Samsung t629 Phone

My review
Basically, there are two types of people in the world: those who want a phone that acts well as a phone, or those who want a PDA/MP3 players/iPhone. I'm in the former camp, and was longing for a phone with good reception, long battery life and a ring tone that didn't sound like a clip from an electronica disco.
I came from using a Razr, a device which I consider proof that God doesn't exist. I wrote Motorola to inform them of its sub-par features that elude to some self-gratifying fantasy from their design department, but only received a $50 voucher for another Razr. Everything that was wrong with the Razr is right with the t629. Even the sliding thing whips the flip thing. Long live the t629. I'm too irritated by Apple and iPhone owners dominating endless news stories about how they can-can't-can-can't unlock it to ever want to buy one. I don't care about any of that. I just want my beautiful pitch-perfect voice to grace the airwaves without being turned into robot noises. I don't need GPS - I already have

My review
Despite HP crapping the bed on their laptops, the all-in-one devices are still good value and work pretty well. There's no doubt it could be better and the software could be more intuitive but for $130, it's a good all-round products that should be meet the needs of most users.

Description
"'Fight Club' pulls you in, challenges your prejudices, rocks your world and leaves you laughing" (Rolling Stone). Brad Pitt ("12 Monkeys", "Seven"), Edward Norton ("Primal Fear," "American History X") and Helena Bonham Carter ("Mighty Aphrodite," "A Room With A View") turn in powerful "performances of which movie legends are made" (Chicago Tribune) in this action-packed hit. A ticking-time-bomb insomniac (Norton) and a slippery soap salesman (Pitt) channel primal male aggression into a shocking new form of therapy. Their concept catches on, with underground "fight clubs" forming in every town, until a sensuous eccentric (Bonham Carter) gets in the way and ignites an out-of control spiral toward oblivion.
My review
One of the best films ever made and the DVD has a ton of extras to keep real fans interested for hours. I'll leave the film reviews to imdb, but the DVD itself is well worth the money and the commentary is quite amusing in places.

Microsoft Office Access 2007 Inside Out Books
My review
It could probably does will less of the 'intro to SQL' chapters that proliferate so many books out there, but does a good job of introducing all the new features to amateurs and seasoned professionals alike. For $30, it's probably one of the cheapest ways to get acquainted with the latest Access, especially given the relatively steep learning curve of this new version.

My review
Inexpensive, easy-to-use and mostly very accurate - pretty much everything you could ask for in an entry-level GPS. The maps are updatable via USB and the screen navigation couldn't be easier. $160 if you shop around.
