Nokia 3390: Nokia has done it again!

Sat, 2 Feb 2002 19:16:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jpobre - After having hundreds of hours worth of conversations with my Nokia 5190 over the past two years, I began to have interest in other phones that are out there. I had a long talk with my old phone, and we both decided that it was best for the both of us...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jpobre - Author's Note (01/01/02): With the new year comes a newly-revamped review. I have cleaned up this review and removed or changed references to now defunct service plans and other unnecessary things. Enjoy.

My dad and I have been...

Not bad for a free phone.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jpobre - This Nokia phone is my first wireless phone, and along with service by Cingular Wireless (be sure to read my review of their service in Los Angeles!), it ain't a bad combination. The only reason I got this phone was that it was free with a one-year...

A great parallel port scanner

Fri, 13 Apr 2001 17:32:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jpobre - My dad and I decided to purchase a flatbed scanner for our PC because we wanted to keep a digital record of important documents and send photos to family and friends. We also wanted a scanner that connected to the parallel port because our computer...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpobre - The Toshiba SD-1600 breathed some new life into my 12-year-old 27-inch Mitsubishi TV! I connected the player directly to the TV with a Radio Shack S-Video cable and a pair of gold-plated analog audio cables left over from the days of the now old and...

Well worth the price.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jpobre - Sure it may not have powerful 3D graphics capabilities or a color touch-screen, but with the wireless chat/gaming features, loads of useful stuff you'd find on other PDA's, and the ability to download games from their web site for free, the Cybiko is...

Photoworks.com: One of the better online photo services

Fri, 21 Jul 2000 17:23:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpobre - I just got my prints and negatives from the roll of film I sent to PhotoWorks to be developed and scanned for free, and I was quite amazed at how quickly and reliably they got the job done.

After sending in my roll of film in one of the two...

Very reliable and a great value!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jpobre - I was first with EarthLink sometime around 1996 after the ISP I was previously with transferred all their assets to them and transferred my account with it. After leaving it a few months later and not coming back to them until February of this year, I'm...

Ememories.com: High-quality service and photos, but slow

Fri, 7 Jul 2000 23:01:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jpobre - My experience with ememories has been somewhat good and somewhat bad; good because they do a good job when it comes to allowing me, friends, and family to view my photos taken on 35mm film online for free. Bad because they took much longer than the 24...

Very stable ISP and software

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 22:21:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jpobre - I was always a little skeptical about these free ISPs and the kind of service they would offer me. One day I got bored and decided to try AltaVista's service. Setting up their software was very easy and I was up and running in no time. Their ad window...
