Great Idea - Lots Of Problems (consider carefully before buying)
I purchased the 301 in Febuary - It is now October and I am disgusted. From the very first day, heart rate monitor was very erratic (inspite of following all directions)heart rate will spike to beyond where I would be dead or sometimes totally dissapear during runs, for no apparrent reason. This unit is great for keeping general pace and distance of runs, however, it frequently says you are going too fast or too slow even when you are keeping a steady pace and this can be frustrating. The last problem, and gravest, is that as time has gone by it has gotten harder to connect and download the information - maybe moisture in the contacts? - I have talked to other Garmin owners and have heard similar complaints - this is a serious design flaw ! My unit is still under warranty - So I am HOPING that this company will honor its warranty. Anyway, If I was to do it all over again I would get a speed & distance monitor with foot pod technology (maybe from Polar) I have heard these are great. Forwarned is Forearmed and not Fore-Ripped off !
Freedom!
I bought the 301 from Amazon a few weeks ago, and it has worked flawlessly.Heart rate and distance both track quite well.
Exceeded Expectations
I was worried after reading the other reviews but didn't want to buy the more expensive models. As a result, I kept all the packing materials and documents when unpacking it (so that I can return it if it was as bad as the reviews made it out to be).

NOT HAPPY AT ALL
I RECEIVED THIS ITEM THIS WEEK-END AND CANNOT GET THE DARN THING TO COME ONE, EXCEPT EVERY NOW AND THEN I GET LUCKY AND IT MAY POP ON BUT IF IT IS TOUCHED AT ALL IT GOES OFF AGAIN.IT'S LIKE THERE'S A SHORT IN THE CONNECTION.WHEN I CONTACTED THE PROVIDER AND ASKED FOR A REFUND THEY LET ME KNOW THAT THERE WOULD BE A 20% FEE FOR RESTOCKING.I WILL NEVER BUY FROM THIS COMPANY AND WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM TO MY WORST ENEMY!
Not as useful as hoped
I have had this unit now for almost a month and I'm not 100% happy with it at all.1 - Hard to program channels2 - Likely cause of #1 reception with antenna bad do not have this problem with larger set with rabbit ears. 3 - Screen shuts down when one or more of the batteries gets weak, I'm not talking hours here more like under 30 minutes on new or Ni Cad rechargeables 4 - Try dealing with Coby customer service , you have a better chance of winning the lottery. I would not buy this unit if I could do it over again.
Great Picture and Handy Size
The Coby TF-TV505 5" LCD Color Television is an oustanding value. Sharp picture with on-the-go features make this a great value. This should make for great Christmas gifts. Coby has come a long way. They are giving SONY a run for their money.

WOW!
This is a phenomenal camera!I fell in love with the huge 3-inch viewfinder, and the 12x zoom is just great.This camera's pictures can be be cropped and end enlarged.The pictures are incredibly clear.In addition, the camera is compact, considering its features.The price is not too high, either.I highly recommend this camera. The only downsides are the large file sizes (you need to buy large capacity media), and that it uses proprietary Sony Memory Stick memory.
PURPLE FRINGE
Nice camera but WAY too much purple fringe.Camera feels and looks kind of cheap compared to Canon or Panasonic.None of the super-zooms are perfect. The Sony, Canon and Panasonic super-zooms are all nice cameras, pick the one the feels right in your hands & you'll no doubt be happy with it.
Pleased with quality vs. price.
I've had the Sony DSC-H5 for about three months and all-in-all am very satisfied. This is my first digital camera, being an old SLR holdout. As noted in some of the other reviews, there are some minor issues - the location of the zoom button being my biggest complaint. It's too easy to hit that by mistake when composing a shot.

