Gift.......2007-12-31
I purchased this item as a Christmas gift for my husband. We recently moved to a new state and my husband was getting a little turned around. He loves the Magellan Maestro. He told me that it was easy to install and easy to use. He also told me that he would never be lost again.
Road trip down Route 66.......2007-12-31
My daughter received this for Christmas. She moved from Chicago to Las Vegas. This product guided us all the way. Was a blesing, great thing to have when moving to another area.
Exceeds expectations.......2007-12-30
First of all, map and firmware updates ARE available via the Magellan website - other reviewers have gotten this wrong. The 3100 is ready to go right out of the box, has a sensitive receiver, and ALL of its menus and features are intuitive. The display and maps are simple, yet clear, easy to work with quickly, and purposeful. There is no mess and using the unit doesn't require much toil and handling. Reroutes are fast, and instructions and tones are kept to a peaceful minimum.
One negative is that the unit comes with a car charger only, and does not charge via the USB port.
Great for the price.......2007-12-30
My wife caught this for a very good price. Even at the price tage of 150 bucks you can't go wrong. Download the update as soon as you get it and your set. I saw some people say it was short on the POI's and the update takes forever. It took less than an hour to get it from computer to gps. The added POI's and added items are fantastic. I don't think there is a better bang for the buck than this lil gem.
Just the basics.......2007-12-30
This is my first GPS. It seems to be OK so far, but I need to do the estimated 11 hour update. There are many POI that are not showing (ie gas stations and resturants). The price was great, but I hope I didn't sacrafice information just to save some money.

3 Thumbs Up.......2007-12-31
Terrific product. It took me 20 minutes to setup and I was off to the races. The RF option is amazing! We just installed a flat panel television and hide all of the equipment in the closet. It looks great!
Highly recommended!
Minor imperfections can't bring down the overall benefits of this remote.......2007-12-29
I spent more time trying to pick out a multi-function remote than I did setting this one up. The H890 is very easy to configure if you follow the instructions and use the updated software/firmware available from Logitech's web site. I concur with the common complaints of the remote balance, grip, and small buttons, but aside from those minor issues, this thing is great. Having moved the AV gear into another room and now using the RF functionality is a treat. Going through action macros can be a bit slow, but I blame that more on the devices being controlled than the remote itself. This device is a spectacular time saver and was easy for the family to learn. If you're willing to budget this much for a remote to add these conveniences, I think this is an excellent buy provided your expectations aren't any higher than what the product claims to do without voodoo. I am planning on purchasing an H880Harmony Advanced Universal Remote for another location in the house thanks to the pleasure I've had using the H890
Not for Seniors.......2007-12-26
If you can do text messaging on a cell phone, you can probably operate this remote. You also need good close vision. This remote is a slippery unit that is hard to hold and operate. It takes two hands and even then is difficult. Unless you have 20/20 vision, you can't read any of the touch keys. Once you find the one you want, it's hard to press the right button as you need very small fingers or long fingernails. It took me 7 hours to program and it still won't shut off my direct tv unit. The problem with the Direct TV unit is that there are several manufactures and you don't know which one built your unit. Therefore, you have to do a learning remote exercise facing one to the other. Each time I did this, it gave me new codes but none of them shut off the unit. The other problem is the one touch button only works when the units you want to activate are turned off. When I load a disc into my blueray player, it turns the unit on. Then I have to turn it off to use the remote. It does work through wood doors so I have to give it a couple of stars.
Wife Proof Remote.......2007-12-26
My wife has a hard time trying to figure out all of the remotes we have. There is one for the satellite receiver, the HD DVD player, the Blu-ray player, the HD TV, and the surround sound receiver. With this remote all my wife has to do is push a button and what ever she is trying to do happens. One key and everything turns on or off depending on what she is trying to do.
Prepare for HOURS of Frustration!.......2007-12-22
I have had many universal remotes, but none as bad as this one! I write computer software for a living, but the complexity of using this terrible piece of junk is unbelievable. Get ready to spend hours and hours sitting in front of your computer setting this up. Hours of time on the phone to technical support as they explain how do download more firmware updates, and how to go through detailed processes to get the wireless extender to work. Then, even when it works at all, the digital readout is hard to see and you'll have dozens of useless commands for all your devices to page through. For example, just to turn my receiver on or off, I had to page down through SIX pages of commands! Can you tailor all those and get this eventually to work? Maybe. But do you really have an entire work's week of your life to spend on a remote? The universal that comes with my Onkyo works to control the other devices just fine. Total time to set it up -- about 15 minutes. I suggest you move on to a different remote.

Amazon.com Product Description
Toshiba's Regza line of TVs marry state-of-the-art technology to hip design. One feature that sets them apart is PixelPure 14-bit digital video processing, which creates more than 4,000 levels of color gradations for a smooth, natural-looking picture without posterization or image banding. Another benefit is a fast response time. Response time is the interval an LCD screen takes to from its darkest color to its lightest color and back again, measured in milliseconds (ms). This screen's response time is 8 ms, which is at the faster and better end of the spectrum. This screen is likely to display cleaner, sharper images during high-action scenes and with fewer image artifacts than other screens in its class. This technology is housed in a black gloss cabinetry that is sure to fit well with most any decor.
The 32HL67 has a panel resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. This qualifies it as 720 progressive-line HDTV, which is a noticeably better picture than standard definition sets, but not as detailed as the 1080 HD sets available. Its 16:9 wide screen aspect ratio delivers most movies the way they were meant to be seen in the theater, without back bars wasting the top and bottom of the screen.
The Value of LCD TVs
Aside from their obvious aesthetic value, LCD TVs are much more practical in the home than CRT (tube-style) televisions. They take up a smaller footprint, and thus use up less floor space in the room. Also, LCD TVs are lighter and easier to move around when cleaning or redecorating. The 32HL67 is only 4.65 inches deep and weighs less than 35 pounds. Best of all, LCD screens use less power than CRTs and plasma screens.
Connections
The set has a built-in digital television tuner, so out of the box it can receive digital broadcast ATSC signals and QAM signals used by most digital cable providers. It also has a built-in 181-channel NTSC tuner, so it can also accept traditional analog signals. It can also make these connections to your audio and video components:
- HDMI inputs: 3
- ColorStream HD component video inputs: 2
- PC monitor input: 1 VGA 15 Pin D-sub
- S-video input: 1
- A/V inputs: 2
Audio
The unit's SoundStrip speaker system hides the unit's speakers in a thin strip bordering the screen. They're powerful enough to deliver big stereo sound, but they don't add significantly to the size of the set. Toshiba's StableSound feature maintains television volume within a preset range regardless of the source signal. This is an extremely useful feature when transitioning between a quiet television program and a very loud commercial advertisement or when changing channels. SRS WOW, a combination of SRS 3D, TruBass, and Focus sound-expanding systems, create a 3-D sound field with improved bass response over standard TV audio and create directed, three-dimensional audio sweet spot for maximum enjoyment. The TV also has optical digital output for connecting to your audio system.
32-inch wide screen
A general rule of thumb for selecting the right size television screen is that the screen width--not its 32-inch diagonal measurement--should be between three and five times the optimum viewing distance, such as the distance from the TV screen to where your eyes are while sitting on the couch. Less than that and you may be distracted by the scan lines of the picture. More than that, and you may lose the detail of your TV. Based on this guide, the 32HL67 is ideal for viewing distances of seven to 12 feet.
What's in the Box

Customer Reviews:
Alot of BANG for you BUCK.......2007-12-31
I must say that I made an excellent decision with by purchasing this TV! I am very particular when it comes to my HD picture and this TV has exceeded my expectations. When going to Best Buy, I had my mind made that I would be purchasing the Sony Bravia KDL-32S3000 for $1099. So I get to the store to look at it and yes it did have a great picture BUT I hated the cabinet. IT looked old. All the new TV's have the black gloss and then this one just looked OLD! So I walk by looking at other TV's and I notice the Toshiba. In the store it looked ok; nothing special about it, but the price is what caught my attention. Not just that, but I currently have a 46" Toshiba projection in the living room which I love. So I snatch up the TV for $799 mind you and I get it home and set it up!
I AM AMAZED! The TV looks so much better in my bedroom than it did at Best Buy! In the store it just looked eh, which is probably why it goes unnoticed. And being that they promote nothing but Samsungs, I can see why this TV goes unnoticed.
The HD picture is absolutely stunning. The blacks are deep true blacks and the color is so vibrant and bright! It has the 3 hdmi, 2 component, Pc hook up, and toslink digital audio which Rivals the Sony (only having 2hdmi) and the Samsung's which have the same inputs. Picture wise, this set will more than meet your expectations. In my opinion it definitely outshines the Sony and the Samsung models, especially when it comes to the price! The picture is vibrant; motion is smooth (no blur during fast scenes) and no pixilation. I currently have a DVD up converter, Xbox 360, and Comcast cable box hooked up to this set in the bedroom. It definitely stands and delivers!
