Nigeria mobile phone scam!
Samsung Armani P520 Mobile Phone
This phone arrived todayas an upgradeand I have to sayI am really impressed with it.Ihave to admit that initially I was awas a little wary of the 'designer'Giorgio Armani marketing hype surrounding it's release and expected to be disappointed but it is a good phone with some excellent features.
The packaging is as you would expect with Armani behind the styling. The box aloneis a masterpiece in itself andcontains all the usual samsung accessoroes plus four exclusive armani accessories - a leather case, an accessory bag for your headset and data cable, phone bag and a screen wipe. All of these, including the charger are coloured Armani - a dark sensuous chocolate hue instead of the customary black.I love the design. The touchscreen interface is a dream to use.This phone has loads of features that will appeal. The MP 3 player and camera are good, battery life is good and there are options to customise too.
The new Croix touch screen interface has put Samsung in a league of its own. It is so easy to use.
Drawbacks - there is no radio but the MP3 player quality really makes this a minor point. It would have been good to have seen this released in different colours too but I guess the Armani contract restricted this.The case is a standard case with Armani styling. I would have liked to have seen a battery case like the P300, P310 and F300. Thecase style allows for this. I am surprised Samsung did not include this as a feature
Anyone who liked the P300 and P310 will love this phone. I would recomend you buy a screen protector - a good one - especially if you are looking to resell later. This is a touch screen phoneso you will need to protect it as much as possible from smearsand scratches.
Overall the Samsung Armani is a better phone than theF700 in terms of design, features and like most Samsung phones it is easy to use. Ladies dont be put off by the masculine colours - this is an ideal one for us to use. It's light, small and very sexy in design. I reommend this phone. Excellent!

i love my bugaboo!!!
i have 6 children ranging from 16years to 5 months.over the years i have had sooooooooooooo many prams/pushchairs and travel systems.ive had just about every make and model there is,marmet,silver cross,mothercare,graco,chicco,bebecar,bebeconfort,maclaren,emmaljunga,jane,quinny,mamas and papas,britax,but the best ive ever had has to be the bugaboo cameleon.its fab!!
when i first saw them,i have to say i really wasnt that keen,i thought they seemed too expensive for not alot of pram.but when i was recently looking for a smaller pram for my little baby (i bought an emmaljunga smart duo combi for her when she was born but that was just too big and bulky for the car..great for walking though!)i saw the cameleon.i loved the pink,but still wasnt sure about the pram itself.
my cousin had her baby just before me,and she had bought one and said how great it was.so i took the plunge and bought one off ebay (brand new from justkiddingonline,got the maxi cosi carseat with it for the same price that you usually pay just for the pram!)i thought even if i didnt like it,id probably get near enough back what i paid for it if i put it back on ebay (thats another goodthing about bugaboos,they hold their value)
the day came and it arrived!and from the minute it was all put toether i loved it!!its light to push,the height adjusting handle is great,the colour is lovely and my baby looks cosy in there!the carrycot is huge,and will accomodate until quite big (it says until 6 months,but as it is so big i should think you could add a couple of months onto that,especially if your little one is in no rush to sit up).
it was easy to put together,abit fiddly working out how to fold,but once you know how its soooo easy!it doesnt fold up small,as it comes in two bits to fold,so make sure your boot is big enough!
the other great thing about this pushchair is that if i get bored of it,i can just get another set of fleeces in a different colour and its like having a new pram again!!
the accessories are great aswell.you can get snow wheels to change from the small front wheels,the footmuff is fab (got mine 2nd hand off ebay!)and you can get a cup holder aswell,oh and you can a matching parasol,or a breezy hood and sunshade,and the changing bag is massive!!plus you can co-ordinate it with the colour of your pram.
theres so much more to this pushchair than meets the eye!yes,it is expensive,but if you look you can get a really great 2nd hand one.although like i say,they do hold their value so still be prepared to pay a few hundred pounds for one!!
forgot to say aswell,you can get adapters so that you can add a carseat.maxi cosi carseats fit,aswell as the mamas and papas primo viaggio (seen someone selling the adapters for it on ebay!)
once again,i think this is just the best pushchair around today,i just wish i had got one sooner...id have saved alot of money!!!
