An Understated Smartphone That Delivers Everthing You Want & More!!
I first had an N8 in march last year and loved it. It is simple to use, packed full of features. Takes amazing pictures and video and had good battery life. Unfortunately its not waterproof as I found out when I dropped it in the bath!!! I replaced it with a Samsung Galaxy S2 which is a good phone in its own right but to me it simply does not compare to the N8. Battery life on the S2 is worse than bad!!! Camera is slow and impossible to take a clear image if the object is moving. I swiftly replaced it with a nearly new N8 and since the Symbian Belle update things are even better!! On average with moderate use I can go 3 days without charging and the interface is much smoother. The screen is brilliant and clear and benefits such as HDMI out and direct USB connection of flash drives and HDD's makes this the number 1 smartphone. I would choose the N8 over anything else available. With the MicroSD slot to up the storage to a possible 48GB (Like mine is with the 32GB SD card) you will never run out of space for Apps, Games, Music, Pictures and 720p HD Videos. To recap, although the Video recording is only 720p don't let this put you off. Videos are crisp and clear and feature Dolby sound. A top quality smartphone that sticks 2 fingers up at the iPhone in many areas. Give it a try, at bargain prices you cannot go wrong.

Its ok but its no Xbox alternative.
I bought one as an addition to my Xbox360. The PS3 is a good console. Great graphics and the Blu-Ray is a good bonus. Online is poor. Playstation Store is very poor and overpriced. Playstation Plus is good as you get free games. Controllers do not fit comfortably in the hand. Unit is not as quiet as people make out. Its an OK product at a slightly overinflated price. Not a serious gamers choice at all really. Serious gamers should checkout the Xbox360 S.

Excellent Gaming CPU
5 of 5 found this helpful When building a gaming PC for the best possible price I found myself researching CPU's a lot! For me the decision to go intel was a no brainer as I have had AMD before and not been impressed. I was looking at latest generation i5 CPU's and being put right off by the high price. I then sat back and assessed my needs. I want to game, I want to game at 1080p 60fps, I want nice details! After researching with these requirements I was willing to sacrifice a few fps for price and generation. I chose the i5 because I wanted 4 cores. I chose the 2500k because I can overclock it if I want to. I also chose the i5 2500k because it was £70. Now, coupled with 8gb ram and a GTX 970 I have a stonking gaming PC that will out perform any console and gives me full HD gaming at 60FPS and above. GTA V will run on very high settings between 65 and 87 FPS. Not bad for a £400 gaming rig! (That's motherboard, ram, cpu, gpu, psu and case!)
