Great first MP3 player
4 of 4 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: Bright Blue screen, expandable, easy to use, don't need special software
Cons: volume switch is not that great as it is also the menu toggle, so its not that fast when adjusting the volume. included carrying case is a bit tight and cheesy. Earbuds are not the best.
I bought this MP3 player for my sister as she has never had one before, and this one looked like the best choice. I love how easy it is to load the music into it. I didnt need any extra software and I could just load it by drag and dropping files into it. I just plugged the included cable into a USB port and thats all it took. The battery life in this thing is pretty good. I thought the buttons were fairly easy to use, but I do wish it could scroll through music instead of having to go through it song by song. It has a built in radio which seems to have good reception. My sister did complain that the included earbuds were not very good. It was an easy fix as she didnt like the "earbud" style anyway. The clear cas that comes with it is kind of cheesy but does a good job of protecting it from scratches. It is made of clear plastic and it was quite the job getting the player into it. It also comes with an armband. I like the fact that you can get another 1GB buy adding an SD card. When my Ipod dies this would be one of my choices for a replacement. ...

Great GPS System for the money
87 of 90 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: Comes with alot of extra's
Cons: It's a little slow on start up and sometimes is a bit off on locations
Over-all I love this thing. The pictures on the screen are great. The screen even changes color during diffent times of the day. The background is white during the day and black at night. This saves your eyes from getting burned out at night. It is easy to set up and I plugged it in and set it up in less then 10 minutes after leaving the store. All US and Canada maps are built in. Including all kinds of waypoints. I live in a small town and im impressed by how many places this thing already knows.It does seem a little off on some destinations by several feet but it always gets me in the right area. I beleive it goes off Postal address zones/areas. It shows my house at the begining of the small street I live on, instead of the end, but yahoo maps does that too. I am also using it in a small town and that might be part of the problem. It uses SD cards for the MP3 player. You can also buy preloaded language and book SD cards for it from Garmin. I havent had to deal with Garmin Support yet, but I did download some desktop software for it. It connects to your computer via a USB port. ...

Motorola V3
Pros: Looks cool, one port does it all, sleek design
Cons: uncomfortable to hold up to ear, short battery life
The first thing I noticed about this phone after i bought it is that the screens on this got dirty extremely easy. fingerprints, dust and dang near anything it comes in contact with. Cingular did not have a decent cas for it so i bought a body glove one from best buy. I still didnt look putting it up to my ear and so I ended up getting a blue tooth headset. The phone is wide and it makes it uncomfortable to hold for long stretches with out the earpiece. it could use a better display screen as pictures seem to look odd on it. I did however like the phone book and that you can assign , not only a different ringer to everyone but you can even assign a differnt picture or ringtone to each phone number you have for a person(home,work). I bought motorola phone tools for it for 30.00 dollars and its great i make my own ringtones with my mp3 songs all the time. speaker is loud. this phone has so many options I am still learning them. Battery life is short. I ended up having to get the car charger for it as it doesnt give you much warning when its about to die. It only came with a couple of demo games. I wish it had more memory. Overall its a great phone and I would buy it again. ...
