1	VERY LOW SODIUM	I was not quite sure what to expect when I ordered this soup. I was totally IMPRESSED by the texture and taste. I had never eaten "cream of muchroom soup". For a low sodium product it is great. The ENTIRE can 10-1/2 ounces has only 60-mgs of sodium. The entire can. You can not beat this. I was so impressed, after eating the entire can, I immediately ordered two more casee. If you have high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease, congestive heart failure, or any health problems that you need to watch your SODIUM intake, please try this soup. You may also use it as the base in recipes.	positive
1	Low Sodium Cream of Mushroom on Subscribe & Save!	Campbell's Cream of Mushroom--what's not to love! It's a staple in the kitchen with so many uses. I really don't like using off brands of Cream of Mushroom because there really is a difference in taste, texture, and sight! I signed up for the Subscribe and Save Program to have home delivery. (You can manipulate the delivery date for your next shipment if you haven't used all 12 by the time the next delivery rolls around.) With the 15% discount, I ended up paying less than what I would pay at the grocery store. What a great deal! I'm trying to be better about my dietary intake which is why I ordered the lower sodium product. I can't tell a discernable difference between this and regular Cream of Mushroom.	positive
0	Blah, dented	Unlike the regular Campbell's Mushroom Soup, this has very little flavor. 4 cans are so badly dented that they may be unsafe to use, remaining 8 cans were also dented. Outside box has no damage, so the cans were apparently dented prior to shipment. Cancelling subscription to this disappointing purchase.	negative
0	Inedible	Both my wife and I are fans of Campbell's regular Cream of Mushroom.However, ... THIS IS ATROCIOUS!! ... almost NAUSEATING!!	negative
1	This is Great	If you are restricted to low sodium diet because of health reasons, this is the item for you. I didn't realize how many of my favorite receipes called for Cream of Mushroom Soup. Those favorites went out the window for years until I recently discovered this item. If you haven't been on a low sodium diet and think this would be great to get lower sodium, might I suggest the reduced sodium for you. But for my friends who are on low sodium diet, this is great. I am stocking up with a number of cases because you won't find it at Walmart, though you can get it online at a higher price.	positive
1	Perfect & Beautiful	Perfect topper for my Celtic trinity knot themed wedding! It feels like good porcelain and I can't wait to see it at the top of my cake!	positive
1	Sumptuous and Substantial	No doubt about it, "Design and Color" is a rare and true feast for the eyes. Better yet, it's not just pretty pictures; it is also a surprisingly informative and well-written survey of the art of tile-making in (primarily Central) Asia. I can safely call it my favorite art book.	positive
0	Mine arrived damaged and Amazon would not take them back	I am editing my original 5 start review of this product. I ordered my 2nd jar a few weeks ago. When it arrived, I noticed that the product looked powdery and clumped. I decided to pour the entire container into a large bowl, and the entire jar was that way! It was clumped up and when I tried to break it up, it just became a powdery mess. Clearly this order was damaged, but Amazon would not take it back. What a waste of money. I ended up throwing the entire jar away.	negative
1	Not optional despite what you might hear...	If you're installing a bulldog security remote starter (or really any remote starter for that matter) I can't stress enough that this should be a manditory purchase for you! This unit saved me at least 8 hours of wire splicing hooking my bulldog 500 up to a 2002 Malibu. The unit can be adapted by cutting off the plugs that go to the starter and splicing wires. This way you don't have to screw with your vehicles harness.Go to bulldog security's website to determine which harness fits your needs. Once you have the correct harness number (this one was GM-6) search for it! Well worth the $20 I paid for it!	positive
0	I was sent the wrong T-Harness.......	I was sent the wrong T-Harness. Either I ordered the wrong one or was sent the wrong by mistake. Exchanged it for the correct one.	negative
1	Sign Language VHS lessons for my kids...	This is a great learning tool for learning sign language. However the voice and the terminology the instructor uses is pretty humorous, my entire family were enthused to to participate and learn the alphabet signs with ease. The instructor takes you step by step through each lesson and encourages you to practice everyday independently. The book that you purchase separately was not useful.	positive
0	Save your money	I just got done watching "In The City" Amsterdam.I rented it along with in the city Berlin.First off you have to go threw several menus and click on each sub group.Each sub group is about two - four mintues long.If you could watch the dvd start to finish it may be enjoyable.There is just to much hassle to watch this travel video.The tag for this dvd series "For the traveler that likes to go off the beaten path" There is nothing new in this video and you learn no inside secrets.It seems like they got a copy of Frommers and film the sites in the book. Oh Yeah for the college age type you will not learn anything Wink Wink about Coffehouses!	negative
1	the best stephen king book ever	I have always loved the movie the shining but have never actually read the book, so i decided to get the book to read and it was well worth it.	positive
1	Important tool for survival and understanding	Bipolar disorder is misunderstood by many and difficult to diagnose. Many of us living with a close friend or loved one with this disease find ourselves trying to escape hell without abandoning the individual altogether. Marlee's book gives insightful tools for coping with and understanding elements of this disease. Bipolar is not just someone flying off a building or crying for weeks on end. It is often the disease of verbal abusers, and until this disease is better treated and understood, we will contintue to abuse and be abused. Marlee gives us a path to enlightenment.	positive
1	The New Knighthood: History of the Templars	A very detailed account of the Knights Templar. Difficult to follow if you are NOT familar with the names of some of the cities.	positive
0	Not the same rug as pictured	Love this rug BUT the rug I received isn't the same as pictured. It is a much darker green with a lot of black and a different border. They offered that I could return it...but I would pay shipping. Spectrumrugs say the item # is the same and I'm sure it is but the manufacturer/importer has obviously substituted a different rug but didn't change the picture. I have filed a claim with Amazon.	negative
1	Philpin does it again...	Nobody gets inside a killer's mind the way John Philpin does. I've read all his books, and this one ranks among my favorites. There's an abundance of thrillers on the shelves these days, but if you like excellent writing to along with your chills and thrills, dive into this one. Or any other book by this author.	positive
1	What a read!	If you read this book and miss the message, read it again. The problem is yours. Lucas Frank doesn't want to deal with the horrible acts we commit on each other anymore. Felix Zrbny grew tired of them too. Dr. Frank has the skills to catch killers. Felix was only 14 years old! How do we cope with a world that is fed to us on TV? How do we live in a world where patriotism isn't service to country but being a good consumer? This book asks important questions and thank God gives some answers.	positive
0	The Murder Channel	Thsi has been the most difficult book to follow I have ever read, and believe me I've read many. The back and forth between the reporter, the psychologist and the criminal makes for need of a score card. Normally when I read a good book, I go and purchase all other books by the author, in this case I would be afraid. If his other writings are remotely like this one, I wish to steer clear.	negative
0	Waste of my money	BUYER BEWARE 5/11/11 This is an update to my original review. IF YOU DECIDE TO WRITE A TRUTHFUL REVIEW HOW HORRIBLE THIS BOOK IS, THE AUTHOR WILL WRITE NASTY THINGS ABOUT YOU WHICH TRULY SHOWS HOW MUCH THE AUTHOR CARES ABOUT HER IMAGE RATHER THAN THE ACTUAL BOOK CONTENT. WRITE A BETTER BOOK IF YOU DON'T LIKE CRITICISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Original review:I purchased this book for class, not by choice. This book sucks!!!!!! I can't follow it AT ALL. The examples it gives in the chapters are not clear. For example, it doesnt tell you "..we want mL/hr at the end" i actualyl don't know what it wants!!!!!! Don't buy it. I've only opened this book twice, and I'm already trying to get rid of it.	negative
1	Fantastic!	I am very pleased with my purchase! The book is brand new, wrapped and the CD is included and the package has never been opened! I saved money by ordering from this seller on Amazon opposed to buying it at my school's bookstore. I am impressed with the amount of time it took for my package to arrive, especially considering it's the week before Christmas!! Only a couple of business days:)	positive
0	This is the old 1999 version, not recent 2005 version!	This listing is for the old 1999 version v.1 made in 1998.It only works on Windows 98 and ME, not XP and newer!The version 2.0 made in 2005 not only works with Windows XP but also has much more sheet music and loads faster and easier to use interface. It also contains biographical and analytical information that is not in v 1.0.Amazon has version 2.0 hereMozart: Complete Works For Piano (9x12) With CD	negative

