rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ricehigh - My first mobile phone was a Motorola Startac (with a slim battery), my latest purchase is also something similar in mechanical design, size and weight. But the "contents" are of a huge difference! Just purchased on Sunday as a whole package which is...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ricehigh - I bought this unit to replace my 12 years old Panasonic VCR which has served me for 4 Olympic Games ( but the most funny thing is that I didn't get the new DVR before the Athens Games but only after its closing :-) I wait the price cut for too long :-( )...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ricehigh - Its design is elegant, slim casing and with beautiful pearl white color.

Why's it called "barebone"? I would say it is a "body"!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ricehigh - I bought this unit after various testings at shops for months (previously tested the 3802 also). Many peoples said that Denons are not musical enough for music but I disagree. I would say Denons are obviously more powerful and produced sound appears to...

One of the best affordable DVD players around!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ricehigh - I was much attracted by its appearance when I first saw it, so did my girlfriend. My cabinet is also near out of space, if I buy this player, it can be stacked on the top of my panasonic VCR.

I bought it just three days ago on last Sunday. I...

It's a SONY!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ricehigh - The monitor is slim and sexy, the color of the casing is cool and my one is of grey color which is a little bit darker than the ordinary grey. Though it's circular base is small, the monitor is standing on my desktop like a rock!

Sun, 5 Aug 2001 11:15:49 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ricehigh - My company bought me a iPAQ H3630 several months ago. Initially, I thought it can be used as my personal organizer as well as a smaller laptop.

Wed, 25 Apr 2001 08:19:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ricehigh - It is a very good and carefully designed camera indeed. In my opinion, even better than the ZX-7 or many other models of the other brands, even not consider the price. The most lovely thing of the camera is that all the features are basic useful ones and...