So to anyone out there that is comparing TV's and looking for great value....I highly recommend snatching this up! A great brand with EXCELLENT Picture/Features at an AWESOME price! Hope this was helpful for you!
Eagle Shipping came through!.......2007-12-30
I just wanted to share our positive exprience with eagle shipping. The unit was delivered in 7 days to our Florida house over the Xmas holiday.
The TV looks sharp with a great picture a clean modern look to the design. So far we are please we purchase this TV.
White Glove Delivery ? Not as described!.......2007-12-29
UPS called, delivered the TV to my residence. It was well packed and the box showed no damage. No problem. (they did not bring it in my house,unpack it, remove packing material and check the tv for damage). However, had the box shown any damage I would not have accepted it! It is difficult at least to try and collect damages on an item damaged in shipping.
Oh yah, the TV. First impressions are good. Satisfied with the picture quality. Lots of options. Only problem was their set up mode. Quite clumsy and time consuming. It took hours to program in chanels etc. I am not sure if all new sets don't have the same issue.
Great tv at a great price.......2007-12-29
I'll keep this short and to the point. I did extensive reviews online before buying the Toshiba Regza. The other two tv's I was looking at were the sharp and samsung. The samsung's seemed too buggy (hdmi sound issues) and the sharp didn't have the options I wanted. For almost $100 dollars less the toshiba was a great choice, and the picture is great!
Some people have issues using the vga input, as it limit's the resolution to 1280x1024. My solution was to use a dvi to hdmi cable to output 720p from my computer, then set the tv to native resolution. I use the tv like this a lot, and it looks amazing!
Sure, there are better tv's out there, but if you want the best bang for your buck, you can't go wrong with the Toshiba!!
Awesome!.......2007-12-28
I made a lot of research online and at electronic stores before I finally decided to buy this TOSHIBA. The Regza 32" is definatelly the best cost/ benefit in the market now. Colors, bright, contrast, design, everything looks really good, modern, high end, AWESOME!
PROS
Seriously, everythimg!

PS3® HDMI CABLE
Customer Reviews:
Good cable.......2007-12-28
Got this cable and it is awsome.Very clear quality when playing PS3 games and watching Blur Ray movies. I would recommend it.
Great HDMI cable for a PS3.......2007-12-26
this cable is great for a PS3, work perfectly. It play in 1080P.
good choise
works fine, no complaints.......2007-12-17
Bought a fresh playstation3, and an HDTV, so didn't want to scrimp on the connection. Cable works fine, both for playing games and watching blu-ray movies ... good choice !!
Great price, excellent results!!.......2007-12-14
Excellent performance, great price!! other cables are much more expensive but this one works great for image/sound. Great deal!!
Strong HDMI Cable at a Reasonable Price.......2007-12-12
I have the PS3, and I need a HDMI cable for that 1080p experience. I bought this for the simple reason that it was at a decent price, unlike those other expensive cables or those cheap cables at like $5. I went with something in between those prices. It felt very durable and lasting. The coating of the wire I think is very good and sturdy/strong. The cable would have been a 5/5 from me if there weren't some problems.
The first problem. I plug in the cable, I on the PS3, and when the PS3 is communicating with the HDMI cable, you hear a popping noise and a static screen. this happens if i start a game or a bluray. NOW, THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN DURING GAMEPLAY OR WHILE WATCHING THE MOVIE. It only happens when you turn it on. The problem went away after like two weeks, it could be because the PS3 need to get used to it maybe the HDTV that I'm using.
The second problem. There are many version of HDMI cables. The description of the cable given here specify what version it is. I think the latest version is 1.3, which offers some capabilities that I dont' know. Now, this cable works fine and give me a great picture, but not knowing if this cable is the latest version that will stand the test of time is bad. I tried searching online, but no help, maybe somebody here has better luck than me.
Other than that, worth the money. Really, HONESTLY. It's better than paying for it expensively, and it give me a great 1080p. I wish I knew what version HDMI it is though?

Customer Reviews:
Great value .......2007-12-28
This is a wonderful little camera. The night vision works great and it records just fine in very little light. I would definitely recommend this camera. You may need to buy accessories like the tapes and the duo memory stick if they don't come with the camera prior to being able to use it.
Great little camcorder.......2007-12-26
I got exactly what I wanted: a camcorder that carries easily under a coat or sweater and can also take still pictures suitable for snapshots. Snapshots up to 4x6 are fine but not as good as my 7 megapixel Olympus, but since I can take pictures immediately instead of waiting for the camera to start up it has worked out that 90% of my still photos are on the HC-48.