1	Chunky Puzzle Success	My son (16 months old) received this puzzle as a Christmas gift. So far he has really enjoyed the big chunky pieces which are easy for him to grab and move around. Great quality toy!	positive
1	It was a huge hit!	Our 18 month old grandson loves playing with the "saurs" as a puzzle and as individual pieces. Recommend purchase & have already looked at more Melissa & Doug products.	positive
1	so colorful!	The puzzle is so colorful and fun looking! If I were a kid I'd be all over it. It works perfectly for the dinosaur themed birthday we're having too.	positive
1	Cute Puzzle	2 yr old that doesnt like puzzles in general likes this really well. He does have a habit of packing around the dinos themselves and playing with them separately, but hey, for the money, it's still a great idea! LOL**Note: we bought a standard puzzle rack by the same Company and this puzzle does NOT fit in that rack at all. None of the "Chunky Puzzles" would fit it, and that was not noted on this puzzle OR on the rack itself. :(	positive
1	Loved this Puzzle	my son is 22 months and love this puzzle along with the 12 other puzzle we have for him.. took a long time to ship.	positive
1	Perfect under $10 gift!	As a daycare provider/teacher I love buying educational gifts that kids love and can enjoy over and over! This is it. Perfect for 18 month +.	positive
1	Great for a kid who really loves dinos!	My son has loved playing with this puzzle. He knows the names of each of the dinosaurs and announces each one as he takes the pieces out and then puts them back in. It's easy enough for a young child to do, but still offers some educational value if your kid is really into dinos.	positive
1	BRILLIANT MUSIC	My friend gave me this cd and i loved it, then i got to see them live and the love grew into something much larger. Last AmAndA is the best live band i've ever seen. Listen to this cd and you'll understand why I highly, highly reccomend it, and once you've done that, go see them live.	positive
0	disappointed	Watch appears being tampered with already. Saw one fingerprint on the glass of the watch. Bottom of watch also saw a spot filled with dust in which an orginal sticker was supposed to be sitting at.....	negative
1	A Must Have Book	This book is excellent for top-of-the-line Bakelite. The pieces you see in this book are the best examples of Bakelite and are rarely found in today's market - the collectors already have them. But it's good to see 'the best' so you will know what to look for when shopping for Bakelite - sometimes you find a rare piece. I was lucky to buy a few of these pieces from a collector who was selling. I bought what I could afford and have been wearing them since. I started buying a few pieces at the flea mart at reasonable prices but soon I wanted the better ones, that was 20 years ago and I'm still wearing them and enjoying them. The best thing about Bakelite jewelry is you can wear and enjoy your collection. Don't hesitate to buy this book, it's the best one out there and I have them all. The more knowledge you have the better you will be when finding good pieces. Good Luck and have fun collecting.	positive
0	Too much jewelry not enough prices	I bought this book to learn about Bakelite, to get an idea of prices and for bakelite other than jewelry. If you are looking for a book with a lot of pretty color pictures of jewelry, this book is for you. For my needs, there was only 4 pages that I found useful.	negative
1	Sounds like my family	The latest installment in the Molly Masters series is charming and full of family moments that ring true to life. The mystery itself, which centers around the death of the seemingly perfect PTA president, is typical of the genre. Although entertaining enough, it certainly didn't overwhelm my imagination. Molly's encounters with her family, however, were brilliant. Her exchanges with her 16-year old daughter Karen, who is learning to drive and beginning to date, were a wonderful mixture of humor and angst. Even more touching was her discussion with her son, Nathan, who is being harassed by bullies at school. Overall, I definitely recommend this book to readers of the series!	positive
0	Getting Silly	This once charming series is starting to lose its steam.Molly has turned into nothing more than a nosy, annoying pain in the .... She sticks her nose into situations that have nothing to do with her, and doesn't seem to think the police can manage to do their jobs withour her "tactful nudging" in the right direction. The fact that Tommy allows her to keep intruding into his investigations is just getting silly already -- almost as silly as her constantly teaming up with Stephanie and taking her orders, when she can't stand this woman.It's time to put this series to bed before it turns to plain God-awful.	negative
1	Sensational pianistic fireworks	Ivory Classics are now releasing a series of the veteran American piano virtuoso Earl Wild's recordings, upon which his reputation as a super-virtuoso rests. These superbly refurbished recordings date from the 1960s to 1980s and mostly capture Wild at his technical and interpretative best. Take the fiendish Liszt Mephisto Waltz No. 1 for example. Even in the light of Wild's three other recordings of this piece, and other famous ones from Kapell, Horowitz, and Cziffra, this version is a spine-tingling diabolic ride at a staggering basic tempo. Other high-lights include Liszt's Grand Galop Chromatique (better balanced and controlled than Cziffra's), Gnomenreigen, and a stunning Dohnanyi pairing. Many other adventures await the listener - snap these discs up, a bargain at the price.	positive
