Treo 650 - A huge leap forward

Mon, 17 Jan 2005 00:04:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kaipradel - Getting the Treo After moving I found myself with poor reception using my old wireless provider. Since T-Mobile wasn't about to install a new antenna just for me, I was in the market for a new cell phone provider. Coincidentally, this was around the...

Vonage not yet ready for prime time

Sat, 20 Nov 2004 14:13:21 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author kaipradel - As much as I wanted Vonage to work for me, it just didn't. The feature set is impressive, the flexibility to take your phone number wherever you go is appealing, and the low prices on their unlimited callings plans are seductive. When my small...

iRiver surprises

Sat, 13 Dec 2003 12:47:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kaipradel - I had been out of the MP3 CD player game for a couple of years after purchasing an iPod. When that died I decided to go back to a CD based system and was looking to pick up where I left off - with RioVolt CD / MP3 player. To my surprise I had to learn...

Minolta Magicolor 2300W Laser Printer: Simple, inexpensive printer with excellent output quality

Sat, 13 Dec 2003 12:35:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kaipradel - Minolta's marketing speak says on their website "you get what you pay for" and I can only interpret this as a pun because I would have to disagree. The small price tag is in no relation to the surprisingly good output quality and overall user experience...

Don't expect too much

Tue, 16 Sep 2003 09:05:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kaipradel - I got the Motorola T5720's with great anticipation to be able to connect to lost biking buddies on the trail but much to my disappointment had to realize that they might be better used in Disney Land than in a Mountain Bike area. But lets not skip...

Great camera on weak legs

Thu, 19 Jun 2003 21:58:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kaipradel - This will be a quick review. There simply isn't much to say about webcams other than a comment or tw...

ABS Computer Technologies Online Store: Great products, great service, and prompt delivery

Thu, 29 May 2003 18:35:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kaipradel - I ordered the Awesome 3550 PC with a NEC17" LCD screen from abspc.com. Pricing seemed very competitive and their own message boards were full with comments of praise from previous customers.

I received the monitor first while the PC was being...

Supergo Bike Shops Online Store: Didn't receive ordered products. Poor customer support with pesky emails and unfriendly phone service.

Mon, 26 May 2003 01:58:23 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author kaipradel - I ordered a set of Niterider Digital Pro lights, a pair of shorts and a CO2 pump. I also had a 20% coupon which checked out fine when I submitted my credit card. Five days later Supergo notified me that the lights were no longer available (despite heavy...

Siemens Gigaset a Gigaflop?

Tue, 21 Jan 2003 11:22:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kaipradel - Of all the phones on the US market there are few that don't look too busy and give you a headache by looking at all the possible buttons and stickers. The Siemens Gigaset stands out as a simple unit with powerful features.

Although it works...

Tivo II Series

Tue, 26 Nov 2002 02:10:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kaipradel - By now everyone has heard of the Tivo. I don't think I have been to party recently where Tivo didn't come up at some point. So I will save the usual ravings on how the Tivo changes the way you look at television and all that jazz...

irock! 300W Wireless Music Adapter: irock - not quite there yet

Tue, 26 Nov 2002 01:43:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kaipradel - I bought the iRock for my iPod to avoid the cables in the car and improve the sound quality. For that purpose it is adequate. I found it to work better in some cars than others. In my BMW Z3 reception is great while in a Lexus GS300 it is poor, even on...

Kensington PocketMouse Pro (72116): Great portable mouse

Sat, 23 Nov 2002 18:14:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kaipradel - I bought the Kensington PocketMouse for my G4 Powerbook and am loving it. The two mousebuttons and scroll wheel work great and the retractable cord is a handy feature.

After 3 months of frequent use and travel the cord retracts like on the...

T-Mobile Phone Service in Boston: Great price and support, weak service

Sat, 23 Nov 2002 18:07:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kaipradel - I switched to T-Mobile from Sprint which I used for 5 years. Sprint had poor customer support and I found all sorts of unexpected charges on my bill.

I signed up with T-Mobile and got the Sony Ericsson T68i phone which has been working well...

T68i - Finally up to European Standards: UPDATED

Sat, 23 Nov 2002 17:54:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kaipradel - I got the T68i from Amazon for $50 with a one year contract with T-Mobile. I was a 5 year customer of Sprint and ready to switch to a new provider. But that's an entirely different subject on its own.

The phone is attractive (I have the baby...

Cheap GPS that does the job

Sat, 23 Nov 2002 17:51:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kaipradel - I was lucky to find the Magellan GPS for Handspring on Sale at a local CompUSA and ended up buying it at a 110% price match from Staples. I opened the box and found another $50 mail-in coupon so the entire unit ended up costing me $30.

But now...

Coolpix 885

Mon, 15 Apr 2002 22:37:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kaipradel - I bought the camera at buy.com and even got a $35 rebate on a 128MB compact flash card. Since the camera does not come with a rechargable battery or AC supply, I bought an extra battery and charger from bestbuy.com for $49.

The camera is very...

KDS 15" LCD

Wed, 13 Feb 2002 19:18:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kaipradel - I just got this puppy today and it rocks. Bought it two days ago on buy.com for about $330 and didn't think I would get a great display. I needed to get away from staring at a CRT all day so this seemed a feasable alternative.

After using it...
