an extra gig of room , fm radio , voice recorder , pim applications with sync to outlook .


this is really a no brain er .


i purchased this over the ipod mini because it had several nice features : extra 1g storage , wma support , replaceable battery , and especially that it wasn 't an apple product with their proprietary architecture .


better for the zen micro is outlook compatibility .


creative has excellent music software , a very responsive tech support group ( they are quick on firmware updates , and make them publicly available ) , and usually a good array of accessories .


the zen micro is no exception : in addition to the case , it comes with a neck strap , and has all of the necessary cables for syncing and charging .


the extra spare battery is just a neat bonus .


if i could , i 'd trade-up on my creative muvo2 and snag a zen micro tomorrow .


this is a perfect blend to accomplish both tasks .


i also own a retail store and this little guy easily plugs into my aux slot in the store 's sound system .


feature for feature , i find it a very sweet little player ; . equipped with a higher end headphone system , between this and th larger zen hardly use my home stereo system anymore .


on the whole , i 'm quite happy with the purchase .


the sound is bright and clear , the ability to store any mp3 's ( and not just apple-approved files ) is great , and i plan to make use of the storage space and sound recording from time to time .


the device looks very cool , i think ( exactly as the photos promise ) , it 's comfortable and lightweight in my jacket pocket , and the interface and controls are easy enough to navigate after a bit of practice .


no offense to amazon , but i was able to find one online for just over 200 bucks ( i 'm sure prices here will continue to sink ) , and that also seemed quite a good bargain for the amount of storage space .


i like some local stations , stern , and npr , and so the radio seemed like a great option .


have not had any issues with the headphones or fragility .


as i said , i don 't regret the purchase at all .


ball metaphor : i was hoping creative hit a home run here , and i think the zen micro is more like a stand-up double .


actually , the creative zen micro solves all that .


sound quality ? . phenomenal .


unarguably better than apple 's , and nice earbuds to boot .


your choice of ten colors in a beatiful package .


five gigabytes is plenty for my great albums .


tough as nails .


no skips , and it hasn 't faltered once ( despite your inevitable drop or two .


flawless .


) no locked-in proprietary business like apple ; . this baby plays wmas too .


the voice recorder is a beautiful add-on ; . not even necessary , but just an example of why apple just wants your money and creative labs wants to make a better player .


gets nice sound too .


the fm tuner is just a little spare icing on the cake .


in conclusion , this player is beautiful .


power for the tech-savvy , ease of use for the less fortunate .


but it ; . you won 't regret it .


this player is absolutely phenomenal , i haven 't had any problems , and if you 're worried you will have problems , i suggest buying it at a retail store that has a good return policy but anyways . . . i find the touch pad very easy to use , and i 'm surprised so many people have had problems .


the sound quality is superb , much better than that of an ipod , in my opinion .


the radio works excellent in my area , i 'm not sure everywhere else .


the software is very easy to use , and the transfer is super fast ! .


i 'm not gonna go into the features cause if you 're reading this review , you 've probably already looked at them , but i must say the dj feature if very cool and the removable battery is also a bonus ! .


the blue light also makes this player one of the most fashionable in the market also .


t simply the best player on the market for a really low price , so why look anywhere else ? .


i 've had it for about a week now and have to say it 's one of the best purchases i 've ever made .


it 's a great looking , easy-to-use device but it 's the sound quality which is truly amazing -- far better than my sony mini-disc player .


i have no problems with the touch pad ( once the sensitivity is set to low ) and the interface is a breeze to use without even looking at the pdf manual .


why bother when it works perfectly with media player 10 ? .


the extra gb is just a bonus .


if your looking for a great sounding mini player , you can 't go wrong with the zen micro .


it was a good player when it worked and i loved the design .


the creative zen micro , at first glance , is a dream come true for all mp3 and music lovers .


the zen offered a great alternative .


it 's easy to use , and makes transfering your cd collection to the player a cinch .


the clarity is unbelievable , which means you can cram almost the full 2 , 5 ! .


other mp3 players won 't give you the sonic clarity of the zen at this compression level , so i imagine they won 't at lower ones , either .


transfering mp3s are a cinch with the included software .


the zen plays mp3 , wma and wave formats , which makes it more versatile than the ipod .


the greatest thing about the software ( in my humble ) is that it reads your cd info .


track # , name , artist , album and genre is automatically-retrieved via internet-labeled , and properly categorized into the zen .


ks almost without fail , no matter what your taste in music is : from relaxation music to hard rock , to hip hop , to korean and japanese , to afro-cuban and salsa , jazz , blues , country and pop , this feature performs well .


oh , and another is the cool " halo " light that surrounds the touch pad , and light 's up when you touch the screen , and how the light glows when the zen is connected to the computer .


one : it 's size : it 's smaller than the ipod mini , and holds more music ( 5gb to the ipod mini 's 4gbs ) .


two : it has a removeable/rechargeable battery , so you don 't have to send the thing in when the re ! .


this player is fantastic in terms of audio quality , ease of use , and features .


otherwise , this is a great " alternative " mp3 player for those of use who don 't want to worship the mighty all-powerful apple .


i got it to use with the new $5-per-month service from yahoo ( music unlimited , ) and despite the above issues , i love it .


i have owned some kind of creative audio product since 1993 and have never had to call tech support .


the main issue now is that this new zen micro seems to be the best on the market at least temporarily .


it beats apple on the storage space , it beats apple on the removable battery ( and batter life ) , and i personally like its interface more than the ipod scroll wheel .


further , the tech specs suggest that it has better audio quality than the ipod .


i have had several mp3 players over the past few years , and have to say that this by far is the best that i 've owned .


however , the ipod does not come close to the number of extra features that the 'zen micro ' has to offer .


some features that the 'zen micro ' has that sold me on my purchase include : a 5g hard drive . . . actually an sd flash card drive . . . very large and much more than actually needed , the ability to sync with microsoft outlook 's calendar , the long battery life of about 10 to 12 hours ( i can change the battery myself for about $40 to buy vs .


sending the unit to the company of purchase which costs about $90 ) , the ability to record with a built-in microphone ( great for recording reminders and meetings ) , very sturdy construction , and not to mention . . . the sound quality is excellent ! .


as far as user interface is concerned , the best and easiest to use seems to be the one that comes with the player , 'creative mediasource organizer ' .


this program enables the user to batch convert and convert audio files from one format to another .


these include : mp3 , wave , wma , wma pro , and wma loss less ; . it is very user-friendly simply by right-clicking the file ( s ) to be converted .


by far this seems to be the best value out there for the money ; . if you are undecided , the creative zen micro seems to be the best choice .


when it 's working , it 's great but it is very temper mental .


this camera is perfect for an enthusiastic amateur photographer .


the pictures are razor-sharp , even in macro .


it is small enough to fit easily in a coat pocket or purse .


it is light enough to carry around all day without bother .


operating its many features is easy and often obvious - i 'm no annie levitt's , but i was able to figure out most of its abilities just messing around with it at a camera store .


the manual does a fine job filling in any blanks that remain .


the auto-focus performs well , but i love having the 12 optional scene modes - they are dummy-proof , and correspond to many situations in which i would actually seek to use the camera .


comes with a 16 mb compact flash and one rechargable battery the charging unit , included , is fast and small .


