Hmm, I was thinking about getting a new printer that could print CDs/DVDs as well, but that lightscribe thingy looks pretty neat!

It takes half an hour to put like a photo and text on a CD. The Lightscribe disks I got don't burn with my burner.. :/

Half an hour? That's impressively long. But then, I don't have that many Discs that I'd print at all, so time's a minor factor in that respect.

That one looks great, but unfortunately I don't have enough space for such a multi task machine. I'll probably get the IP4300 as soon as my old crappy HP has run out of ink.

Very nice awdrifter, just replaced my W800i with a simpler W550i, still a great phone despite the downgrade in memory and camera.

It's much better than my original N91 4GB. Faster, smoother and the audio is still as fantastic when you get the right earphones for the job. A2DP is really nice as well.

Well it is lovely, but when you first get it you think it's a bit of a nightmare in regards to fingerprints.

Thanks. I like it so far. The music player is pretty good, I'm considering getting a 4GB Memory Stick for it. But I'm afraid it will increase the power consumption. Will it?
