Advantages: Functionality, looks, performance Disadvantages: Slightly more expensive
a home/mobile/work number, then 10 is just useless. I was also willing to pay a bit more because we have bought cheap cordless phones at work and ended up replacing them because their range was poor and moving more than a few feet away from the phone lost the connection.
I was quite interested in a Panasonic when the BT Mango caught my eye and I thought 'wow, cool phone'. Unusual, bright colours of cream and orange and a distinctive shape with a slider mechanism which opens to reveal the number pad. I was sold by its looks alone and when I checked the functions, the deal was done. Unfortunately, it was even more expensive at £109.99 but too late, I'd made up my mind. Also unfortunately, I should have slept on it, instead of acting on impulse because when I looked at it again the next day, I wondered what I'd found so attractive about it ...

Advantages: books to your door! good joining offers Disadvantages: not massive range of choice
I joined mango for one reason - to get the free books you get when you join, i picked some great books (and the most expensive ones) and sold them on ebay, i think the joining offer was 5 books for a pound or something, plus p & p which took it up to about four pounds.
With mango you get a catalogue every month with their best picks, what you get varies every month and the range isnt massive, they have a wide range of genres but not alot of books in each, unless what youre mainly after is contemporary fiction, of which they have lots.
You get your monthly catalogue and statement and you pick what you want and can order it by phone, online or via mail, you dont pay until the statement that comes after your books have been recieved. The books are delievered by courier and once you get your statement payment is required within ...

Advantages: Good special offers Disadvantages: Postage and packing expensive on cheaper books
There have recently been one or two reviews slating Mango Book Club, so it seems only fair that I say that my experience of them has been without problems so far.
Not the best of starts, as my introductory book was left in my dustbin - it was a relatively new one and had been emptied that morning, but even so I didn't find that acceptable. However, that was the fault of the delivery company rather than Mango. I didn't actually want that particular book, so I listed it on Amazon Marketplace and sold it within twenty-four hours at a very decent price, considering Mango only charged me 99p for it.
Since then I have ordered a cookery book, a book on memory loss which I hope to read over the Christmas period (having reached the age when short-term memory can cause frequent problems), and Roald Dahl's 'Songs and Verse' - a good variety ...
