Cowon iAudio 7, 16GB

First impressions:
1, I love it!!
2, I was stunned when I saw how small it was, for some reason I thought it was much bigger!
3, The sound is amazing!
4, I love the one-click record from radio option, excellent when you hear a song you like that you don't already have!
5, I feel even more sorry for ipod users now that I have experienced the Cowon....

$1100 out the door with tax.
RM-70 2.0ghz, 3GB ram, 250gb hdd, WIFI A/B/G/N, Lightscribe, Vista Ultimate 64bit.

I'm pretty happy with it.. Only thing that sucks is the laptop runs rather HOT, and the power adapter is undersized for the notebook-- so that gets blazing hot.

Runs games pretty well-- even Rainbow Six Vegas 2..

More for the later review.

GT4 is still the most complete racing game out there and it still kicks ass. NooDle you'll have a great time with it. Try to check the 2nd hand cars once in a while. You'll be able to find some cars that cannot be found in the official dealerships in the game

Yays, the nice UPS man gave me this today:

Antec MX-100, along with a 500gb SATA II hdd, to replace a 120gb IDE <rant>that just happened to die without warning me, getting rid of my 60gb movie collection and 50-60gb's of top gear and stuff.

</rant> The activity light looks like the batman logo for some reason, but that's cool.

Well you are saving a crap load of money by doing that, so it appears your the smarter one (may not be as happy as me though

Also why does everyone hate on GT5: P? Its almost a complete game for me, might be due to the fact I only play online games anymore...

Missing the best track ever!

...and yes I am out of my mind, I hate that look of the car's weight moving around in GT4, makes me wanna...

Oh don't get me wrong, I love it, but right now it's lacking tracks and cars !

My first SE, and my first non-Nokia phone in about six or seven years. Just had enough of how slow their range has become, absolutely delighted so far with the C902's performance !

I bought a new XBOX360 Elite. This is my second 360, the first is in for repairs again. It came back from repairs on August 26th then died on the 28th! I wouldn't have bought it, but with a bit over $1500 invested, a 360 to play it all on is really nice.

I liked the phone so well, I included it in one of my photoshoots

sweet

I have that phone as well and like it a lot. It has this fantastic quality feel to it, thanks to the sleek profile, brilliant screen and steel body parts. Camera could really use a flash though :/

I just bought my GF one of these for her Birthday.
She loves it!

UPDATE: LG-VX9700

This phone started off great, but now the novelty has dissapeared. This phone has a terrible speakerphone compared to many others I have had. It also feezes up (I think that is a Verizon or LG problem lately) and won't load my music. On the plus side it does have a great camera and the web browser isn't too bad.

It's all over ebay, but still quite expensive though.

Mine has been freezing every now and then as well. I have to say I am the opposite of you though, I really disliked the phone when I first got it, but now that I have gotten comfortable with the keyboard and its different functions it really isn't all that bad.

I think the reason I hate the touch screen is due to my huge fingers.

PROS:
Great camera features and quality.
Not a bad browser.
The display looks amazing.
Extra battery is available.
Real 3.5mm headset.
Battery life is better than expected for a large touch screen.
Scrolling is good, after getting used to.

CONS:
No streaming of music.
Laggy
