Tue, 30 Aug 2005 21:13:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mdarren - I have been using the Blackberry (BB) 7520 for 2 months now, and I am hooked. I have been through many different devices in trying to find an all-in-one solution for wireless voice and data. My last attempt was in the form of a Samsung SCH-i600 running...

The MX-700 remote is both powerful and easy-to-use...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mdarren - I recently purchased an MX-700 after spending the last 3 years with a Philips Pronto TSU2000. While the Pronto was certainly a powerful and fully-customizable remote, my affection for it faded dramatically over time. Three aspects of the Pronto really...

Switched from PC to iMac and have not looked back!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mdarren - Why was I so drawn to the iMac? You see, for the last 11 years I have been using Microsoft Windows-based machines. Each version of Windows has been getting better, and XP in particular is quite good. In fact, going into this purchase, I was quite happy...

Simplicity and great sound optimized for a small room

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mdarren - We bought the 3-2-1 home entertainment system for use in our bedroom. It is an ideal application for this product. While we liked the idea of having a surround sound system in our bedroom, we weren’t all that crazy about having to mount rear...

Thu, 28 Feb 2002 14:13:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mdarren - I have used Mothers wax for years. That is, until just recently - but more on that later. Mothers makes excellent car care products with the added benefit of being rather easy to find at many of the national auto store and auto parts reatailers. The...

Mon, 31 Dec 2001 15:35:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mdarren - The 2002 Volkswagen Passat GLX offers a unique blend of attributes. It is a driver’s car, with a smooth V6 and better handling characteristics than its Japanese counterparts. The Passat feels like a solid and well-built German sedan. I see the...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mdarren - After using the VTech VT2431 2.4GHz cordless phone for 6 months now, I am quite happy with it. It does have some drawbacks that prospective buyers should be aware of. In fact, if voice quality and range were of primary concern, I would look elsewhere...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mdarren - If brute-force acceleration is your thing, look elsewhere. However, if you are looking for a versatile, solidly-built performance sedan that does just about everything well while looking handsome, the A4 is a great choice.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mdarren - I have had my Nikon CP950 for what has to be almost a year now. I have enjoyed using this camera so much that I did something I never thought I'd do, which is to fully retire my film camera! The Nikon is that good.

I use my CP950 for all...

Wed, 9 Aug 2000 14:58:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mdarren - This Denon is an upgrade from my previous Yamaha RXV-870 receiver. I was searching for a receiver that would provide better audio quality along with Dolby Digital and DTS decoding. I got what I was looking for, plus some.
