Review for Palm Tungsten E2:
The problems seem to be with both the device and 3rd party software. When trying to contact the 3rd party software supplier my messages get bounced back saying that they do not accept mail from the address and to contact the website. I have done that, only to find I am listed as not being eligible for support.
Since purchase I have had continual problems with the device locking and giving error messages. This has been common to both Word and Spreadsheets. The messages are all basically similar IE"Fatal Alert - MemoryMgr etc"
The touchscreen is also imprecise and the handwriting recognition application is tempermental and almost impossible to use accurately.
With the last problem I had to do a hard reset to recover and change my profile name on the device, plus unloading and re-loading the software on my PC. Not something to be undertaken lightly or frequently.
These faults are random and spurious : there is no set pattern to them.The machine is not reliable and will let me down without warning. I would not reccomend the device and will purchase a PDA with an alternative system in future

Review for Palm Tungsten E2:
Tungsten E2
I bought a Palm Tunsten E2 Device in November 2007. That is something I now regret. I based my decision on using an earlier device from another manufacturer which also ran on Palm software without problem and was replaced after 5 years service.The problems seem to be with both the device and 3rd party software. When trying to contact the 3rd party software supplier my messages get bounced back saying that they do not accept mail from the address and to contact the website.

Outstanding phone
At last! A home phone that is easy to use, with a large clear screen and large buttons (backlit) - such a change from other tiny handsets with buttons only a child could press. Useful features like the call restrict and night mode are great. I am so happy to have found the perfect phone.84

Review for Jabra SP5050 Bluetooth Speakerphone:
A must Speakerphone by Jabra
A great piece of electronics from Jabra. I had one of their headsets and had no problems. I wanted a more upto date headset so ordered a SP5050. Easy to set up, pairs straight away with my SPV C600 and sounds great. Sounds quality is good even at motorway speeds. Only down point is it only comes with a car charger, no Mains kit. You need to buy a 12v to 240v inverter which runs 1 amp. Looking on site only cost about £4, £5.85
Review for Apple iPod Socks - 6 different colours:
There's no denying this is a cute idea and they also look very cute when you're iPod's snuggled inside them. However, they are almost totally impractical. They offer almost no protection if you knock or drop your iPod. You can't use the click wheel without removing the sock, which is incredibly inconvenient. They sometimes leave specks of fluff on the iPod's surface. They are ridiculously expensive for what they are. Need I go on?
The socks do have one use, actually. If you keep your iPod in a dock when you're charging or importing, you can fit one of these over the top end and it will keep it relatively clean. However, overall I would recommend trying to resist the cuteness factor and going for something less attractive but more practical to keep your iPod safe.

Review for Apple iPod Socks - 6 different colours:
Cute but totally impractical
Like some of the other reviewers here, I loved the idea of my iPod having its own 'sock', and I was fed up with all the iPod cases that are so bulky and look so unattractive, so I decide to give these a whirl. There have apparently been instances of these socks actually scratching the iPod (which is absolutely crazy - didn't Apple even bother to test them?) so I would definitely recommend investing in a stick-on screen protector before using these.There's no denying this is a cute idea and they also look very cute when you're iPod's snuggled inside them.

Best and cheapest on amazon
Brought these for my daughter's Sony Walkman NWZA816B 4GB model and it is perfect. Its clear and it covers the whole walkman but you can still charge it with it on, so once in you never have to remove it again. Protects the screen and is a hard cover and doesn't ruin the look of player. Highly recommend you purchase this with the player, it makes sense. This seller was excellent too, answered my emails and sent item very quickly. A++++ all round87