i enthusiastically recommend this camera .


it 's easy to use , and yet very feature rich .


in the auto mode it functions basically as a point and click , the scene modes are very easy to use and produce good results .


the manual mode is feature rich and i can 't wait to get the hang of it .


the macro mode is exceptional , the pictures are very clear and you can take the pictures with the lens unbelievably close the subject .


the battery life is very good , i got about 90 minutes with the lcd turned on all the time , the first time around , and i have been using it with the lcd off every now and then , and have yet needed to recharge it .


i fell in love with this camera , it combines ease of use , with an immense amount of options and power .


this camera is ideal for people who want more power , but do n 't want to spend 1000s dollars on a camera .


with nikon , although picture qualities are as good as any other 4 mp cameras , i 've had the following headaches ; .


but overall this is a good camera with a ' really good ' picture clarity ; . an exceptional close-up shooting capability .


otherwise , it takes very good pictures ; . shutter delay is n 't so bad either .


nikon 4300 , i feel , is the best camera out there for the features and price .


the pictures are absolutely amazing - the camera captures the minutest of details .


the possibilities with auto , manual , and the very helpful " scene " mode , which offers 11 optimized situational settings like portrait , landscape , beach / snow , sunset etc . , are endless .


the movie mode is also working great .


the 4300 comes with excellent easy to install software i use it on xp and win98 without problem , battery charger , usb and video cable .


i experimented with online print ordering with the two major us brick and mortar retailers , and they both delivered great results .


even at the " normal " setting , a 8x10 print ! . shows not a single sign of visible rendering or pixels - you could never tell that the picture has been taken by a " digital " .


the battery life is ok , but can be somewhat short when working a lot with the monitor on .


over all a fantastic very compact camera , which made us experience photography on a totally new level ! .


after nearly 800 pictures i have found that this nikon takes incredible pictures .


the digital zoom takes as good of pictures , as the optical zoom does ! .


i love all of the features , and presets as well .


sunset feature takes incredible pics in the morning , and the evening ! .


the software you get with this camera is perfect .


touch ups , redeye , and so on are very easy to alter , and correct .


battery life is good , although i recommend two rechargeable , or a alkaline backup , for those emergency pics you have to have .


all and all , i am extremely pleased with this camera .


great camera , great investment ! .


the nikon coolpix 4300 is wonderful -- easy to use , high quality , and compact in size .


the auto setting does a great job most of the time but there are manual settings for those who want them .


it has many great features and very few bad ones .


it takes excellent pics and is very easy to use , if you read the manual .


downloads are a snap and quick .


controls easy yo use and easy to get to .


i 'm extremely glad i bought this camera .


really happy with this little camera .


it is n 't big and offensive , though you would n 't know it by looking at the pics it takes .


settings for just about everything , beautiful pics and beautiful prints .


i expected the 12x digital zoom to be grainy , but on full size high to fine quality , the zoomed images are quite impressive .


still , at least from my perspective , a great camera for the money , and i 'm a happy camper ! .


this is a wonderful camera .


4 mp gives you room for the future gaining experience ; . cost offsets over time from wanting more in a camera , 3x optical and the fact that it carries nikon 's quality reputation behind it make the whole package prove itself worth wile at the price .


one neat thing - i have taken some pictures in what i thought would be impossible lighting conditions pitch black rooms - no problem for the camera - rooms looked like they had ample lighting .


this little camera has created a marriage between myself and nikon . never knew i could love a digital camera so much .


the software that comes with it is amazing and the online service that comes free is really very neat . clean clear and well focused on over 95 % of all photos taken by a beginner .


just point and shoot and the photos were great .


the memory card fit nicely since i also have a pocket pc and it automatically installed a picture software on my pda willa .


if you have to buy a camera on a bu get , this has got to be the one .


great camera , i have been using this for several months and got excellent results , simple friendly usage , in many scenes indoor , outdoor , snow , close up macro etc .


this is my first digital camera and i can say that i am quite impressed with the features that it has .


it is easy enough to use for a beginner like me but it has plenty of features for me to grow into .


i particularly like the way it aids me in taking my macro shots .


my friends were impressed with the quality of the pictures i took ! .


battery life is ok .


great camera , and for the price you can 't beat it .


i found the controls very intuitive and learned how to maneuver through the menus quickly .


the quality is superb .


the small size is perfect for my little hands , but may perhaps be uncomfortable or awkward for a bigger person .


the 4300 is a very durable , compact package , and i find nikon to be a brand that i can trust .


it really is an awesome camera that is hard to beat for general-to moderate snapping .


they take excellent macro shots as well .


the menus and features are easy to manipulate and access , and it takes silent movies .


i compared this to a lot of other cameras , believe me , it 's value for money .


the picture rs are amazing .


recently bought this coolpix 4300 along with a 256mb ultra flash card . as expected , i happily found that qualities of the picture are excellent with 3m-4m pixel / fine combos and many of the user-friendly functions are very similar to slr models , and with added convenience of a digital camera that you can see pictures immediately .


i particularly like the " txt " file which records all the control information for all the pictures you take .


the compact digital camera is especially useful if you have little children around and you can always take the camera with you and take many pictures of them .


a nikon will make you happier and leave you lots of good memories , as always .


i highly recommend this camera to anyone looking for a good digital camera that takes great pictures yet does n 't take weeks to figure out how to operate .


we take this camera with us everywhere and are constantly amazed at the quality of the pictures that we get and the number of different ways the camera allows for pictures to be taken .


i am a picture fanatic so i consider myself picky and if your the same way this camera will not let you down . now buy it ! .


i have it for a week now , and this camera has exceeded my expectations .


the daylight pictures are brilliant and the indoor shots are very good provided that your subject is no more than about 8 feet away .


uploading the images to my windows-based pc is very fast and simple .


in summary , i love this camera and would whole-heartedly recommend this to anyone wanting a high quality point and shoot camera in the medium price range .


great camera .


i am impressed with how easy this camera is to use .


it takes great pictures .


the manual is easy to understand , and it is mostly idiot proof .


it is small , unlike my canon slr , so it easily fits in my pocket .


i got this camera about a month ago and i can 't put it down .


i selected the 4300 right away and have gotten high quality pictures every time .


autofocus feels exactly like my film camera while scene and manual mode add a little fun challenge to it all .


i have not been disappointed with my purchase .


picture quality in outdoor settings is indistinguishable from 35mm .


i am extremely satisfied with this camera .


the " scene " mode works well for the remainder of shots that are not going to be in a " regular " setting .


however , its 3x optical setting is acceptable for 70 % of the shots that i take .


if you 're looking for a small , compact , super resolution digital camera , you can end your search with the nikon 4300 ! .


after a lengthy and extensive journey for a feature-loaded , high performance , travel size camera , i initially gravitated to this little gem because of the superior picture quality 4 mega pixel .


after using it for about a month , i can state unequivocally that this nikon definitely delivers a huge bang for the buck .


its easy to use and the sheer fun of being able to use an array of nikon accessories like the telephoto and wide-angle lenses is the proverbial icing on the cake .


yes , the picture quality and features which are too numerous to mention are unmatched for any camera in this price range .


the design and construction are excellent -- as is the legendary quality of the nikon optics .


there are so many functions in this little , yet powerful camera ! .


seriously ! . i love it ! .


but this camera is great ! .


the picture quality is amazing and you can connect it to your tv and could make silent movies that way if you wanted to .


it does have a lense cap , but it wo n 't let you take pics with it on which is real good .


the battery recharges raul fast and the recharger thingy that comes with is real nice .


ooh , and i dropped it and it still works fine : this little camera has so many features i have n 't even gotten to all of them yet .


it 's easy for beginners to use , but has features that more serious photographers will love , so it 's an excellent camera to grow into .


it 's light weight enough to take with you everywhere , but powerful enough to get outstanding pix .


i love the continuous shot mode , which allows you to take up to 16 pix in rapid succession -- great for action shots .


i 'm amazed at the photo quality -- prints are indistinguishable from 35mm prints .


