Advantages: Slimline and packed with functions Disadvantages: A bit pricey
I actually dropped my old Sony Ericsson walkman phone in the bath ( no I really did! ) and spent quite a while deciding what I was going to get as a replacement. I love my mobile phones, I love music and I am also an internet addict , so given all of that I don't think I could have made a better choice than the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.
This phone is a complete multi media package all encased in a very slimline and tasty looking exterior. A perfectly adequate 3.2 mega pixel camera that takes great pictures and videos , a simplistic touch screen phone that comes complete with stylus amongst all manner of other gadgets and gizmos. Mine came with an extra cover , usb port charger and some nice headphones and a pic which can be used gaming.
The internet is easy to access and it has options to go straight to facebook which had me sold form ...
Advantages: Reliable, Large square loadspace Disadvantages: Expensive genuine parts
My girlfriend works in a florist’s and I regularly get roped in to help out with the deliveries whenever I’m available. The van they have for the task is a red, T registration Vauxhall Combo van. So because of my experience I have decided to write an opinion on it, and also I haven’t written one on a car for a while.
The cab is based on the ever-popular Corsa that unfortunately is immediately apparent as soon as you see them. As with many small vans on the market at the moment the van looks like it has had a square metal box bolted onto the back of it, much like the Fiesta based Courier.
The Combo is powered by the 1.9 Vauxhall diesel engine, although some of the earlier models may have the Isuzu power plant under the bonnet. The performance is more than adequate pulling well through all the gears ...

Advantages: Very versatile, easy to use, space saving Disadvantages: not the best playback quality I've seen
old video tape, and it was also very easy to label each newly recorded session on the DVD.
The newly recorded DVD can be played back straight away to check that all is OK and any mistakes are easily deleted - I was using standard DVD -R disks so the deleted recordings still take up space on the DVD even though they will not be played back, to properly delete recordings and utilise the space freed up I would have to use DVD-RW disks.
To make my new DVD playable on other players (including my PC) the DVD had to be finalised, this is a simple menu option which does not take very long but completes the dubbing process.
I have to say that I am very pleased with my new combo VCR/DVD - it does everything I wanted it to do and I thought that the price I paid for it was reasonable. It takes up less space than the two machines it replaced ...
