mobile as a carrier


the 4300 is a very durable , compact package , and i find nikon to be a brand that i can trust


i see many other reviews that say the same stay away from norton , they don ' t deserve you , or anyone !


1 the ability to selectively switch to raw format during record review gives you incredible more post processing flexibility


they didn ' t know what the problem could be


the appearance is okay ed ( at least not ugly )


we tried the finding memo dvd and when we got to chapter 28 , the frames started to freeze for no reason


it may not top the ipod mini , but it ' s definitely an alternative if you also want the extra features and good sound quality


the touchpad is virtually unusable sometimes you have to press like mad to make a selection and other times the slightest brush causes something to be selected that you don ' t want


you can do other different things with it such as choose what kind of now playing interface , you can see the interface as modern or classical


i must have heard this about a dozen times over the span of 2 weeks , when t zones never worked


i found using the supplied mediasource software very easy


apex ' s website is down and they wo n ' t answer their phone


it is a very amazing product


but if i installed either one of these norton products , neither works after installation ?


the phone is small , light , and very attractive


i ' ve often struggled to get something to work the way i want it , and hate to have to carry the manual with me all the time !


so the pretty solid router all around good for the money here ' s the link to firmware updates http www suavest com forum6 html


no proprietary headset jack


i highly recommend a nokia 6610


i can not find a carrier for this phone i like , end up just tossing it in my purse


i think the interface is great


i think this is it ' s biggest flaw


on the fly play list creation , address book , removable storage drive capabilities , sound recorder , the list goes on people , this thing is literally so chalked full of goodies , it was like halloween all over again


scroll button more cumbersome than on earlier models


the pop up blocker and anti spam are bonuses


other tagging problems result ( i think ) from the nomad ' s operating system


i ' ve had no problems at all so far and i ' m very happy


2 ) no games it has a cool screen why not use it


great value 40gb vs 10 gb ipod for the price


styling ergonomics the keys are small , which generally doesn ' t bother me if they are spaced because i can employ a little ' braille , ' but the keys run into each other , so careful attn must be paid when dialing


with nikon , although picture qualities are as good as any other 4 mp cameras , i ' ve had the following headaches


but this doesn ' t make up for it ' s innumerable other short comings , the biggest of which is the inability to download any updates due to problems with liveupdate


wow was that disappointing and we didn ' t even have it 6 months before it broke


you have to purchase that separately for some outrageous cost


at double speed ( 2x forward speed ) , it still plays mp3s with sound they are pitch corrected and smooth , but twice as fast !


again , every review written about the tech line is true after waiting close to 45 minutes i finally spoke to a rep


this is the perfect camera for a photo hobbiest who wants to have easy point and shoot ability as well


seems it is always difficult to press to make a selection


i have a hard time using other phones with smaller screens ! ! !


the face plate , which pops out for the battery , pops open by itself every 10 minutes or so


the screen ' s large and easily read


mine was 2 weeks old and i chucked it in the trash , where it belongs


even with the waterproof housing it is small


the battery life leaves a lot to be desired


price and capacity


the movie clips taken will always have some ' noise ' in it you can ' t avoid that


unless you have an enormous music audio book library , the 20 gb model should have more than adequate storage capacity , with a stated ability to hold 5000 songs


after several years of torture in the hands of at t customer service i am delighted to drop them , and look forward to august 2004 when i will convert our other 3 family phones from at t to t mobile !


i ' m staying with sprint , and though i fear that their csr is n ' t nearly as good as t mobile ' s , the clarity of their reception is exceptional


apex sucks !


overall an excellent phone


one bad thing though , i find the remote control a bit flimsy and i predict it will most probably ' die ' before the player does


the earbud headphones are really nice


the one i purchased for a friend as a gift will not read any dvd disc


if you love your cell phone games or changing your ring tones everyday , nokia beats everyone else


the touch pad would be a great thing if it worked well , and as i never had issues getting songs transferred to the player , i did have problems accessing them from the player


the ipod is not overpriced compared to the market


the only complaint i have is that when you push in the scroll wheel to select , you have to push straight in or it sticks


the nomad explorer provide most of the functionality offered by 3rd party programs like notmad


included creative software is pretty poor


the battery stays charged for a long time , and takes no more than 2 or 3 hours at most to fully recharge via the included ac adapter


only owned it about two weeks so i expect we ' re looking at getting another progressive scan dvd player of higher quality very soon


this camera was affordable , very easy to learn , and produces spectacular images


one caveat i have is that i understand the ipod does not save the photos in such a way that the quality of the image is preserved


i use a nokia 6600 , it has a great color tft display and camera equipped with zoom , which complement a built in video recorder with audio and a real one player for playback and streaming of 3gpp compatible and real media video clips


i will say that the os that the phone runs does have a few issues


they fix the problem and help you with whatever your i pod needs comes with two usb ports and a charger


only thing i don ' t like about it is slow in changing apps , boot up , and sometime it has problem connect thru bluetooth


i hooked the linksys wireless router up to a broadband connection which is running at a maximum of 700 plus kilobytes on the download e !


otherwise , get a smaller single speed router , which will be much easier to use freehand and is all you need for smaller diameter bits


this router acts as a wireless access point , 100 mb switch and a router making it a nice multipurpose device


creative software stinks


i noticed that the micro adjustment knob and collet are well made and work well too


the player feels very delicate , as if i ' m holding an actual hard drive


i got this camera about a month ago and i can ' t put it down


the cut outs for the controls is not thought out as there is too much material in the way to adequately access the controls , especially the scroll wheel


works great , no odor , and uses regular bags


to eliminate any smells we simple stuck a stick up room deodorizer inside the lid


i only wanted something to play dvds on but this machine has all these other features that i probably will never use but it ' s nice to know that there ' re there


the only things i have found that i havent liked is that the lcd is hard to read in daylight but everyone else ' s is too


this is a nice feature ( i e it ' s early in the morning and you rather listen to easy listening rather than heavy metal no problem


little to no networking experience , just in case the automatic cd method has issues


my favorite thing about the nomad is the eax feature


when the screen stops working , you ' re out of luck !


using your own bags is much cheaper and convenient


this one is particularly bothersome allegedly one can use the zen micro as a portable drive to store and transport data from one computer to another


it holds a lot of diapers , not to mention the odor !


so i e mailed the online tech support with that simple question , and got a reply which was totally unresponsive ( it looked as though they didn ' t actually read the e mail and just sent back a few boilerplate paragraphs )


feature wise , its a lot better than the dlink and netgear routers out there


i would not be inclined to purchase an apex product again


the small size is perfect for my little hands , but may perhaps be uncomfortable or awkward for a bigger person


i know the saying is you get what you pay for but at this stage of game dvd players must have better quality than this there is no excuse


the manual is easy to understand , and it is mostly idiot proof


once it froze so bad i couldn ' t even use the power button to turn it off , and had to open and take out the battery


just received this camera two days ago and already love the features it has


i can ' t tell you how many times i ' ve chipped a nail or hurt my fingertips because of the force needed to open it


i have been ripping songs into it for the past few weeks , and the ease of use is wonderful


other than that pictures taken in the dark are not as nice as i ' d like them ,


this camera has canon ' s great calorimetry , plus what you see in the lcd is what you get


the movies last about 5 seconds


if you can get one with all the accessories and a cheap extended warranty , this is the player to get ! highly recommended


i ' m not willing to accept shoddy construction on something i paid over 250 dollars for


the zen micro is smaller than it looks in pictures , and feels very solid


overall , it does its basic function very well , but we expect more from the mp3 players today and the zen micro does not rise to the occasion


the ear buds that come with it look cheap , but the sound quality is amazing


these people takes lest effort to process rebate forms


1 it uses regular garbage bags instead of brand refills


we got two phones for the t mobile family plan ( indeed very easy to switch to the family plan ) and one came with a broken headphone ( can hear but can not be heard ) and one died today after less than two weeks of use


even better , with the optional headset you can listen to music over the integrated radio


the auto focus on the camera seems to have trouble focusing on the subject


this player is absolutely phenomenal , i haven ' t had any problems , and if you ' re worried you will have problems , i suggest buying it at a retail store that has a good return policy but anyways i find the touch pad very easy to use , and i ' m surprised so many people have had problems


to use the creative zen player with a subscription service , you need to go to creative ' s web site , and download new software for your pc


this setup using the cd was about as easy as learning how to open a refrigerator door for the first time


in addition , it only seems to work if you ' re about five feet away from the player , although that may have been just the batteries that came with it


the menus are easy to scroll through they are laid out naturally , and make sense


i know this unit will have problems in the future and the 40 for the 2 year no questions asked replacement warranty will be worth it , since creative will only warrant it for 90 days which in itself is totally ridiculous !