1 it has all the features an amatuer photo-enthusiast would want .


2 it is easy enough for my grandmother to use .


3 it is very compact but the controls are so well designed that they 're still easy to use .


6 the nikon coolpix line is a well-established line so you know support and parts are going to be available even when nikon releases a newer model .


7 picture quality is excellent .


8 battery life is excellent .


9 3x built-in optical zoom is a lot for this price range .


10 great price for all the features .


this camera was affordable , very easy to learn , and produces spectacular images .


the auto-mode is good enough for most shots but the 4300 also boasts 12 versatile scene modes as well as a manual mode though i admit i have n 't played with it too much on manual .


it 's size also makes it ideal for travel .


overall the nikon 4300 is a very dependable , robust , and useful little camera .


awesome camera with huge print quality in a tiny package .


the same 4mp chip from the 4500 camera , plus a 3x zoom with the ability to expand upon that with extenders , great closeup mode , long lasting rechargable battery , etc etc .


in my opinion it 's the best camera for the money if you 're looking for something that 's easy to use , small good for travel , and provides excellent , sharp images .


i 've had this beauty for nearly 2 months now and i truely love it .


it has it all .


this is the first phone i know of that has the large bright screen , infrared , bluetooth , usb connector and a speakerphone .


if you are looking for an upgrade , this is definitely the phone for you .


3660 had similar features , but that is big in size .


6600 looks and feels nice .


this one is full of features ( has bluetooth ) .


especially the lcd is big and the camera quality is among the very best around .


i have set up it 's pda features with avaunt . com where you can download info from sites like weather , map quest maps/directions into it , which is great .


using supplied s/w , you can transfer all addresses from a different nokia phone into it .


goes ~3 days after a charge .


i must add to the dismay/delight of readers this phone is simply the most groundbreaking phone mankind has ever held .


it has raised the bar owing to number of features it offers and the absolute ease of use delight .


1 . the phone has the best keypad any nokia phone has to offer .


believe me when i say this i have used and fingered all nokia phones and the 6600 has the best keypad


i must admit its not the best looking phone ever but then it has this look of static and absolute conviction that looks like everything a phone should be


3 . the nokia 6600 has a brilliant java interface .


the phone offers a 32 mb mmc card and i think that is certainly the most exciting feature .


capacity is not a problem here .


4 . the build is just right .


the phone is sturdy .


i 've dropped it at least a dozen times to my recollection and it still works as good as ever .


its a tough one this unless you wanna drive your car over it .


this isn 't the most rugged phone ever but then your not gonna play airplane with this , are you .


5 . the camera installed on this phone is awesome .


i click pictures in jog format and because the phone has a bluetooth device i find it extremely easy to transfer pics to my pc and forth .


the display and brightness on this phone is quite extraordinary .


the use of 65536 ( 16bit ) colors ensures you get your share of animations and icons on your phone


it has great incredibility .


the log functions helps you track down the incoming , outgoing calls in the most easy of ways .


the handsfree provided by the phone is useful for those who talk on the phone while driving .


this makes for a great phone .


since then , i have not found one major problem with it .


i highly recommend it if you are looking for a phone with great camera quality and/or lots of features you would find in a pda .


i own this phone for about 6 months now , i have used the following features : bluetooth connection to laptop and desktop for sync contacts and calendars with outlook , transfer files ( movies , songs ) , i have many movies on it now with a 512mb memory card that it takes .


handsfree future is good , but not too exciting .


this one has a good looking .


it 's oval and . . . nice .


i like it 's shape and it 's keypad and joystick .


it 's easy to use . not too small , and not too big .


the screen is quite big ( between all hand phone ) , but the just about 65000 color .


few month ago , it 's very popular among my community .


it 's good .


: ! . ok , score 7 . 0 oh yes , the newest color of this phone is quite cool .


while this phone obviously doesn 't have the same quality construction as motorola does , the nokia 6600 is one of the better phones i 've used .


what makes it so great is the versatility and the number of features it has .


1 ) great audio quality overall .


handset quality is great , as is the speakerphone quality and the headset audio quality .


a decent camera phone for taking quick pictures , movies , and having general all around fun with .


3 ) the joystick design they are using on the new nokias gives you a great degree of control .


4 ) one nice thing about nokias is that they have a ton of ring tone and game choices .


if you love your cell phone games or changing your ring tones everyday , nokia beats everyone else .


5 ) bluetooth wireless technology , so that i can transfer data to and from my computer without messing with any cables .


6 ) the phone is really wide , which seems to be a turnoff for many people , but the phone is actually easier to grip and feel more ergonomic .


i feel much less likely to drop this phone than others , which are actually starting to get too small .


i can tell using the phone that it feels a little flimsier than motorola's do , but as long as i 'm not planning on dropping the phone or running over it with my car it should be just fine .


other than that it meets or surpasses all of my needs and surely won 't disappoint any already established nokia phone fans .


applications : it has lots of applications and they work very well . . . when you eventually find where they are and they finally open .


the 6600 has more amenities than most - world phone , camera ( vga/zoom/night mode/timer ) , video ( w/ audio & zoom ) , speaker ( good sound ) , bluetooth , infrared , modem for computers , electronic wallet , internet access , calendar , calculator , converter and more .


dependability : i 've seen no glitches .


i 've had no problems w/ this phone .


although it has chubby hips , the device isn 't really so big .


solid , squeak-free , large screen .


memory/storage - seemingly boundless .


first of all , the phone houses a great deal of memory for multiple videos , sound clips , photos , texts , etc .


secondly , all info can be sent to a computer and w/o the hassle of usb wires .


the 6600 ( t-mobile ) is the true 'world phone ' in that it has the mhz to operate around the globe , including new zealand and australia ( 900 ) whereas the 6620 ( available from singular ) replaces it w/ 800mhz ( some refer to as 850 ) .


the latter will provide better coverage in more remote areas of the states but still operates in many countries , excluding new zealand and australia .


as the 6600 uses 900mhz , it operates in more countries than the 6620 .


the battery life is less than stellar , but it charges w/ the quickness .


remember , this phone uses an operating system - symbian . . . and it 's feature-rich w/ 65k colors .


it films 10 second video , for crying out loud .


there are number of downloads needed/available for this phone & they will be text ed to you at no cost .


a sony erickson may be the phone for you . . . but good luck finding one w/ all the features & such a competitive price .


despite a critical start , this phone deserves four stars because it accomplishes what it sets out to do ( which is pretty lofty ) . . . does more than most . . . does it well . . . is dependable .


this phone is one of the best i 've ever used .


it has everything i needed : bluetooth , infrared , support for mmc , camera , and a good operating system with lots of supporting software .


i would have given this phone 5 stars if it wasn 't for the fact that i would rather use my 3330 to do all the most common things you do with a phone .


the plusses are the features , look , good signal and battery life , memory size and robustness .


the camera and video functionality is decent , i can 't see myself wasting my time with it , but some people will .


this is a great phone i have this phone since feb 04 and i never have any problem at all .


very cool features . . . great camera with zoom . . . cool quality pictures . . . great ringtones . . . bluetooth feature is great . . . .


this thing does everything but washes your dishes .


i can use it as a modem for my computer , connect with clients and friends , the possibilities are endless .


the ringtones are beautiful , the screen is super high quality .


i do not need to repeat what 's great about this phone .


i never had a single problem .


it is nokia and thus easy to access the menu options .


high quality video and pictures rock ! .