What a great item!!.......2007-12-16
I received is very quickly and used it right away. I works very well for me. Even the nightshots came out somewhat colorful. I liked that. Very light. I still wish there was a way to clip a light on it though.
Great Value.......2007-12-08
I had a Sony TRV24 (much bucks) which I loved, which got lost on a trip :(
after much shopping and angst. I ordered this unit.
Major Pros:
- Outstanding price/value, half the price of the prior unit.
- Video is as-good as my high end unit. Still photo is better and usable, although a little washed. It could be settings.
- Size is very convenient, other units we just enough bigger to not fit in pockets, bags etc. folded up, it safely fits in a big jacket pocket.
- The prior unit had a large 3.5in screen, but not touch. This smaller touch screen works very well.
- The dock is a nice feature as well as the video/pc upload software. This was not included in older generation units.
- Amazon had a factory sealed unit to me pronto! and the return policy is perfect. No restock or other box-store nonsense. Bravo Amazon.
Get the tiffen UV lense to protect the Leica lens. cheap insurance!
Battery life seems great.
Cons:
- Not many at all. Overall, its thick plastic, and some actions are purely mechanical latches vs. springs and levers which may prove better.
its a simpler mechanical design, but probably more chunky and in the end less delicate.
- One design flaw, when you flip the LCD to show it to the subject, you lose the viewfider.... dumb.
Picture Quality Is Excellent.......2007-11-01
I purchased this camera as a gift for a friend. As the other reviewers have elaborated, the camera has a lot of features for the price. Perhaps the best feature is the picture quality. The Carl Zeiss Vario- Tessar lens produces brilliant and lucid images as advertised.
One of the cons of this camera is the 2.7-inch widescreen touch-panel Hybrid LCD display, which can get a bit annoying to deal with at times.
Overall though the camera is a solid buy, and I would recommend it.
Product Description
28 volt Lithium-Ion battery packs power the entire Milwaukee V28 System of power tools. The V28 Lithium-Ion battery pack offers up to twice the run-time of an 18V NiCd or NiMH pack and is actually lighter than 18V NiCd and NiMH packs! Lithium-Ion technology allows consistent fade-free power - meaning the first cut is as powerful as the last. V28 Lithium-Ion battery packs will never develop a memory and can be charged at any time regardless of the pack's current charge level! Press the 'fuel gauge' button and LED indicators display remaining charge left in the pack, providing an ideal way to check the state of the pack before you climb onto a roof or up a ladder.

Finaly a battery that lasts.......2007-10-29
Milwaukee finaly made a battery that matches their tools.The milwaukee tools were always strong, durable, and very dependable. I have owned the 18 volt combo set for years and love the tools, the batteries are a nother story, they were very weak in power they would not last for the smallest jobs (I own 4-18 volt batteries)for the set. But this new 24 volt lithium battery finaly matches the tool, I have 3-batteries for the kit and the power is amazing. the batteries hold a charge for the longest time.They will last the day. Milwaukee did a great job with this battery.
Milwaukee 28v battery pack.......2007-09-01
I own the impact hammer and the band saw and use both with only one 28V battery pack. Obviously, there is only so much I can do with only one battery but to date it has worked very well. The fuel gauge is essential if you have a large job pending as it will tell you if you need to recharge. The band saw uses a lot more of the battery than the impact hammer. I used the band saw to cut 1/4" grating and had no problem with the battery as I had several things to do between cuts which also allowed me to recharge when the battery ran low. The impact hammer can drive anything to any depth except lug nuts. Have to be careful not to drive to tight though. I rated the battery only 4 stars as when not in use the charge drops quickly. i.e. several days it is down to 1/4 charge.
no problems here.......2007-02-26
I have had my v28 set now for a while and have used my tools for a variety of tasks. I am in the plumbing trade so most applications have been in relation to that. I own almost all of the v28 line of tools so these batteries have run my v28 radio, hammer drill, band saw, sawzall, angle drill, rotary hammer, circular saw, and impact wrench. I have never had a problem with the batteries at all in any of the tools I have used. They have gone from tool to tool with no problems whatsoever and in fact outperformed any cordless tool I have ever used. I can't speak for everyone but these battery driven tools have never disappointed me.