i can go pretty far away from my router and still connect wirelessly


the battery does not last 12 hours


the ipod is a very nice product , which given reasonable care , should give a lot of service


because the engineers at creative screwed up the design of the headphone jack


the camera is very easy to use , in fact on a recent trip this past week i was asked to take a picture of a vacationing elderly group


p s the only snag i encountered while initially configuring the device was trying to hook up the micro to a front usb port the bus for the front port on my motherboard did not have enough power after connecting it to the rear ports , it works perfectly


they are sensitive and accurate ( perhaps too accurate , it senses through t shirt cloth , but the touchpad can be locked ) , but easy to clean , unlike buttons


the hitachi collet simply was not ground accurately


speaker phone quality is good , and poping in a 512mb mmc card , it rocks !


namely , it wouldnt sync


small size


also , not liking the gel case


the 6600 was the best phone i could find with these options that i could get with t mobile


the biggest problem is the installation


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


i find the major problem with this item is that if you have a very messy diaper and can ' t tightly bundle it without a mess , the mess gets all over the module that dumps the diaper and the stink is outside of the diaper pail


but it is smooth , it is powerful , it is affordable it has a proven track record


the next problem was that it didn ' t recognize all the installed components , so it would not update them , most notably and importantly , virus definitions


the macro works great for medical photographs and the auto mode is terrific for point and shoot


the gprs web access is slow !


works great !


i have noted that as you use the tool , sawdust builds in the channel and it requires attention


there is also a small covering for the lens , so you need not worry that the lens will get scratched


if you want to rename a cd title that you have already transferred , you will become frustrated quite quickly


let the champ win you over !


the only complaint i have is that the 1 4 collet will not sufficiently hold any of my 1 4 bits


the player works well with my sony srs a 202 powered speakers


it has never worked


if you want to work wirelessly , this router does just what you want it to do and my geek friends say that the security is as good as it gets right now


mediasource did not recognize my tags !


newbies will find the full auto setting will give them perfect pictures right out of the box


you have to wonder why creative can ' t get this right


placement of the buttons and software user interface is near perfect


so , i ' ve had it for a month , and the headphone jack went out


just bought one i ' ve enjoyed it to date


the colors are a joke , and i personally hate the stupid vertical touchpad


other than this , i am very pleased with the router and would buy it again


the only reason for not giving it 5 stars the claimed battery life of 12 hours is very optimistic possible maybe if you really sit down and listen continuously for 12 hours without ever touching the player , but in real life i can probably get 6 8 hours at most


the design , as mentioned above , is sleek , cool and trendy ( and i think trendy good , but it ' s always hard to tell these days )


i thought this camera was awful and i did tons of research on cnet and other sites


the software was great , as long as you have an administrative user account ( windows xp )


after research of other creative hard drive players , i found that most of them aren ' t very durable and tend to crash ( read most reviews on amazon com and see for yourself )


i ' ve now had the camera for two months and i ' m even more pleased with it


i ' ve had nokia ' s for years , and while this one is packed with whiz bang features it is disappointing for its primary use a phone


it ' s oval and nice


the disadvantages of this camera is it has been having some trouble with its autofocus on a few occasional pictures , especially quick candid shots where you start up and shot as quick as you can


the cd ripping to mp3 is so easy , and you can even rip the cd directly to the mp3 player , so it wo n ' t take up space on your pc hard drive


radio quality weak reception


navigation is so smooth and finding files is a cinch


my only complaint ( really more of an observation ) is that the outside finish of the ipod is rather delicate , so i am going to get a case for mine so it doesn ' t get all scratched up


the 4g ipod costs the same as this 5g zen micro


again , the headphone jack on this thing is garbage


we tried it out christmas night and it worked great


i tried the cd setup program without any luck


love the speaker phone


3 it is slow , if you keep the original configuration and prigs ( why ' d u buy it then ? ! ) it ' ll run smoothly , but still slower than most other coloured screen nokias


the player is smaller than you think


the eax sound enhancement feature did n ' t do enough for me and the custom eq was a limited 5 band eq


i am now staring at an array of stuff including zen micro player , stereo earbud headphones , a rechargeable lithium ion battery , an ac dc power adapter , a usb 2 0 cable , a belt clip , a stand , a stylish cloth pouch , an installation cd , a quick start guide , and creative mediasource software


basically the 6600 is a bundle of over hyped features you don ' t and won ' t need ( if you do get yourself a pda or pocket pc ) , none of them work as they should , and the basic phone functions and ergonomics are less than average


you of course have some good customization options with the unit as well ( sound presets , navigating options , playlists , etc )


i tried to use the fm radio option , but it doesn ' t seem to really pick up the stations i listen , however i am going to try it in a different location , it may have just been my residential location


the color screen is a plus , as are the polyphonic ringtones


they are a royal pain to install , and don ' t function properly once finally installed if you can install them at all


very intuitive menus are a big plus on this camera


the software , which comes with player is not good at all


4 the shape of this device is a little squarer , without losing the weight which means better balance and less shaking while clicking


yes there is a corner lens barrel distortion ( i do n ' t like it too but no harm done since i always use the cam ea lcd screen to see exactly what i ' m going to get ) in the viewfinder when you do n ' t zoom ( when you zoom the lens distortion goes away ) , canon knows this and engineered it that way to minimize the parallax phenomenon that is what lamest exactly ot the picture


i like the speak phone function a lot


well just one con its not really plug and play at first i mean its very confusing to start the program but one you do it , it will be a breeze


all i have to say is that the pics i get with my sd500 are both rich and color and high in detail , the user interface is awesome , the battery charger is tiny and super light and sd cards are relatively cheap and getting cheaper all the time


who wants to go through the hassles of loading software onto a foreign computer just to move over some simple ( txt ) files ?


i ' m easily enlarging pictures to 8 1 2 x 11 with no vi sable loss in picture quality and not even using the best possible setting as yet ( super fine )


i had a lot of problems setting it up , since the software given along with it is buggy


but i ' ve already emailed creative tech support about it , and gotten timely responses they will fix it for me if necessary


after two weeks the picture kept freezing


but , dollar for dollar , this dvd player is probably the best out there


the only problem i had was a few components didn ' t quite load correctly upon startup , but a reboot fixed the problem


otherwise , this player is awesome !


2 ) the remote works , but then it does not work , and you are left standing there thinking you are doing something wrong


the software has been installed on windows 95 , 98 , 2000 and xp and i haven ' t had any problems with it


in other words , the zen is not a convenient data storage device only buy the capacity you need for your music collection ( see point 1 for some sizing information )


about the product the zen micro is a sleek , stylish device that caters not just to hip youngsters but to people of all walks of life who like to listen on the go without having to worry frequently about battery life , size , or the awkward factor


but the earbuds suck !


this dvd player plays raw mpeg2 and mpeg1 videos , jpeg , wma , cmdr cadre dvd dvd , and of course plays dvd movies from uk i love the giff , progressive scan feature


in my opinion the worst issue on this phone is the side mounted volume control


the machine is very light and slim and fits nicely into my tv stand


the day finally arrived when i was sure i ' d leave sprint


it took me about an hour to set up a wireless environment in her townhouse and she hasn ' t called me yet with any problems


who in the hell needs a frigging vga camera on their cellphone ? ? ?


it ' s so small and light , even with a spare battery , you really can take it anywhere


a lot of fragments were left in the registry , and it the norton system folders


both are very easy to learn use , and intuitive enough for even a novice


my one issue with the mediasource software is that , despite pulling id3 tag data from the dds service , the ripping process fails to populate the year field


i actually took a friends word on it and went with this champ when registering and i am glad i did


however , the calls constantly drop in my area and i experience mega static , to the point where i ' d have to dial numbers 6 7 times to get a clear line


ball metaphor i was hoping creative hit a home run here , and i think the zen micro is more like a stand up double


the interface software itself , which should be user friendly , was anything but easy to use


i also like the lock feature , so it makes the touch pad inactive


i immediately had problems getting the player to recognize two of my favorite dvds


i do like this phone overall ( would give it a 3 5 ) , but unfortunately , i am returning it


linksys is more costlier than others and is a home consumer division of disco


all the features are incredibly intuitive , even for a novice like me


gets stinky after a few months , the seal on the piston doesn ' t seal anymore


looks snazzy smaller than a pack of smokes easily transported ac charger included as well as a hard shell that comes with a clip and a stand adapter usb cable !


first thing i noticed was that the creative wasn ' t well made


the ss body is wonderful , feels high quality


the battery , as others have said , also seems weaker than creative suggests


this is a really great buy , for yourself or as a shower gift


even after reading some of the instructions , it ' s still hard to figure out


the i pod is the best thing i have ever used


cheap construction they should have made the player out of hard plastic and put some rubber on the corners


for some this might be a problem , but for the price of a 30 gig ipod , you can get a 60gb nomad , the ipod simply pales in comparison


i tried to make sense of the file transfer program and just got more confused


4 megapixels is plenty for all but pros , and you will not be disappointed with the results of this camera


don ' t buy the diaper champ


1 speakers at home , i rarely use it with the earbuds , though they are much better than the ones you normally get with other mp3 players


the auto color balance is often fooled by dense clouds


i have had several mp3 players over the past few years , and have to say that this by far is the best that i ' ve owned


the reason i rated it a four is because of that darn diopter adjustment dial its very small and hard to turn so you can ' t get an accurate adjustment ( for those of you who do n ' t know what a diopter adjustment is , it is to adjust the focus of the viewfinder to your eyesight )


the standard battery include with the g3 is a camcorder battery that will allow me to take pictures all day without worrying about charging


basically , i ate the cost of the renewal and ate the cost of the tech help


the phone offers a 32 mb mmc card and i think that is certainly the most exciting feature


the phone does not have an mp3 player , fm radio , 200k color screen , megapixel camera , quad band , pda , photo editor


the unit works great with my cassette adapter for my car is also easily worked without taking your eyes off the road !


the headphones are n ' t the best , but you can really expect much out of the small headphones you insert in the ear cavity


all of the wireless components that i bought were a breeze to set up as well


i just wished that it didn ' t fill up so fast !


the extended zoom range and faster lense put it at the top of it ' s class


i read many reviews on norton i s 2004 from a variety of sources ( cnet , amazon , message boards ) and came to the conclusion that nis 04 was a terrible product and not worth the update


and so far , i ' ve been very pleased


will not automatically transfer songs with identical titles ( if you have live albums or greatest hits albums , this will cause you inordinate frustration )


purchased this router a few months back , no problems whatsoever


if the plunging action is critical to your work , look elsewhere


digital zoom is clear too say you used all 3x optical zoom , try to do digital zoom then just try not to shake the camera at all and you ' ll still get a clear good quality picture


my first router is a safety hazard if you do not pay attention and are not very careful


i love the es based controls and easy menus


it seems to me that after the focus and metering are complete there is quite a lag before the shutter ?


finding a particular song ( s ) or album on the nomad jukebox is fast and easy


do not buy this product


i have to say i ' m also pretty impressed by the user interface for playing jpeg , mp3 and mpeg files stored on cd rs dvds


if you have an older version of internet security installed , you may also need to remove it as well before proceeding with systemworks install


my sd500 focuses flawlessly , does not whine during video , and my pictures are razor sharp


within one month , my player completely died


no offense to amazon , but i was able to find one online for just over 200 bucks ( i ' m sure prices here will continue to sink ) , and that also seemed quite a good bargain for the amount of storage space


update january 27th 2004 the second one crapped out only after a week dont buy this product !


the battery life is very good , i got about 90 minutes with the lcd turned on all the time , the first time around , and i have been using it with the lcd off every now and then , and have yet needed to recharge it


it took me three days , to the tune of neil young ' s song piece of cr ! , to get this to work with the satellite hookup i was hired to connect this wireless network up to


fm radio built in ( howard stern )


the controls are somewhat harder to use than the ipod , but i have gotten use to them , and even at the beginning did not think would justify the huge difference in price


i did a ton of research and settled on this phone because of the small size , speakerphone option , great priced calling plan and access to my corporate email


we also had a problem with diaper wipes getting caught when the top was flipped


good image quality


one downside as of this writing , t mobile has n ' t updated their t zone system to fully support the 6610


for looks , well ipod is head and shoulders better , both the iriver and creative zen look positively ugly when next to a gleaming ipod


a little weighty ( 9 ounces no biggie ) , but otherwise fine


additionally , it has more fun stuff like more tones , wallpapers , screen saver , stop clock , alarm , java applications ( chess , currency converter etc )


i just bought one and returned it as defective for good reason


their website had a download that helped remove those , although i had to manually remove a good number of files from the programs directory


the backlight on the phone goes off way too quickly ( dangerous when you ' re driving at night ) , and there ' s no way to change this


it plays original dvds and cds and plays mp3s and jpegs


flash as with all built in flashes in small cameras , you get over illuminated main subjects with depth being lost


try before you buy if at all possible although i am a mac addict now for over a decade and everyone i know has previously bought an ipod , the nomad zen xtra was a far better value and is just as easy to use with regards to both hardware and software interface


) worst feature possible , this alone makes it rate one star what ' s up with no recharge cord ?


the sound quality is excellent ( and i ' m fussy with that stuff ) , the unit looks cool , screen is bright and easy to read , and the replaceable battery means a major advantage over the ipod ( besides the price , but everyone knows that )


it also has unproven battery life


i looked into buying an inexpensive dvd player that had more than the standard set of features and this item seemed to be the best in that category


( it had locked up multiple times previously , but always managed to work after wards ) this time , the touch screen wouldn ' t respond to me and none of the buttons worked


it ' s shorter , sleeker , more compact and fits comfortably in my small hand than the ipod my nokia cell phone towers over this bad boy !


the customer support is pathetic


it has a beautiful design , lots of features , very easy to use , very configurable and customizable , and the battery duration is amazing !


the panel seems like it will come off very easily as other people have said


it is a great phone , if you are traveling all over the world , packed with wonderful features


too bad the product is cumbersome and intertwined trying to do so much at one time


it is a fantastic camera and well worth the price


1 ) player is not plug and play need to install nomad explorer first and mediasource to transfer files and i had to be patient as i was used to winxp detecting the player and dragging and dropping the music files into it


mine is as easy to use as the mini without any firmware download


we found that when you put a dirty diaper into the top loader , there was a tendency to get streaks which would then get on the plunger which would then have to get cleaned each time it was used


flawless


5 ) video recorder is of no use and one can not record something useful in 10 seconds and it takes a while to send the same through the free picture and video messaging offered by service provider


white earbuds ( i replaced those with some shire headphones , big difference ) , a case , a stand , a clip ( which doesn ' t really work ) , and a nice little zen micro bag


one still works fine , the other quit after one day


i am ripping my cd collection into 160 kbps wma files this gives an average of around 60 65 mb per cd , good for about 900 cds in the 57 , 000 mb of free memory available to me


navigation system the zen xtra uses id3 tags that are embedded in the mp3 files to organize your songs


and for those that are int rested the recharger works anywhere in the world ( and is quite small )


my son tried it and he too couldn ' t change the speed without an assist


it ' s cheaper , holds more songs and is smaller


for example , i tried playing my new pirates of the caribbean extra features dvd , but this dvd player can not read it


it is slow to initially start up , but once it ' s turned on , i ' ve never had any complaints about the speed


i saw a few complaints on the load time of menus and i feel people are over exaggerating the menu load time


compared to other leading dd mp3 players , the value per gb is the tops


for example , in auto mode you can ' t use the flash redeye reduction , you must be in manual mode for that


if you are looking for a user friendly diaper pail that actually does keep the odor contained , than the diaper champ is the one for you !


( i never know when the champ is full as there is no way too tell even though not particularly aesthetic , how about making the champ clear and see through ? ) so , i lift the lid and find a wad of diaper , which i must remove , usually stuck inside the lid itself because the bag is too full


using the software itunes is relatively simple , you just plug the usb cable in , wait your machine to detect the ipod and voila , any songs listed in your itunes library will be transfer ed on over to the ipod


i no longer use it as a plunge router , only as a stationary or table mounted router


both the on off switch ( soft start ) and the depth lock are within easy reach of the right hand


however , the main problem that i think is the with the sound quality


i received this item for christmas and it has met and exceeded all my standards


my only gripe about the hardware is the buttons


yes , the features are numerous


the other pail i used started to smell after 2 weeks of use


a great camera , but here are some points which i don ' t notice in most of the reviews here , which may be of concern especially to the more advanced amatuer


the flaw is in the circuit board that the headphone jack is connected to


it doesn ' t bog down under load


only used for 3 month before it ' s down !


for the price , i am considering purchasing a spare just to have as a backup


t610 supports only midi files


the box is upstairs , and in the farthest room i get connected at 11 18m speed that is similar to the older 10m ethernet standard


it had issues right off the bat , with freezing up , staying in ' shutting down ' mode , and just not functioning very well in general


i use the regular kitchen trash bags and it is so easy to empty


i ' ve also had the nomad zen lock up several times


the included eax support is useful at times , especially when you listen to a variety of genres , as it will adjust the equalizer for you which can be a big hassle


the only thing i would complain about the zen xtra is that the controls are n ' t as easy as the ipod ' s , or as sexy looking


you can take pic of your friends and the picture will pop up when they call


what i dont like nothing much except headphones , belt clip design


the blue backlit lcd looks really neat and is easy to read


neither message was answered ( they ask for 24 hours before replying i ' ve been waiting 27 days )


anything this phone does , it does perfectly


so i took out the battery and put it back in again , only to find that it would not work


it ' s easy to use ( just a flip of the lid , and the diaper is gone ! )


for purposes of clarity , here is my review from that product , edited to be appropriate for this product , since , for the most part , they share many of the same problems


built in microphone is great for recording short voice notes


the black fly wheel feels pretty cheap is uncomfortable to use


this product is a lifesaver ! !


it sends discontinuous signals to tv , so the tv has the pictures for one moment and has only the white noise for the other moment


however since this router is backward compatible , that doesn ' t pose a problem at all


if you experience problems with installation , you can visit symantec ' s website , click the support tab , click the ' home or home office support ' and there is an automated support assistant that can scan the norton program files on your computer and it will tell you what is not working right and how to fix it


also , the wma compression format is superior to mp3 , especially at lower bit rates , so i needed a player that could handle wma and integrate well with my windows xp computers


i am giving a zero star to symantec for this version !