3 band and you can just change the sim card in it to be able to use it in europe with another service provider .


bottom line great phone for the time being .


i use a nokia 6600 , it has a great color tft display and camera equipped with zoom , which complement a built-in video recorder with audio and a real one player for playback and streaming of 3gpp-compatible and real media video clips .


multimedia functions are enhanced by multi-slide mms messages and a gallery for organizing digital content captured or downloaded with the phone .


the nokia 6600 is a decent extension of the smart phone line .


the phone has such advantages as the excellent keypad and display , long rundown time and a good software suite .


in short , the nokia 6600 is an evolution but not a revolution .


i 'm sure you can read the specs above to see everything it does , but for me the best thing is that i can easily check my email , movie times , news , or any website with this phone .


you can take pic of your friends and the picture will pop up when they call .


give each friend a different ringtone .


get great themes and wallpapers for this phone and many many polyphonic rings .


a huge beautiful color screen which can not been scratched at all even with the rough handling i give it .


nokia makes great phones , and this one is the cream of the crop .


best phone i 've ever owned , period .


frankly , i think this is one of the niftiest pieces of hardware i 've ever used .


it is slow to initially start up , but once it 's turned on , i 've never had any complaints about the speed .


everything , so far , has worked flawlessly .


all at the same time , and all without a hitch .


i think the interface is great .


i actually purchased two phones recently ( this one at the new blackberry phone ) , and this one is far superior ( imho ) .


i love the features , the interface , the size ( the screen is a delight ) , the camera ( though i admit i 'm not much of a camera user -- so just a toy for me ) , the internet connectivity , the quality , etc .


if i had to do it over , i wouldn 't buy anything else .


upside : this one , like most nokias , receives a consistently strong signal ( i 've tried some samsung and sony ericsson models which were very weak on the reception front ) .


i love the bluetooth ; . easy to use with a wireless abra headset .


photos are pretty darned good ! .


probably a great phone overall , and perhaps mine just has bugs .


with one of the most intuitive user-interfaces around , seamless bluetooth sync with microsoft outlook , support for thousands of applications for the symbian platform which this phone runs on ( i own the ir remote , iq and a few others ) , the nokia 6600 is all of the above - one of the few phones from t-mobile that can claim such a distinction .


ive had this phone for a year now - and its the best phone i have owned .


this may be a really cool phone , but it 's not worth it with t-mobile .


this phone is fantastic .


great reception , visibility and interface ( may be complicated by others ) .


i highly recommend this phone .


i had a sony ericsson t610 before this and the t610 is far inferior .


im able to keep my phone on for about a week ( mostly stand by ) to three days ( regular use )


but this by far is the best phone out there right now ! .


i have a hard time using other phones with smaller screens ! . ! . ! .


the pics can be touched up in photoshop , and be printed at 4x6 and they look great ! .


i also use the phone as my modem via bluetooth to my apple power book ! .


the speed is the same as dali up , where i live we do not have wifi everywhere so this is my version of it until we catch up .


the phone itself is pretty nice .


camera quality isn 't bad for the low resolution .


this phone has a nice blend of features without going overboard .


i was looking for a phone which synced with mac osx using bluetooth , had decent battery life , could check email , had good reception , nice screen size and was durable ( i break often break small gadgets )


the interface is simple to use .


i have a couple hundred contacts and the menu loads within a few seconds , no big deal .


i did notice if you turn the phone on and off the os takes a bit to load up and initially the menus are slower but once the phone has been on and booted up the menus are reasonably quicker .


the camera is adequate and if i want high-res photos i 'll use my digital camera instead .


on the t-mobile service i was able to take pics as we drove across i-70 and email them to family & friends once we reached a t-mobile tone ( usually a major city ) .


outside of the t-mobile service area the phone seamlessly jumped onto at&t wireless and various other services where the t-mobile service was unavailable .


as i drove across the country i lost reception only in eastern kentucky 's mountains .


along the way we compared it to my wife 's t720i and the 6600 was superior in terms of battery life , connectivity bars and features .


for those mac osx users out there , isync works fairly well .


and bluetooth does not drain the battery as quick as i thought it would , i usually can go 1 . 5 days with bluetooth on along with making calls before i need a full recharge .


with bluetooth off the phone last almost twice as long .


the nokia 6600 is a great phone , good games , good camera .


the voice recorders good , but you can 't record songs off the radio for ring tones .


the games are decent , but u only get 2 to start off with .


but you can download some really good ones like pac-man or mafia wars .


overall the phones fantastic , and i would have given it 5 stars , but its not perfect .


the battery on mine lasts 2 days if i don 't play games that much , and it only takes 90 mins to charge from flat .


this phone has the best battery , it lasts longer then my old 3210


i got a 1gb mmc upgrade for this phone and now i can :


1 . record around 1 hour of video with phillips camcorder pro .


2 . take around 10 , 000 640x480 pictures .


3 . play java games on it .


4 . play n-gage games on it .


5 . check traffic411 . com for la traffic on the 405 .


6 . play game boy color games on it with go boy .


7 . have a good chunk of my small mp3 to listen through the speaker phone .


8 . connected the phone to my tablet pc and now can access company von at 56k speed via bluetooth .


clear the call logs once in a while to speed up the phone people ! . ! . ! .


as for bluetooth , no problems at all .


i 've connected the phone with two laptops and a ipa 4155 .


very simple and painless .


this is the first cell phone i 've owned , and overall , i am quite pleased with it .


among my requirements for a phone were : good screen , decent camera , bluetooth , and gprs support .


the 6600 was the best phone i could find with these options that i could get with t-mobile .


one primary reason for getting a cell phone was so that i could use it as an internet connection for my laptop running linux , where soft modem drivers are hard to find , and don 't work very well .


if you are using linux , and you want to use gprs to connect to the net , i suggest this phone along with a belkin usb bluetooth adapter .


i have really enjoyed the camera on this phone .


and the phone has a very cool feature which allows you to send images via a normal pop3/smtp e-mail account .


i will also say that setting up the e-mail account was very simple and straight-forward , although you do need an external smut server to use .


the phone can use any midi audio file as a ringtone .


which is really nice because you can get pretty much any piece of music in midi format for free on the net .


you can use the ob ex file transfer service with bluetooth from linux ( kde-bluetooth provides a nice integration into conqueror for this ) for sending files to the phone .


the fact that you can assign ringtones to people and/or groups is really cool .


