Ideal for Locomotive Tanks.
I haven't received my purchase yet, but should be good to lay inside the side tanks of my Jinty Tank Loco, rather than having to make diddly little filter covers over the outlets.

A great, well made phone.
4 of 4 found this helpful These are well made phones with a very good battery life and Business batteries are available to extend the life further.
Screen resolution is ok and the Camera is 3MP so quality is pretty good, although you may need a Memory card to store extra pictures and the Video recording is not the best, but a good no fuss phone and it does have 3G Internet, which is still rare for Candy Bar type phones, although no WiFi.
But the Internet is fine for light browsing and I have even managed to compress DVD's onto the phone and watch 2 Hour Movies on it, as the CPU is 450mhz, but you will need to compress the DVD on a PC and transfer to the phone, but it does work!
Easy to use Nokia Interface and the keys are nice and tactile and good build quality to the case etc.
Has Calendar functions and nnotes etc, with the ability to store on the Micro Card, so can make a fairly good business tool.
Has Radio and MP3 capability and Multimedia capability.

AMD Athlon 2500XP (Barton Core) Processor
I have allways wanted one of these Athlon 2500 Xp Barton Core Processors, since they came out, as there was much advertising at the time about how the extra built in Memory Cache would help to speed up certain calculations that a CPU has to perform.
As with most Computers, as today, this was based on the capability of the machine at being able to play games, although of course, having a good Graphics Card is equally important. However, as with all things, it depends what Computer is going to be used for.
I bought my Athlon 2500 recently, as I was building an "In-expensive" Computer, just to use for Internet Surfing, Word Pro, Recording/Storing Music/Photos etc, as I am not really interested in games, so thought this would be the ideal processor, as the extra Cache helps with general number crunching.
Ended up spending more than intended on the various parts, as the Motherboard I bought, ended up faulty, but have bought a "New" Asrock K7SGX1 from RL Supplies and added 1GB of RAM plus this CPU and I am happy with the performance.
As I have built what might be considered to be an "Obselete" System, I was not worried about any Games performance, as modern machines tend to need more and more Computing/Graphics power anyway, but with my 7300GT AGP Card in place, teamed up with the 2500 Athlon, enables me to play some of the older titles, but again, as with all computers, it depends on what you are going to use them for, as they are a "Tool" and therefore should be used as such.
I will try doing some Photo restoring and Video Editing with this setup, as the Extra Cache may help with the processing of large, complex files, but to be honest, I have no intention of Overclocking the CPU to gain any extra horsepower out of it, as I would rather have a stable reliable machine, to do my bits and pieces on and to be honest, I dont think there would be anything on a modern machine, that would be of benefit to me, at the moment, save perhaps more processing power for certain software titles, although to be honest, apart from games, I dont think there would be too many demands on my System.
I havent looked at the System requirements recently, for up to date "Multimedia" Software titles, but can probably hazzard a guess, that even a machine of 3-4 years old, can probably handle it ok.
I notice that a lot of Charities, that take in Old Computers, have specified a minimum requirement of a Pentium 3 750MHZ CPU, as something that would be capable of doing something worth while, so my "elderly" machine is a positive "Rocket" and more than capable of doing what I need.
So all in all, if you cannot afford an Athlon 3200 XP CPU, as the prices have rocketed and dont have SEmpron support on your Sockety A Motherboard (Mine does) then why not try a Barton Core 2500XP?
Saying that, if you have "Mobile" support on your MOBO, then some of the Mobile 1500 XP CPUs have great Overclocking potential, for a cheap outlay, but as I said earlier, I am more than happy with the 2500 Athlon, as it does what it says on the Tin!
Doesnt get too hot either, around 42C most of the time, although I am not going to put it through a "Burn" test, although it will be fine.
I paid £25.00 for it and the Guy even delivered it to me at work, as he lived nearby! So very pleased with my purchase and do not have any intention of upgrading my computer, for quite a while yet.
PS, the Woolwich Building Society were still using 386 Computers till 1998, as I asked!