battery a big big plus


apple closed their island to anything that resembled microsoft , and clearly let napster know it could not use their products with napster ' s services


excellent phone , the phone looks much better than what u see in the pictures


unfortunately it can ' t play all of the dvd


this is the fourth version of systemworks and the second version of internet security that i have used and it has always been a favorite


i also removed the springs in the plunge tubes to make it easier to raise


even at the normal setting , a 8x10 print ! shows not a single sign of visible rendering or pixels you could never tell that the picture has been taken by a digital


2 ) the delay from the time you fully depress the shutter to the time the picture is taken is too long and may yield some fuzzy shots


i must have differing preferences than others here , as i prefer the supplied earbuds to the sony ' s that i thought sounded good on other players


the only downside to this is that it can get pretty stinky long before the pail is full


very comfortable camera , easy to use , and the best digital photos you ' re going to get at this price


i purchased this phone knowing it was slightly old as compared to the newer models of nokia phones available


especially for the price amazon gives it at ( i was unable to get mine through amazon due to some credit complications )


don ' t use them , so i delete them for addle space


i have been very impressed with my purchase of the sd500 i bought it at the beginning of the month as the ultimate pocket camera and have shot 300 images so far with it


if there was a zero star rating i would give it


i experimented with online print ordering with the two major us brick and mortar retailers , and they both delivered great results


they are not wow able good


easy to use a lot of reviews has mentioned about this


for my first i had a diaper genie which was not only costly with the refills but it was also very stinky


i still have my s70 because i like the wider lens sometimes , but in general , if you are looking for a small camera with the whole package , the sd500 is the only one you should buy


the creative zen micro is a zen micro killer , not an ipod killer


given that i already have the zen the only reason i am happy with it is because of the notmad software


i ' ve attempted to connect this unit to several different tvs , using a multitude of connection methods , and i still can ' t get a video signal from the machine


another point of note the battery life is incredible !


and , when you think about it , it ' s insulting that norton requires its customers to jump through these hoops anyone who can provide proof of purchase , whether on the phone or online ( what if your computer is down ? ) , should have equal priority


no skips , and it hasn ' t faltered once ( despite your inevitable drop or two


it is buggy , slow and basically frustrates the heck out of the user


this holds alot and does not take up alot of space


and supply those stupid white headphones


( it sure does look nice , though ! ) i recommend this to any music lover anywhere the quality of the audio is excellent , the controls and indicators rapidly become intuitive , and the storage capacity and battery life are huge !


the ipod mini is smaller and sexier , albeit limited in supported formats and the rio karma is a far better value


the nokia 660 runs the symbian os , which works pretty well for most standard phone fare , most of the stuff is not that intuitive , but if you actually learn how to use it all , there ' s plenty of neat tie ins


the new drivers on cannon ' s site do not help at all but try them if you want they have made me have to use the backup software


decently sized screen one of the larger ones on the market at 2


the movie mode can only record a max of 30 seconds at 160x120 per clip and a max of 4 seconds at 640x480


after comparing the included creative earbuds directly against my sony md e828lp ' s and sennheiser mx 400 ' s , i find myself still using the creative ' s , which in my opinion , sound every bit as good and have a slightly longer cord


it ' s a rip off if one buys norton internet security and antivirus


i fell in love with this camera , it combines ease of use , with an immense amount of options and power


got a system error problem 30 days after purchase


picture and video quality is ok


i finally got a free support number for norton through my usp support staff , but waited an hour or more for a voice


excellent range of metering options as well


i hate apex but love amazon , and i tell everyone


there is no odor and it is very easy to use


i try navigating to a chapter past 34 via the menu and it would n ' t do it !


i ' ve owned this router for over 8 years and am somewhat satisfied with it


i left the camera in my car in maine ( not a very hot place ) and the lcd screen cracked !


the setup software did everything


to my amazement , even that process was error prone


i , as many others , have waited for many years for the convergence of price , features , size and ease of use to hit that happy center point


this camera keeps on outfoxing in auto mode with a buzzing sound which can ' t be stopped


also , with one click you can help train your spam killer


holy cow ! it really does scratch easily !


overall the nikon 4300 is a very dependable , robust , and useful little camera


i took it out one day and the lcd was not working


can ' t beat carrying 500 cd collection with me wherever i go


i then tried to set up the router through linksys ' s browser interface , but as the only instructions available tell you to use the installation cd , i had little luck i did manage to connect briefly , but the connection kept dropping , and with no idea of how to resolve that issue , i gave up


i like it ' s shape and it ' s keypad and joystick


it had a heavier and more sturdy casing


even the battery life is great it advertises 14 hours , it ' s actually a little less but still good


i was a little disappointed in the low end


awesome camera with huge print quality in a tiny package


2 ) music organization is based on id3 ( by genre , artist , album , etc ) and this can be a problem for older downloaded music files with missing or incorrect id3 information


after getting used to the m12 all the rest seemed lacking


you ' ll be changing track information a lot because the cd database information utilized by the software is mediocre at best


the battery life seems good , takes very little time to charge , it uploads mp3s quickly and there is no delay between songs


this version of internet security 2004 , is beyond hope


upside this one , like most nokias , receives a consistently strong signal ( i ' ve tried some samsung and sony ericsson models which were very weak on the reception front )


this is somewhat annoying , but from working with computers ( especially windows ugh )


goes 3 days after a charge


the only problem i find with it is that the plunge mechanism will eventually stick due to wood dust


simple to use and hook up


the adobe software also was wonderful in 98 but it will not let you print correctly with xp so you are forced to create your document then either print it from windows or export it to another application


the base was deeper and the highs were crisper


this router was a huge disappointment


besides the one problem , this machine is amazing !


one beef is the scroll , it does n ' t work as well as i ' d like


the setup was a breeze , i had some reservations about a wireless network ( see my review for linksys wet11 ) but this item was on sale as well as the wet11 so i just had to splurge


no line out jack as i said , there is none


smaller size , 1 gb of more space , radio , voice recording , removable battery , cooler look , all in one


some features in the user interface


this camera takes amazing pictures and its size can not be beat


i just uninstalled systemworks and internet security for at least the fifth time due to functionality issues


the earbuds that come with it are n ' t that bad


i tried it again this morning and it said i didn ' t have the required permissions and lacked proper administrator status


i got this camera for an unbelievably low price at amazon


feedback on creative ' s product support is universally poor this is not limited to the zen , it applies to all the company ' s products


5 ) bluetooth wireless technology , so that i can transfer data to and from my computer without messing with any cables


now , the player ' s ear phone jack is not working i have to send it away again


i like to take pictures when i go out at night and perhaps some people would complain that noise levels are high at higher iso ' s but i don ' t really care that much , i think it gives the pictures a certain real life quality


it ' s as though nokia has segregated 90 of the screen for fancy features rarely used and leave just 10 for the day to day use


it ' s great to switch to spot metering and actually see it working on the lcd screen


apex has still not responded to my email describing the problem after almost a week and their customer service line is always busy


applications it has lots of applications and they work very well when you eventually find where they are and they finally open


the one other thing i observed while i had the nomad is that the front cover , which is taken off to have access to the battery , seemed to come undone very easily


great picture quality in automatic mode , quality is great


it does not only have difficulty playing jpegs , it even has trouble properly playing dvd movies


i purchased two of these beauties


even the slightest of the shakes totally distorts your image


after considering my needs further and researching the marketplace , i decided on the s100


i have read the installation instructions for both nis 2004 and navy 2004 prior to installation , but still ended up with the same result junk software


it works great , i am usually at the full 54 mbps , although every now and then that drops to around 36 mbps only because i am 2 floors below where the router is


the 6600 will provide similar service in more developed areas of the states and not as well in more remote areas


you just can ' t go wrong with this one !


if you do n ' t have tags , it ' ll lump all of your tracks into the same directory and they can not be searched via artist or album as the zen does not recognize folders


if you strictly use the lcd and not the view finder , i highly recommend the camera


canon ' s g3 does it consistently


the other controls are all very easy to use


it has a 3x optical zoom , which is average for these cameras


when i turned the phone on , the first thing that hit me is how good the screen is