1	The Late Earl Wild: Virtuoso Pianist	These two disc show what a wonderful pianist Earl Wild was. They cover a wide range of virtuoso piano works he plays with consummate ease. A terrific set for those who like romantic piano muisic	positive
1	Too much sameness	I think he is brilliant...always have. But there was just too much Lizst! I don't like him. Too much busy-ness. I would have liked a little Rachmaninov, Chopin, Brahms---something to counter all that Lizstian virtuosity. Too much sameness in other words.	positive
1	Perfect straight edge for very little money	This straight edge was perfect for what I needed. I was redoing a top end of an engine and needed to check the major components for true. This worked perfectly for that purpose. Comes in a robust cardboard sleeve with a plastic slip on protective sleeve to ensure the machined surface doesn't become damaged.I keep mine oiled up and have had no problems!Thanks,Corey	positive
1	Excellent for the Price	I purchased this item to check for warping on my engine's cylinder heads. Sure enough, I was able to identify warped heads quickly and easily. After being returned from the machine shop, I could verify the heads were true with this straight edge. This gives me confidence that the straight-edge itself is straight. The plastic sleeve that covers the machined edge is a nice touch and keeps the edge oiled to prevent corrosion. For the money, this is an excellent product.	positive
1	Wonderful!	I only have 20 pages left to read, but I had to let people know my opinion of the book. This book was wonderful. I could not put it down and hate the fact that I am so close to the end, but have to work! I think the author did a wonderful job, especially with creating the feelings of Faith in finding out she had been transported back in time and also of Miles' feelings when told she was from the future. The story has kept me on the edge of my seat, not wanting to sleep or eat because I would have to put it down. She did a wonderful job. This is definitely a keeper and I eagerly look forward to her next book.	positive
1	Uneven collection but "Failure" worth the price alone	If this collection just contained "Failure Is Not An Option," I would unhesitatingly give it five stars. Gene Kranz's personal retelling of the space race provides enthralling insight into what went on behind the scenes, what life was like in Mission Control, and how decisions were made.Unfortunately, the remaining items in the set aren't of the same caliber. "Project Orion" is decent coverage of a bizarre effort to use exploding atomic bombs to propel spacecraft. "Space Shuttle" is nothing special, and if you want to see a good documentary about "Apollo 13", get PBS's "Apollo 13: To the Edge and Back", not this one.That being said, "Failure" is worth the price of the set all by itself. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in how we got men to the Moon.	positive
1	Quick Delivery	Have not watched yet. Can't describe it until after it has been viewed. i will update at some later date.	positive
1	Great Read	A very effective survey of the Native tribes in America from before the whites until present times. The book provided a lot of information regarding the legal fights of the tribes over times, which I found to be very interesting. This includes governmental policies, including the gaming issues. Also, how the tribes have hung onto their culture and identity, which was equally interesting. It was interesting to read of hte mascot issue at the end of the book as well, due to the current issues dealing with them.Calloway also includes many legal documents which give a greater insight to the happenings of the time. These documents also help to see the issues from both points of view, native and white.	positive
1	what they didnt teach us in grade school	I'm taking a Native American History and Culture survey course as part of my general education requirements for my degree. This text is definitely well written and organized. I am a science major so am used to reading science texts. "First Peoples" is definitely easy and enjoyable reading compared to science texts; I wont be selling this textbook after the course ends. And of course, with my Prime membership, the book arrived just in time for class.	positive
1	Outstanding	This is one of the best history textbooks I have ever read, and trust me, I've read the entire thing. As a history minor, I needed a couple more American history classes and so I decided that since I did not know a lot about Native American history, it would be an interesting class to take. Calloway's book is extremely informative and interesting. The book is laid out in a direct manner and includes pictures and selections from documents and essays along with the regular text. In my class, we had two textbooks, three books from the native perspective, and two books discussing Native American leaders and this one was the best. I think that although it is a bit big (or maybe it just was for me since I had to read so many other books as well) it keeps your interest from the first page to the last. I would definitely recommend this to history teachers and to anyone who wishes to gain insight into the world of Native Americans.	positive
1	Bought it for a class, read it for fun.	I had a history class about the European colonists who made America one semester. The following semester, I had an anthropology course about Native Americans that used this book to tell the same story from the other point of view. Very interesting. If you are at all interested in cultural heritage, sociology, anthropology, colonial America, or Native Americans, then you NEED to read this book.	positive