i really dislike holding a phone to my ear , and i 've found the free speak to be very comfortable and easy to use with this phone .


but if you use all bluetooth accessories , as i do , its really not an issue .


all in all , this is a great phone .


especially for the price amazon gives it at ( i was unable to get mine through amazon due to some credit complications ) .


if you use linux and want gr ps and/or want to use a handsfree bluetooth device , and want a decent camera -- this is the phone for you .


i really love this phone . . .


you actually can talk to a real person for support in under an hour ! . ) .


have had the nokia 6600 for a year now and am generally very happy with it and with t-mobile .


it offers way more features than i need but the ones i use work well .


i almost always get a good strong signal , even in fairly remote areas here in the southwest .


the sound quality is excellent and the speaker phone couldn 't be easier to use .


i like the size and shape .


it fits comfortably in my hand and pocket .


it also works just fine for international calls .


it 's a bit pricey to call home from other countries but the instant messaging to and from covered countries in europe are quite reasonable .


it 's really well made and has survived sliding across floors and pavement without a scratch .


i 've had nothing but good luck with t-mobile .


their customer service agents are always prompt and polite and my service is terrific .


i never get dropped calls .


i recommend t-mobile and the nokia 6600 without reservation .


the nokia 660 runs the symbian os , which works pretty well for most standard phone fare , most of the stuff is not that intuitive , but if you actually learn how to use it all , there 's plenty of neat tie-ins .


i 've had this phone for almost a year now and it has been nothing but great to use .


i can connect to my computer via bluetooth to transfer images , calender events , contacts and anything else .


another great feature for me anyway is the ability to load . wav sounds as ringers .


this way i never have to be ripped off by the carrier for stupid ringtones , i can get whatever i want .


other than that , the simian series 60 os is great and offers lots of proprietary software that will work on your phone if you 're willing to hunt for it .


initially these phones were fun to play with some of the cool features like the speaker phone , web browser and of course the built in camera .


the good : 1 ) large lcd screen , colorful display , good resolution .


2 ) nice features , like web browser , camera , video recorder , speaker phone ( very usefully ) , clear voice reception .


3 ) joy stick for eazy navigation , 35mb memory card to store the pictures and stuff .


the bottom line is " phone is cool one - only for the moment , as its the latest phone in the market and has all the new features , but this will soon be displaced by upcoming newer phones " .


if you are looking for a phone to integrate as easily as the sonyericsson phones with isync , i say stick with a sonyericsson .


it is a multifunction phone , reception quality is better than the 610 .


speaker phone quality is good , and poping in a 512mb mmc card , it rocks ! .


putting in mp3 player , lots of games and application to download .


i got this phone yesterday and didn 't find any problems with it yet .


picture and video quality is ok .


love the speaker phone .


incredible memory ! .


aside from a 6mb++ built-in phone memory , there 's a 32mb mmc card that goes with it ! .


picture quality 's great for still and video with sound .


you can record your voice and turn it into a ringtone .


n6600 supports midi , wav , arm , mp3 etc .


it has a handsfree loudspeaker , conference and transfer ! .


i love this phone .


this phone is one of the milestones in the history of the cellular phones .


supporting an operating system , symbian os , you can download and run a lot of programs on this phone .


you can turn this phone into a gaming machine , a camcorder or a digital camera , an mp3-player , a movie viewer , a voice recorder , a personal secretary , a gaps map browser , a book , a multifunction remote controller , practically everything that you can do with the computer , plus it is a phone ( ! . ! . ) and also you can carry it in your pocket : ) .


many of these programs are shareware , some can be purchased by paying a little bit of bucks .


it uses the extend able mmc memory , it is perfect for storing videos , pictures and mp3s .


its nice look is also a plus .


and also , since it is teri band and since it uses sim-card , you can just use it in europe and many other parts of the world , wherever gsm exists .


i am just in love with this phone , especially after using a more primitive phone about 3 years .


there is much which has been said in other reviews about the features of this phone , it is a great phone , mine worked without any problems right out of the box .


i have had the phone for 1 week , the signal quality has been great in the detroit area ( suburbs ) and in my recent road trip between detroit and northern kentucky ( cincinnati ) i experienced perfect signal and reception along i-75 , far superior to at &#38 ; . t 's which does not work along several long stretches on that same route .


my favorite features , although there are many , are the speaker phone , the radio and the infrared .


the speaker phone is very functional and i use it in the car , very audible even with freeway noise .


the infrared is a blessing if you have a previous nokia and want to transfer your old phone book to this phone , saved me hours of re-entering my numbers .


here 's the brief synopsis : the phone is tiny , cute , feels kind of " plastic-like " ( as if it might break ) , but seems pretty sturdy .


it has lots of little cute features , my favorite being the games and the pim ( personal information manager -- i . e . organizer ) , and the radio ! .


on the up-side , the phone has amazing battery life .


i do like this phone overall ( would give it a 3 . 5 ) , but unfortunately , i am returning it .


in all fairness , customer reps are very nice , and they ( most of them ) try hard to answer your questions .


t-mobile is trying very hard , and again -- they do have pretty good csr 's .


i 'm staying with sprint , and though i fear that their csr is n 't nearly as good as t-mobile 's , the clarity of their reception is exceptional .


while i like the performance of the phone in every regard , i would buy another one solely upon the apparent indestructibility of it .


i highly recommend a nokia 6610 .


no other color phone has the combination of features that the 6610 offers .


from the speakerphone that can be used up to 15 feet away with clarity , to the downloadable poly-graphic meg atones that adds a personal touch to this nifty phone .


whether you 're taking a brisk jog , waiting for a bus or just having lunch at the park , you 'll be glad you had the fm radio .


i treat the battery well and it has lasted .


overall this has been my favorite phone that i have owned .


it has a nice color screen .


it is small .


t-mobile was a pretty good server .


while i had the phone , the positive features were : good sound quality and an excellent fm phone and earpiece .


the two biggest things is the excellent working speakerphone " unlike the nokia 3650 " and the superb reception nokia is known for in the gsm phones they make . . .


this phone is a winner . . .


anything this phone does , it does perfectly .


the speakerphone , the radio , all features work perfectly .


this phone has a very cool and useful feature -- the speakerphone .


as said before this works perfectly .


you can adjust the volume to be heard anywhere or so that it does n 't make that big of a disturbance .


the person on the other end of the call can hear you perfectly .


you can be up to about 3 feet away from it and it will still work perfectly .


this phone is one of the few phones that have an fm radio tuner built in .


this radio receives fairly decent reception but not nearly as good as a normal radio , but as long as the stations are coming in clearly the phone 's radio should work perfectly .


i bought this phone for my trip to south africa and it worked almost perfectly .


anywhere i went in south africa this phone received full bar reception .


another benefit of this phone is that it is truly an international phone ; . the 6610 is sold in almost everywhere in the world .


this means that there is a good chance that this phone will not break easily like typical american phones .


when you put this phone in your pocket you forget it is there ; . it is unbelievably small and oh , so light .


this is a benefit for many reasons ; . one being just for appearance , your pants wo n 't be bulging with this phone in your pocket .


the battery life on this phone is surreal .


i 've used the speakerphone for almost two hours once and the battery did not even go down one single bar .


it is amazing that the battery lasts so long when the phone is so small and light .


this phone has many other features , ir , ; . just to name one , the features above i view as the most beneficial .


overall , i highly recommend this phone .


it is a perfect phone in such a small and appealing package .


size - extremely small and convenient will fit in your pocket and not bother you .


sound - excellent polyphonic ringing tones are very nice ( check cons ) it also doubles as a radio , which is a nice feature when you are bored .


speakerphone - loud and clear has some nice extra features like currency converter and a stopwatch .


surfing the web on it is nice as well , i just wish there were more wap pages available .


nice little phone . . . light compact . .


although the nokia 6610 is a little short on the features department , it is an outstanding piece of hardware for doing what it was primarily meant to do : to be a wireless telephone .


the reception and sound quality are top-notch .


i like the size and weight of this little critter .


i am able to carry it close to my body , in places where other phones are not so easily concealed .


the screen is bright , easy to see in the daylight , with nice colors .


it receives very nice mms pictures from other gsm phones .


but , then again , the ringer can be so loud that i heard it ringing inside my office , when i was already out on the street . . .


