Great portable entertainment.......2007-09-20

We have had our 2 Archos 500's for exactly 1 year and they have been heavily used and loved in our house. Perfect for traveling, going out to restaurants - we actually get to eat our dinner because of these pocket miracles!

I have been so impressed with how durable the units are. Our kids are age 6, 4 and 2 and as you can guess these poor units have been handeled with sticky hands and dropped countless times, and the units kept on ticking. Wouldn't you know it that it would be me (the adult) who would drop and break one of the pocket dishes. Since the unit was just shy of a year old it was still under warrenty. I called the customer service number on the Archos website and get this - A LIVE PERSON ANSWERED THE PHONE AFTER 3 RINGS! No press 1,2 or 3, just a real nice person who quickly helped me and emailed me my RA number. My unit is being repaired now, but we are still enjoying our other pocket dish when we go out to eat, in the car or plane.

If you have Dish Network it is so easy to hook up to your DVR and download onto the unit. We do not use the external speaker, but it works great with a headphone splitter so multiple people can watch and hear.

Got kids....Got a Dish Network DVR? This is the perfect traveling accessory! Amazingly super sturdy and extremely friendly customer service. Bravo Archos!

Super fine .......2007-07-13

I got one for my daughter about 10 months ago for photo storage while traveling. It worked just great until 2 days before she had to fly to Italy. Photo download is almost automatic if using a flash card reader and a mini-USB plug. I ended up getting an Archos 604 wifi for her trip ( a really neat unit but everything is extra- no built-in mini-USBs, no A/V jacks, no AC charger, but a trippy touchscreen and 30GB is a LOT of room= about 1000 photos + 400 songs + 12 movies, and still less than 1/3 full), while sending the AV500 in for warranty repair. The AV500 had a squashed 100GB drive from a swollen THICK battery- stay away from these batteries. ONLY Archos can replace the hard drives- has to do with HDD/firmware serial numbers. I just got it back after 2 weeks and the drive was replaced with a 120GB drive, but the right button worked intermittently (I opened it up and cleaned the contacts on the circuit (film) board = now OK. DO NOT do this if you have any warranty left- send it in. There are plenty of horror stories about warranty work quality, but they did right by me- this time! Video quality is perfect for me- great contrast, good resolution for my dvdfa3 480x272 vob-avi converted files. Audio playback/volume is outstanding (for me). The one tiny speaker is a joke.I haven't tried any video camera recording, so can't say yea or nay. I like it! It's a little bit thicker than the new Archos stuff, but you get everything in one small box!

why not having a fm tuner on this product.......2006-11-10

I PURCHASED THIS PVR ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO , SO FAR I HAVE BEEN VERY SATISFIED WITH IT, MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS WHY NOT THIS PVR NOT HAVING A FM TUNER ON IT, \\\? IT IS WELL MADE, AND I AM HAPPY WITH IT, THE BATTERY LIFE IS GOOD TOO, I LISTED TO MY SONGS FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS AND STILL HAD ABOUT HALF JUICE LEFT IN IT. GOOD LUCK, BUY IT , AND ENJOY IT.WELL, I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED BATTERY FOR IT SO IT IS ABOUT TWICE HAS LIFE IN IT.

almost perfect.......2006-11-10

Just like one of the previous user/buyer mentioned, it looked complicated but was really an excellent device once you get to figure out how it really works...my only problem now is how to record tv shows directly to this device and I would have given it a 5 stars then...I have to add that customer service did a good job when I needed assistance too...

Save your Money.......2006-10-01

If you are looking for a DVR that you can use with your Home AV system and take on the road, save your money and do not buy this device. The menuing system is HORRIBLE. Why they invented button icons instead of using standard conventions is beyond me. There should be one SELECT button, but there are several, depending upon which menu you are in. Just changing the sound from headphones to internal speaker is difficult. The internal speaker is OFF when it looks like it is on, and ON when it looks like it is off. You must also keep movie file size around 1gb or the playback will only show up to that point! Hooking it up to a home system works, but can be tricky depending upon the number of inputs you have on your home theater system. It is a cool device, but the drawbacks make it not worth the price. I'm a total techie, and this device stays in a drawer because it is just too difficult to work the device.

Customer Reviews:

Some Agfa`products are toy........2002-11-03

The price of this camera is good, but...

This is not 2mb camera, I think this is 1mb camera.
This camera do not make 640x480 images, I think it`s make 320x240 interpolated image.
The image is bad and dark. Forget, dont lose time.

Obs.: sorry for my inglesh, i am from Brasil.

Buyer Beware.......2001-07-04

This camera eats batteries...We finally purchased an AC adaptor at Radio Shack to use when we are downloading photos but it still goes through the batteries very quickly.

This camera works best for outdoor pictures. Indoor pictures are either too dark or washed out if the flash is used.

Also, although this camera is still being sold by many retailers, according to AGFA they are no longer producing or selling this camera and the software for it is unavailable.

GREAT CAMERA.......2001-04-16

this is a VERY good camera for the value. I just bought this one, and it is better than most other cheap sub-one hundred dollar cameras......

Just awful; avoid at all costs.......2001-04-10

I bought two of these for my kids and they are awful. The picture quality is so low that only about 10% of the photos are worth keeping. And being for my young children, my standards are very low. I bought them almost as a toy, and STILL I'm severely disappointed. DO NOT BUY.

just for babys.......2001-02-13

thanx god i get it as a prize the quality is very poor and i have a hard work trying to pass the pics to my pc and the batteries only works for 1 day or less dont buy it very poor quality

ASIN: B00006BBG8

Product Description

The Zoom/Modem V.92 PCI Model 3025 is a high-performance fax modem that plugs into a PCI slot of a Windows-based computer. The Model 3025's performance is enhanced by an on-board DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and ITU V.92 / V.44 standard compatibility. The Zoom/Modem V.92 PCI outperforms V.90 modems. ITU V.92 is a new standard for dialup modems. It, and its companion compression standard V.44, makes communications faster, easier and more enjoyable. The "automatic negotiation" or "handshake" at the beginning of a call can be over twice as fast with Zoom/Modem V.92 models than with V.90 modems. The new V.44 compression technology results in significantly faster Web browsing and download speeds. Upload speeds (before compression) with Zoom/Modem V.92 models can be up to 40% faster, too. As an added convenience, the Zoom/Modem V.92 PCI allows an incoming phone call to be received without losing an Internet connection. These dramatic improvements in performance are available to Zoom/Modem V.92 users whose ISP (Internet Service Provider) has upgraded to the new standard. The Zoom/Modem V.92 PCI Model 3025 is capable of receiving data from an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or online service over standard phone lines at speeds up to 56 Kbps uncompressed. Outgoing data is transmitted at speeds up to 48 Kbps. The Zoom/Modem Model 3025 includes V.80 capability for compatibility with H.324 standard point-to-point video telephony over regular phone lines. It also supports Group 3, Class 1 Fax. The Model 3025 also features ZoomGuard. ZoomGuard provides superior protection against lightning, the number one cause of modem failure. ZoomGuard is not only better than the "varistor" protection found on other modems, but also outperforms most stand-alone surge protectors.