1	Some of the best folk you can find.	Jason Harrod is one of the best singer-songwriters around. Check out his other work with Brian Funck. Harrod and Funck put out some of the most soulful, moving music I've ever heard.	positive
1	Amazing and wonderful	For the record, I am a Paris Combo fan. I had to order this album from Amazon.fr in order to take quick delivery, but am I glad I did. The band is in typical form, which is to say: totally in command. Motifs will be familiar to those who know the band's other works, but it references new influences that we've not heard before. Specifically, the track Aquarium has distinct influences of Bossanova (read: Jobim). This new album has a dreamy, fluid quality that will suck you right in. Amazing and wonderful.	positive
1	school	This book was a purchase for school, however working for a non-profit it has become very useful for the organization I work for as well as my class	positive
0	Stickers peel off	I got this 'puzzle' as a hand-me-down from my sister. A few of the animals have peeled off their blocks. Granted, I dont really know what the puzzle went through before it reached us, but I am still dissapointed in the quality. I dont think the animal images should be able to come off.	negative
1	Greatest M&D for young children	This is a great wooden toy that works well for travel or at home. I love that it has no detachable pieces! I bought it for my 2 year old son, who is just beginning to want to play with it, but my 4 1/2 year old daughter likes to play with it too. I also have the vehicle maze puzzle and they like it just the same.	positive
1	Excellent service!	This item arrived the NEXT DAY after ordering. Cost was a fraction of what was available from local heating contractors. It came with all installation options and repair was made in 20 minutes with free labor - ours!Excellent replacement item, we couldn't be happier.	positive
0	The Last Days of World War II (History Channel)	The Last Days of World War II (History Channel)the second disk you can not hear spoken wordsthe voice fades in and out	negative
0	L:ast days of a desperate producer	With all the interesting lightly explored topics of World War II why waste time on might-have-beens of low probability? This was as bad a production as I have ever seen from the history channel. The title was misleading - I expected people cleaning their files, perhaps something on the "Imperial Conspiracy" or the impact of the end of the war on the colonial people, but not this trash.	negative
0	Worst phone I had so far	it's the worst cell phone I had to date.1 this phone has 1 to 2 second delay when buttons are pressed.2 because of slow button key I kept doing and unding key lock/unlock several times to actually call anyone.3. battery life is only about 48hrs (standby) and defintly not 200 some minutes as what this phone's spec says.4. phonebook is pretty messedup. phone book name displys only first half of first line, although it allows you to enter two lines.5. on/off button some times takes second try.6. it's not straight forward to save work/home/mobile... under one name.7. phone charger connection is so flimsy that in certain position it won't charge. design is pretty messed up.8. 1/8" of color lcd screen is already dying only after 5 month of useage.9. signal is very poor. I'm sure this lot more to do with Tmobile.Basically slow and unintuitive phone.Bright side of all this is that Tmobile contact is only for one year.	negative
0	Fragile - Handle with care	Worked fine for one month and hence am giving 1 star to it. Dropped it once on floor. Since then the microphone stopped working intermittently. Contacted tmobile, they told that they sent another piece, and never got one.And tmobile: I moved from Texas to Boston. Most of the times its out of coverage. Even in busiest business areas, it hardly shows one line.So my suggestion: If you don't maintain a belt pouch for this phone, donot buy, coz once you drop it, you might end up 'NOT BEING HEARD', and if you are in Boston area, don't think about tmobile.	negative
1	Actually 3.5 star is the right score	Pros:1. Compact in Size;2. eye-ball-absorber design;3. Good bluetooth connection (w/ HS820 headset);4. Convinient input keyboard;5. The screen is clear enough to show a vivid picture;Cons:1. battery is toooooo weak. A full charged battery can only last for one day (with normal amount of incoming and outgoing calls and without any other devices connected). A lot shorter than they claimed in the description (6 days in waiting mode)!2. A little bulky compared tp other camera phones(like samsung);3. The phonebook is a little different from all the other brands;4. System freezed up once when I input phone numbers with bluetooth device connected. I have to reset it by taking the battery out;5. No zoom function with the build-in camera; Can't observe the picture from front small screen when taking photos with the phone closed;6. No software; Just one Java game come with the unit. No choiceother than purchasing more on line.	positive
0	Neat gadget...useless phone	I initially liked this phone and had no complaints about it until it started to shut down whenever I would hit the end call button on the phone, right after I ended a call. I called T-Mobile to get another phone thinking that it may just have been a glitch in my original phone, but it isn't!! After complaining to T-Mobile again about the replacement phone, customer service informed me that it's a known problem with the phone and that there is nothing that they can do about it. So, I'm pretty much stuck with a useless phone! It doesn't matter what else the phone does, because it shuts off all the time without my knowledge. There has been dozens of times where I pull my phone out to use it and realize that it's shut off already. My family and friends are so annoyed at me because they say I never turn my phone on. What a piece of crap!! Don't buy it. Look for something else!!!!	negative
0	Good for texting, nothing else	This is a bad phone. It's slow, the interface is more complicated than sin, and the reception is bad (possibly because of T-mo, but anectdotal evidence suggests otherwise). It's excellent for tapping out text messages, which I do a lot of. I will not be buying another Motorola phone, unless they entirely revamp the interface. Especially the address book, which lists the phone numbers without telling you whether or not the numbers are for a cell, or home, or fax, or whatever. It's really annoying.Don't get this unless texting is your main thing, and the phone part is an afterthought. It wouldn't even get two stars except that the qwerty keyboard is excellent.	negative