- light , compact design


- solid , high-quality construction


- well-backlit keypad


- outstanding signal reception


- excellent sound quality


- bright , visible screen


- speakerphone


- very long-lasting battery life


one of the best cell phones i have ever used to-date .


i like the speak phone function a lot .


i am very pleased with its quality and durability .


i like the automatic key lock function .


the phone is very light weight .


the screen is bright and ring tones are unlimited .


the fm radio is cool .


while going for a cellphone , i was fully determined to buy a nokia only as it is the best in cellphones .


and really this is the best phone one could have .


it has all the features one would need in a cellphone .


it is lightweight , sleek and attractive .


this phone is very user-friendly , easy to manipulate &#38 ; . very convenient to scroll in menu etc .


it has fm radio option and i can listen to music anytime .


its speakerphone option allows us to do long talks conveniently , lying on bed &#38 ; . phone lying by your pillow side .


it comes equipped with lot of wallpapers and polyphonic sweet tunes .


i am enjoying my phone a lot . . . .


small size .


i love the fact i can carry it in my shirt or pants pocket and forget about it .


color screen is good .


it has lots of features such as the calendar which works like my outlook calendar .


the keys are laid out normal so there is no guessing .


navigating through the menus is super easy , especially if you have owned a previous model nokia phone .


battery life is very good , i use it every day and i have to charge it every 5 or 6 days or so .


nokias have always had good sound quality and this is no exception .


the loud speaker function on the 6610 is great because you do n 't need to put your phone right next to your ear to talk .


i like my phones to be small so i can fit it in my pockets .


overall this is a slightly better than average phone .


this is the best phone i have seen .


the phones are awesome .


we hardly ever have to charge them , get great reception ( live in chicago ) , and the customization and applications are awesome .


you can do * so * much more with the pc suite , i . e . free ringtones from midi files , free graphics from any picture on your computer , and if you know how to program jame you can even make your own apps / games .


the phone 's sound quality is great ( turn up the volume if its too quiet , people , this thing will get loud ) i dont have any complaints about this phone and the only thing that i miss from my 8290 is voice dialing .


i bought this slick phone and i am very happy with it .


nice and small and excellent when it comes to downloading games , graphics and ringtones from www . crazy cellphone . com


i just purchased this phone and i think this is the coolest phone i ever had .


the features are really cool like the radio .


the first night i got this phone i put it next to me when i went to bed just to listen to my favorite music station and the handset itself doesnt weight anything its too light and feel so comfy with it .


technology wise , i think this is awesome plus the speaker makes it even great ! . ! . ! . ! . i love this phone ! . ! . ! .


for a specific location , i still think its a great phone .


this really is a great little phone ; . its got nice features , a beatiful screen , great ergonomics , and its tiny ! .


this phone won me over , and a big seller was the size ; . it fits nicely into any pocket without falling out .


nokia was my first non flip phone , and i 'm glad i decided to go with them .


first of all , my calls were loud and clear , unlike with sprint .


i could make phone calls from locations i previously could not ( like my apartment ) .


the phone is small , light , and very attractive .


the battery life is amazing .


the color screen is a plus , as are the polyphonic ringtones .


i 'm not one who uses web browsing , so this phone easily met and surpassed my needs .


i highly recommend this phone to anyone .


it is a great phone , if you are traveling all over the world , packed with wonderful features .


this is a very light phone - a little less than 3 oz , with long battery life ( not as long as the new polymer technology ) .


the hands-free speakerphone is quite powerful ( like the motorola phone , i used to own ) .


i simply love this feature .


in addition it comes with a sleek and powerful headset .


the built in fm radio is excellent for people traveling by public transport .


the pc sync feature is superb that comes with nokia pc suite software ( with data cable or infrared port or bluetooth ) .


additionally , it has more fun stuff like more tones , wallpapers , screen saver , stop clock , alarm , java applications ( chess , currency converter etc . )


the mobile text messaging , chat , picture sharing etc . other niceties , that you would enjoy .


the mms technology is very well integrated with this phone , which you will enjoy .


i can recommend this phone to anyone , anytime .


not only is it the perfect size ( not too small , not too large ) , it also has all the features a high-tech phone user would want .


in true nokia style , the phone is simple to use and despite its delicate appearance , this little guy is as durable as other nokias i have owned .


the phone book is very user-friendly and the speakerphone is excellent .


even better , with the optional headset you can listen to music over the integrated radio .


however , the battery life is good enough you should n 't be overly concerned with turning this phone off .


overall this is the best phone i have ever owned .


nokia does not disappoint in this model .


it has great battery life , fm radio , excellent signal , hands free speakerphone ( which i have to say is probably my favorite function ) and downloadable java apps .


great phone . . .


great features . . .


i did a ton of research and settled on this phone because of the small size , speakerphone option , great priced calling plan and access to my corporate email .


i have had no problems with the phone .


great phone , i 'd buy another .


excellent phone , the phone looks much better than what u see in the pictures .


overall an excellent phone .


the service from t-mobile is very good too .


great phone , easy to use , excellent network , no regrets ! . ! . ! .


i purchased this phone for just 50 $ and there is no end to what i can do with it .


nokia and t-mobile really teamed up well on this baby .


service is great as far as i can tell , features work like a charm , ringtones are high quality if you buy them from t-mobile and aim is great .


this is probably your best bet if you are looking for a phone in this price range , or like me , do not have the patience to deal with annoying flip phones .


