Sony Ericsson W880i

I am a dedicated SE fan and this is just the smartest phone i have had from the range.I have had a t610 K700 K750 K610 W810i K800i and now the W880i.Out of all the phones the K800i was probably the best but for style and build quality it is hard to fault the W880i.Even though it is incredibly thin (I still cannot believe they managed to squeeze everything in) it is remarkably well constructed with a steel front and tough plastic back which in itself is a touch of genius as it is coated with a very tactile non slip surface (you can set it on the dash of your car and it wont slip off).I think it looks well in either the traditional Walkman black and orange of in its stainless steel guise although the more fashion concious will probably go for the stainless look.Just on the level of gadgets fitted into this sliver of tech i have to say well done SE. Even though the cam is a 2MP it still produces a clear sharp picture and the bluetooth is the easiest to use that i have found in a mobile (unlike Motorolas attempt which is damn near impossible to operate) The trademark Walkman gubbins leaves this a respectable replacement for those who dont wish to carry an Ipod alongside their phone as it makes a fairly decent job of music playback and with a, usually bundled, 1GB M2 memory card there is ample room for songs, pictures, ringtones etc.The only drawback i could find was that the number keys are a bit on the small side if your digits resemble small sausages but they are still perfectly usable for the majority.Finally and i think this makes SE phones so likeable is the ability to change Themes at the touch of a button. Themes are a way to customise how each page of your screen looks and there are thousands freely available to download and install on your phone. The ultimate customization.Throw away your Nokia, Ditch the Moto and sling the Samsung. SE has got everything right with its range and there is a phone to suit all. Highly recommended to all.

cheap sony ericsson k800i

To all those wanting to buy a sony ericsson k800i! These phones are now for sale in the carphone warehouse at 99.95. The catch is that you need to top up 10 pound when you buy, but I find 109.95 much cheaper for a brand new phone than some of ebay's prices, which are generally second hand. Hope this helps

LG PRADA MOBILE PHONE

Absolutely fabulous phone, i love it. The design looks so ace and the full touch screen is amazing. The free games which come with the phone are half decent. The only downside is the lack of ringtones. Suppose i will finally have to learn how to download some. lol.

PAGERS - Do's and Dont's

Radio Paging has been available in the UK for many years nowand despite it's reduced popularity with the boom of the mobile phone, there are still benefit's in having a pager. Read on to make sure you don't end up buying something as useful as a chocolate fireguard !Once upon a time, there were many Paging service providers, including Mercury and BT - however the majority of paging companies have long gone and there remains only a few left, with PageOne being the main player and Vodafone running primarily arental only service. Take this into consideration when buying a pager so as not to buy something that simply doesn't work !Several years ago, BT and the telecoms watch-dog Ofcom ran a major upgrade to all telephone area codes which included the introduction of some new STD codes (eg 020 for London), plus the migration of all mobile numbers to start 07. The same project brought all pager devices together to start with an 07 number too. So, rule of thumb is that if a pager you're considering buying starts with an 07 number, you've more chance of it working when you get it (ask the seller, they should know). That's not to say that older pagers starting 08 won't work as it's possible that a quick call to PageOne with the pagers details might get it re-registered, but anything with a different prefix to mentioned, just avoid. (Contact PageOne for further advice - Google search them).There are also several types of pager and it's easy to buy the wrong thing. Most people think that all pagers will receive full text messages - this isn't the case. The basic pagers are known as Numeric and they quite simply receive a numbered message only. Callers to numeric pagers are greeted by an automated system that invites them to enter a numbered message on their telephone keypad and it's this number thats sent to the pager. It could be a telephone number or even an agreed coded message (i.e. 999 might mean ring home urgently).Alphanumeric pagers will receive full messaging. You can either send a numeric message as above, or be invited to speak with an operatorwho'll takea fullmessage (relatively short) that will be sent to the paging device.Site paging. These aren't generally advertised by this description, but there's a type of pager that is designed only to work in a small area i.e. within a hospital, factory etc. These are customized for the site they're working on only and the site can add or remove pagers from a local system as required. They are not full public pagers and as such can not be made to work with a paging service company !Finally ... there used to be Tone pagers - in fact there still are but you're unlikely to find them working on a non-rental service. They go bleep only (no display) whichprompts the user to ring home, office or whomever has the pager number. They don't get used much, so don't bother unless your buying one for your own private museum of past gadgets !Note specific for BT listed pagers: As mentioned, the BT network no longer operates. Generally, most BT pagers can't be re-registered, so should be avoided (unless you have access to some fancy reprograming and tweaking equipment).Although it's possible to have a pager operating on a monthly contract charge (pre-paid, similar to contract mobile phones), the most common pager you're likely to find on ebay is a CPP type, or Calling Party Pay's. Quite simply, this means there are no on-going charges or rental costs for the owner of the pager, but costs are recovered from the caller and charged to their BT phone bill. Costs vary but are generally between 25p and 40p per message.It's a difficult subject to write about completely and there simply isn't the space to comment on every type and model of pager, but the above is intended as a guide and pointer for prospective buyers. I hope this helps and you don't get caught out.