1 ) it is perhaps too small


the picture rs are amazing


so far i haven ' t had so much complaints except that i still haven ' t mastered how to scandisk when using internet security


i upgraded from an older 801 11b router to the linksys wrt54g for its improved security , and of course , speed


i got about 700 loaded up before it told me i was full , and at that point , i was ready to toss it out the window


i ' ve been pleased with the picture quality and durability in snow , car , boat and wind


mine was so bad i had to to use a hammer to free it ( and this is why i ' m giving it 4 , not 5 stars )


all of this said as it ' s on it ' s way back to amazon , the one song it did include provided far better sound than the ipod


the only way my pc internet works is if i open the firewall program configuration and manually refresh it


much cheaper than i pod good looking player ( beautiful blue back lit screen ) if you ' ve read about the player , some have complained about the lack of a viewing hole for the face when the case is on , but this is good because the face does n ' t get damaged scratched fast transfer rate


since i received the phone , i spent countless hours on the phone with customer service reps who promised t zones would work in 24 hours


it has given me zero problems , and the more i use it , the better i become at taking advantage of its strengths


also as someone who at least knows a little bit about the technical work of taking a photo i really miss having manual controls


nothing has broken on it , and it plays all the dvds i have


it is a little cumbersome to scroll through so many levels to get to the selection you want


i ' ve had this camera just over 2 years and it takes pretty good pictures


my daughter is only 4 months old and we do notice an odor


great design very sleek and touch wheel has still never been successfully copied ( virtual ones are the only competition ) and now the wheel clicks , taking away a lot of headaches from 3rd gen and very navigable in the menus


the way you have to shove your fingers under it and pull is just too tight


so far , the anti spam feature seems to be very good


if you call apple and tell them your ipod has been damaged , they charge you roughly 105 50 per minute and blame you for abusing your ipod


i would however highly recommend the m12v router !


the general button placement is not very user friendly


well , i have an ipod mini and i really like it , but all in all , i like the zen micro more


there is also no voice recording , something most if not all mp3 players have that the ipod doesn ' t


i just purchased this phone and i think this is the coolest phone i ever had


my gut tells me the nomad will in the long run be , at best , a 40gb portable hard drive , albeit one on which i can ' t create folders , or , at worst , a very expensive lesson in companies never to buy products from again ( i have their audigy sound card and find it in many ways equally frustrating )


friends told me that the diaper genie did not work very well , so bought the diaper champ based on on line reviews and i have been happy with it


imagine my disappointment , though , when the zen micro proved able to play only the mega strongest fm signals in my area


great sound ! i was very impressed , i encode at 192 kbps and the audio quality is great , especially with the better headphones


5 the zen does not have a stop button !


nokia makes a great phone , that ' s clear


at first glance , i thought this phone was a little too big for me , maybe a little too complicated


this is truly a clydesdale among the industry 3hp router workhorses


i bought 2 of this model for christmas presents and neither one of them work !


with a quick spin of the dial you can select shutter priority ( for high speed subjects ) , aperture priority ( for focal length ) or full program mode where the camera selects both for ideal photo quality


on occasion i ' m not able to connect to the phone with isync via bluetooth but i found that rebooting the phone seems to solve this problem


the sound is excellent , the battery life is excellent , the fact that the battery is replacable is excellent , and finally the price , 200 cheaper than the 40gb ipod , is excellent


3 ) the case hides the display you have to open it to see what you are doing


also , multiple picture feature is very , very fast


1 the size is a little bit bigger than the ipod , and it weighs a little bit more


its ability to serve as a back up for my music collection is a huge plus


now i know why they are pieces of junk


this is the first phone i know of that has the large bright screen , infrared , bluetooth , usb connector and a speakerphone


i ' ve searched the program and their online tech support ( worthless ) and have found no solutions


anti spam is good


if you are already using a previous version of nortron security and uni stalled it to install the new version , you will still have all kind of problems in installing the new version on your system !


the menus are very easy to navigate


battery life is not long enough if and only if you take a lot of video clips and play it back on the camera a lot of times the camera battery gets a little bit warm too when you use it for a long time but it ' s normal


i ' d give it 4 5 stars if possible , but since 5 stars would be misleading , i give it 4 stars


i replaced it with a router raiser and it works much better


i ' ve yet to find the limitation for this hitachi ( my only hitachi tool , by the way ) and quite frankly , i don ' t know that i have the muscle to push this machine any harder


the dvd door would scratch the top of the disc every time it closed


it ' s very solidly built , and has a nice dense feel to it


it is a bit cumbersome , and i can ' t get to the songs i want as quickly


those used to 35mm cameras will find the g3 very comfortable and friendly to use


i had much of the same problems that everyone else has listed ( mainly the slow processor ) , and then i couldn ' t get the damn thing off my computer completely !


the software is quick easy to use i found the entire process very easily mastered


finally , i gave up and i purchased a router racier


the g3 is loaded with many useful features , and unlike many smaller digital cameras , it is easy to hold steady when using slower shutter speeds


some more manual control would have been nice


i love this camera !


the diaper genie needs it ' s own refill bags in order to work and that ' s just more money that you don ' t have to spend


also included in the games section is the great music trivia option which tests your skill at being able to quickly place your own songs


it is the ' first generation ' of the player , and while i still agree that it is a great alternative to the ipod , i think there are many others that would be a much better value for your buck


i have transferred in about 2 , 400 tracks so far very easy to use both the ipod and itunes


the machine itself seems fine , but the software that came with it is awful


sound quality is wonderful , i really like the smart volume sound normalization


the battery power discharges rapidly especially on using the web browser


considering the price and specs , this might be the best buy out there for a large memory mp3 player


apple still does it better but needs to come out with a 5 gig mini


this is a wonderful camera


cons difficult to open to change bag twice my bags caught on a sharp edge inside and snagged as i was pulling out leaving dirty diapers all over the floor


creative has put a lot of effort into making this player appeal to those true geeks that search for coolness and functionality in electronic devices


is it necessary to scan my ms money database when i close the program ?


the transmission speed is also quite good , with pages loading very quickly


sometimes , various applications crash


there are 3 computers in my house all getting wireless connection from this router , and everybody is happy with it


sure they say if it ' s their fault you won ' t get charged , but they are the ones who get to decide whether it ' s their fault


progressive scan player for a relatively low price ( although the better known manufacturers like toshiba , pioneer , and panasonic are now offering lower priced progressive scan players as well )


the locations of various buttons on one side or the other is somewhat illogical


i have a canon a 70 , and now this sd500 , its amazing , how this little camera produces , such great pics , it even brings out ur pimples on the face


you also need to go in and manually remove many symantec files from the registry


10 great price for all the features


this makes no sense and sort of defeats the purpose of audio bookmarks


3660 had similar features , but that is big in size


this is not an enterprise piece of hardware that you will find in an office or corporate environment


the nokia 6600 is a great phone , good games , good camera


they claim to respond in a 24 hour period yet it ' s been 2 weeks without a reply


2 it is easy enough for my grandmother to use


in fact , each of my creative mp3 players had software problem in the first place


took hundreds of pictures and they were great


i hope you have a magnifying glass , because the number displayed as well as most of the pop up options are tiny


if your looking for a great sounding mini player , you can ' t go wrong with the zen micro


we can start by losing the shiny miracle material cover that you can literally scratch just by looking at it wrong , and thus eliminate the need for third party asking protective covers for an extra thirty bucks


the songs recorded with fm are as good as the original signal


you can ' t change the battery , so i don ' t know what i ' m going to do in a year or so


the soft start is a tremendous help for this type of operation


but for now it appears that this player does n ' t play well with itunes


the first night i got this phone i put it next to me when i went to bed just to listen to my favorite music station and the handset itself doesnt weight anything its too light and feel so comfy with it


very annoying


the nokia 6600 is a decent extension of the smart phone line


the only problem is that occasionally the joystick does start to dig into your thumb while gaming


but , if you ' re looking for my opinion of the apex dvd player , i love it !


the touchpad is annoying sometimes ( give me the click wheel and pres sable buttons any day ) , but not at all as difficult to get over as other people are saying


if you ' ll only read the whole manual , you ' ll find out even more cool features and you ' ll learn how to manipulate the quality you want to achieve and all those modes will make sense after reading


apparently , t mobile is heavily back logged and can ' t keep up with demands


the fact that you can assign ringtones to people and or groups is really cool


this is ridiculous


i found it very useful for transferring large files to another computer


warning ! the windows remove program feature does not do a good job of this , and neither does norton ' s own removal program


the focus is great , though , if you are not taking a macro shot


i did see the review here and other places about a cracked lcd screen


whether you are a novice or an expert , its ease of use and functionality goes together


also if you do manage to get it installed , any problems with liveupdate or with system works will also affect the functionality and or the process of updating internet security


loved the slim design


creative zen feedback suffers from construction quality , poor product support , difficulty of using the scroll wheel and reasonably consistent feedback about problems with the headphone jack


it ' s so small


it took several days of attempts before things finally worked again and i have n ' t a clue why


the computer interface is 90 good , only losing points due to the fact that creative branding is all over the place within it


the nomad zen could use a little sturdier construction like the archos jukeboxes or some kind of shock resistant case


the pc sync feature is superb that comes with nokia pc suite software ( with data cable or infrared port or bluetooth )


now this router is not the cheapest on the market


i just went on a quick photo shoot in nyc ' s central park today , and what a bunch of beautiful photos i took , if i do say so myself ( and i do ! )


a larger memory card and extra battery are good things to buy


very simple to use


but my biggest gripe is still the extremely ugly design


it is just a tad small to hold to your ear with your shoulder , but that is solved with the very comfortable handsfree ear piece which is included