0	Flashy but impractical	I knew when I ordered this phone it had undersized keys and a problematic bluetooth implementation. I did not realize that with the small size came less than adequate signal reception, a screen that is invisible outdoors, and a user interface with many problems. example: The phone features voice dialing. Good luck figuring out how to set up voice strings that the feature can use.This one is going back.	negative
0	Absolutely no software provided	Overall the phone is decent, with good speakerphone quality and is quite well summarized in all the other reviews. One thing however that surprises me and that no one has mentioned before is the fact that the phone does not have any accompanying software either on a CD or for download.So, if I have to move my 100+ contacts from my old Nokia 3650 to my new A630, I have to either punch it in manually or fork out atleast $30 for purchasing the software. I feel that it is total BS to have to fork another $30 for a phone that retails at $350 for getting functionality that is pretty standard on most other phones. (My 3650 had the software bundled for free.)I feel that this is appalling! Hence my relatively low rating! Guess, I have no other option but to fork over another $30 and get the stupid software.	negative
0	It suckz!	It looks cute but it's not a phone u would use everyday. The first time I got it, it wouldn't charge after just a week. I tried all the chargers we had and when we really couldn't charge the phone, we returned it to the dealer we got it from and they exchanged it because it was defective. After 6 months, now I'm having the same problem with charging it. The batt is dead and I can't even exhange it anymore. My other friends who has the same phone as me has the same problem with it too. I don't recommend it.	negative
1	great concept, barely acceptable execution	Amazon shipped me a defective phone, which T-Mobile willreplace (free of charge). I'm not too happy with that,first of all because T-Mobile will not guarantee that thereplacement is brand-new (it could be refurbished),secondly, why did I get a defective phone to begin with --where's the quality control?Playing around with the phone (it is partially functional),there's a bit of a "production prototype" feel to it, forexample the external keyboard moves around the case, likea millimiter or so in any direction you push it; the internalkeyboard is rather loud and creaky, it does not have anywherenear the "quality feel" as my old Blackberry.HOWEVER, I still have to give this phone 4 stars, becauseyou cannot find anything like it in the market, for thefeatures, weight, price, and size combination. It trulyhas no competition right now, so Motorola can get away withstuff they would not be able to if Nokia had a similar phoneout on the market.	positive
1	Fun Phone	I'm getting paid to get the phone so being free, this is a great phone. The phone is smaller than I expected, about the size of a small flip-phone. The text/AIM feature is the the reason this phone is fun. If your looking for a smart-phone, this is not for you as surfing can be a bit slow, get a blackberry. This cell is alot like the Motorola Two-Way's pager with a phone. The reception is OK, nothing special as is the battery. I haven't tried the bluetooth yet but have read from others that it doesn't do well with MAC's. All in all, i can't complain it's a great phone!	positive
0	Warranty? What warranty?	I had been very happy with my Motorola A630 until the battery started losing its charge within a day, even when the phone was turned off. The friendly but incompetent customer support kept me on the phone for an average of 40 minutes for the repeated calls trying to figure out the problem. After the phone had finally been sent to their technical service center, they returned it to me that the phone was irreperable "due to customer abuse." I have done nothing to that phone that could have caused any damage (unless using it to make phone calls counts as "customer abuse"), but got the same comment, without explanation after I had sent the phone in for a second time for reevaluation. It seems that Motorola is just trying to get out of fixing or replacing the phone free of charge under warranty. You'll be fine with a Motorola phone as long as it works. After that, you're on your own.	negative
0	Not worth the money or time	This phone is great for the first 6 months* The design of the phone is hard to beat!However, This is third phone T-mobile has sent me that WILL NOT CHARGE. The T-mobile store does not cell the phone anymoe and Motorola has not created a follow up phone. The phone is obviously defected.	negative
0	it's not all that !	I just received this phone a week ago, and I hate it. The battery life sucks, the keys are too slow, menus are confusing. It does look cool though. Oh yeah, the speakerphone doesn't work unless an optional equiptment is purchased.	negative
1	Simply the BEST^^	This phone is by far the most unique and functional phone I have ever own. yes, yes, yes, if you read other reviews, they will tell you it is not your mobile office, doesn't have software and blah,blah, blah. However, this phone is compact and cute, really comfortable keyboard, and very bright screen for indoor usage. This phone also comes with IM and SMS features, which fills up my apetite for chatting while I am outta the office. so to the people who have a beef with the excellent little phone, "WHAT^EVER"so IMHO (not I am Homer, its In My Humble Opinion), anyone who luvs an eye candy that packs with cool features will certainly enjoy this phone.-mo (excited to be the first to review my favorite phone)	positive
1	This phone is awsome!	I think this phone has a lot of cool features and capability. You can AIM friends, take and send pictures and surf the web from a cool computer like phoine. I rate this phone a 5!Anna	positive
0	Disturbing	Instead of ringing, this phone just sits silently on my desk and judges me.I don't need that.	negative
0	You can't hear the caller!	It's a really good looking phone in a good size.Major con:- You won't be able to hear the caller unless you use the speaker or hands-free!- There is a major error in the user manual that took me hours to find "Settings" of the phone.- The only availible holster is in leather - not very attractive.	negative
0	Incorrect product	This product is being marketed deceitfully. The CD inside the case is the wrong CD! The supplier that has sent this product out to various sites has made a total error. I have ordered this product from two sites, and both times found the wrong CD, by a different artist inside the case! Have to return both! Need the CD for a memorial service. What a disappointment! The artist needs to be informed of what is happening. He has a beautiful CD, but it is not enclosed in this case!	negative
