Review title: Beware the time stamp Product review: EDIT: I purchased this from CCM Accessories. But the time stamp question is probably a good one for all retailers.Purchased the first of these on 11/12/10 for a trusty v325i. I was chagrined to find the time stamp said 12/07, so the battery was nearly three years old, and unlikely to fully charge. I called them about this and was convinced to try a "3 cycle" charge of 8 hour increments. The battery never had more than 70 minutes talk time, so I asked to swap...was told they had a newer lot in, from 2009. Did the exchange, and the next battery had a time stamp of 12/07.At least their returns department is prompt.If you want to call before ordering and find the age of the lot, that's your best bet. Otherwise forget it.

Review title: HORRIBLE Product Design Product review: I just assembled this product. The plastic hinges nearly broke off during installation, it is very cheaply made. But that's not the worst part... the product is designed to make a really loud noise every time you close the lid. It is incredibly loud, sure to make your baby cry every time you close it. I laughed out loud when I realized that it was actually not defective but designed that way. It's almost as if the product designers put this thing together on April Fool's day as a practical joke.

Review title: Totally Captivated Product review: I loved the book and could not put it down. I am an Adult and the characters and story held me captive till I finished reading it. I had to go on to Book 2 and also finished that as well and anxiously await the third book's release. I am not a professional critic and I read some of the other reviews. All I can say is that both my husband and myself found this book very entertaining and will continue to read this saga. The Author did an excellent job for one so young and I have nothing bad to say at all. I give it 5 stars !!

Review title: Not what it says it is Product review: I bought this because of the brand name and the commercials for it I saw on t.v..I was very excited to buy it to help my son while he was taking his first few steps: But it is the most non-walking friendly toy for a beginner walker to even use! The wheels are to slippery, when he trys to push it it just slides or falls over because it is too top heavy, and the walk space for my babies feet is too awkward..as a ride-one it is just too low to the floor for my son.He has used it only to push the levers and play hide and seek w/other toys in the trunk compartment of it...I am really upset about the money I spent on this product..