nice machines , but i consider their quality pretty low now


it is crystal clear


i ' d give it 5 stars if the automatic modes were better and if there were true manual focus and exposure modes


i purchased this over the ipod mini because it had several nice features extra 1g storage , wma support , replaceable battery , and especially that it wasn ' t an apple product with their proprietary architecture


after a week i tried to load some more songs and delete a few but the auto load didn ' t do anything but turn on my player


with all its complicated features , the menus are easily accessible and the quality of the features is great


was a bit wary because the software is windows only and i have an mac


i enthusiastically recommend this camera


unfortunately , i sold it exactly a month later


i use the router with a 3 1 2in raised panel bit with no problems


the little bag it comes with is cheap and useless


the stand that comes with it is very useful to prop it up on the desk


my ipod freezes occasionally , which is especially annoying when you ' re in the middle of a game of brick


the volume range is great , so you can blast it if you want


in noisy environment , it ' s hard to hear from the earpiece


very easy to use for someone like me who ' s just hopping on the digital camera bandwagon


the problems i had installing norton extended way beyond what symantec should reasonably expect the public to deal with


i was more excited about this player upon opening than i was about the nomad


it would have been much nicer if it had a window so you could see the screen , and if the button did n ' t cover up the ac jack


i still need to read up on some of the security settings , etc to fully understand all that ' s up there , but bottom line is that the installation was like night and day compared to the speed boost router


there will be much erasing of text as , one would tend to type something instead of the actual letters


the extra gb of hard rive space , remove able battery and fm tuner , as well as the fact that i was previously a satisfied owner of the nomad ii put it over the top for me


after i had it a couple weeks , it got into a state where it could never find the device , no matter how often i rebooted my pc , reset the device , reloaded drivers , etc , etc creative ' s online support was no help at all


( we wrap them nice and tight ) we use our regular kitchen trash bags cheap !


i ' d recommend this is you want to wireless network your laptop , but if you want to wirelessly network a couple desktops together you might want to wait until linksys improves their desktop software hardware


i almost always get a good strong signal , even in fairly remote areas here in the southwest


however , my hard drive did fail , and i have not dropped it once


the sound is just fine


when the player was working it was great , but


its not a perfect system but its a very good one


the sd500 has only been in my possession for a little over 3 months , and the lcd has been broken twice


3 ) the nomad explorer ( winxp style interface ) works well to transfer files back and forth to use the nomad as an external although the tech support web site states that the primary intended purpose of the player is as a player


it ' s not the heaviest around ( i think porter cable has that distinction ) , but i found its combination of weight and power really too much to allow precise handheld operation


you can even use the ipod to store files from your pc and export your outlook files to it


2 ) not very ergonomically you ' ll find even for a point and shoot lens )


this is a very light phone a little less than 3 oz , with long battery life ( not as long as the new polymer technology )


kind of bulky and the wheel is awkward , but i can deal with that


its fast forward and rewind work much more smoothly and consistently than those of other models i ' ve had


however , symantec has taken a significant turn for the worse with this release


sound quality is great , fm tuner is fine , as is the recorder


00 good though , and the zen does have a few drawbacks


6 small but very clear tft screen


the only thing i did experience was a problem of the player freezing while playing , which i was able to clear by opening it up and blowing it out with canned air


the best 4 megapixel 4x optical zoom camera available and fairly easy to use


too difficult to change genre album track information for large number of tracks


once you set it up , it ' s great


that ' s when it went from oder less , to odorous !


whether you ' re taking a brisk jog , waiting for a bus or just having lunch at the park , you ' ll be glad you had the fm radio


the dvd player does not work properly


whether you are using disposable or cloth diapers , this is the truly the only diaper pail to get !


software downloads on the site crashed my pc


they were easy to setup with plenty of power to hog through anything i have encountered


although i find it more convenient to use 1 touch dialing , this phone does not have voice dialing


when i saw a high gain ( low price ) antenna was available to the wrt54g router , i thought i ' d happily give up some ( practically unattainable anyway , since you ' ve got to be in spitting distance from the router ) speed in favor of wider coverage


who wants to pay 30 to discuss a defect in a product that just cost 95 ? ( i also bought the back up cd )


it has raised the bar owing to number of features it offers and the absolute ease of use delight


overall , a very disappointing product


we take this camera with us everywhere and are constantly amazed at the quality of the pictures that we get and the number of different ways the camera allows for pictures to be taken


norton has been on a downhill slid recently with their products , but with this one , they have fallen off the cliff


just a little overview , powershot g3 is the flagship of canon ' s powershot series and its an slr like camera , its 4 megapixel and ( almost ) full manual control gives the pictures a touch of brilliance


got way too many blurry pictures


at any rate , if you have been interested in digital photography but the price and confusion have held you back , consider the canon s100 digital elph


norton online support does not even acknowledge this problem nor does the computer company that preloaded it on our new computer


the height is a more convenient reach than others , where you have to hunch over


you need the software to actually transfer files


the ones i ' ve kept ( porter cables , dew alts , bosch , and this hitachi ) have proven their worth over the years , however , when i need a real workhorse , i grab this router


creative labs customer support website is useless


i own this phone for about 6 months now , i have used the following features bluetooth connection to laptop and desktop for sync contacts and calendars with outlook , transfer files ( movies , songs ) , i have many movies on it now with a 512mb memory card that it takes


typically , the problem is the headphone jack it was for me and many others


touch ups , redeye , and so on are very easy to alter , and correct


maybe this new design is more durable than the last , but i kind of doubt it


because this camera is beautiful


i have sent my ad2600 back to apex because it wo n ' t play certain disney and other dvd movies ( no disc message )


they take excellent macro shots as well


some adjustments in the settings could help make it better


the battery is removable


norton support is completely pathetic


it has everything i needed bluetooth , infrared , support for mmc , camera , and a good operating system with lots of supporting software


what the hell is wrong with this thing


utility its got a huge list of features including an fm recorder a calender and contacts list


and , other else , the camera is still vga


t mobile was a pretty good server


the player itself has all sorts of problems


sound quality excellent , everything you would expect from this company


i tried to call norton , and the only numbers they list on their sites are either for non tech customer service ( tried this one and hung up after 75 minute of muzak ) or they have a 30 tech support number


you actually can talk to a real person for support in under an hour ! )


it is not a perfect product but it does have a lot going for it


the software interface supplied was very easy to use but i went ahead and got red chair ' s notmad software because of some advanced features i wanted


the on off button feels somewhat flimsy , and has an awkward , tiny little lock out button that needs to be depressed to turn on the camera


absolutely no problems with this router


if it weren ' t so big i would probably by another since no shop is complete without a handful of routers


the unit is easy to use and intuitive


the setup process for the nomad is infuriating , and the interface with the player is sub par


i bought this slick phone and i am very happy with it


the eq is awful , and even at top volumes , the bass is flat sounding


i have only had this camera for one full day and i have to say that it is wonderful


i would imagine this is a problem with any camera of a compact nature


it fits into a hand well , it has a removable battery ( this is important ) , great sound quality , fm stereo , recorder , smooth ui , and a feature that most uni pods lack char !


if you think you are saving 40 getting the hitachi , you are right , and you are also getting a router worth 40 less than a makita


huge storage space even at 320kbs , you can store a ton of songs on this thing


also , the fit and finish could be better although this doesn ' t detract from performance


looks and shape i have a black one and the first time i charged it and switched it on jeez the blue light looked so cool


navigation is a bit tricky and takes getting used to but the included pdf instructions cover the operation pretty well


before you run out and buy an ipod , understand something there are reasons the zen is worth encountering this kind of hassle , principally excellent ( for mp3 ) sound quality


i also put a bend in the wrench so i can remove and install bits from the top of the table


it definitely keeps the smell out


also much less stinky


3 play java games on it


but those 2 come up every time


the sound quality is excellent , except , maybe a tad too quiet at times when there are quieter talkers on the other end of the line


also , the earbuds that came with it sound great but are uncomfortable ( although my wife didn ' t have a problem ) , so i bought a pair of over the ear headphones


the canon computer software used to download , sort , upload and manage your digital pictures on the computer is very nice and very easy to use


it does not have an auto focus assist light which is nice for taking shots in low light situations it allows the camera to focus in low light


and the firewall came with a wizard which made it effortless to configure it to my lan


in fact , it caused my system to hang more times than not , so i uninstalled it and stuck with mediasource 100


sound quality was the same between the two , but the zen did have more sound adjustments with the normal eax features


1 pictures taken in an indoor setting are a little dull and rarely hazy if you tend to take photographs from a distance


am i ever glad that i decided on this camera !


quite simply , the firmware and or the os that control this thing is not ready for prime time


by cocking the shutter to the halfway position and getting the settings ready to shoot , i was able to produce excellent stop action photos contrary to what other reviewers experienced


it would just spin up and stop , and display no disc


just want a wireless router for home or your very small business , you can just get a wrt54g from here and configure it


the only thing i don ' t like is the small size ( 8 meg ) memory card that comes with it