1	Amazing Arthur	When I first read this book I had no clue it was about King Arthur, as a young boy or otherwise, because the copy at my library didn't proclaim in bold letters "A Tale of Young King Arthur." Not until the very end did it dawn on me that this wonderful book I was reading had anything at all to do with the legendary King Arthur I had already read so much about. But this book is not about King Arthur until the very end. For the most part it is about a boy named Artos and his trials and tribulations in growing up and meeting a dragon. This dragon teaches him things he would have no chance to learn anywhere else and balances out his life in a most peculiar way.	positive
0	The Dragon's boy	Artos, an orphan, housed since birth by sir Ector and Lady Marion. Artos is in many ways just like Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. Until one day when he must go out into the woods in search of Sir Ector's missing brachet hound. He enters a cave in hopes that the hound is within, but instead of a hound he finds an old, but very wise dragon. From the knowledge that the dragon gives Artos, he is able to befriend and become an equal to Cai, Bedvere and Lancot, three boys around his age but much higher in ranking, or so it seems.It is a well-written book, but I didn't really like the style it was written in, it is also a slow moving book, so if you like slow moving books this is a good book for you. She went into a lot of detail about stuff that never happens, like what would happen if the dragon ate him. It's an okay book if you have nothing better to read, but lots of detail, which is okay sometimes but not always.	negative
1	The Dragon Boy	I loved this book and it was so cool because I liked the dragon he was cool looking and his teeth are a little bit long and sharp. The book isn't scary at all and the boy meets the dragon in the begining of the book.The book is pretty cool. You should read it it's good. The three main characters are Mag, Sir Ector, and Artos. What I liked about this book was that they're is a dragon in it and a red diamond, and what I didn't like about this book was that all they did was talk about Mag, and Artos. The author is a very good writer. This book was very good you should read it.	positive
0	Disappointing arrangements	The good news is that Petula Clark sings wonderfully. She has a beautiful voice, and interprets the songs very well. The bad news is most of the arrangements are poor. It was disappointing more me to cringe in hearing songs I like and was looking forward to hearing her sing.	negative
0	Terrible	Of the 30+ business/motivational books I've read, this is by far the worst. Al Neuharth is someone I've always respected for being successful, especially when everyone doubted him, but his book is basically a bragging session. It gives no real advice, unless your a millionaire trying to make deals with Unions and the President. Definately pass on this one.	negative
0	Confessions of an S.O.B.	Talk about self-absorbed...I guess the ego and the love of self this man displays are essential to success in business...I thought the man made some good points, but few are helpful to anyone in the real world (or outside the newspaper business). Nausea sets in after the second chapter. Neuharth will die an old, lonely, rich man. Respected by many, hated by nearly all. Luckily, I didn't have to sit through this entire book. I put it down quickly.	negative
0	What a sad man	Mr. Neuharth is indeed a sad and cynical man. He equates 'elitism' with critical thinking and casts himself as a man of the people, just listening to their opinions via his polls and town meetings. And yet he talks of his fancy jets and other staples of his lavish and selfish lifestyle.	negative
0	Excellent music, but...	Buy the same exact EP online from the artist's record label (Sub Pop) for far less money than Amazon wants for it. What a rip-off!!!	negative
1	Beautiful	"Communion Cups and Someone's Coat" is actually my all-time favorite song, so buying this album was well worth it for me. Yes, $12 is a ridiculous price for 3 songs, but I believe another reviewer said it best when they said to buy it under the "New and Used" category. However you get and however much you pay, I think it's an excellent addition to any Iron & Wine collection.	positive
0	Not recommended	This is one of those books that I regret buying. Thought it would have at least a few nice fingerpicking music pieces that I could enjoy playing but I was wrong.	negative
0	Rather boring	James Silk Buckingham's Travels among the Arab Tribes Inhabiting the Countries East of Syria and Palestine: Including a Journey from Nazareth to the Mountains beyond the Dead is a tedious, travelogue written by a man who attempts to place far greater importance upon his journeys than they warrent. Often he makes claims of discovery to minor ruins that are without any historical merit or importance. Buckingham's wordy style soon becomes boring. Indeed, his book is both dull and insipid. As for his pandering to Lady Hester Stanhope the less said the better. Buckingham lacks the wit of Kinglake and there is little in this massive tome (700 plus pages), that was not already covered with far great aptitude by John Lewis Burckhardt.	negative
1	great to have it on CD, with some rare bonus tracks, but....	this is the way to issue a fairly obscure album on CD. The bonus tracks here were all B-sides to numerous Bruce Foxton 12" singles. The only let down...why oh WHY didn't they include the rare extended version of "It Makes Me Wonder" as one of the bonus tracks??? Looks like it will never make its way to CD!	positive
1	Best crochet instuctions/photos	I learned how to crochet by copying whatever my grandmother did (a slip knot, a foundation chain, a slip stitch a single & double crochet) but she never taught me the names of all these stitches or I was too young to remember. When she passed away I was lost trying to read a pattern by my self. This book was the answer to my prayer. The pictures follow the instructions really well & there are no missed steps with out a picture. My book is full of yellow stickys so that when I read a pattern I can go back to the stitch I am working on. It has also taught me to read instructions slowly instead of trying to figure out, one long, run on sentence. STOP at a coma & see what you're doing, before you proceed. Highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to start or has been discouraged by other books.	positive
