2004 Ford Escape: Good all-rounder, unremarkable, pleasant

Mon, 29 Dec 2003 19:13:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sprint900 - --quick update January 9th 2004 - tidied up a few points -- Until October I owned the relatively small Honda Prelude, but with a second child on the way and the Honda getting a bit old anyway, something more practical was needed! In Cambridgeshire...

Good performance with nice screen without the weight

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author sprint900 - Quick update Dec 2003 I bought, off Ebay, a Dell Truemobile 1150 internal/mini-PCI wireless 802.11b LAN card. If you do go for a mini-PCI internal wlan card, be sure to open the slot in your latitude first and check that there are antenna leads - you...

Superb quality with genuine widescreen imaging, with every feature desirable

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sprint900 - -- quick update October 2004 I've now lived with the '80 for 15 months or so, and so have a few more observations, and will correct a few typos too. I've used it extensively to capture my newborn son who's now 9 months old, so its been used under a...

You can test zetafax thoroughly using an eval license. It is restricted in that it allows you to create your own cover notes (allowing importing of graphics), but always puts "ZETAFAX EVALUATION" in a half-tone pattern...

find it cheap?

Thu, 6 Dec 2001 14:51:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sprint900 - The original SP100 was ground breaking, and had the advantage of being flash memory based and therefore upgradable.

There's now an SP90 which is much cheaper but isn't software upgradable, however, they've had the time to sort out lots of...

A1 now superseded but still brilliant

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sprint900 - Update March 2003

I now have a terrestrial digital television receiver, a Nokia Mediamaster, and this has an S/PDIF coaxial digital output. This D-TV system is used in the UK and some other European countries. The system outputs sound at 48kHz...

Snap them up as they're selling fast!

Tue, 23 Oct 2001 14:07:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sprint900 - Because Intel now own Xircom, the Xircom branded ones are being sold off at bargain prices, so get one while you can! If you're using the cables, probably a good idea to buy spares - I was caught out when my previous modem card's manufacturer went bust...

UK users review - better than any other smartphone at the moment

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sprint900 - I love it! It's cool, and it works!

The technical data is all available at www.handpring.com, so I won't touch on it too much. I'm going to talk about what it's like to USE the phone in practise, concentrating on UK, I have a Visor Platinum,...

Much improved? No problems internationally and within USA

Fri, 6 Jul 2001 16:00:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sprint900 - Every time I have flown with UA there has been a problem.

The cabin crew on international flights are OK, and seem to try quite hard. I've not flown USA internal flights often enough to rate their crew.

They have always been late!...

Very useful, worth waiting for next generation?

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sprint900 - ** updated 20th december 2001 **

I realised that I forgot to mention that since Selective Availability (the "noise" added to the signal up until 2000 to make positional fixes less accurate) was turned off, the accuracies I am achieving with my...

Avoid in favour of the GPSIII+ or GPSV

Wed, 4 Jul 2001 11:32:38 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author sprint900 - check the specifications very carefully and be sure you really need to save the money - the III+ has some subtle improvements which make it far superior.

the III's battery life is much less.

the III hasn't got downloadable memory...

Obsolete but good 2nd hand or ex-demo buy

Thu, 28 Jun 2001 09:12:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sprint900 - Update Dec 2003 A quick note to say that I had to sell this unit. I foolishly left it in my Honda Prelude when I put it up for sale, and although I said it wasn't available, the buyer met my asking price only if I included the Aiwa! This will be the...

Still holds its own against latest, now affordable! Updated Dec 03

Wed, 27 Jun 2001 16:36:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sprint900 - Quick update December 2003 About 3,500 photos on and it's still going strong. It's not had a rough life, but I take it *everywhere* I go, and has been dropped a few times onto carpeted floor accidentally, and survived. I've added more memory cards,...