5 excelent software package


no in box accessories an arm strap , belt strap , case , or anything would be nice , but nope moveable parts this makes me almost want to keep my 3rd gen over a 4th with moveable parts , its easy to damage an ipod at a gym , so this is for more casual listeners note the ipod mini doesn ' t have moveable parts and is made of titanium


as for itunes , i don ' t find it to be as good as the windows media player as a computer mp3 player , but it is good enough


f ) it doesnt look pretty spending this kind of cash , you want something that has the aesthetics bit down , of course


we just recently had to buy another roll of bags so 6 00 for a year of bags can ' t beat that ! !


after using it for just a month , i could not play any dvd


i love this product !


one other issue is that the headphone jack is unique to nokia , so standard headphones will not work


i ' ve had this beauty for nearly 2 months now and i truely love it


the front door is miss aligned on my unit and you have to manually life it up just so slightly for the door to close , a very annoying thing after ah wile


i use this with a home theater system and it ' s amazing how it sounds , the picture clarity is unmatched !


it only read the dvds 10 of the time , otherwise i would get a no disc screen


get great themes and wallpapers for this phone and many many polyphonic rings


tech support from apex is literally nonexistent


the optical and digital zooms combine to give an effective 4x zoom


one downside though is that autofocus does not work well when battery is low


we have been using our diaper champ for almost 14 months now and we are very happy with it


my last simpler nokia started right up and was immediately ready for use


in the hands of someone who does n ' t , it will yield good results on idiot program auto mode


even when i set it to low , it ' s still very hard for me to adjust the player to where and what i want it to do


i also love that you can flip the device with one hand


the last problem i found with this camera was the macro function


equipment included is average , but that is n ' t a big deal since thats not what you are buying it for


after less than 24 hours it turned out to be a huge disappointment , for myself and for my parents , for whom it was a gift


handset quality is great , as is the speakerphone quality and the headset audio quality


the second lasted about two weeks before the video went out !


nokia does not disappoint in this model


i send my camera to nikon for servicing , took them a whole 6 weeks to diagnose the problem


i use the scented bags and even if i don ' t no smell !


it played only one out of three dvd ' s without problems , the other two being afflicted by a number of glitches


i felt better with this one since it had the shuffle feature and i ' m not too keen on www ipod ' s dirty secret com


2 the scroll button is n ' t the best , as it sometimes can be hard to select


for a price that ' s still less than even the lowest level ipod i was able to get this 40gb monster , and the best part is it works as great as it was advertised to and then some


have tried to contact apex via e mail ( customerservice apexdigital com ) , but the e mail address is not valid


it ' s a great looking , easy to use device but it ' s the sound quality which is truly amazing far better than my sony mini disc player


however , it needs to be quite quiet for it to work at all dosn ' t work at all in the car , for example


as i mentioned in my first paragraph , it supports wpa security , which is far superior to wep


after reading reviews of lcd problems , cracked , black blobs etc , i figured that it was probably a very limited problem


it works well with my vip adapter , which is also a linksys


its steel backing picks up fingerprints and scratches easily , not great from a cosmetic standpoint


overall it is a great value


i was unable achieve a sound quality on par with my simple portable cd player with bass boost


for instance , i made several back ups of my dvd movies using dvd r ( w ) and r ( w ) and it plays the dvds


what the g3 raw image software gives you is a fantasy world designed to please the uncritical


the zen plays mp3 , wma and wave formats , which makes it more versatile than the ipod


the remote is a little hard to understand


one cabinet shop has been using one regularly in a router table for 11 years without a problem


unfortunately i was wrong


this is my first digital camera and i can say that i am quite impressed with the features that it has


the included memory card is too small


the sound quality is fantastic ( cd quality ) and it is really great to carry this around instead of stacks of cd ' s or tapes !


and the remote is cheap and ch easy not sure how long it ' ll last , but for 50 bucks what the heck !


compared to musicmatch , the software has a better filing system and easier to use


they will not respond to my emails ( promised turnaround time is 24 hours ) and the phone line is constantly busy


as opposed to the nomad ii or any other flash based player , the songs load extremely fast about one or two seconds per song


it constantly drops the internet connection and simple things like walls in our house block the link so everything is very slow


1 ) slr like programming and exposure control gives you latitude to be creative , yet its program and auto exposure settings provide excellent photos if you do n ' t want to bother with the settings


b ) the lens cover is surely loose , i already accidently finger printed the len a few times , and au lens ti gt and cause potential damage


now that i have all my music on it there has n ' t been any more problems


although i disabled norton antispam , it is still there


the menus are easy to navigate and the buttons are easy to use


i couldn ' t get the install wizard to work


the battery on mine lasts 2 days if i don ' t play games that much , and it only takes 90 mins to charge from flat


however , configuration of my system and actual setup of the router for wireless use took me more than 3 hours , and briefly made me reconsider my choice to for ego the airport and its notoriously easy setup


i particularly like the txt file which records all the control information for all the pictures you take


however , i suspect that many people are having a bad experience do not purchase this product


the apex 2600 has been a steady performer for me


all i have to say is that i did freeze on me once , but it has n ' t done it since


i got the diaper champ because of the great reviews as well as the fact that you can use regular garbage bags


it sounds decent , but i would estimate you get maybe 80 of the quality that you would from a true line out jack


the software included is an easy installation and you have the option of using the creative software , windows media player 10 , or simply windows explorer to move music back and forth between your zen touch


my only significant complaint is sound quality


in conclusion , i gave the ipod a 4 5 because anything this expensive should would work just about flawlessly


i purchased a jukebox , it got fried while being recharged , they asked for 20usd just to look at it and said that they would charge me for reaping the damned thing


the sound quality is excellent , accessing the music is easy , and the controls are generally well thought out


but not good enough for me


otherwise , i am extremely please with the creative zen micro 5gb mp3 player


the headphones which came with it are mediocre at best but what can you expect from a set of ear buds


great camera , and for the price you can ' t beat it


well , my second one is now beginning to hi cup a bit after about 1 1 2 years


picture quality in outdoor settings is indistinguishable from 35mm


i thought given all the 10 reviews about this camera that i would buy it in spite of being a bit pricey


other than that , the simian series 60 os is great and offers lots of proprietary software that will work on your phone if you ' re willing to hunt for it


i have to move pictures off of it every day so i have room for more pictures the next , and i don ' t have enough money to buy the 256 meg card that i ' ve had my eye on for a while


i highly recommend this phone to anyone


still , that ' s enough time that i ' m still satisfied , if a bit grouchy with creative ' s over hyped promises


huge storage space , i loaded my entire collection of music , which isnt that much , 400 songs , and still have 26 gb , out of the 28 provided to you


the lens is visible in the viewfinder when the lens is set to the wide angle , but since i use the lcd most of the time , this is not really much of a bother to me


the eax settings are somewhat superfluous but not really a negative


this player is not worth any price and i recommend that you do n ' t purchase it


the interface has a sassier flair and the blue lit trimming is an added bonus


we bought this about 6 months ago and it ' s been worthless


4mp , 4x optical zoom , takes absolutely beautiful photos with detail that challenges all of the above 5mp cameras , easy to understand and use ( has a great swivel lcd screen ) , a lot of features and add on options , comes with great software ( not to be overlooked ) , and last but by far not least , received my fiance ' s stamp of approval ( two thumbs up ! )


3 ) it does not work automatically like a hard drive when you connect it to your computer , like some players


i ' ve printed several photos and the prints look as good as the screen views


if you are new to the market and looking to buy a symantec software product , save yourself some money and buy the 2003 version


battery life is ok


putting the micro into your pocket could trigger just about anything ( unless the hold feature is improved it asks if you want to unholy for every button up press ) second , i ' m worried about the durability of the player


and so far have not had any problems with dvds not being able to play


it ' s important that people know the following first , the interface is slow


11 ) minimal pause between songs less than that on other devices good achievement for a hard drive based player


now the bad 1 ) as usual , battery power not sufficient for daily usu age


with the ipod , you can also store documents and contact files ( from programs such as microsoft outlook ) when it ' s connected to your pc as an external hard drive


well flash photos are never great , and there was still a lot of noise


they are extremely convent and you don ' t have to buy them seperately has i tunes , which provides quality music at low prices


where close to 12 hours but at least it is replaceable ( and they included a second one free )


having done all this , i was quite pleased to see that all corners i needed were decently covered by the signal


but , sometimes , if the champ is too full , the flip handle won ' t function


i find all of the controls well placed and not flimsy in the least


the included headphones suck , so get your own


navigation is easy and i found that syncing files from the player to the computer ( and vice verse ) was easy too


as with most headphones that come with any type of music player , i recommend throwing these into the nearest river , unless you like having hard , round pieces of plastic in your ears


the color and light i captured with this camera on a 12 day trip to turkey ( gorgeous vividly colored ceramic tiles inside darkened mosques ) were far superior to anything i ' ve ever gotten with a traditional 35 mm film camera


the vibration is not top


but at the same time , it takes wonderful pictures very easily in auto mode , so that even an average joe like me can use it !


