They can also be used for home defense in a pinch.

hell, you can mine the thing for aluminium.

just picked up this for times I work on huge projects at home

killpanda · September 4th, 2008, 04:04 PM

No photos but in the past weeks I got a 750GB ATA drive (now got 1.4TB in my old PowerMac G4 ^^), a Blackberry 8820 (which I will probably sell soon) and the cherry on the top of the cake, a brand new Nokia N95 ^^

Much much faster than my old E61, I don't regret my 50€

The only thing I miss is the full keyboard

Nokia 6300:

Not the most high-specced phone around, nor is it the newest phone around but it does what i want from a phone; call, text, play music, and has a radio

excellent choice, i have one too (had to get wired since for some unknown reason the wireless version doesnt have the numerical key pad!)

its so easy to type on, and type fast and accurately on. so i think you'll love it.

also, dont forget theres actually 2 USB ports on this thing....as theyre hidden i always always forget that i actually have 2 more ports to plug things in

I think they made the wireless one something you can use on your couch and your big screen tv, where you don't really need a numeric keypad

Never tested one though, maybe when our new iMacs will arrive at my school ^^

I don't understand why you'd use a keyboard for that unless it has a built in mouse of some sort, and at that point you might as well get a media remote.

How about a bluetooth Mighty Mouse ?

klankymen · September 4th, 2008, 07:19 PM

dun really work too well on your lap though...

Shawn · September 5th, 2008, 12:38 AM

I really don't like the Mighty Mouse.

It's just nowhere near as ergonomic as Logitech's offerings. I like Apple, but let's face it, they've always sucked at making mice. Remember that horrible little hockey puck thing that came with the original iMac?

Work just supplied me with this, HP Compaq 2710p, lovely tablet pc!

CyberMonkey · September 7th, 2008, 08:34 PM

I still wonder if someone ever uses it as it should be used, as a tablet. Nice thing, though

oh oh, do tell your opinion of it after you've had a chance to test it out. i have a HP TC4200 right now, and if i were to upgrade to a newer one like that, the 2700's is probably what i would upgrade to.

jimmymac · September 7th, 2008, 10:10 PM

It won't get its proper roadtest for a couple of weeks, at the moment i'm still in training for parts of the job so mostly it will be just used for checking my emails. Once i'm out on the road i'll get a chance to try out the functionality of it a bit more

Quiky · September 8th, 2008, 05:01 AM

I have the HP tx2525 tablet.. I'll post a review in a couple of weeks about it.

The tablet part is nice, but not used as much as I thought I would.

burnsy · September 8th, 2008, 05:36 AM

nice, that's the other one i've been looking at. the tx2500 series is much better than the tx1000, as it has an active digitizer rather than passive. also, yours has a touchpad, and the 2700 does not, just the stick mouse. and if you don't mind, add in how much you got it for when you write up your review, as a comparison to how much i might be able to get it for at school.

Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000... I swear by it

finally, after much deliberation, and about 4 years after everyone else and their mom, I got this as a bday present:
