Covers the Basics

Mon, 11 May 2009 13:06:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - Perhaps my experience with the Nuvi 205 is a reflection of somewhat inflated expectations, but I must admit I was slightly disappointed. This is my third GPS, I still use my Bluetooth IOGear with my HP iPaq, and I briefly used another Garmin unit in the...

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...

Making George Foreman proud

Wed, 28 May 2008 02:16:38 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - I feel truly robbed of the couple of hours it took me to go to the store, pick this receiver up, get it connected, and figure out how to make it work. Well in all fairness I had to find out for myself how much exactly was I missing by not getting the new...

Score!

Mon, 19 May 2008 20:59:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - My selection of a new cell phone is simple - whatever comes free. I was very tempted by the new plan my carrier just started offering - 1000 any time minutes plus unlimited m2m and nights and weekends, all for $30 from SunCom. Unfortunately they wouldn't...

Achieving the Impossible

Fri, 9 May 2008 01:12:35 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - After trying a similarly priced 23" LCD from Samsung I was convinced it was impossible for a TV to get any worse. Yet somehow LG managed to outdo even that piece of garbage. It is hard to select the single most offensive "feature" of this TV. It is...

One Sour Apple

Tue, 8 Apr 2008 11:37:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - I don't know how, but my original review suddenly appeared on a completely different product - some type of Canon printer, so I will repost it and delete it from the other products' page. It seems like Epinions messed something up, because none of the...

Better late than never

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 18:06:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - I never considered myself a gamer, yet somehow I ended up trying all three of the current generation consoles. I absolutely hated the Wii, loved the 360, and now still experimenting with the PS3. I sold the Wii pretty much a week after I got it -...

Couldn't return it fast enough

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 20:32:52 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - I know I've said it before, but I really mean it this time - this will be the last piece of Samsung's garbage that I fall for. Another Best Buy gift card has been burning a hole in my pocket for the past couple of months, so on my last visit I just...

How Pity

Fri, 15 Feb 2008 01:05:48 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - As the old saying goes "a picture is worth 1000 words", here, judge for yourself: (pictures taken at 4mp resolution, not the max 6MP) http://hpdemo.shutterfly.com This looked like a really nice buy, especially at the price I got it for - $69...

Complete update

Wed, 28 Nov 2007 04:10:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - After a week with my first HC1500, I was convinced that it was impossible for so many people to love this projector, if the picture looked as bad as it looked on mine. That's why I decided to give it another chance and exchange it before I completely...
