Nokia 7110 GSM Cellular Phone: Excellent phone but my god its UGLY

Fri, 9 Mar 2001 15:46:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mickm9 - This one had the background guys at Orange flapping with excitement when it was first received for testing from Nokia, not only was it the first ever WAP enabled handset but it was also a pretty revolutionary design in to the bargain.

First...

Nokia 3310 GSM Cellular Phone: Porn on a phone !!

Thu, 8 Mar 2001 20:50:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mickm9 - Huuuummmmmm, I probably need to explain that a bit further don't I before I get censored !!!

So let me explain what I mean before I go any further.

Despite working for Orange I didnt know too much about the features on this...

The Survivor

Sun, 4 Mar 2001 15:28:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mickm9 - Although the title of this and some of the write ups perhaps lead you to believe that this is a story of an air crash it is far from it. The crash itself, although dramatic and graphically described by Herbert is little more than the lead in to the...

Haunted: Haunted

Sun, 4 Mar 2001 15:21:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mickm9 - I read this one after The Ghosts of Sleath which features the same central character, this is a physic investigator called David Ash. This book however is actually the first featuring this character and as such I read them in the wrong order, this...

The Shrine

Sun, 4 Mar 2001 15:17:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mickm9 - This was one of the first Herbert novels I read and as such my memory of it is pretty sketchy, however, I do remember thinking how different it was from The Rats which was my only other Herbert novel up till that point.

This story was more of...

Portent

Sun, 4 Mar 2001 15:12:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mickm9 - This is a bit of a strange one, it's not the normal scary stuff that we associate with James Herbert but is more of an apocalyptic type book, there is some gory scenes in it which Herbert graphically describes but overall the book is more of a "thinking...

Crisis4

Sun, 4 Mar 2001 15:06:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mickm9 - This was one of the first Andy McNab books I read all the way through, the other “Immediate Action”, I only initially read bits of because it was serialised in a paper ! I have since read that but it will be part of a separate review.

Anyway,...

Immediate Action

Sun, 4 Mar 2001 15:00:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mickm9 - This is a very good attempt at an autobiography by a man

who has been shot to fame by the success of his previous

novel Bravo Two Zero. As we know this detailed McNabs

leading of the ill fated patrol of the same name, this time

Remote Control

Sun, 4 Mar 2001 14:42:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mickm9 - A word of warning about this book, if at all possible make sure you read it before Crisis 4. I didn't and as a result a little bit of the suspense is lost because reference is made to certain elements of it the next story, of course having read the...

Bravo Two Zero

Sun, 4 Mar 2001 14:38:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mickm9 - We were all aware of the role played by the British Army in the Gulf War but little was known of the exploits of the SAS at the time, this book seeks to redress that with a brutal account of an 8 man patrol detailed with severing the underground...

If I was a tortoise I'd make love to this phone !!

Sun, 4 Mar 2001 14:29:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mickm9 - Excuse the title but it got your attention didn’t it, if you saw the advert you know what I'm on about, if you didn't .... well, you probably think I'm a bit strange !!!

This used to be my “going out” phone as it was small enough to fit in my...

"Others" - This will make you think ...

Sat, 3 Mar 2001 15:49:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mickm9 - Believe it or not I read this one from start to finish on a beach in Jamaica and I got so immersed in it that I practically lost 2 days of my holiday, I could just not put it down.

It does start off sort of weird but you soon forget about that...

Guess the year ???

Sat, 3 Mar 2001 15:48:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mickm9 - Surprisingly enough this story is set in …. You guessed it – 1948 !!

The scene is a devastated London 3 years after Hitler, in a final act of retaliation, released what was to become known as the “Blood Death” . This ultimately killed the...

Nokia 6110: This is without doubt a classis

Sat, 3 Mar 2001 15:15:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mickm9 - I used this as my main handset ever since it was released, even though I managed to test out loads of other handsets because of my job role in Orange I always, without fail, returned to my trusty old 702. Although this has now changed since I got an 8210...

Size does matter !!!!

Sat, 3 Mar 2001 15:07:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mickm9 - I've worked for Orange for nearly 11 years and in that time have been lucky enough to own most of the phones in the range (and a few that didnt make it) thanks to some of the jobs I've had in the company.

Out of all of them I can honestly say...

Nokia 3210 GSM Cellular Phone: Its OK but ....

Sat, 3 Mar 2001 15:06:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mickm9 - It looks old fashioned now but there was a time not so long ago when the 3210 was heralded as revolutionary with its internal antenna and interchangeable back and front.

Because of my job role at the time I managed to get hold of a sample...
