Entertaining Game, ideal for the younger Wii gamers

I bought this for my 6 year old son after he played it at a friends house and said he'd like to have it for himself. The game has a lot of variations to it with a lot of different events built into it and a good choice of characters to play as or against. Graphically it is OK, perfectly playable but not really up to to the graphics quality you get on other Wii games. I got it at a very good price on eBay and I'm happy with the purchase, the condition of the disk and case was "as new", and it is working perfectly. The game is good for he kids but not really gripping enough to keep older players engrossed in it for too long.

Blakberry Bold 9700

I switched to the Bold from a touch screen phone! I wanted to go back to a handset that had a key pad. I haven't looked back since. This phone surpassed my expectations. It is very easy to use, the screen is excellent and the keypad, although small is easy to use with very few typing mistakes. To get the most from the phone you do need to be prepared to sign up to your providers Blackberry services, without them you are not benefiting from the full range of capabilities the phone has. The battery life is superb and the ability to increase the memory with an additional memory card means you can load the phone up with music, pictures, videos and more. Bad points - well to be honest there aren't really any serious issues for me, the camera is not great but I didn't get it for it's camera. The only other issue for me was transferring my contacts from my old phone! I thought I could send them all via bluetooth but the Blackberry didn't allow it and I had to use the desktop manager software to sync from my Outlook contacts, not really a show stopper but would have been good if it worked. This handset came with a sleeve type case which locks the phone as you put it into the case which is a great little innovation as I was always leaving my phone unlocked then making rogue calls from my pocket. Another good feature is the Blackberry software updates, if you subscribe via their website you will be emailed when new versions are released so you can down load them. The upgrades are easy to do via the desktop manager software. You can also synch music from iTunes or Windows Media, again via the desktop application. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a smart phone but who wants to avoid jumping on the iPhone bandwagon. I just wish I'd gone for a blackberry much sooner, I am very pleased with mine and do not have any desire to get anything else.