0	Not very clear for the true novice	I have spent several hours trying to figure out what to do after I create the first basic "foundation chain," and this book is not very helpful for that. I found several explanations online that made more sense and went into more detail. The notation and terminology in this book is unclear for someone who has never crocheted before...the author uses "stitch" and "chain" interchangeably, for example.I think you could find better free guides online if you are a true novice. This book does has some nice patterns and examples, but you won't be able to get that far if you can't understand the very basic techniques.	negative
1	crochet basics	Very pleased to get this book which arrived in good order and was priced competitively. Your service is appreciated Thanks.	positive
1	excellent book	this book is in perfect condition. the pages are clean. instructions are complete, no pages torn out or smudged.	positive
1	We've all been there!	If you've ever been in a club where all the people were so busy getting trashed at the bars, and you were one of only a handful of people who came to the dance club to actually dance, then you cannot be without this techno masterpiece! It perfectly describes our frustration at the lounge lizards and bar scabs who have absolutely no interest in dancing at a dance club, just taking up space and getting wasted! It's fun, funny and a killer track to pump up ANY party that's off to a slow start . . . I guarantee if you play this song, your friends and others will get off their lazy cans and bust a move! A great club classic!	positive
0	Biggest dissapointment of '05 so far.....	I've had this album for a couple of months now, and I really wanted to hold my tongue because there aren't a lot of positive things to say about this release. O.G. Bobby Johnson suffers from too many wack guest appearances (not including the Camu Tao guest spot on "Lately"). Another big problem is these producers he dug up make some pretty weak beats. I normally like hearing different underdog producers but these guys haven't blown up for a very good reason, they're below average on the boards plain and simple. The only beats that are kinda dope are "P.P.P.", and the El Da sensei dis-a-thon "Toxic". I hate to say it, but even Tames word play sounds a bit stale here, he even recycles a couple of lines from When Rapper Attack. Personally I think he needs to put the sherm down, and go back to the drawing board because this is not worthy material from the guy who brought us Those Artifacts bangers back in the day, or the more recent Water World album.	negative
1	One little problem	I came on site to buy the book, which I intend to do. I borrowed it from the library because I found recipes in it for Christmas morning for the family. The egg and sauage breakfast casserole was great. The skier's toast gave me a little problem. Part of the recipe is a syrup out of karo, brown sugar and half and half which is placed in 13x9 pan,when I placed it in the dish mine turned into caramel..I made it again and put a little water in it and did not cook it that long. It worked this time. It was delicious. I got rave reviews from the family, but I still wonder about that receipe. What was my mistake? Or is something missing from it. Otherwise the book is great and I'm going to buy it right now.	positive
1	Some things Never Change Uncle Ted	What can I say ... some things never change ... the seasons, birth, death, taxes, and Ted Nugent. The self indulgent hunter/rocker is still going at it in his 60's ...and I swear, it seems some have made a pact with the devil because they stay forever young. Mick Jagger, Chuck Berry, Steven Tyler, Paul McCartney, and uncle Ted (at least in appearance). This concert focus' on a hometown show in Detroit, and Ted is in top form, playing most of his hits, and a few covers. He humbles himself as much as Ted can and pays homage to some of his hero's including the drummer from Mitch Ryder and the Detroit wheels (who has seemed to make a pact with the devil too), his original guitar teacher (no pact here), and the original singer who does a dynomite job on Stranglehold. You either love or hate Ted, I happen to love him...because he delivers...maybe he has a right to be self indulgent.	positive
0	Sound quality is terrible. Don't waste your money.	Just got this video. I'm a big Ted fan, I only live a little way from his home town, have seen him in concert several times. Upon playing this video, I could not even hear or understand the words being sung, Ted starts out singing, I guess, but you cannot understand what he is saying, his back-up singers can be heard better than him. Sound quality is terrible. The video jumps around from one view to another view very fast, a lot of the video is the audience which I could care less about. I only watched the first few songs and was so disappointed that I turned Ted off and probably won't play him again. Very disappointed Uncle Ted, you can do better than this. If you're going to buy a Ted video, take a chance on a different one, don't buy this one, it's terrible.	negative
0	His music is OK but he's one vulgar dude	OK, so I'm one of the few rockers who is offended by vulgar language. If you are not one of the other 7 rockers in the whole world who feels the same you might really like this show. I like several of Uncle Ted's songs, especially Hey Baby. All his best songs are featured in this show and the band does a respectable job on every one-- not a great job but pretty good... same for Ted himself. If he had just kept his dialogue rated PG13 I would not have thrown the disk in the trash. On the bright side, I've used the blu-ray box to replace a damaged one I had for a Bad Company disk.	negative
0	Terrible	Bad muscianship. Careless execution. So so sound and video. Why this guy is considered a rock 'star' is beyond me.	negative
0	Maxell Audio CDRs Now Poor Quality!	Buyer beware: this is no longer the same product. Maxell has recently changed their audio CDRs. Formally, they were manufactured in Japan; now they are made in Taiwan. All the older Maxell discs would play in EVERYTHING. However, a large percentage of discs in this new CDR media are defective. The new discs will no longer play in my Panasonic boom box or in my Honda car stereo. Worse, some of these CDs will fail to play in anything after a few days.	negative
0	The Newer Maxell are now Junk CD's	I used to buy these all the time. They were made in Japan and had a bluish dye to them, and when you held them up to the light, you couldn't see through them. I never had a bad burn.The newer ones are now made in Taiwan. They have a silver dye and are see-through when held up to the light. These CD's suck. Don't buy them.	negative

