Power cord problem.......2006-11-06

I have the same issue with power cord, it just does not work any more ...

THE BEST LAPTOP I EVER OWNED.......2006-06-18

I HAVE HAD MANY LAPTOPS OVER THE YEARS, THIS ONE IS PERFECT, I PICKED THIS ONE OUT BECAUSE OF THE SPEED,WIDESCREEN, AND GRAPHICS... I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER CORD!OR ANY THING ELSE. THE GRAPHICS IS GREAT FOR GAMING OR GRAPHIC WORK. ITS A LITTLE HEAVY BUT I PREFER IT THAT WAY, SEEMS THE LIGHTER THE LAPTOP THE MORE THEY TEND TO BREAK, ATLEAST I KNOW THIS CAN STAND TO BE BUMBED INTO.

power connection.......2006-01-05

We bought two HP Pavilion notebooks (different models). In little more than a year both developed problems with the power connectors. Cost to repair $300+ and the repair only re-installs the same poorly designed connector...they will probably fail again in about a year. A local shop I phoned said they had three other customers calling that day about the same problem with their HP Pavilions. I do not recommend buying an HP Pavalion notebook.

Great Except for a Major Design Flaw.......2005-10-11

My laptop is approximately 6 months old at this point and I have been experiencing problems with the power cord. The cord has become extremely touchy and most of the time will not make a proper connection to charge the unit. At first I figured it was a broken wire in the cord and purchased a replacement cord only to encounter the same problem. After researching this issue on the Internet, I have found that I am one of a very large number of people encountering this problem with the HP Pavilion laptops.

Most people have tried contacting HP support only to be told that it is not covered by warranty and requires you to pay for a full system board replacement. I purchased the extended warranty from where I purchased my unit and am hoping that they will not tell me the same.

I've always been a fan of most HP products but I'm now dreading the idea that I may have just flushed over $1000 down the drain. Aside from this problem, the unit is great. But then, how great is a laptop with no power?

DUDE....GET A HP...WITH AN AMD CHIP!!!!!.......2005-05-23

Got to laugh at Dell (they SUCK!, Service is atrocious/outrageous responses..please don't purchase the "extended warranty" from them...they will not honor it, DELL products are middle of the road, although cheap...and that sums up what you get....cheap). Traded in my Dell for this HP and was totally blown away with it! I've always had Pentium machines....NO MORE! AMD is the superior performer, hands down, faster, lighter, less power consumption, cooler... Oh, and I forgot to mention the most important factor, WAY CHEAPER!

This machine has a great 15.4" LCD, which I watch movies on when I travel (about 18 days/month). Harman/Kardon speakers are excellent! No problems at all from the HP, and since I have been so happy with this one I just upgraded to a new model with a 17" Ultra-Brite SVGA and a DL DVD Burner! If I had to list negatives, my only complaints with this machine is that it really needs a better graphics chip and probably needs a firewire port, other than that....this machine is a winner! Great general business performer!!!!!

Best ear buds i own .......2007-04-25

I have about 5 diffrent types of head phones and this are the best i have experienced, the rubber round the edge of them is great to keep them in ur ears and cutting out ambient noise. i would recommend this to anyone, they take a beating and cost very very cheap trust me i've tried them all = sony,skull candy,ipod earbuds etc etc etc when on my way to tha gym i make sure i have them even if my MP3 player is missing i get to do cardio and use this on the tv set ha ha great product i likey the philips good american company to stick to oh by tha way did i mention i had this for about 2 yrs now haha

Great bargain so far.......2006-11-01

I haven't had these long (couple of weeks). Bought as a replacement for my iPod headphones. I use them mainly for exercise so they take a beating (lots of running and sweating). These headphones have a good sound quality for the size (at least as good as the stock iPod) and can definitely get loud. Even though they don't stick into your ear canal, they are loud enough to block out the music that plays at my gym. There's a little rubber ring around the edge of the earpiece that makes them feel comfy and probably cuts down on a little ambient noise. Other reviewers complain about the lifespan of these. If I have problems, I'll update this review.
Well worth $10.

I SWEAR BY THESE HEADPHONES.......2006-07-13

These have been the best portable headphones i have used instead of a flat sounding music it has rlly good bass to it i love these headphones they last alot longer then others i have tried especialy with all my friends yanking them down when there still in my ears so go & buy a pair there cheap & exccelent quality especaliy recomended if you listen to music with alot of bass pop RnB & Rap

Awesome sound.......2006-04-24

I have the Sennheiser MX400 earbuds, and I have these. These sound about as good as the Sennheiser earbuds that I have, but cost about half as much.

What do you expect?.......2006-01-11

For a sub $10 pair of ear buds, you can't complain too much. They have lasted longer than my Sony, have better sensitivity, but the absence of bass is driving to larger and more costly solutions.

For sub $10 and if you don't care to get a large amount of trouble with little bass, this is your pair.

Amazon.com Product Description

Rollei's Prego 140mm camera provides a powerful 38-140mm zoom lens, a full-feature flash with red-eye reduction, and several creative options. A reliable autofocus system delivers sharp pictures with point-and-shoot ease. The focus lock lets you focus on a part of the subject outside the center of the frame. Use fill-in flash to relieve contrasting shadow or for night shots.