i still like it a lot and am not changing it for another , but it is sort of stinky


it is no more heavy than any other powerful router and not as bad as some porter cable models i tried


this program would not let me send outlook email or listen to audible sample books online


otherwise , it takes very good pictures shutter delay is n ' t so bad either


just the home version of norton internet av has too many glitches and problems to even remotely bother with


the pictures are tack sharp , colors are vivid , and at 7 mega pixels the quality is plenty high to manipulate and crop images to your hearts desire


so , right out of the box i had issue


after a lengthy and extensive journey for a feature loaded , high performance , travel size camera , i initially gravitated to this little gem because of the superior picture quality 4 mega pixel


also , for some reason the picture looks washed out on s video , with lots of color bleeding , compared to a component connection ( should not be much of a perceptible difference on a 27 tv )


way less expensive than the ipod


then when i went to norton ' s website to obtain a priority id number per the instructions i had been given , i couldn ' t find a way to get one


its compact and has rounded edges


i could hardly use it without a recharge in 2 days !


i was surprised to find that not only could this dvd player play mpeg2 format which allowed me to stack 2 movies on a dvd , but it also was able to play vb files which i created with smart ripper


after installation , the very first time i booted up the creative mediasource organizer , intending to use its cd burning and ripping functions , it totally shorted out


when it came down to it , the price on this player is hard to beat


once again it won ' t reinstall , even with online and email assistance from symantect technicians


some features that the ' zen micro ' has that sold me on my purchase include a 5g hard drive actually an sd flash card drive very large and much more than actually needed , the ability to sync with microsoft outlook ' s calendar , the long battery life of about 10 to 12 hours ( i can change the battery myself for about 40 to buy vs


even on the low sensitive level , a slight touch can skip or pause the track


that ' s it for now , what are you doing still reading this , click the add to cart button already !


this is only a problem at night , during the day the screen is very easy to see


hate to wait between shots


software music match jukebox is n ' t the greatest , the search function is n ' t fast even when accessing it with the hot key shortcut


it is currently permanently mounted ( 3 years now ) in my router table and will most likely stay there until its shot


two , the single wrench just doesn ' t work well


don ' t worry this player rocks


1 ) quite bulky ( it ' s about the same size as my minolta vectors s 1 aps slr ) and uses a heavy battery , although not very solid as it is contracted mostly of plastic ( unlike canon ' s elph line )


it works better and has more useful features than nis 2003


though nearly a dozen different people at both t mobile and nokia have told me otherwise , it is simply not possible to use this phone as a bluetooth modem for the vast majority of pdas and many other devices


i didnt get ipod because i dont especially like itunes ( no music i want , but thats just me ) and the creative product was cheaper and i needed to be able to use wma files


as a computer , or pda its weak since the screen , while large by phone standards , is still tiny to really do anything on


comments overall this is still a great value , but is kind of overrated in the sense that there are beater deals on the market


some people have commented about the size and weight of the phone , and it has rightfully gotten the nick name the bar of soap which , it really is


i like the automatic key lock function


also , the carrying case that came with mine covers up the display , so even though the side controls are reachable , i have to open it up to see the display


but overall this is a good camera with a ' really good ' picture clarity an exceptional close up shooting capability


2 ) phone is awfully slow


what an upgrade ! ! !


finally , after about a week ' s use , the screen started to freeze on me


the speaker phone is very functional and i use it in the car , very audible even with freeway noise


i thought it was just the player , but then i started checking the discs to find that the apex 2600 is actually ruining my media


it has great incredibility


i originally gave this camera 5 stars when i had windows 98 it was wonderful but i got a new computer last november with xp the usb software is soho not compatible with xp


the moveable lcd screen is great


the colors on the screen are not as crisp as i ' d have liked them to be


the optical zoom works great and the 14x digital zoom is a very nice addition although pictures at the highest digital zoom are a little blurry


battery life is about 1 4 of that advertised , no operators manual available for any of the nomad zen players ( on or off line ) , occasional software lockups , replacement battery is expensive


my two main requirements were longer battery life and lower price i found both


the interface took a little getting used to


probably a great phone overall , and perhaps mine just has bugs


the inside pics , can be a bit challenging , but when you can instantly delete pics you dont like , that are not focused perfectly , or need lighting adjustments , make this camera very simple and effective


i have not played with all the features yet , but the camera is easy to use once you get used to it


the only beef that i have with it is that there is a little too much slop in the columns when the lock is not engaged


this is the mp3 player with everything i need as long as it lasts me a good three years , i ' m satisfied


the box included a little polyester , pull string bag , ( yes , you read right a bag , something a boy would carry ten marbles in ) and tries to pass it off as the case


other than that , this is a perfect phone for those of us with no patience for flips


my only complaint would be that you need id3 tags that takes a while to do if your mp3 files do n ' t have them


sound quality ? phenomenal


the ms scandisk would appear due to manual shutdown and would only scan to the 2nd bar , over and over ( up to 1 hr , i then shut it down and used go back )


other mp3 players won ' t give you the sonic clarity of the zen at this compression level , so i imagine they won ' t at lower ones , either


while transferring songs to the player , the interface has crashed a few times ( 4 5 times in a 4 5 hour period ) normally this would cause me major concern , but it appears that this bug is reproducible , which leads me to believe that creative will fix it with a patched version shortly ( or maybe it ' s just my computer )


1 ) the champ is easy to use


i do here a constant high pitched distorted sound , not to mention the volume does not seem to be loud enough


this is by far the finest camera in its price and category i have ever used


i really regret signing up with t mobile , but i ' m stuck with them for the next 6 months of the contract


for the most part this is a good dvd player


the scroll bar problems make the task of creating playlists more frustrating


power for the tech savvy , ease of use for the less fortunate


i can ' t rate it one star only because when it does work it ' s pretty good


well , this apex dvd player turned out great !


the cons are n ' t really a big deal to me except one con that does annoy me is the way it stores files no folder structure and it ' s based on the title of the songs many of my songs where separated into folders ( on the pc ) and a few had same titles so i had to change the titles to make sure that i did n ' t have any that might be the same as another


sorts music by artist , album , genre , etc it ' s easy to wade through 5 gigs of tunes to find what you ' re looking for


the player has its minor glitches like for example when i turn it on , 60 percent of the time , it sis , shutting down , which means i have to turn off , and turn it on again , which is not to my likings


for the zen creative focused on packaging which looked well thought out , well presented and easy to open and put back together


now there is one more complaint i have about the g3 and that is the software that comes with it for processing raw images ( i only shoot in raw image mode and the first thing i did was replace the 32 mbyte cf with a 512 mbyte cf , which gives me 130 raw images , as opposed to 7 !


i ' m not overly fond of green but when i used this hitachi m12v it turns out that now i ' m very fond of it


shortly after i brought it , the plunging shafts started sticking


being a very economical person , i appreciate the fact that any plastic bag can be used with this system i never did like the prospect of buying special diaper genie refills


i tried calling the support number for a week , several times a day , and always got a busy signal


glad to see the ed revised the previous statements regarding image quality


bookmarks for example , are an excellent feature but not on this player


remote you can stand it on end ( harder to lose ) , and it ' s far better designed than the 1100s


you can disable some of the individual components , but don ' t be fooled they ' re still there and running


i got a 1gb mmc upgrade for this phone and now i can


the software failed repeatedly


what makes the focus lock lag time something i can live with is the extreme depth of field obtainable with these point and shoot digicams at f8


also , the instruction manual is very bad


this player has worked flawlessly for me and at this price , you can ' t go wrong


the video recorders a bit odd , sometimes i get 9 secs on my recordings , sometimes i get 17


which is really nice because you can get pretty much any piece of music in midi format for free on the net


have tried calling ( 866 4apexgo ) , but can ' t get through


the sound is great , the portability , etc all the stuff you expect from a good mp 3 player , this zen micro has it


i tried to do this by instinct and it ' s not intuitive unless you are a network geek


there seem to be fewer collisions and dropped packets as i read from the router logs than with my old dlink router


another thing you should know , the metal on the flip side of the ipod is very tacky , and scratches very easily


zen allows you to scroll up and down the song list selected on the player


i have trashed this product on other opinion sites based on this major flaw alone


we lysol the champ every time we change the bag out and have not had any problems


you ' ll do that because the keys are tightly packed in and your fingers will likely press two keys at once


the design of the col lets is excellent and far exceeds any of the craft man ( toy junk ) routers i have previously purchased


this was obviously a conspiracy as it is freak in ' easy to manufacture a device with replaceable batteries ! !


one of my favorite features about the player is its ability to sync to windows media player


the only con i can think of is the lack of a mega pixel camera


the pictures are absolutely amazing the camera captures the minutest of details


i was some what sceptically when i seen the price deference between the other makers of comparable hp


the phone book is very user friendly and the speakerphone is excellent


most of us just want to plug and play , not spend a year navigating a maze of complicated options like transfering everything on a hard drive to this stupid thing


i love this player and am extremely happy with my decision
