Absolutely fabulous. This is undoubtedly THE mobile broadband USB stick for most people, with effectively no expiry on the top-ups so long as you do at least a cursory email check or something every couple of months. It comes pre-loaded with a gigabyte top-up, and I've not even used half of that in the last six months. Sure, it's not the cheapest if you are a heavy user, but how many people are really sitting on YouTube all day on their laptops away from a wi-fi connection? By the way, it will fall back to using Vodafone 2G if 3G is not available in the area - slow, but enough to check emails if necessary, and since you are charged on data transferred rather than time on-line, it won't cost anything more.
Good points:
  • Nice simple design, and well made by Huawei
  • Has expansion slot for microSD memory card
  • Linux drivers are available via Betavine project, and Ubuntu can support direct
  • £15 per gigabyte, almost no strings attached!
  • Roaming reportedly now available
Bad points:
  • Not the cheapest per gigabyte, or the (theoretical) fastest
  • Windows drivers may request a .NET update, which will chip a few pence off the balance
  • BEWARE: New sticks have a pointlessly restrictive top-up policy, check the terms!

Rabbids Go Home from Tesco Direct
Good fun while it lasts, but really not enough to keep the interest once the story is complete compared with say Super Mario Galaxy or Lego Star Wars. Having been beaten into submission by Rayman in the previous games in the series, in this game you control the eponymous Rabbids as they try to build a tower of human junk to get to the Moon. This junk is found across about 40 different levels, each of which obviously has its challenges, obstacles and hazards as the anti-heroes steer their shopping trolley to collect it. The game is in a third person 3D and uses the remote/nunchuk combination.
Good points:
  • Madcap and often politically incorrect play
  • Funny cut scenes, voice-overs etc (though do wear a little thin after a while)
  • Quite compulsive for trying to get best score (out of 1000) on each level
Bad points:
  • A bit repetitive
  • Not enough challenge as the levels progress (just more of the same baddies, really)
  • Once the story is complete, that seems to be it - i.e. no bonus features of any great value
  • Two-player mode unresponsive and makes it too easy

We got this to replace our MP130 which finally gave up the ghost. Had been quite pleased with Canon as a printer brand so no qualms about buying the most obvious successor. It's actually a bit more basic though, with no card reader built in and only an LED digit rather than an alphanumeric display. Print quality seems about as good (although with occasional alignment glitches) and it uses pigment inks for richer colours. Note that it is not compatible with the MP130 cartridges, returning to using cartridges with a built-in print head rather than ink tanks - but this does not make the ink as expensive as might be feared.
Good points:
  • Cheap to buy
  • Ink not too ridiculously expensive (and Tesco sell compatible cartridges at a good price if you dare)
  • Photocopier is a useful function
  • Driver software has some useful scanning features in particular
Bad points:
  • Very bare bones functionality
  • Print head has a tendency to catch the corner of lighter grades of paper, depositing an ink smear
  • Paper feeder still a bit naff (as on MP130)
  • Scanner bed still not level (as on MP130)

BT's phones are made by lots of different manufacturers, so don't assume that if you've had a bad one before, you'll get another bad one - or that good experience in the past will necessarily be repeated. Ultimately this is a pretty cheap phone, and it does show in a few places, but it does work, it's physically well made, the ringtones are actually OK (well one or two of them) and the phone-book isn't entirely insane.
Good points:
  • Has something approximating to a "ring ring" tone (unlike most competitors)
  • Nice blue backlit display
  • Big chunky (though not illuminated) buttons
  • Phone book is alphabetic and has a SIM-card import function
Bad points:
  • Caller-display a little temperamental (though better if "first ring" option enabled)
  • Not the best phone out there for background noise
  • Text on display could be a little bigger
  • Arbitrary restrictions on characters available to enter in phone-book

Panasonic's reputation for cordless phones is excellent, however this one does them no favours. It looks and feels great, but the beauty is skin deep. We took ours back, the nail in the coffin being the dreadful phone-book, which appears to have no way of sorting contacts once added (e.g. alphabetically) - so whoever you add first will always be top of the list, and limited to nine characters at that, which by the time 'mob' is included if need be really doesn't leave space for anything meaningful anyway. The ring-tones are grim, a combination of painful trills and tuneless dirges - and nothing really quite like a conventional 'ring-ring'. Why is it that £20 can get a really quite sophisticated and usable brand-name mobile phone, but only a pile of junk home one?
Good points:
  • Good look and feel
  • Backlit display
Bad points:
  • Phone-book does not appear to allow re-sorting
  • Names of phone-book contacts are limited to 9 characters
  • Ring-tones are dire
