1.0 out of 5 stars Zero minus 1, 11 Aug 2012
I have just spent 6 hours undoing the damage done to the finish on my car. The drying spots were appalling and stubborn to remove. Never again. No surprise that this product is now so cheap at many outlets.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good value, 7 Jan 2011
Easy to setup. Has 2 handle length settings to get the correct height. Mine has already carried an amazing weight and volume of goods without problems. The only negative is that the top of the bag is covered by a drop down flap which will allow some rain to get in the bag in bad wet and windy weather.

2.0 out of 5 stars Low cost but value?, 7 Jan 2011
Unquestionably a low cost harmonica but if this is your first one, it may put you off learning to play. It is not an easy instrument to play as the reed action is unresponsive and variable. I would recommend spending around the £10 to £15 pound to get a more usable instrument which will be easier to learn.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good once setup., 7 Jan 2011
Once it has been setup, this phone is very easy to use. The setup needs to be done by somebody familiar with mobile phone setting up, and probably cannot be done by the elderly.
The keyboad lock is a small, stiff slider. It is probably best not to lock the keyboard unless absolutely necessary.
The SOS button function is excellent and false activation is prevented by the phone requiring a 3 second press on the button to activate the alarm (send text and phone call to a designated number). No significant strength is required to operate this key, and the memory keys.
The big red flashing light on top allows the phone to be located in the dark and in a big handbag when it rings.
The single push memory keys mean that the number keys will probably not need to be used.

Contact the seller in advance to ensure that the UK manual is included.
Overall it does solve the problem that it's aimed at solving. I would buy another one.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Buy, 1 Aug 2010
Arrived well-packed; no parts missing; no damage.
Instructions probably below average, not helped by poor print quality.
No screwdriver supplied in package as per description.
Build time 30 mins to 3 hours depending on psychic ability and manual skills.
Big enough for two chickens; 3 or more would not be fair on the chickens.
Good strong design; well ventilated; easy to clean.
All in all, good value for money.. a good buy and recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars If it only worked..., 10 Oct 2009
Firstly, the connector will not rotate 90 degrees as shown in the picture. It is fixed as an inline only connector.
Secondly, the device will not register online as it says the T-Mobile site is temporarily out of order. It has been out of order for 72 hours. This sugests that T-Mobile are not the best service provider available. I have gone back onto Vodafone which works perfectly.
This unit is not a good buy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good enough..., 13 July 2009
Most of these dongles seem to be the same hardware in a diffferent coloured plastic shell. So the main differences are in the service providers coverage and the enclosed software.
Personally I did not like the O2 software and preferred the Vodafone which is more informative.
I have not yet seen the dongle manage to pickup on 3G.

1.0 out of 5 stars It doesn't fit!, 9 Jun 2009
Basically it is unuseable as the plastic moulding around the mini USB connector is too big to allow it to plug in to the connector on the Surfer.
As a result, the product has no value.

1.0 out of 5 stars Oh dear...., 27 May 2009
Oh dear.. how I wanted to like this device. However I can find no redeeming features. It looks and feels cheap and nasty; the GPS system has worked once for about 30 seconds as the signal pickup is poor; likewise the Vodafone pickup is also very under par. It takes ages to login. The loading of pages is slower than on my cheap mobile phone. The numeric keys are near impossible to use.
I have spent a total of 6 hours trying to purchase the unlimited time package using the device and have failed... luckily as it turns out!
The scrolling is infuriating as it requires multiple mouse strokes to shift the cursor a small distance. The display quality is well below any that I've seen in the last 5 years.
I wish I'd never bought it.. it was a mistake. Don't make the same mistake. Anyone who likes the device is probably not familiar with the current levels of technology available.
The price is very high for such a poor performance device and represents poor value for money. The free connect time is easy to offer, as most people will hardly ever use it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointingly Uninteresting, 7 Mar 2009
= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
I expected to like this game after the excellent reviews, but the reality is that the game is extremely repetitive , simplistic, cartoony,unfulfilling, and uninteresting. There is a lot of marketing hype around the product, and all the associated spin-off products which means that WOW is REALLY BIG business.
Look through all the hype and see it for what it is, an expensive virtual club.
It is however technically impressive, and I can admire it for that, but technical excellence does not make a game. Other reviewers on here have referred to similar games with higher playability and lower running costs which offer a much better gaming experience.