Review for Parrot Minikit Bluetooth Car Kit:
When I bought this a colleague of mine said keep the box and the receipt 'cos you'll probably end up sending it back .... wish I'd listened.
If you have never had a real hands free kit in your car and don't relish the prospect of having a Bluetooth headset stuck in your ear - this is probably fine - as long as you don't do long journeys. It doesn't hold its charge sufficiently for someone who drives away for the day on business, no way. But short journeys then a re-charge, fine.
But, if like myself you previously had a 'real' hard wired handsfree kit which charged itself as you drive, this will be a major step backwards. It seemed like a good idea at the time - being able to change phone without the problem of keeping it to fit your hands-free cradle.
Operationally I have a few niggles with it too, it has a light which goes from red to orange to green when being charged - it's a shame that doesn't light up to show you when it's running low, it seems to be working one minute, then not working the next without you noticing on a drive that it went flat. Also the on/off switch would be better being a more responsive switch slid into on or off position, the press it solution is not fool proof - is it on or off ? keep finding I have to look up to my sun visor to see if its lights are flickering occassionaly (which could mean you take your eyes off the road for a split second).
There is a higher spec Parrot Bluetooth device on sale for around £90 - In hindsight I guess I should have bought that instead - think I'll see what other users think of that then give this one up as a bad job.

OK so it is not that expensive and I know you can't expect BA service at EasyJet prices, but still, quite a frustrating piece of kit.When I bought this a colleague of mine said keep the box and the receipt 'cos you'll probably end up sending it back .... wish I'd listened.

Review for Wireless VISTA Skype certified USB VoIP cordless phone (Black/Silver):
Fantastic phone
I was after a decent Skype for a while so I decided to give this phone a go. It looked good and the item description seemed to be quite convincing. The product received was exactly what I needed. It looks cool, is very easy to install (works fine with my Vista and my sister's XP) and when I use it it's just like calling from my home cordless phone. What is more, the voice quality on Skype and Voipcheap is great (I've tried the phone with both - the phone comes with the Skype driver on CD but when I contacted Premier-express they emailed me the link to other drivers). But what I like most is that you can talk away from your computer and all your Skype contacts currently on-line are displayed on the handset's screen. All in all, absolutely fantastic item - highly recommended to all.91

It charges as fast as the docking station but without the unnecessary bulk of the station and is therefore much faster than the USB.For it's price I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to any Archos owners.

Review for Sennheiser RS120 Headphones Black/Grey:
Very good with a small problem
These headphones are very good. Easy to setup and produce a good sound, though my hearing is not as good as it was. It has a good range - fine out in the garden. The only problem is that the headphones fall off when you bend down to pick something up. The adjustment is somewhat limited, OK for vertical adjustment but does not enable it to be tightened.93
Review for PALM T/X HANDHELD BLUETOOTH:
[Update 28/05/08]

Review for PALM T/X HANDHELD BLUETOOTH:
Very disappointed
I have had this product for just under a year, and it has developed two faults: 1) The power on/off button has stopped working, and 2) An area of the 'touch' screen no longer responds to touch. Palm are currently refusing to accept my Amazon invoice as proof of purchase (despite it having my credit card/payment details on it!), and with the warranty running out on 19th April I am unlikely to get these faults resolved. Palm have currently quoted me £120 JUST to fix the power on/off button! This is the second Palm TX I have had - the first one just stopped working completely soon after I purchased it, but Amazon were brilliant and replaced it on that occasion (thanks Amazon!). It's a good unit generally, but these reliability issues and hassle with the manufacturer over getting it fixed under warranty lead me to give it one star - I would NOT recommend this product![Update 28/05/08]

Review for Sony Ericsson MPS-70 Portable Speakers:
They come in a hardy clear plastic carry box that's about the size of a small spectacle case, are light and easily portable, and materials used, build quality etc are top notch.
You get brilliant sound quality with decent aural range out of them, amazingly they don't use batteries, instead drawing their juice from the phone. The wiring also serves as the antenna for your phone's radio, and reception is really clear. Volume is decent, but not having their own power supply does mean their sound level does top out at a satisfactory, rather than spectacular level. Still, perfect for overnights in hotel rooms. It's great to travel light with only 3 items for short trips - phone, charger, and speakers - rather than phone & charger, psp & charger, sound dock and batteries.
Highly recommended: when these arrived in the office and I tried them out, three of my colleagues with SE phones were so impressed with the sound quality and simplicity of them that they promptly went online and bought them too.

Awesome
I'd probably write exactly the same review as Tor (below) although his English would probably be better :)I couldn't believe how tinny and cheap they were - till I got the right size plugs on and understood how to insert them.
True clarity, bass, Tor is right about noticing things you never picked up on before.
I had a decent Sony pair prior to buying these - the quality is worlds apart.
If you need phones, and have £16, it's a total no brainer.