Great player....but a little pricey
I bought this to upgrade from a 64MB player, so this was a BIG change.It is definitely a good buy, but I believe Apple could come down on the price a bit. It is very easy to use, but if you're not used to iPods, the click wheel can be a little tricky at first. It doesn't come with a charger so the only way to charge it is to plug it in to a computer; you can, however, purchase one.Overall, this is a good player, but if you're looking for a bargain-look elsewhere.
Very Useful, but a Bit Pricey...
The Ipod is a well-designed compressed music file player with easy-to-use resident software. Forget about the photo angle - the images are just too small to be useful. The iPod nano is all about music.
AWESOME!!!! BUT A LITTLE PROBLEM
This is the best Ipod ever!! I love it. It easily replaces me sandisk mp3 player. I love listening to this thing. ON tthe bus, at lunch, at recess. Even when i am doing homework. =). But there is just one problem with it. All the accesories that are needed for this thing. Like one of those hard plastic cases. There goes one month of my allowance. And than the docks and the speakers! I am looking for a speaker system for my ipod under $40. But its not going well. But besisdes that this thing is the best!!!! BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT!

Good quality for voip, but a bit bulky
Good headset. Folds into a reasonable size, and adjusts well to fit head. Sound quality in the headphones is good and the microphone has good reception. I use this with a laptop for on-line, voip conference calls. It works very well and no one on the calls has mentioned any issues with the quality of the sound.
Not for Laptop Users
I got Avaya RoadWarrior up and running on my computer to use when I work remotely. My co-worker told me to get a GN Netcom headset but I figured I'd save some money and get this one. Big mistake.
Inadequate for Voice Recognition
It failed Dragon Naturally Speaking's sound tests, tests easily passed by the cheapo mike included with the program.And just try to return it.Antonline stonewalls, Plantronics doesn't respond at all.

GREAT
This is a very durable mp3 player. I took it to India with me this summer and it worked perfectly throughout all my travels! The radio function is also great. The sound is good and the player is really small, so it's easy to carry in a pocket or clip to a belt loop. I also use this with the armband when I work out. The voice recording is not amazing. You have to be fairly close to the recorder for it to be clear, but hey I'm satisfied! The price is nice too:)
MuVo TX FM -- great for outdoor sports
Bought my first MuVo (256 Mb) based on recommendations posted from troops in Iraq that they couldn't be broken and the battery life was very good, and I haven't been disappointed yet.I use mine for running, skiing, hiking and general travel and it has survived snow, rain, heat, grit, sweat and more than a few tumbles.I don't know if it would survive serious immersion in water -- and don't intend to try it. Battery life is stunning (1 battery lasted a week of skiing in cold weather), and using dry cells means no charger to carry, plus it doesn't require any additional cords to transfer music.Sound and FM reception is very good.
Great product for running/exercising
I enjoy this lightweight, practical device.It is easy to use.It is also nice to have the option to switch to a radio station.Recommend it for runners.As far as the headset-not as form fitting as I would like but it isn't bad.

Black Ink Anyone?
There are so many times where the actual ink, can be the difference between a good copy, and a not-so-good copy on paper. With HP black ink cartridge #21, it is very convient, and easy to setup into your HP deskjet 3930 series printer. This cartridge is very inexpensive, and affordable for HP printers. I think of it as a must for your HP printers. While there are cartridges that are difficult to open, and install into your printers, this one installs in a snap. I really recommend this for my new HP printer, and so will you if you own a HP printer for this ink as well.

Rebate Deception
The Dragon Naturally Speaking is a good product which works as advertised. One of the reasons I purchased the program from Amazon was that they were offering a rebate of $44. I downloaded the rebate form and did exactly as instructed. When Naturally Speaking Standard Edition arrived I noticed the UPC Code on the box looked different from the picture on the rebate form. However since I had ordered the program from Amazon and downloaded the accompanying rebate form, I thought, this company is honorable and will stand by their word. I was wrong. I got a notice saying that they were refusing my rebate application. I half-way expected this sort of ruse, but I was very disappointed by this deceptive process. I'm a faithful Amazon customer, but I'll never believe a rebate offer again.