Improve Your Searches Maximise the eBay Search Engine
If you've spent any time searching the eBay website at all, you know that there are a lot of items for sale on eBay. Millions of them, in fact. Choice is always good, but if you're like most users, sometimes you'd rather have the search result listings you want rather than seemingly endless pages of items that merely happened to match the word you typed in the search box. And what if you're potentially looking for multiple related items? Do you really have to run multiple searches to find them?
By using a few simple techniques, you can make your searches more specific, more flexible, and easier to navigate all at the same time. And by doing so, you can save yourself an awful lot of time as a buyer.
Searching for Multiple TermsTo search for listings that contain any of several terms (rather than all of them), enclose your search terms in parentheses and separate them by commas. Consider the following search examples: teapot cups saucersIf you type these three words into the eBay search box, you'll get only results that include all of the words in their titlelistings that are selling teapots and cups and saucers at the same time. You won't, however, see listings that are just selling any one of them.
(teapot,cups,saucers)By listing the terms in parentheses separated by a comma, you can get eBay to list items that use any term in their title. You'll see listings for teapots and/or listings for cups and/or listings for saucers in your results.
(teapot,cups,saucers) (dutch,china)As you can see, you can also use multiple sets of terms in parentheses. A search like this one will find item listings that contain one or more of the first group of terms and also one or more of the second group of terms.The search box allows you to string together as many terms inside a set of parentheses and as many sets of terms enclosed by parentheses as you please
Sometimes you don't just want more results or more flexible resultsyou also want more specific results. Usually this means that some things came up in your search results that you don't want to see. When this happens, you can cause eBay to exclude those items by adding a related to your search with a hypen (-) in front of it. Consider the following exclusions: (teapot,cups,saucers) (dutch,china) -vintageBuilding on our previous example, this search returns all of the listings that are for a teapot, cups, or sauchers and that also include either the word "dutch" or the word "china," but it excludes any results that contain the word "vintage."
(teapot,cups,saucers) (dutch,china) -vintage -antique -turquoise -jade -handmadeThis tool, too, can be used multiple times in a single search. This one is identical to the previous one except that it also excludes any listings for items that are "antique," made out of "turquoise" or "jade," or that are "handmade."As you can see, by using parentheses and hypens, you can create fairly complex searches for eBay to carry out on your behalfand you can save yourself a lot of time you'd otherwise spend filtering through results that you didn't want.
Searching Item DescriptionsSometimes, when you want the absolute greatest number of results possible within your criteria, or when you're searching for an item that you think sellers may have listed in various ways, it can help to search not only for items' titles, but also for words in their descriptions. Each time you run a search, you'll notice a checkbox just below the search box on your results page that's labeled "Search title and description." To run your search again, but search through the item descriptions (i.e. entire listings) rather than just through the titles of listed items, check this box and click the "Search" button again. You'll get a much longer list of results that still match the criteria you've already given.
Narrowing By CategoryOnce you have run a search, whether just by title or also by description, you can narrow your search results by eBay category using the list of related categories shown at the left edge of the results page. Simply click on any of the listed categories to re-run your search only for that category.
By combining a well-formed set of search terms and exclusions with a specific category, you can produce search results that are amazingly flexible, specific, and complete.