1 month , no problems , great phone i 'm very pleased with my 6610 phone .


yes , the features are numerous .


the speakerphone works better than any speakerphone i 've ever had .


the sound quality is excellent , except , maybe a * tad * too quiet at times when there are quieter talkers on the other end of the line .


the included earpiece is very comfortable and easy to use .


i have not had any distortion problems with this phone and am more pleased with this phone than any i 've used before .


first let me say that it is much smaller than it looks on the web and it also looks better .


the radio feature has superb sound quality .


it has a classic design yet looks hip .


it is extremely light and disappears in your pocket .


the battery is alot better than most of the phones out there .


this phone is great as a whole and is not like others with one or two good qualities .


it does well in all aspects of internet browsing .


battery life is good for a phone of this size .


but anyway , the only thing you should really look at here is the fact that the phone does have voice dialing .


great screen and great sound .


the 6610 excels as a cell phone , thank god .


the voice quality is very good , and it gets great reception ( that is , in places where you get t-mobile coverage , which is not that good ; . see below ) .


the color screen makes this free-after-rebates phone shine bright , and commands are very responsive .


other than that , this is a perfect phone for those of us with no patience for flips .


the nokia 6610 is a relatively new phone , and what a great phone it is .


after using it , i found the size to be perfect for carrying in a pocket .


it is just a tad small to hold to your ear with your shoulder , but that is solved with the very comfortable handsfree ear-piece which is included .


when i turned the phone on , the first thing that hit me is how good the screen is .


the resolution is very good and the colors are bright and even changeable ! .


the ringtones included are awesome , and did i mention they were polyphonic ? .


you can also assign special rings and graphics to special people when they call .


the phone also sports an image gallery ( with option camera attachment ) , a calendar / organizer , alarm clock with snooze , fm radio ( way cool , even if it is just through an ear-peice ) , games , java applications and gprs high-speed internet connection .


all my questions or problems have been quickly and satisfactorily resolved .


the rate plans are also very good , at least for me .


this phone is highly recommended otherwise .


nokia makes a great phone , that 's clear .


with all its complicated features , the menus are easily accessible and the quality of the features is great .


this phone is good with a huge array of features built into it .


the design is sleek and the color screen has good resolution .


it is very light weight and has a good signal strength .


but , i would definately recommend this phone .


it is crystal clear .


this is one of the nicest phones nokia has made .


sound quality : the ipod 's sound quality is pretty good .


the bass is deep and the treble is clear .


ease of use/design : the ipod is a very easy to use mp3 player , and if you can 't figure this out , you shouldn 't even own one .


the ipod is a fine cousin to the early macs and current offerings from jobs and company .


long live apple , long live macs , and long live the ipod ! .


i have an ipod and it is a great buy .


very sturdy and strong .


the software with the ipod includes itunes , which allows you to play the music on your computer , rip cds onto your computer , and move your music from the computer to the ipod .


this new click wheel ipod allows you to navigate through the menus and song via a touch-wheel for scrolling and click-able buttons for selection .


the song quality of the ipod is excellent , and the included ear buds are actually more than satisfactory , for most users .


battery life keeps improving on the ipod , and a new ipod will give you up to twelve hours of play time , per charge .


thank you apple ! . you make fabulous products .


the product i rate five stars ,


plus , if you order from amazon . com , they will exchange it for you no problem .


this one has a color display , which i like a lot , being very visual .


i loaded a lot of photos into it and they display very clearly for such a small screen and , very importantly , the transition from one photo to the next is instantaneous .


the sound is just fine .


it comes with an adapter to plug into the wall , which i hear is a step up from the other ipods , which require you plug it into a computer to charge it .


pros : large hard drive for the $$ -- 20gb and 40gb are both affordable .


decently sized screen -- one of the larger ones on the market at 2 "


decent battery -- on the average size , but the 40gb comes with a dock .


firewire & usb2 . 0 -- for those fortunate enough to have firewire400 , your in for a real treat with auto sync .


great design -- very sleek and touch wheel has still never been successfully copied ( virtual ones are the only competition ) ; . and now the wheel clicks , taking away a lot of headaches from 3rd gen and very navigable in the menus .


good sound -- plays very nicely , even though the stock headphones are kind of weak durable -- not the most durable because its mostly plastic , but very compact and sturdy


games -- not really important , but exist ant


hold button -- suprisingly not all mp3s have this ; . this allows you to have all the buttons unusable , so that you don 't accidently hit something in your pocket .


. itunes -- this is a love-hate relationship program ; . usually people with mac like this program than people with a pc , but depending on your computer expertise , this could be a difficult program to use , and it is required for an ipod .


comments : overall this is still a great value , but is kind of overrated in the sense that there are beater deals on the market .


versatile and stylish .


i had a casio unit , which had given great service , and would have been happy to get another one , but was tempted by the ipod 's sleek design , storage capacity , connection options- - firewire and usb , and its integration with itunes .


the controls and the menus are clearly displayed and easily fathomed


the ipod is a very nice product , which given reasonable care , should give a lot of service .


i have about 6 gb used on my ipod so far ( well over 1000 songs ) , and as far as i can tell , all of them play at near-cd quality .


other than the fact that one can 't delete a file directly from the ipod , the interface is excellent and mind-numbingly simple to use .


as for itunes , i don 't find it to be as good as the windows media player as a computer mp3 player , but it is good enough .


in conclusion , i gave the ipod a 4/5 because anything this expensive should would work just about flawlessly .


everything i wanted ! . the apple ipod has become one of the most sought-after electronic gadgets - and for good reason .


its sleek design , large memory capacity , compatibility with itunes , and ease of use makes this one of the best portable digital listening devices on the market .


unless you have an enormous music/audio book library , the 20 gb model should have more than adequate storage capacity , with a stated ability to hold 5000 songs .


features : click wheel to navigate ; . ability to work with windows or mac ; . optional back lighting ( you can have it on all the time , or have it shut off to save battery power after 5 , 10 , or 20 seconds ) ; . ability to download pda info ; . automatic or manual download from itunes when ipod is plugged into your computer .


there 's even an equalizer ( under " settings " ) that allows you to adjust the sound for acoustic , bass booster , bass reducer , classical , dance , " deep " , and electronic .


with accessories , you can make the ipod into a digital recorder , broadcast it remotely through stereo speakers using wireless technology , and play it through your car speakers using either a cd adaptor or fm stereo broadcaster .


itunes can be downloaded from the enclosed cd or for free from the apple site .


all in all , this is a wonderful device .


apple has definately fulfilled its reputation in making quality equipment , and surprisingly wasn 't as expensive as its reputation normally holds .


battery non-issue .


finally , compare the ipod to other players on a cost/gb , and also consider ease of use .


the ipod is not overpriced compared to the market .


this is the best purchase i 've made in a very long time .


the sound is incredible ; . very clean , very wide dynamic range of bass , midas and highs , and can be very loud if i turn it up full blast .


the great and versatile ipod


the sound quality is excellent , accessing the music is easy , and the controls are generally well thought out .


i still give the ipod five stars , though , as it could have been something i did incorrectly during the install ( though i did follow the onscreen prompts ) so i 'll give apple the benefit of the doubt .


the battery holds a charge for a very long time ( maybe 15 or so hours of use ) so realistically there are no real range or endurance issues associated with ipod use .


( it sure does look nice , though ! . ) i recommend this to any music lover anywhere : the quality of the audio is excellent , the controls and indicators rapidly become intuitive , and the storage capacity and battery life are huge ! .


using the software itunes is relatively simple , you just plug the usb cable in , wait your machine to detect the ipod and voila , any songs listed in your itunes library will be transfer ed on over to the ipod .


and , with the ipods ' full volume up , all you have to do is adjust your receivers ' volume and your set , since the ipod itself acts as a strong amp lifer of its ' own .


however after purchasing a 20 gb ipod it 's clear to see the superiority .


for a sleeker , smaller and more " average " mp3 player the nitrus is great but the ipod blows it out of the water - the interface is great and the design is wonderful .


the actual experience of using the ipod is magnificent .


the design , as mentioned above , is sleek , cool and trendy ( and i think trendy = good , but it 's always hard to tell these days ) .


the battery life last es 12 hours , and charges quickly . ( as mentioned above , the initial charge is a minimum of only two hours - not too long at all ! . ) once you 've downloaded your music , you can access the tracks by artist , genre , album , composer ( this comes in handy when the actual composer is different from the artist - e . g . covers of songs ) , etc .


the ! . sound quality is great .


the included earphones are pretty good - my advice ? .


the ease of use of the ipod is a major attribute .


with the ipod , you can also store documents and contact files ( from programs such as microsoft outlook ) when it 's connected to your pc as an external hard drive .


also included in the " games " section is the great music trivia option - which tests your skill at being able to quickly place your own songs .


