rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author breviceps - My 7 year old Monsoon IM700 speakers have been in the ICU.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author breviceps - I have to confess, I'm an early adopter when it comes to electronics and most of the time I hate myself for that. Why? Because most of the time, we act as the guinea pigs for the products that companies introduce. As soon as the buzz started building up...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author breviceps - I've had the Jabra BT-200 and the Sony/Ericsson HBH-300 in the past. I enjoyed the in-ear canal design of the Jabra headset but the static was horrible even if my Motorola v710 phone was next to it. The Sony Ericsson had great reception but the fit...

Thu, 9 Mar 2006 17:35:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author breviceps - Ah...tax season. I hate this time of the year because instead of saving the refund money for a rainy day, I end up spending it. So, what's this year's whim? A new HDTV from Sony. This set replaced the Samsung HL-P5063W 50 in. HDTV that I purchased back...

Fri, 21 Oct 2005 11:03:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author breviceps - I purchased a Palm Tungsten T several years ago and it's in dire need of a replacement. Every time I turn it on, the digitizer needs to be recalibrated and it's getting tedious. For those who don't know what that is, think of when you sign those digital...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author breviceps - I was in a dilemma after purchasing my iPod Shuffle because I was stuck with an iPod with no purpose. Saying that I *love* Apple Computer products is an understatement. I just gotta have their products! So anyway, I now have three iPods: 40 GB 3rd...

Tue, 30 Aug 2005 09:07:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author breviceps - I have to say that I am a gadget freak. I like to buy new gizmos even if I can still technically live with the ones that I have. A while back, I reviewed my former phone, the Panasonic KX-TG2740 Cordless Phone. I hated the fact that the base unit came...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author breviceps - I've had my Sony RM-AV3000 remote for 2+ years and was quite happy with it. I'm able to program all my remotes so that 7 remote controls turned into one.

A Worthy Replacement to My Sony SA-WM20

Fri, 7 Jan 2005 14:57:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author breviceps - Every time I watch a DVD where the LFE's (low frequency effects, aka the .1 or subwoofer response) on my receiver is going crazy, my Sony SA-WM20 just couldn't keep up. I start to hear distortion like paper ratting in the subwoofer. Because of this...

Excellent TV!

Thu, 22 Jul 2004 22:38:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author breviceps - Purchasing a new television these days can be pretty intimidating, especially with the dawn of HDTV and the different sets available (i.e. CRT, DLP, LCOS, plasma, projection, etc).

Sun, 14 Jul 2002 04:30:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author breviceps - When my friend came over to visit and saw what it took to watch something on TV, she got overwhelmed and then laughed. I don't blame her considering that I have to juggle with 5-6 remote controls. It's time to end the madness.

Sat, 12 Jan 2002 11:47:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author breviceps - I bought this phone to be tagged onto my primary account for a Family-Share plan. I figure it was still cheaper to have one account, two phones instead of two completely different accounts.

The V120c is a trimode CDMA phone that can operate...