The preflash eliminates red-eye, and the autoflash ensures your pictures are exposed correctly indoors and outdoors. For photographic atmosphere, you can switch the flash off. Continuous shooting allows you to take pictures of moving subjects in rapid succession, while interval shooting captures sequences of movement at fixed intervals. The self-timer lets you put yourself in the picture. The camera includes an infrared remote control that can adjust the focus or trigger the shutter release. You can also create unusual effects by making several exposures on a single frame. Other creative features include portrait zoom, snapshot mode, fuzzy mode, data imprinting, and infinity lock.

Sharp photos!.......2003-03-21

I recently purchased the Rollei Prego 140mm 35mm camera (in place of the Leica Z2X as my 1st option & at that time, out-of-stock) & was very satisfied with the sharp images it took. However, I found the viewfinder a bit too small, sometimes hard to find, & the casing, a bit "cheapy", which makes it really light to carry on the other hand. I guess, you can't have it all. For the sharp pictures the camera took, I can overlook the camera's not-so-important "inferior" features, although for the price you pay for it, you'd at least expect better craftmanship.

Great long zoom point and shoot camera.......2000-12-21

Very sharp lens, various exposure and flash modes. The shake warning indicator is very usefull, specialy at no-flash mode or long tele (above 90mm). I have tested this camera to take pictures in various lighting condition, outdoor and indoor. All resulting pictures are very sharp. Of course I use a tripod in some conditions. This is a good choice for a long zoom point and shoot camera. Sharp under the right conditions that a point and shoot is made for. Don't dream a miracle picture like professional slr can produce. It still a point and shoot camera. The only weakness of this camera is the rear cover. Although the front cover is made from metal, the rear cover is made from plastic, it look like cheap fragile material.

I'm almost glad it was stolen!.......2000-08-12

I purchased this Rollei about 18 months ago as a replacement for an Olympus Zoom that I had enjoyed for several years. After many rolls of film the camera was stolen on a recent vacation, and I was almost glad! The Scheider optics that the Rollei literature brags about did not translate into quality pictures. The contrast was low and flat, and the flash exposures were pitiful compared to the lost Olympus. The controls and settings were confusing and forced me to carry the manual for a long time in order to be sure I would know how to operate the camera and I never did master it. I have been a amatuer photographer for 30 years and own 2 Nikon FE bodies and an assortment of Nikon lenses. I understand the fundamentals of photography. The Olympus was purchased for my wife but I found myself using it quite a bit. It was much easier to use and the resulting photographs were better exposed and sharper than the Rollei Prego. One note to anyone that thinks that a long zoom is essential -- keep in mind that at long zoom ranges the lense is at it's slowest resulting more often than not in shots that are blurred because the camera cannot be held steady enough for the longer exposure. Consider a more moderate length zoom - 70 or maybe 80mm should be plenty without spending more for the opportunity of making unacceptable photos and consider the speed of the lense through the entire range of the zoom. One more thing -- check out the reviews for the Olympus line of cameras and if you can live without a zoom, consider the Yashica T4 Super, too! Goodluck.

Good buy !.......2000-06-27

I just bought this camera and I haven't had any problmens wiht it. Actually I used in daily basis and I do not have to worry about finding any spare parts. Basically " reliability "

Fantastic purchase!.......2005-06-09

I originally had the Siemens Gigaset before this model and lightning struck my home. When I got ready to replace old the system, I knew I wanted the same great quality. This phone is wonderful, everything can be done from any handset. Something that I didn't discover until we moved in to a multiple story home and my neice was playing with the phone is the intercom feature. It lets you page any one or all the phones at any time, even when you're online! I can page and talk to people all over the house without going back up and down the stairs. It has kept me from having to yell through the house whenever I needed something or someone. It's a great purchase, and if lighting strikes again, I'm getting the same phone system or the upgrade.

Excellent phone.......2003-02-11

Was looking for an easy solution to phone quality and ease of use with an integrated answering system. Persistence in reading the documentation thoroughly was key in setting the phones up properly. The quality is really far and away much better than any other phones I've used. I love quality stuff so this fit me to a T. Price was good. So far, after about 6 months we've had no problems. I am a very satisfied customer.

Excellent Phone System - Excellent range, and features.......2002-06-28

Well, first to the reviewer "m_night2" from Savannah, who said you can use "regular" AA batteries in this phone... that is NOT true. The manual explicitly says that you CANNOT do that, and that the batteries must be NiCD or NiMH rechargeables. This is probably the reason he had trouble with his phone, because regular AA alkaline batteries are different voltage and milliamps than NiMH rechargeables. Use the right batteries and these phones work great.

The features are well thought out - everything is controllable from the handset. One nice thing is that you can pick up your messages from ANY handset. And you can set options from any handset. One of the dissapointments is that the phones do not replicate the directory from handset to handset, so you have to reenter all the names and numbers in every handset. (I really didn't expect that to work, but I was hoping.)

Great buy overall.