Scams from China

Beware that some sellers from china under funny usernames (e.g. kefptnealkk, museuswo11...etc) offering mobile phones and perhaps other items for a very atractive price under a scam opertion. if you cannot confirm the payment methode and the seller ID it's likely to be one of them and here is my story:I'm very new to ebay and last weekI placed my very first order. I was after imatejasjar mobile phone and i would say that i was desprate to blindness.the new item price is over

Buying/unlocking a Blackberry ? Read this!

Before spending a substantial amount of money on a new Blackberry, it is important to know these few things:1) Blackberry Storm: It is a Vodafone exclusive. Beware of sellers claiming that they got their phones unlocked by Vodafone, since Vodafone clearly stated that VODAFONE DOES NOT UNLOCK THE BLACKBERRY STORM. Also, beware of sellers who do not specify that they have the phones in stock, since the Blackberry Storm s2) Unclocking your Blackberry: When you buy a phone on a different network provider, you will need to unlock it to use it on your network. The cost will vary, however, once again, beware of people trying to sell you something that is completely FREE. Vodafone UK will provide the Network Unclock Code for free, provided you or a friend have a Pay Monthly contract. This is valid not only for Blackberries, but for any phone on Vodafone UK.3) Used Blackberries: Before buying, check with the seller that the phone has not been registered on any Blackberry Internet Service (BIS) because otherwise it can get quite difficult/costly to use any of the Blackberry data services, since the phone will need to be unregistered from the original network and sometimes this can be even impossible if the phone comes from another country of for some specific networks which require the original owner to unregister the phone.4)"Faulty" Blackberries: Some sellers try to sell Blackberries as faulty saying that these are unable to send/receive calls, while other services (emails, messenger, etc.) work perfectly. BEWARE! These are lost/stolen phones. In fact, when the Blackberry IMEI gets banned by a network, the Blackberry will display exactly these symptoms.5) Insurance fraud: Do yourself a favour: pay with Paypal and remember that it is always better to get a proof of purchase from the original owner. Why? Because many people try to fraud phone insurance companies in this way: they sell their phone on Ebay and, after some time, they declare it as lost/stolen to the insurance company which consequently bans the IMEI of the phone they sold and give the fraudsters a new phone. When you receive your phone, check the IMEI and immediately send an email to your seller asking to confirm that he sold you that phone. Also, in case the phone you bought from Ebay stopped working (making/receiving calls, etc.) this is most likely what happened! Try to recover all the information on the transaction from Ebay/ Paypal, tell the seller that you discovered what happened and eventually go to police!I hope you will find these informations useful and that you will help others to read this guide by voting it as useful!Have a nice Ebay experience and enjoy your phone! :)Lidia

Nokia N97 Debranding Guide

Ensure that you have installed the Nokia PC Suite (on the CD supplied with the phone), make sure thatyour phone is connected via the USB cable and that it has been detected. If you do not have thesoftware you can download it from Nokia here but you will needthe correct cable to connect your phone to you computer. This will be needed if you wish to backupyour contacts ect. If you do not wish to do a backup of your contacts then you can skip this step.2. Install the following 2 pieces of software:? Nemesis Service Suite (NSS)? The Nokia Software Updater3. Install Nemesis Service Suite. Open the program and then click the "Scan for new Device" icon in thetop right of the screen. The screen should then be filled with information, click the "Phone Info"button at the top of the screen. Then click the "Read" button. Amongst other things this will show youthe current product code of your phone. You now need to change this to a generic Nokia code.Replace the current product code with a new 7 digit code from the list at the end of the document,these are phone specific and the regions will determine what languages your phone will have. For theUK/US just use Euro1/2, there are also different codes for the colours of the phone but this will haveno difference to the update. Pick a code that most suits your region from the list below.Once you have your code replace your old code, then check the enable box and click the "Write button".You have now changed your phones product code! You can double check this by clicking the readbutton again; this should show your new product code.? You may at this stage wish to back up you contacts/files to carry over to the unbranded phone, to dothis use Backup utility within the Nokia PC Suite.? DEBRANDING YOUR PHONE WILL WIPE ALL MESSAGES CONTACTS ECT SO UNLESS YOU BACK THEMUP USING THE NOKIA BACKUP YOU WILL LOOSE THEM!4. You now just have to install the new firmware update. Make sure that you phone is connected to yourcomputer through the USB cable and then open the Nokia Software Updater that you previouslydownloaded. Follow the step by step instructions and install the new firmware. Do not at any timedisconnect the phone until it tells you that it is safe to do so. Note the phone will restart itself duringthe update process.5. That's it, you phone has now been debranded! You can now restore your files/contacts by going backinto the Backup utility, however I suggest that you do not restore settings to the phone as this putsback some annoying operator defaults such has changed menu layouts.6. If you wish to update your phones firmware in the future you simply need to use the Nokia Updateras usual as your phones product code will not need changing again.RM-505 (Global version) - currently

