A bit on the large size..., 23 May 2013
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
HANDSET - Good reception when away from base. - Although it's a bit on the large size (approx 200mm × 40mm × 16mm), good balance and comfortable enough to use for a lengthy phone call. - Touch controls are overly sensitive, it's very easy to accidentally activate. My ear/face will nearly always mute the phone during a call. - It seems to keep the charge for longer than previous handsets in my household. BASE-STATION - Speaker phone has good volume whilst remaining clear. - Being able to pair bluetooth phones is easy and a great feature. - intuitive enough for me not to have had a look at the user manual, not even sure where it is. - You will need some space as the base-station is wide(250mm × 90mm × 55mm). - As others mentioned; while it can store 6000 contacts (4 different phonebooks-1500 contacts each) the phone book is not as responsive as you would like, it's way too slow. Overall I like this phone, and I have gone through quite a few DECT phones. Reception and battery life is the best I've experienced so far, however it misses 5 stars because of its size (both handset and base station) and the overly sensitive touch controls.

It has all the features you will expect and more..., 16 May 2013
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
The installation process was about 4 minutes long and is very simple to use. When you first install it there is a tutorial available so someone who is new to using computers would not have any issues with the installation. The anti-virus has a very simple look with 5 tiles: Computer, Web Browsing, Identity, E-mails, and Firewall, they are coloured green to show you are protected. If you go on the tiles three options are available, Enable/Disable, Settings and Statistics. You can go to settings and customise to your personal preference. The statistics show the details of all your previous scans. When it comes to scanning your pc for viruses and threats, you can set up scheduled scans, specific days or hours and also frequency of each scan, or you can disable scheduled scans whichever you prefer. There are two scan modes: whole computer scan and scan for specific files and folders. The whole computer scan takes about 7-15 minutes, there the option to adjust scan setting and scan priority . The anti-virus will detect and remove malicious files from your system. After the scan you can view a scan summary and save it as well. I enjoy using AVG Anti-virus 2013 because is easy to use, installation was quick and simple, one can easily view the status of their computer. It has all the features you will expect and more - free mobile protection for Android devices is also included. Exceptional value for money, I would easily recommend it for anyone.

Captivating book for anyone interested in urban transport & design., 15 May 2013
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
A wonderful work taking you through the history of the London underground through a design perspective. You're easily able to enjoy this book by leafing through the pages and absorbing the images or you can take the time to read about the people behind the designs. Notable characters like Charles Holden and numerous unheralded artists, illustrators, and architects that make the London Underground what it is today. For those like me who for many years use the lines, I was fascinated by the variety in the design of the underground network. I truly thought most of the underground looked like Jubilee / Central / Victoria lines. Now I am of the mind to visit more of the network. Chock full of rare photographs, posters and sketches this book is captivating and I'd recommended for anyone interested in urban transport & design.

Not really good quality for crochet or knitting..., 12 May 2013
Those markers are not really good quality for crochet or knitting. The pins are not opening wide enough to slip them easily on yarn. Also the colours are very dull, not as pictured... brownish red, lighter red, dark orange and dark green, quite ugly to be honest. They would be probably more suitable for some kind of crafts, new baby cards etc. if the colours were prettier.

They do the job but they seem to be no brand, no Maped logo found., 12 May 2013
I got two of those sharpeners and they do the job on both small and large (thick) pencils and crayons although I haven't find anything indicating they are actually Maped Vivo as stated in the description, couldn't locate Maped logo on any of them.

Expected much better quality from Hama., 12 May 2013
The album is ok but I expected much better quality from Hama. Pages are very flimsy, the cover is made out of paper, it won't last especially that I got it for my daughters.

Seems like a good idea but its implementation is poor., 10 May 2013
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
I was very excited to get my hands on this product, finally I thought I can stream multimedia from my pc to the TV. However my excitement was short-lived. The nScreen Deluxe has two modes: mirroring & streaming. In mirroring mode you computer's screen is mirrored on your TV. However the resolution is limited to 1280×720, which is fine for some applications like web browsing or a slideshow presentation. It is certainly NOT ideal for watching video. What I was more interested in was streaming videos from my PC to the TV. In this mode the NScreen Deluxe is much more useful, but not without its failings. The 1st thing I noticed was that the same files are noticeably sharper than when played through my Playstation. I was quite surprised and had to have a second look to make sure. I don't know if it has something to do with the way the video is encoded/decoded but there really is a difference. Where the nScreen fails me is with Audio support. AC3 or DTS is not supported so if your video's soundtrack is AC3 or DTS then you're out of luck. The nScreen software on PC and Android is slow and a bit buggy(especially on android). Overall the nScreen Deluxe seems like a good idea but its implementation is poor. Hopefully future firmware updates may change things, but I'm not holding out hope.

Beautiful enough to be worn alone as a pedant..., 8 May 2013
Very pretty, exactly as pictured with genuine silver core and bump system to fit Pandora style bracelets. Beautiful enough to be worn alone as a pedant.
