TomTom GO - Carry Case & Strap

Maybe they've re-designed it... my GO730 fits perfectly!, 2008-08-09
Having read the majority of the comments I really didn't bother with this case. However having shelled out the best part of £300 for the device I wanted some protection for it when it it wasn't in use. I looked at the alternatives, and to be honest none of them really appealed for one reason or another and I kept on returning to this case. With a heavy heart and a feeling of foreboding I felt that I had no choice and ordered it.

I am so pleased that I did. The case certainly fits the GO730 like a glove, but it is not as tight fitting as to interfere with the zip fastening. The zip seems robust and functions perfectly around the case...even the corners. I guess that there has been some kind of redesign? None of the criticisms on this page are valid with regard to the case that I bought.

SanDisk Cruzer Titanium U3 8Gb, ReadyBoost

Superb piece of kit, 2008-09-15
Sandisk have knack for making fantastic USB keys and this is truly no exception. The classy titanium finish, which is almost impervious to smash by human means, house's a massive 8GBs of storage. The U3 software already installed is useful but can be easily removed. What a wonderful price aswell. A joy to use.

I am very pleased !!!!, 2008-08-14
I think the review of this card by Mr Plonis is unfair and hope he will amend it.
I bought the 8GB card for my SE k800i phone. I was a little worried after reading his review but it was such a good price and the other comment here made me think it would be OK.
In fact when I installed the card the phone only registered it as having approx 3.5GB and I panicked a little.
I then viewed the card through the USB connection between the phone and my computer and could then see it as an 8GB card. So no problem with the card then!
A bit of research on the web confirmed my suspicion that it was the phone to blame rather than the memory card.
I think I can upgrade the firmware for the phone and so will give that a try.
It is wrong to blame the memory supplier for the way in which the phone is configured.
The SE web site does say that 4GB is the maximum card size supported for the k800i phone at the time it was first released.
I have read elsewhere that people have the phone working with the 8GB card after upgrading to firmware version R1JG001.
The memory card arrived swiftly and was well packaged. It also had an adaptor for to allow it to fit in some previous Sony proprietary card slot. I do wish Sony would use standard SD cards.

Great little tripod, Im using with an Sigma 18-200mm IS lens (which agreed is not the biggest) but Ive never had any qualms that it could not support the weight.
Wraps round pretty much anything and as its so small and light its not a problem to slip in a bag etc so your more likely to have it with you when you really need it. Would thoroughly recommend.

A real Gem of a camera, 2008-08-05
Last year I bought a Canon ixus 70 for my wife.She has hardly used it as I fell in love with it and disbanded my Pentax Optio. As this was rather unfair on her,I decided I had better buy one for myself.The ixus 90IS fills the bill perfectly. It is beautifully made,has a nice substantial weight,and sports a beautiful three inch screen.Both still and movie results are great,battery life is excellent,and it even has a trimming tool so that you can crop in camera.I believe it is the first of the range to have this feature.If you don't mind the lack of aperture and shutter priority modes, which I don't think are really neessary on digital compacts,then I can thououghly recommend this camera.I added a Sandisk SHDC 4gb memory card and a Canon DCC Case - both bargains from Amazon. So, my wife now has her camera back, and I am a very happy man!

Pure VL-60923 ChargePAK C6L

Excellent product, 2008-01-03
This is the updated version of the Pure battery pack, first available at the start of December 2007. I am using it with a Pure One radio.
It is a package the same size as 6 C type batteries, with a short cable and connector at one end. You plug the connector into a mating connector inside the battery space at the back of the radio, then fit the battery pack into the battery space. This is easy to do. Once fitted, the radio operates with or without mains power being connected. Whenever power is connected, the battery pack charges up and the radio operates from mains power.
The instructions recommend a 24 hour charge initially, which I did though the indicator suggested it was fully charged long before that.
In use I found it lasted for about 20 hours before the radio died. The indicator sits at 4 bars for most of this time then drops off quickly. From the drained state it took about 10 hours to charge again. However, I find it easier to keep the charger at my bedside and plug the radio in each night, so it does not normally fully discharge. This way, it is fully charged by morning and can be used anywhere in the house during the day for as long as needed, without running out of power.

Little Wonder!, 2008-08-15
This has so many features to chooses from and very easy to use.As an ameature, this little camera can only help improve my pictures. I wish I had bought it sooner.I am a convert from my Canon EOS 500, a 35ml film format- digital is so much easier to use. I would be lost with out the Canon Ixus970 compact camera. No more blured or out of focus photos!

Camera buyer beware, 2008-08-22
Nope I can't tell if this camera will meet your needs..But warn you when buying your camera no mater what make. Be sure that the camera is distributed from the UK otherwise you won't get any rebate and if you do get a fault you will have to ship it to the country of origin.. If in any doubt get email proof from the seller before you part with your hard earnt cash..

I have been researching a new camera and have been surprised by the number of non UK cameras being sold on Amazon and by other companies on the web.

fast & reliable, 2008-07-26
As the above review states ensure you do have a SDHC compatible camera.
We used this when travelling around Europe for a month, took approx 1300 photos & some small videos and still had over 1-2gb's left. Used the card reader to upload photos at various internet cafes and all worked accordingly, very pleased with the product & would recommend it if a large capacity memory card was req'd.

Extremely good value!!!!, 2008-04-02
I just could not believe how much this memory stick was, I had costed them up from high street stores and found that Amazon was at least 3 times cheaper !!