Scam - USB memory stick

Recently it has come to my attention that a scam is being operated high end USB memory sticks. The seller reprogrammes a 2gb memory stick to look like a 16gb or 32gb. The buyer gets the stick may take quite a while to fill it up beyond the 2gb by which time the buyer has left ve feedback. If you notice (I did) the seller immediately offers your money back so you do not give -ve feedback. The only way to check the size of the stick is to try filling it up. I have contacted 3 people who gave ve feedback from what looked like good sellers, all of whom found that they had been sold small sized memory mascerading as 16gb or 32gb! I suggest that you check any USB memory stick that you buy before you give feedback!

NOKIA N95 DEBRANDING

What is De-branding ?De-branding basically means removing awful operator firmware, and replacing it with the manufacturers original firmware. Hence converting your phone to the full spec as it was intended by the manufacturer. (the way it should be)What are the benefits of De-branding ?Once your mobile has been de-branded, you will notice all the menu systems are clearer, un-restricted, and often faster too. We also use the latest firmware to date, which will hold improvements on your old firmware. This often removes any software glitches that your phone previously had. Also some network firmware's prevent you uploading ringtones

absolutley fantastic pushchair! not only does it look good-but it's a great pushchair to use.adjustable handle height-great for me as i'm tall and dont need to bend over to push it.the seat is lightly padded and comfy and theres loads of room in there! the seat can be removed for cleaning (although this is tricky and should be avoided if possible! as it takes ages)it has a removeable hood with handy pocket's for storage,it can be used as a travel system with the maxi cosi and also the dreami carry cot-all of which i've used with it. i also have a matching cosy-toes and changing bag which are readily purchased but not cheap.(unless( i've been told )you have an aubergene older style quinny freestyle-the extras are hard to match)the shopping basket is big enough to hold a couple of bags full,you can also attach bags via a clip to the handles and its still stable.it is a dream to push,it has a swivel wheel-all wheels have suspension so its a smooth ride for baby too! it also has a break and bell on the handle-which sounds silly-but once you get used to the break,its strange pushing a buggy without one as it seems insecure.its stronge and well made, infact my 9yr old daughter sat in it quite comfortably on a long walk once,the buggy didnt show any signs of strain. its Durability is amazing.it is made of aluminum and i've left mine out in the rain twice now (oops) but it doesnt show any signs of rust ect.the down falls of the quinny in my opinion are that although its reasonably light-it doesnt fold up small unless you remove the wheels-but you really dont want to be doing this eveytime you go any where! and once folded the wheel touches the hood-which is'nt good if you've been on a muddy walk!this pushchair is a must if like walking or running in the country or on the beach, but its not for walking about town. the quinny is a REAL SOLID pushchair and is well worth the money, i recommend it-definatly the best pushchair i've owned and i've had a few!!.

MiniCall PageOne pager

I still have an old Motorola pager of this type. Not used it for a long time, and forgot that I had been informed (as another review in this series says) that the code has been changed to 07623 (from the old 01523). I have just tested it - phoned the number, and asked them to send me a message. It works!I am not planning to sell it, as it's a good back-up to a mobile phone, is small and neat, and is cost-free apart from an AAA battery that lasts for ages. (Caller pays approx. 50p). My internet researches suggest that new subscribers may have to take out a monthly contract, though: I'll wait and see if my new use of it brings a contract demand!UPDATE April 2008: It still works fine, and I have had no payment demand. I am glad I kept it.Berrybox

The Jabra SP5050 - is it any good?

Well, I was looking for a Bluetooth hands-free that would not be visible (i.e. stolen!) from the wife's car, while being very simple to use.We like simple technology - features and functions are great, WHEN you want them, the rest of the time they drive you bonkers!While I'm driving I don't want my phones menus and functionality, just to take clear voice calls and make them; as safely and legally as possible.The Jabra SP5050 hands-free Bluetooth, just works! Out of the box it's simple - you don't need to buy anything else (except a mobile phone...), it has a car charger and it's that simple.If you see a review of this machine anywhere, they all glow about the ease, simplicity and clarity.I was considering getting the wife one that recognises voice commands - but this is for the wife at 85MPH; so I wanted it as simple as possible and to just work.So why am I impressed:-No installation required.-Simple to use-Long battery Life-Switches off, if not paired with a phone for 15 mins-No need to connect to a computer - just use it.-Takes less than 30 seconds to change the phone - so I can use it too!-Can be put in the car/removed in less than 10 secs - take it on holiday.-Small and compact.No, I don't work for Jabra!But I do beleive in singing the praises of great usable products - which is becoming a rarity.Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
