Sonnet Sequence, runs a gamut from nature, man, god, night, stars, my own particular favorite in this grouping was the first with its view of the sea, sand pipers, whale songs and sand.

Advantages: Lush sound
Disadvantages: CE5 better for same price

...This pedal produces a sweet chorus effect which has served me well for a couple of years now. The chorus can be altered from a slight effect, to a shimering chorus with great depth. The pedal includes effect level, depth, eq, and rate controls. Having the depth and effect level high produces a lush chorus sound. reducing these produces a more subtle sound, and increasing the rate produces an increasingly "wobbly" sound. The sounds are of excellent quality, However, the eq is a single knob as opposed to the CE5 Chorus Ensemble which contains separate treble and bass controls. As such I would not recommend buying the CH1 and instead get the CE5 as it produces the same range and quality of sounds for the same price, but it allows slightly extra tone control. The construction is excellent as with all boss pedals and I have no doubts... Read review

Advantages: great speed reliablity and just plain fun
Disadvantages: size, some times crashes

...Tom-tom's are first and foremost the best gps line I have ever seen in my store iv been lucky enough to test drive most the main branded gps's in the last year. Tom-tom 300, 500, 700 are right up there with the pro's for good prices. This review is obviously on the Tom-tom 700 though you may want to read my other reviews on the other two when I get them up to compare. In my opinion the 700 is the only in car entertainment that you need (except for a stereo). It has inbuilt Bluetooth to connect to a Bluetooth enabled phone. You can make and receive calls, right, send and read text messages and even accesses a built in phone book for phone numbers for restaurants, hotels, clubs, hospitals ext. A very large amount of the built in points of interest have a number to call for information or bookings. And the best thing of all is it can... Read review

Advantages: Great camera quality
Disadvantages: read below

...After receiving my brand new E700, the first thing I saw was the clamshell design. I wouldnt normally go for this because I've heard they break easily. I haven't been disappointed yet. THE LOOK Very stylish. It has a tiny battery, an external colour LCD so you can see who's calling, volume control buttons on one side, with a camera button on the other side. I will go into more detail about this later. It is also small and lightweight. The buttons are nicely arranged, unlike most Nokias, which sometimes look a bit untidy and are difficult to press. The TFT screen is quite large and eye-pleasing. FEATURES The Samsung E700 features are: High (and I mean high) quality digital VGA camera 40-chord polyphonic ringtones GPRS Java games Sound recorder MMS/EMS CAPABILITIES Unlike most phones that can only take one format...

Advantages: Excellent value, excellent colour screen, good battery life, attractive design.
Disadvantages: VGA resolution camera, no expandable memory, poorly built joystick

...I bought the Sony Errisson K700i for £89.99 ($154) in the UK. In the store, the K700i had the most features for its price. In terms of design, the K700i has a nice candybar design. From the reverse, the phone looks a camera, and from the front a phone. The K700i is averagely thin, with buttons on the sides (a volume rocker, camera button, and online key etc.). At the base is a charger and headset jack (the K700i comes supplied with a wired headset which can be used to listen to music, radio and used as a headset during calls). At the top is a dedicated power button. The K700i performs all the usual calling, texting, and Internet services well, although some will miss no dedicated talk and end keys. The joystick is nice, but over time it will begin to be less responsive. The keypad is slightly cramped, but it is quite tactile... Read review

Advantages: Excellent features
Disadvantages: Needs a WIFI

...The Samsung F700 is a great touch screen phone. It comes with a 2.78 inch TFT 262K colour screen. It has a 3 megapixel with autofocus and flash. It has different photo effects. It also has a second camera for video calling. The video recorder records in MP4 format with different quality levels. It also has a video streaming feature. When looking at the messaging features of the Samsung F700 it allows you to send SMS, EMS, MMS and E-mails. These are all great features and not all mobile phones offer these features especially the E-mail feature which is great. The Samsung F700 has a music player which plays a variety of formats including MP3 which is the most popular format. You can also make your own play list for your favourite songs. It has polyphonic ringtone as well as MP3 ringtones and you can also have vibration alerts... Read review

Advantages: Good features, large screen, swivel design
Disadvantages: Large in size, heavy

...Looking at the S700i you would see a rather large swivel phone, or at least that is what I saw. The S700i's dimensions are 107.5 x 49 x 24.5 mm (taken from the sony ericsson website). Which is rather large compared to similar phones. However, the design concept that Sonyericsson had in mind whilst developing this phone was to combine the features of a digital camera and mobile phone. The large size does give the phone the feel of a digital camera when it is held on its side. CAMERA: The camera on the S700i is 1.3MP and offers high quality images and video recording. The camera also comes with a large number of features and settings such as night mode, 8x digital zoom, frames and an inbuilt light. As stated earlier the resemblance to a digital camera is seen by the protective shutter on the back face of the S700i. There is a slight... Read review

Advantages: Powerfull, excellent for singles
Disadvantages: Cost, head heavy, not so great for doubles play.

...SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM FOR THE SIMPLE ROUND UP FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF BADMINTON - JUST ADDED IT ! Yonex - Manufacturer Armortec 700 - Model Armortec Series (AT) - Range This is a badminton racket before we start looking at anything, and being honest its for mainly advanced singles players, and used almost exclusively by a lot of international players.. If you are new to badminton ill try to explain the technical jargon as best I can, but the first things you will need to know is that Yonex are the Microsoft of the badminton world. The current range of Armortec rackets contains the AT800Offensive, AT800Defensive, AT700 (discontinued but still available) AT500, AT300 and AT150 being the lowest, cheapest and thus most budget of the range. The AT700 on the other hand being one of the top of the range... Read review

Advantages: Elegant, classic and minimalistic design: A beauty
Disadvantages: No CD-Text, plastic CD door

...I bought my RXD-700 CD-Receiver a couple of years ago and still marvel at its pure design: A dominating volume knob, just the required buttons to switch between tuner, cd and an aux input, and a prominent VFD display. All other buttons - of which there are plenty - are accessible behind a latch and hidden most of the time. I bought the RXD-700 because of its elegant design, and because the name Sony inspired confidence in its inner values. I have not been disappointed, both the design as well as the electronics and mechanics stood the test of time. Now, this is not high-end receiver, it is not conceived for the power- or feature-hungry user, and for many, the sheer idea of packing a CD player in a receiver is reason alone not to buy this unit. Maybe this is why the unit never sold in huge numbers, and apparently was not a big hit... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant looking and easy to use
Disadvantages: Can't infrared ringtones and pictures to other phones

...Smart, sleek, stylish....... what more can I say! This compact flip mobile may not have all the extras of many other leading brands but what it does have makes up for it. I, like many others, started out with a Nokia, they were easy to use and 'everyone had one'. I then saw someone with a Samsung A800 which I fell in love with, its sleek, tiny silver frame was elegant and appealing. Quite quickly I found it was quite limited in what you could actually do with it and the blue screen got quite boring. Through my work I was given the option of a contract phone and decided to upgrade to the E700. It looked good and the extra features appealed to me. When the E700 is flipped shut it is small and compact, actual measurements are 45 x 90 x 23 (mm) when opened it is doubled in size with an impressive screen and button size... Read review