For further illustration, here are some additional complex examples for you to evaluate. As you study the search terms for each, try to predict what results the search will return before clicking on the search or reading its description.
digital camera body (nikon,canon,olympus) (d70,10d,e-1) -strap -caseThis search will find several models of digital camera bodythe Nikon D70, the Canon 10D, or the Olympus E-1and will at the same time exclude listings that have the words "strap" or "case" in them, like "Nikon D70 digital camera body strap" or "Olympus E-1 digital camera body case."
dvd (disney,dumbo,aladdin,the little mermaid) -widescreen -playerThis search will find DVD listings that include the words "disney," "dumbo," "aladdin," or "the little mermaid," and will exclude any results that contain the term "widescreen" or "player."
winter coat (girls,womens,juniors,female) -fur -leather -vintageThis search will find winter coat listings that are "girls," "womens," "juniors," or made for a "female," while excluding any listings for coats made out of "for" or "leather," or that are listed as "vintage.".Study the examples on this page and try out some complex searches on your own.
You'll soon find that you can search the eBay website like a pro!
Sony HDR-SR5E HD Camcorder
At first glance, the unit's overall design doesn't look particularly noteworthy, but closer inspection reveals a classy exterior. A tough plastic slider protects the unit's component jacks rather than the cheap rubber flap you would normally expect to find. In terms of weight, the HDR-SR5E comes in at over half a kilogram, which is enough to keep your footage reasonably steady without burdening your arms.We found the touch screen controls to be responsive and user-friendly, with the majority of features easy to locate in the menu. For those who prefer to just point and shoot however, the included 'easy' button makes things even simpler; with the camera automatically adjusting modes and settings to suit your environment. We would therefore recommend this model to novices and older/younger users who find camera menus difficult to navigate.More adventurous users will find plenty of adjustable settings on this unit, including the excellent Smooth Slow Record function which records footage at a quarter of its usual speed. This is a very handy mode for athletes who want to study their technique, such as tennis serves, without any motion blur. Another noteworthy playback feature is Face Index, which automatically detects faces in a moving image and displays them on the touch screen as thumbnail images. In addition to these helpful features, the HDR-SR5E also has adjustable shutter speeds, white balance modes, a selection of digital effects and manual focus.Like Sony's other hard disk-based handycams, the HDR-SR5E attaches to an included docking station which doubles as a battery charger and data transferring device. This allows you to transport your files to a TV or computer for viewing and editing purposes. Making DVDs of your video footage is a simple one-step procedure thanks to the handy 'disc burn' button located on the docking station. However, if you plan to extensively edit your footage, you will need to purchase editing software that supports high definition video

ps3 60gb
I've been ripped off buying a PS3 60GB - don't get ripped off too!
1. Look at the feedback - don't buy from sellers with no or little feedback.
2. Look at the sellersprevious transactions - if they're in a short space of time and for small amounts - alarm bells should ring!
3. Pay with Paypal - from a trusted ebayer and get the 500 protection.
4. How long has the seller been a member? Look for well established sellers who have something to lose if they receive bad feedback.
Don't be stupid like I was!
Samsung LE40R88BD LCD review
I purchased one of these TV's for 619.99 recently. It's my first large LCD TV. My main use for the TV is standard def digital TV via a Sky box which it works well with. As expected, the picture is bright and clear but it does suffer with that slight blur to the image as most Hi-def TV's do with a standard def input.
However, connect it to a hi-def source (In my case, an Xbox 360 HD-DVD add on) and the image comes alive. The picture is amazing and so clear. In standard def the image can sometimes be slightly jumpy during fast moving scenes, but in high def mode, everything moves so smoothly. There are a range of inputs including Scart, Component and 2 x HDMI. Plenty for me at the moment.
As with a lot of large LCD/Plasma TV's, the sound isn't like you would expect from your standard CRT TV. In my opinion it has something to do with the fact there isn't any depth to the casing so the speakers are reduced in size. I could be wrong. There is bass but it can suffer when the volume is turned up high. Not ideal for playing your tunes out loud on. But, the majority of people won't be put off by this as it will connect nicely to a surround sound system.
Overall, I have owned this TV for around 3 months now and I am pleased with it. The only thing that does annoy me slightly is the strange pattern that appears when the Channel 4 logo comes up on the screen. It seems that whenever the background is almost completely white, anything in a darker colour develops a strange alternating pattern. At first I blamed it on my Sky box, but if you pause the image then start it again, the pattern stops?! It's hard to describe, but anyone who own's the TV will no doubt know what I mean, unless it's just a problem with mine that is!
