E*TRADE: Horrid records, terrible integration

Sun, 22 Feb 2004 20:16:27 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jfaughnan - I've been required to use eTrade because it was the lowball bidder for my employer's busy. In the past three years I've suffered through their malfunctioning web site, their incompetent integration between the brokerage and OptionsLink site, their...

One Suite Phone Cards Online Store -- onesuite.com: Promising enterprise, but abysmal phone quality

Sun, 11 Jan 2004 22:26:38 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jfaughnan - I signed up with OneSuite after our 1010 services added hidden fees and unannounced price increases. I've tested their voice mail services, fax services, and phone services. The voice mails, relayed to my email client, were unintelligible. The fax...

Sprint Mobile Phone Service in Minneapolis/St Paul: Sprinting downhill

Tue, 27 Aug 2002 11:30:57 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jfaughnan - I've been a Sprint customer for about 4 years. Europeans can switch carriers and keep their phone number; if we could do that I'd have left Sprint last year.

Service coverage is spotty in metro areas, but probably not incredibly worse than...

Poor implementation of a simple idea.

Sat, 25 Aug 2001 13:30:41 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jfaughnan - In the old days I used a garish orange filter coffee maker. As soon as the drip stopped I would switch off the heating element. The coffee cooled quickly, but if I wanted a warm cup I'd microwave it. Sacrilege no doubt, but it worked well and the coffee...

Hewlett Packard ScanJet 6390C Flatbed Scanner: My worst purchase in years.

Tue, 21 Aug 2001 00:00:06 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jfaughnan - I actually bought the 6390C for work, so I didn't lose any money on it. Thank heavens. In 15 years of fighting with computer hardware this is probably the worst peripheral I've encountered.

I bought this to see if it would serve as a document...

Good choice if you get a good price.

Sun, 22 Jul 2001 17:34:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jfaughnan - We've had our 2001 MPV for about 3 months, and we've completed one 3500 mile family excursion. My initial impression has been sustained. This vehicle is overall about 80-90% as good as the industry-leading Honda Odyssey. If you want a slightly smaller...

Samsung SCH 8500 CDMA / AMPS Cellular Phone: A Design Nerd's Review

Mon, 9 Apr 2001 00:12:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jfaughnan - When I bought this phone I was looking for a wearable phone with a good display. I compared it to my older Nokia 6185 and the Motorola 7868W. I bought it at a Computer City store for about $70 less than the Sprint store was offering it for (discount...

A Few Weaknesses to Note

Sun, 15 Oct 2000 16:03:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jfaughnan - (Updated April 8, 2001)

Given the very thorough reviews of the Palm Vx (see http://mmmm.epinions.com/cmd-review-75A3-52BEA83-39E665F8-prod2 for example), I will not write a review as much as add some comments based on my heavy use of this...

Nice device, but sad reels

Sat, 25 Mar 2000 00:30:03 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jfaughnan - From 1939 through the 1960s over a billion View-Master reels were produced. The extraordinary resolution of Kodachrome file, combined with the 3-dimensional effect and immersive viewer produced a startling "virtual reality" effect long before...
