Motorola E8... the Unlocked Model

Mon, 8 Sep 2008 20:38:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chrisfll - The Motorola E8 ROKR was a replacement for a V3 RAZR that has since become passé in the ever increasing world of cell phone glamour. Frankly, I never really subscribed to such non-sense, but I have been keen on getting a phone with MP3...

Sun, 18 Nov 2007 16:57:34 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author chrisfll - As the weather has cooled off, I have started walking a couple of miles to the office from home. I typically lug Zune 30GB, but recently, I purchased a Zune 4GB model which is much more practical to carry. Unfortunately, the Zune came with a really...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chrisfll - I recently decided to trade my Mustang GT convertible for something more practical. I looked at sports sedans from Infiniti/Nissan and Acura. But weekend trips to the home centers and remodeling projects had me seeking something with even more room...

Rowenta DG-980

Sat, 1 Jan 2005 15:02:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chrisfll - I own a Rowenta Professional DM-880 clothing iron, however, it spat water at lower temperatures, and did a mediocre job of getting the wrinkles out of 100% cotton dress shirts at the high settings. Part of the problem was it just was not generating a...

Sun, 22 Feb 2004 05:21:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chrisfll - I purchased a 10-piece set of All-Clad MetalCrafters Stainless Steel cookware a few months ago. Since that time, I retired a set of Revere stainless pots and T-Fal nonstick frypans that I had used for years. I chose the stainless steel because it...

Mon, 11 Nov 2002 02:27:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chrisfll - When I purchased my condo in early 2002, it was a real fixer-upper. Over a period of a couple of months, I remodeled the entire kitchen and replaced all of the cabinets, countertop, sink, and appliances. The original configuration did not include a...

Ok, maybe I am a nerd…

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chrisfll -

If you asked me a year ago whether I thought a PDA was a necessity that justified an asking price ($400 ) I would have given you an emphatic “No!” Only seasoned professionals and gadget nuts carry these things, right? Well, after losing...

Sun, 23 Jun 2002 00:47:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chrisfll - When I purchased my home a few months ago, I started toiling away with improvements from first day I moved in. From the get go I knew I would need power tools to fasten screws into doors and walls, metal studs, and cabinetry. Because my dwelling has...

Norelco Advantage 6735X

Sat, 1 Jun 2002 11:17:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chrisfll - I purchased the Norelco Advantage on sale for $99 several months ago. I sometimes wonder how I ever lived without it. Ok, $100 price was one dissuading factor. It is a bit steep when compared to the $7 Gillette Sensor brand that I have been using for...

Avocet O2 Air 40 Titanium Racing Saddle

Sun, 13 Jan 2002 02:45:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chrisfll - I purchased an “ultralight” Leather O2 Air 40 Titanium Racing saddle a few years ago and I have to say it has held up very well. The leather is still supple and hasn’t developed much wear or cracking yet. Although the decals have all but...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chrisfll - This review is written for AT&T (or TDMA network) users who are interested in purchasing a Motorola V60t TDMA wireless phone. Epinions seems to have neglected to include this model on the list. This is likely because the V60t is identical in appearance...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author chrisfll - I live and play in Fort Lauderdale. I had used Verizon Wireless prior to signing on with SprintPCS but I made the switch for a SprintPCS calling plan that more suited my needs. I initially liked SprintPCS because they have no roaming charges while on...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author chrisfll - I am a huge Nikon 35mm fan. I have owned an N70, F100, and currently own an F5. So when I decided to go digital, I went to straight to Nikon. I wanted something simple, primarily a camera to capture images for sending emails or photographing items to...

Cingular Mobile Phone Service in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale/West Palm Beach: Unprofessional company

Fri, 13 Jul 2001 10:07:04 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author chrisfll - I ordered a cellular phone from Cingular Wireless via their 800 phone number. Once I received the phone, I discovered I was charged shipping charges, and an activation fee, none of which was told to me at the time I ordered. Had I been told of the...

Don't click that blue button...

Sun, 8 Jul 2001 00:34:38 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author chrisfll - I am surprised that AOL would affiliate itself with First USA bank. I frankly find the advertising practices and fees associated with the AOL Platinum Visa card to be “bait and switch.”

If you check out the ad on at http://www.AOL.com and...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chrisfll - This is my second Klein mountain bike. I bought this to replace a Klein hardtail that I physically outgrew. I sometimes think I should have gone with another hardtail. This bike can earn a rider a “poser” status, meaning it has a lot eye catching...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chrisfll - Let me see… a Nikon AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 28-70mm f/2.8D IF-ED or big screen television? … Hmmmm. (I bet you chose the television, right?) At nearly $1,500 for the Nikon, I had to think long and hard trying to justify such a purchase. Long story short, I...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chrisfll - I bought a 1997 Moss Green Jeep Wrangler Sport brand new in the spring of 1997 at a Mike Shad dealership in Jacksonville, FL. At the time, I was interested in a convertible that was reasonably priced (starts well under $20,000) and didn’t have high...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chrisfll - I have been a big fan of Nokia phones for nearly three years. I have owned both a 6160 and 6185. They were rugged, small, had outstanding clarity, and good battery life. However, when I switched to SprintPCS I had to select another brand because...

It has its pros and cons

Wed, 13 Sep 2000 00:17:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chrisfll - I frequently fly Southwest for weekend trips from Fort Lauderdale to Jacksonville and for business trips to Orlando and Tampa. The reason I fly Southwest is because they have the lowest fairs and are almost always on time.

Mon, 4 Sep 2000 20:13:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chrisfll - After reading some of the opinions from other members, I decided I should add some comments of my own. Having owned the i75 for over a year now, it has yet to fail me. I routinely shoot with a Nikon SLR but had decided that I needed a compact for...
