My Third Constant Companion

Fri, 11 May 2001 00:03:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - I've wanted something color in my pocket for a long time. While I loved my Professional, IIIx, and Vx, I lusted after color handhelds. My lust for a color Palm hit its crescendo upon the arrival of the Handspring Prism. Brand loyalty, the...

A great camera for capturing special moments

Sun, 21 Jan 2001 15:20:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - I loved my Epson 750Z. It was the first digital camera I had ever owned that had a zoom. I was so happy about that, that everything else was just a little annoyance. The serial connection, the overall size, and the relatively slow shutter speed meant...

Three words: Good Cheap Scanner

Sun, 21 Jan 2001 14:58:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - I can be considered to be an HP groupie. I have two HP printers, an HP scanner, and HP CDR drive, and I'm currently lusting after an HP Jornada 548, so it's no secret that the first scanner I've owned that's worth owning in a long time is an HP also...

The "Eye" has it

Sat, 2 Dec 2000 22:10:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - Quick everyone… Bash Microsoft! But leave me out of it.

The three best pieces of hardware that have ever been hooked up to my computer have been made by the much maligned king of desktop operating systems, and my Intellimouse is one of them.

Palm V Modem: A connection everywhere

Sat, 2 Dec 2000 22:07:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - Most people want to be connected. The simple fact is that in the age of phones, pagers, PDA’s, the internet, etc., we want reassurance that our information is carried with us and the ability to communicate is along for the ride.

Enter the Palm V...

My NEW Constant Companion

Sat, 2 Dec 2000 22:04:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - There’s a reason that Palm is the undisputed king of portable handheld computers. The reason, to anyone who has owned one is completely apparent to anyone who has. Style never takes a back seat to function.

While the Palm Vx is a style freak,...

5,160 different phones all in one

Sat, 16 Sep 2000 23:09:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - Nokia is a smart company. They come out with a winning software design (i.e. the 6100 series) and then run with it, changing nothing more than the shape. My first phone in Nokia's revolution was the Nokia 6160, and right now I own an 8290. While much...

Nokia keeps on rocking

Wed, 13 Sep 2000 22:54:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - To the fine citizens of the New York city area, the arrival of Voicestream in NYC to replace Omnipoint means one thing, and so far they've delivered dramatically: newer, better, and more stylish phones. Whereas Omnipoint made the mistake of dumping...

Nokia 8890 GSM Cellular Phone: Why does anyone else even make phones

Tue, 12 Sep 2000 23:00:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - Sometimes a company finds a groove, and frankly I think Nokia is one of those companies.

It was purely a hunch that my friend would loan me his shiny new toy. It was pure joy when he actually did. Not that my phone is so huge (I have a...

They should call it the "Top"icana

Fri, 1 Sep 2000 14:25:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - I have to say this up front. These are the things that I am not:

1. Rich

2. A "High Roller"

3. Picky about my hotel

4. A big spender

That being said, I have to say that I love Atlantic City. If you...

If you're on the road back, this is your car

Fri, 1 Sep 2000 11:10:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - I have read tons of bad stuff about Aria on epinions. Some of it just needs to be thrown away immediately. In my dealings with them so far, I've found them to be one of the easiest companies that I do business with, and my experiences with the Persona...

The right bank is everything

Mon, 28 Aug 2000 15:56:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - Unlike most normal people I do not have anything close to a nine-to-five job. The fact of the matter is I have no time whatsoever to deal with a bank, be it going there to make a deposit/withdrawal, waiting for my paycheck to clear, or any of the other...

MPTrip MP3-CD Player: Economically and musically it rocks...

Wed, 23 Aug 2000 23:50:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - On one hand you have one of my "Love it" products; the Diamond Rio 500.

On the other hand, you have a new addition to my collection o' toys the Genica MPtrip.

The RIO cost me $200 and includes 64 megs of onboard RAM and can be...

My last phone for awhile

Thu, 17 Aug 2000 22:39:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - Anyone who reads my reviews on a regular basis knows my specialty is in the wireless field. I've written more reviews on wireless phones than anything else. The sheer number of reviews proves that I am quite picky when picking out a phone. I've...

ScourExchange: I love Napster, er, Scour!

Thu, 3 Aug 2000 00:35:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - Napster is just about gone from us and now it is time to look for alternate ways to get music from the internet. What to do? Gnutella is useless if you have anything slower than the internet backbone itself running through your house, so you need...

Apple pie, Hot Dogs, the Corvette, The Star Tac?!?

Sat, 22 Jul 2000 13:58:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - It always amazes me the things that stand the test of time. The things I mention in the title are just that: Products/Items that have, no matter what direction society has gone, stood the test of time.

The Motorola StarTac is not a new...

If only we could give 10 stars!

Sat, 15 Jul 2000 11:07:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - At the ripe old age of 24 I have begun to consider myself somewhat of a video-game nostalgist. I liked the old games very much and sometimes the new stuff just doesn't get me going the way getting to level eight after playing Super Mario Brothers for 12...

Peter Who?

Sun, 9 Jul 2000 12:39:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - I have to start this review off by saying that Peter Luger's may make the greatest steak in the world and that's all well and good. But for the wait, the cost, and the average cost of a dinner running around $55, I'll stay away...

So where...

Internet power, sexy package (CHANGE FROM ORIGINAL)

Thu, 6 Jul 2000 22:48:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - You can't say enough about a sleek looking phone that fits nicely in your hand, has a decent battery life, a derth of features, access the internet, AND costs less than a hundred bucks.

I love this phone. I had been considering a two-way...

Forget Crack. This is true addiction

Sun, 4 Jun 2000 00:26:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - When I go online at 11:30PM and see my grandfather online I don't have to think too hard to know what he's doing. He's playing Slingo. In fact, so is my father.

I guess that's proof positive of how wonderfully addictive this game is.

Panasonic CT 27G24 27 in. 27 in. Standard Television: Believe me... You'll love it.

Wed, 31 May 2000 22:00:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - My foray into the world of home theatre has begun rather slowly. I first purchased a new VCR from Sony, and then decided that the time had come to bite the bullet and buy a DVD player.

Without going into too much detail, you need an S-Video...

Microtek SlimScan C3 Flatbed Scanner: You really do get what you pay for...

Tue, 30 May 2000 00:35:15 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - Let's make one point really clear:

You get what you pay for.

I don't know why I refuse to get this through my head, but eventually if I get dropped on my head enough times, maybe I'll learn.

I had a scanner that died, and...

Blue Mountain Arts eCards: Hallmark, take note...

Tue, 30 May 2000 00:08:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - Hallmark, your days are numbered. I have seen the future.

And it is at http://www.bluemountainarts.com

Online greetings? Aren't they tacky, cheesy, and whatever else?

Well actually, no. In fact, they're no more...

Burn baby burn...

Mon, 29 May 2000 23:36:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - I finally did it. After endless debating and "research," I decided to buy a CDRW realizing that the time had come to move on in some ways from my ZIP drive. While I can't get rid of my ZIP (it's become way too useful at this point), I can't...

Long live digital...

Mon, 29 May 2000 23:17:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author VincenzoSI - In an age of highly overrated products with their share of hype and more than their share of shortcomings, it's nice to see a product that works as advertised for a change.

The Diamond Rio 500 is a brilliant piece of electronic engineering...
