Can't Have Everything

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:45:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - *UPDATE*Just a few things I forgot: The radio has selectable options to choose between US and European tuning frequencies. The bluetooth can only be paired with one device at a time. The USB connection with an iPod overrides the...

Solid Router

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:07:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - I have set up over 50 routers to date, but I have to admit - I still don't understand them and every single time hook them up, close my eyes and kind of hope they will work... same feeling that I get when trying to link bluetooth devices. What amazes...

Sense and Simplicity

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:12:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - True to its advertising slogan Philips has produced another excellent and very affordable universal, learning remote control. I am a big fan of Philips remote controls, this is my 4th one. I loved all of them, but did find the more advanced Prestigo one...

Happy at last... or not... I don't know

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 15:06:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - *Update*I've been playing with the bluetooth functions with absolutely no success. I tried pairing with my phone to trasnfer contacts and with my HP Laptop to see what features would possibly be available. The Touch did not see either device...

One digit makes all the difference

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 01:43:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - I recently tried the Samsung SL102 Camera, which took great pictures but broke down on the second day. I was set on avoiding Samsung, but was seriously impressed by the picture quality, and I found the newer model SL202 for a lower price than the older...

Another let down

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 22:47:27 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - I normally avoid writing reviews this soon after buying a product, but given that the Zune HD was just released today, I am guessing that a lot of people are looking for information on it. This review is based on my experience with the player in just one...

Samsung does it again

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 01:52:14 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - After about a year with my Fuji Z10, I really can't stand its poor pictures any more, so it is time to find a new camera. My new criteria - no internal zoom lenses, no bulky battery chargers, and no weird memory card formats. The Samsung SL102...

It works, but then again...

Mon, 6 Jul 2009 18:30:52 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - It is unfair to fault this remote at the price that it sells for, but luckily that's what I am here for! I've been trying to replace my failing URC R5 for a while now and it looks like the search goes on. The RM-VL600 is a quite large remote, it...

Covers the Basics

Mon, 11 May 2009 13:06:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - ***NOTE! - This review is for the Garmin Nuvi 205, not the 205W. When I wrote it, I did use the page for the correct model number, but for some reason Epinions moved it here.***Perhaps my experience with the Nuvi 205 is a...

Super Blu!

Sun, 26 Apr 2009 13:37:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - First things first - again, wrong picture on Epinions, this picture is of the BD390...This is my second Blu Ray player, the first being a PS3, which I recently sold as it never really did what it claimed it should for more than a few minutes at a...

Prestigo

Wed, 15 Apr 2009 11:54:54 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - I've been on a hung for a good remote for a while now since my old Universal R5 has taken some serious beating. I loved it and still do, but it is showing its age and lack of buttons. Unfortunately it seems impossible to find a good, easy to use remote,...

Loves it!

Tue, 3 Feb 2009 02:58:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - This is my third Samsung phone and I've become a big fan. After the ridiculousness that is Nokia, Samsung's simplicity feels great to me. I got this phone as a Christmas present, though I picked it out myself. It is unlocked triband and I am using it...

HP Listened

Tue, 3 Feb 2009 00:21:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - So I've been really happy with my cheap, but very capable Acer Extensa laptop for the last 2-3 months, except for one nagging point - it is not a tablet. It probably won't matter to most people, but when you want a tablet, you want a tablet and nothing...

One Shallow Effort

Sat, 31 Jan 2009 21:02:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - Frankly, I had no intentions on getting this media player at all. I've tried Samsung products so many times, but except for their cell phones (which I love by the way), I have yet to find something that works as good as it looks. Well I never...

It's all looks

Fri, 28 Nov 2008 04:20:14 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - So I got this camera for one reason only - looks. And as far as that, it delivered like Domino's. The Fuji Z10 is a very small, super cute camera with a non-extending lense. It is easy to take anywhere and attracts plenty of attention. But...

Another quick return

Fri, 28 Nov 2008 03:41:16 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - D Link was pretty much the only brand I had not tried, so I was really hoping for a miracle. I saw this router on sale for $34, which felt like the right price. Set up was typical, though I had some trouble with the install CD. The set up failed...

Right on!

Fri, 28 Nov 2008 03:12:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - I've lost count on the routers that I've gone through in the past few months, and frankly I was beginning to lose hope. Ever since I bought a new laptop with Vista Home Premium, I've had nothing but troubles when trying to network my PCs. It seems...

Waste of time

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 14:36:26 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - So my 7 year old SMC wireless b router finally died of an extremely old age, and I was forced to go on one more hunt for a good replacement router. I tried the exercise a couple of times before, not because I needed to, but because I wanted to get the...

One Step Forward...

Fri, 3 Oct 2008 01:38:04 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - ... and about 10 back! In yet another moment of insanity I thought that this newer Ipod Touch might actually be better and allow me to finally ditch my 4 year old IPaq Windows Mobile PDA. I tried the first generation, which was such a...

Inspired Inspiron

Fri, 5 Sep 2008 12:58:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - I simply couldn't resist when I saw this notebook on sale for $699. The Inspiron 13 looks pretty nice to me, I especially love the how the screen fits on the body without leaving any gaps and such, and of course I am a big fan of the slot loading...

Does not disappoint

It made me like Vista

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 01:11:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - After two miserable weeks with an HP TX2500, I decided I wasn't going to spend a lot of money on anything that comes with Vista on it. So I went for the cheapest notebook I could find on the market, which that week happened to be this Acer for $399 at...

Updated!

Wed, 6 Aug 2008 14:18:07 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - *UPDATE* After about a week with this tablet, I had to return it. I think the problems were about equally split between the hardware and Vista, but in the time I had it, I had to reinstall the OS 4 times. I am used to things going on with computers,...

Don't knock it....

Mon, 9 Jun 2008 17:50:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - Finally a TV that works well and doesn't cost a fortune. I suspect a lot of people will ignore the brand without even giving it a look and it will be their loss. This TV offers a lot for as little money as it gets, and adds a very important to me feature...

I am disgusted

Wed, 4 Jun 2008 02:21:05 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - UPDATE! Just a quick update after my chat with Sony customer support earlier today. I decided to give them a "call"(online chat), just to make sure I wasn't missing something in the set up, to see if I can get the digital audio working. It was amazing...