20 gb or 40 gb ? . the pros of the 40 gb : comes with a " dock station " and double storage space ( 10 , 000 songs ) .


overall the ipod really is an almost flawless beast . the capacity in the 20 gb is more than i think most people would ever need and , for the price , i highly recommend it .


everything else about the ipod is great , the click wheel is very easy to use and so is the software that comes with it .


finding all the albums , songs etc is much easier than you would think it would be even if you have 20 gig ( well 18 gig ) worth of music .


it all sounds great too .


you can even use the ipod to store files from your pc and export your outlook files to it .


so reliability is the winner here for the ipod .


for looks , well ipod is head and shoulders better , both the iriver and creative zen look positively ugly when next to a gleaming ipod .


the ipod package comes with everything you need , the ac adaptor , firewire cable ( quicker than usb , but slower than usb 2 which it also gives ) , those snazzy and power full headphones , and of course the player .


these issues aside , the ipod is kind of like the cell phone in that once you have one , you can 't be without one .


also , you have to use it with itunes - or they 'll sue , dammit ! . but itunes is about as good as anything .


the player is great .


overall , this product is awesome .


all the " cool " features of the mini , but with 20gb instead of 5 .


really easy to use .


has the click wheel and the ability to scan through thousands of songs and organizes them great .


has a great helpline .


they fix the problem and help you with whatever your i-pod needs comes with two usb ports and a charger .


they are extremely convent and you don 't have to buy them seperately has i-tunes , which provides quality music at low prices .


the i-pod is the best thing i have ever used .


i found that to be the most impressive thing about the ipod 'mini ' - basically for ease of use , and the feel it gives .


this unit comes with the usb/firewire cable as a standard item now .


i have transferred in about 2 , 400 tracks so far - very easy to use both the ipod and itunes .


i was worried about what the sound quality would be like , but that seems to be just as good as the actual cd sound .


i love the features on the ipod and the many things you can do with it .


the arm band is fantastic and it doesn 't budge even at the gym .


i love the slim design ; . the weight would only be an issue if it were bulky .


the ear buds that come with it look cheap , but the sound quality is amazing .


the click wheel is incredibly convenient , however it can be a little overly touchy at times , which will make you frustrated with your own fingers .


i am a big fan of itunes , simply because it is terribly fast and convenient - if you are buying the songs from the itunes site .


way to go apple ! .


i rarely get drawn in by mass-commercialism , but something about the ipod made me say , in the words of lou and andy , " i want that one ! . " i was willing to shell out


it can not be the computer or the owner , since i purchased mcgee anti-virus 8 and it installs and works fine with no problems .


nis 2003 worked like a charm last year .


anti-spam is good


the latest of internet security has antispam function that is helpful because i has received a mountain of those these days .


but that is good for me because symantec soft wares are a bit hard to master for me who are not savvy on computers .


i 'm not sure why all the bad reviews , my computer isn 't especially slowed down and i have win '98 .


sure , it slows it down a little , but that 's expected .


perhaps semantic could work out the efficiency a little , but these reviews are highly exaggerated . . . i would ask what else these people are running on their computers ( ? . )


this is the fourth version of systemworks and the second version of internet security that i have used and it has always been a favorite .


the antivirus feature is phenomenal , and is regularly updated .


i think their antivirus software was one of , if not the best , on the


once installed , however , some of the functions do work ok ( disk doctor , one button checkup , and win doctor ) .


these tasks are faster and easier than in prior versions , and i found the menu to be much more navigable .


their website had a download that helped remove those , although i had to manually remove a good number of files from the " programs " directory .


norton 's memory usage on systems with 512 mb is very low .


i just got an older 866 mhz system with 512 pc 133 ram and it also runs fine on that .


both the antivirus and firewall are integrated into one piece of software and they update together .


you won 't need to update your firewall and antivirus separately or install two disks .


the best part of the firewall is the visual backtracking .


we were able to obtain a norton corporate edition of antivirus only ( no firewall or utilities ) and so far it 's great .


i 've used the corporate edition at work without any problems ever .


by the way , i use the norton 2003 corporate at work with absolutely no trouble .


likewise , i 've heard norton 2004 professional version is fine too .


i 've been using nis 2004 for about 2 months and it works well .


norton pops up a window about the intrusions and gives me as much detail as possible about where the intrusion is coming from .


the pop up blocker and anti-spam are bonuses .


i didn 't have any major problems installing this software .


anyhow , this software is working fine and no problems since i installed it two weeks ago .


mine installed no problem ( but i did uninstall my norton anti-virus 2002 & personal firewall 2002 first ) .


seems to work great .


this did manage to cut the number of pop ups during start-up from 4 down to 2 .


while it didn 't have all the features i would have liked , it was better than anything else i could find at the time .


also , with one click you can help train your spam killer .


and the firewall came with a wizard which made it effortless to configure it to my lan .


it 's a highly rated , kick ass firewall program that 's bundled with the venerable norton antivirus , plus extras ( like norton antispam & norton parental control ) that make this security suite a must-have for people who have broadband internet access .


luckily , with 3 rebates this product will cost me nothing ! . it is indeed worth nothing .


i 've tried the free versions of zone alarm and the free version of skate and they both have a nice and easy installation and work great ! . .


the only free help you get is in renewing your subscription ! .


the product has worked perfectly for me on my xp .


no more banner ads , pop-ups , and the reliable antivirus .


i work on word , explorer , netscape , acrobat reader , photoshop at same time ( meaning using a lot of memory ) , but still dont see a problem with computer ( getting slow or crashing ) .


this product is way cooler than anything ive used before ( pencilings and maccabees and norton antivirus alone ) .


5 stars all the way ! .


all in all it hasn 't been a bad product .


i 've owned many norton products in my time , and for the most part , i 've been pleased with their performance .


this is also the case with nis 2004 .


i upgraded from nis 2003 , and the change in performance has not been noticeable .


on the contrary , i 'm quite pleased with my upgrade .


it works better and has more useful features than nis 2003 .


the program is fully featured , with much of what you 'd want from a security program --


the installation , set-up , and operating interfaces are well organized and intuitive and the email spam component works well .


pi ii 1ghz 512mb rd ram windows xp pro 80gb hd i was able to uninstall nis 2003 and install nis 2004 with no trouble .


i installed , activated and registered nis 2004 without issue .


so far , the anti-spam feature seems to be very good .


i downloaded a trial version of computer associates ex firewall and antivirus and fell in love with a computer security system all over again .


i did not have any of the installation problems that people highlighted here .


their products have been great and have saved my bacon on numerous occasions .