Milwaukee Battery Pack.......2007-01-15
This battery pack is so great. The reason it shows how much life is left on the battery. Which other battery packs don't have. I think it is as good or better than Dewalt. No other battery pack shows how much life is left on the battery.
the company gets this rating.......2007-01-09
My question to you, Milwaulkee, is after the fiasco with your 18 volt batteries, why you don't have a 18v Li-Ion to replace the previous JUNK??
You have failed to respond to my e-mails so this is my last resort. To all of you who are considering Milwaulkee cordless tools, do yourself a favor, DON'T DO IT, go with DeWalt Makita or Bosch I am positive u will be happier..........

Quinn.......2007-12-28
is the newest tech but has no rang and poor sound, i got one for my friend and it works great and even a lower headset h900 works better then my h9
Mixed results.......2007-12-21
The Motorola H9 is a slight improvement in sound quality over my previous headset, a Motorola H500. The H9 ear bud does seal out more of the ambient environment noise, but the highest volume levels of both appear to be identical and are still too low. I find the ear hook of the H500 to the ear bud of the H9 as a more secure way to wear the headset.
Average..........2007-12-14
Average.... Battery life is not so great... one long conversation and it is done. Only saving grace is the portable cordless charger, but if you have back to back calls, it is a little frustrating. I got it because it was small and fit down in your ear (I like my sony ear phones that fit down in the ear - they are comfortable and have amazing clarity). The only other thing is that it fits down in my ear, but occasionally feels like it could possibly fall out.
you get what you pay for!.......2007-10-03
the Motorola Miniblue H9 is everything you want on a compact, light weight bluetooth. Not only the talk time is more than sufficient for any phone you can think of, you can also take the charger on the go to give it more juice when need it. now if they only made it for the phones. bottom line you will have a bluetooth when you need it just hope you have a phone to keep up with it.
Mostly satisfied with Motorola Miniblue H9 Headset.......2007-09-19
I purchased the H9 for 2 reasons. Small size and has an earbud for better sound and a comfortable fit. I am satisfied with both of those requirements. Sound quality from speaker is very good. The earbud is comfortable and blocks out ambient noise.
The downsides are few, but there are two issues that trouble me about the product. 1. The microphone is very sensitive. In a quite area the person you are speaking with can hear you very clearly. However, any background sounds are picked up and makes it difficult for people to hear you speak. 2. The charging system comes with an AC adapter, however I also have a Motorola RAZR and a Y-Adapter for charging both phone and Headset. The H9 charger requires the same connector as the phone, so therefore the Y-Adapter isn't recommended for it. I have to now use two AC Adapters.
Overall I like the product and would recommend it.

Easy product to use, much easier phone conversations.......2007-10-10
I purchased this phone for my dad, who has hearing aids (and always seems to be having problems with them) and is in a nursing home. For an older person who may have trouble figuring out phones with lots programmable buttons/features, this phone was a really good choice. The phone had features that I wanted (easy keypad, speed dial buttons, volume control, amplification/clarity features), but not lots of extras that I know he either won't use or understand how to use. The speed dial buttons are easy to figure out (a family member programmed them for him) and are helpful for him, since he finds remembering numbers (or locating them/dialing them in) difficult. The best part of this phone is that I can now have an almost normal conversation with him, whereas before we used to spend a good deal of time repeating ourselves, then sometimes giving up. In fact, I was pleasantly shocked to have the first conversation with him and find that instead of asking me what I said, he just continued right on with a reply to what I was saying! I do wish it had a speakerphone feature, but the fact that we can have a normal conversation makes up for that.
Ameriphone XL 50........2007-09-09
I tried several phones for the hearing impared and did not find a satisfactory one till I purchased the Ameriphone XL 50. This is a product that certainly meets my needs. I can highly recomend it. Very easy to set up.
Good Phone.......2007-07-13
I bought this phone for my dad who was significant hearing loss from nerve deafness and old age. He is deaf in his right ear and has about 30% of his hearing in the left. He can hear the phone ring easily and likes the big buttons. He can now talk to my four-year-old niece on the phone with no difficulty. Which is great because she lives in Canada and he doesn't get to see her very often. This is a good product.
Review of Ameriphone XL50 Phone.......2007-06-16
The phone does amplify; but you have to balance the tone with the volume or you'll end up with a very garbled amplification.
Works great with a neck loop.......2007-03-10
This is an excellent phone for the hearing impaired. A couple of minor complaints. There are three ringer settings but no on-off switch. And the audio jack requires a 1/8" mono plug. If you use a neck loop with this phone (with your telecoil switch), you will have to get two Radio Shack adapters if you lose the one that comes with the phone.