If your thinking of buying one, go for it. You won't be dissapointed. Freeview is built in and the piano black frame makes it one of the best looking LCD's available.

Britax Verve - Do Not Buy!!!
I have been using the Britax Verve for 6 months now, its lightweight, looks great, very nippy.However, there is one major design fault it can't function on uneven pavements - as soon as the front wheel hit an uneven pavement, the whole buggy tips forward, you have to make sure you are holding on tight when pushing. I have lost count of the number of time my son has had a jolt from this. The final straw came when Iwas pushing him downhill and the buggy hit a a corner of a pavement and the whole thing tiped over with my son in it, I was lucky thathe just ended up with a lump on the forhead and nothing more serious!!
I am seriously disappointed in Britax - I would have thought this buggy would have been road tested in the real world! -I have written to them with my view - wait the hear. I hope they take to product of the market or modify it.
I wouldn't recommend buying it - I wish I had stuck to a good old Maclaren instead of going for the looks of the Britax Verve!!
Iraqi Dinar - 27 Dec 2007
The 2 guides written about the Iraqi Dinar that say the investment is a bad idea are a little out of date. The one with the most views is actuallyborrowed fromanother siteand was writtenover 3years ago. Alot has changed since then!!!
Both state that the Dinar cannot be exchanged at banks. This simply is not true!! You get in touch with Barclays, RBS, Natwest or Halifax and ask to buy Iraqi Dinar. I've bought from Barclays and they will buy it back. Not sure about USA banks as I don't live there,but I know Chase deal with Dinar.
One of the old guides says that the Dinar is valued at 1460IQD = 1USD. Nope!!! It currently trades at 1216IQD = 1USD. So if you'd bought at the time you would've made money. Not alot, but still profit. Check the CBI (central bank of Iraq)website for up to date and accurate exchange rates.
From what I can gather,the sanctions on Iraqhave pretty much all been lifted and I believe the last (and possibly most important)of those is to be removed VERY soon. 31 Dec 2007. The war debt is a debt for the USA, not Iraq. The pre war debt has largely been written off with help from the IMF. One guide asks why a country would invest in a country that failed to pay back old debts, if you do some quick research, you'll find thatIraq still owes Kuwait money, yet Kuwait are still offering help to Iraq.
HSBCthought it a good idea tobuy 70% of Dar Es Salam bank in Iraq, and that was a year or 2 ago. Just because what you see on the TV is bad, it doesn't mean nothing good is going on out there. Every investment is risky. Even buying property here in the UK! What if you buy today and next month prices crash! Probably won't happen, but would you bet your life on it?
At the end of the day, the Iraqi Dinar is a risky investment, however no one can say for sure what will happen. If you're reading this you're obviously considering the IQD as an investment. My advise is to ignore XE.com as their talk on the Dinar isvery much out dated. Search the net for newinfo and up to datefacts and make your own mind up rather than doing as someone else says. I have no idea which way this will go, but I am in it to win it. I follow the rule, don't risk more than you can afford to lose.
I have nothing to gain from this guide. I do not sell Dinar and the Dinar I bought I got from Barclays bank. I just want you todo your own research rather than trusting any ofthese guides.

My friend brought a40G version and was so upset when he realized all hisPS2 games did not work on them!Although it may be cheaper to buy a 40G version the extra money is worth it to play the old games on! Also the smaller versions only have two controller ports instead of the 4 on the 60G versions!
The 60G version plays most of the ps2 games there are only a few that do not work!
Also another point, when playing any of the ps3 games for the first time, make sure you are connected to the internet so the latest versions of the game are installed!
"Assassins Creed" was almost unplayable due to freezing untill i updated the game!
Have a good x-mas everyone!!!!!!!
