T-Mobile Phone Service in Washington/Baltimore: Get MORE, with VoiceStream...

Mon, 5 Aug 2002 01:37:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dtoombs - Well, here I sit -- two weeks into my new VoiceStream contract, and I've got to tell you I'm pretty impressed and amazed by the service so far. While it may not be the right choice for everyone, it has been an excellent choice for me thus far. But to...

Garmin GPS V GPS Receiver: I love it! And so does everyone who sees it!

Fri, 29 Mar 2002 19:13:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dtoombs - Well, after looking through my "gadget graveyard" and finding a few items I could hock on eBay, I found myself with a few hundred dollars burning a hole into my pocket. Hmm. What to buy?

I went to Best Buy (my favorite store, which I...

Samsung SPH-I300: Hello ... your Palm is ringing

Sat, 3 Nov 2001 13:43:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dtoombs - Hi, you can call me Batman.

At least, that's what my friends have taken to calling me from time to time.

Why do they do this? Is it because I'm a wealthy multi-billionaire with a secret crime-fighting alter-ego? Hardly. Is it...

Life Balance: It's only been 5 days, but I'm already more organized!

Wed, 17 Oct 2001 01:12:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dtoombs - Wow ... I never thought I'd feel compelled to write a review of a piece of PDA software, but Life Balance is just important enough that it's worth mentioning!

First, let me give you a bit of my background -- I'm an employee of a high-tech...

A disappointing departure from their style...

Sun, 7 Oct 2001 13:38:38 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dtoombs - First off, let me say that I'm a big fan of Garbage and have been since day 1 - own both their CDs, and still listen to both on a pretty regular basis. I've seen them in concert each time they've come through my town, and think their musical style is...

Yawn ... it's ok, but why all the hype?

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dtoombs - Ok, so being a techie - it seems that everyone in our office is addicted to Taurine drinks. So, I decided to give some of them a try. Red Bull seems to be the clear favorite among most, but to be honest I think it's simply "OK".

Intermec Qoder: Great concept - but make sure you'll actually use it.

Fri, 21 Sep 2001 01:18:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dtoombs - When I first stumbled across the Qode website, I was in awe of this little device. "You mean I can scan barcodes, and then have this tool do the comparison e-shopping for me?" I thought to myself, "Where do I sign up?" A few days later my Qoder...

Keyspan Digital Media Remote: Great remote for presenters!

Fri, 21 Sep 2001 00:44:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dtoombs - As an author and a professional speaker, I often find myself speaking at large conferences several times a year. This is a situation where there's a few hundred people in a large room, with a very large projection screen set up.

A year ago or...

3Com HomeConnect PC Digital Camera: Sharpest picture available on a USB camera - bar none!

Fri, 21 Sep 2001 00:05:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dtoombs - For quite a while, I have been using Logitech quickcam cameras on my computers ... thinking that their standard images were acceptable and "Hey, it's just a $99 camera, what can one expect?" Well, I'm happy to say that 3Com has raised the bar for all...

In love with a cordless phone - who'da thunk it?

Thu, 20 Sep 2001 23:19:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dtoombs - So, let me tell you how this all started out. The phone that I use in my bedroom died last week ... it was just a basic $30 phone - nothing too fancy. So, I thought I would just go get myself another disposable phone and made a trip to my local Best...

RCA DWD490RE DIRECTV with UltimateTV: UltimateTV - everything you need, and nothing you don't

Thu, 16 Aug 2001 14:01:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dtoombs - It's a shame that epinions has buried the UltimateTV receivers in with all the other Satellite receivers, because this is truly a unique item. I purchased mine as soon as it was available, and I couldn't be happier! (I returned my Tivo within a week of...

The ultimate companion for a road warrior....

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dtoombs - Wow, I can't tell you in enough words how much I love my PGC-C1VN laptop! However, I can tell you that it is perfect for my needs. I recognize that it might not be perfect for everyone, so consider your options.

Kensington / Gravis Digital Photo Album: Even at $99, skip it...

Thu, 16 Aug 2001 02:14:58 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dtoombs - Well, I was hoping to be able to write a positive review about this product at the price they were selling it. Sadly, I can't do that -- even at the $99 liquidation price that Kensington is selling these at, they're just plain cheap.