VERY LOW SODIUM

I was not quite sure what to expect when I ordered this soup. I was totally IMPRESSED by the texture and taste. I had never eaten "cream of muchroom soup". For a low sodium product it is great. The ENTIRE can 10-1/2 ounces has only 60-mgs of sodium. The entire can. You can not beat this. I was so impressed, after eating the entire can, I immediately ordered two more casee. If you have high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease, congestive heart failure, or any health problems that you need to watch your SODIUM intake, please try this soup. You may also use it as the base in recipes.

Low Sodium Cream of Mushroom on Subscribe & Save!

Campbell's Cream of Mushroom--what's not to love! It's a staple in the kitchen with so many uses. I really don't like using off brands of Cream of Mushroom because there really is a difference in taste, texture, and sight! I signed up for the Subscribe and Save Program to have home delivery. (You can manipulate the delivery date for your next shipment if you haven't used all 12 by the time the next delivery rolls around.) With the 15% discount, I ended up paying less than what I would pay at the grocery store. What a great deal! I'm trying to be better about my dietary intake which is why I ordered the lower sodium product. I can't tell a discernable difference between this and regular Cream of Mushroom.

Blah, dented

Unlike the regular Campbell's Mushroom Soup, this has very little flavor. 4 cans are so badly dented that they may be unsafe to use, remaining 8 cans were also dented. Outside box has no damage, so the cans were apparently dented prior to shipment. Cancelling subscription to this disappointing purchase.

This is Great

If you are restricted to low sodium diet because of health reasons, this is the item for you. I didn't realize how many of my favorite receipes called for Cream of Mushroom Soup. Those favorites went out the window for years until I recently discovered this item. If you haven't been on a low sodium diet and think this would be great to get lower sodium, might I suggest the reduced sodium for you. But for my friends who are on low sodium diet, this is great. I am stocking up with a number of cases because you won't find it at Walmart, though you can get it online at a higher price.

Mine arrived damaged and Amazon would not take them back

I am editing my original 5 start review of this product. I ordered my 2nd jar a few weeks ago. When it arrived, I noticed that the product looked powdery and clumped. I decided to pour the entire container into a large bowl, and the entire jar was that way! It was clumped up and when I tried to break it up, it just became a powdery mess. Clearly this order was damaged, but Amazon would not take it back. What a waste of money. I ended up throwing the entire jar away.

Not optional despite what you might hear...

If you're installing a bulldog security remote starter (or really any remote starter for that matter) I can't stress enough that this should be a manditory purchase for you! This unit saved me at least 8 hours of wire splicing hooking my bulldog 500 up to a 2002 Malibu. The unit can be adapted by cutting off the plugs that go to the starter and splicing wires. This way you don't have to screw with your vehicles harness.Go to bulldog security's website to determine which harness fits your needs. Once you have the correct harness number (this one was GM-6) search for it! Well worth the $20 I paid for it!

This is a great learning tool for learning sign language.

Important tool for survival and understanding

Bipolar disorder is misunderstood by many and difficult to diagnose. Many of us living with a close friend or loved one with this disease find ourselves trying to escape hell without abandoning the individual altogether. Marlee's book gives insightful tools for coping with and understanding elements of this disease. Bipolar is not just someone flying off a building or crying for weeks on end. It is often the disease of verbal abusers, and until this disease is better treated and understood, we will contintue to abuse and be abused. Marlee gives us a path to enlightenment.

How do we live in a world where patriotism isn't service to country but being a good consumer? This book asks important questions and thank God gives some answers.

A Must Have Book

This book is excellent for top-of-the-line Bakelite. The pieces you see in this book are the best examples of Bakelite and are rarely found in today's market - the collectors already have them. But it's good to see 'the best' so you will know what to look for when shopping for Bakelite - sometimes you find a rare piece. I was lucky to buy a few of these pieces from a collector who was selling. I bought what I could afford and have been wearing them since. I started buying a few pieces at the flea mart at reasonable prices but soon I wanted the better ones, that was 20 years ago and I'm still wearing them and enjoying them. The best thing about Bakelite jewelry is you can wear and enjoy your collection. Don't hesitate to buy this book, it's the best one out there and I have them all. The more knowledge you have the better you will be when finding good pieces. Good Luck and have fun collecting.

Sounds like my family

The latest installment in the Molly Masters series is charming and full of family moments that ring true to life. The mystery itself, which centers around the death of the seemingly perfect PTA president, is typical of the genre. Although entertaining enough, it certainly didn't overwhelm my imagination. Molly's encounters with her family, however, were brilliant. Her exchanges with her 16-year old daughter Karen, who is learning to drive and beginning to date, were a wonderful mixture of humor and angst. Even more touching was her discussion with her son, Nathan, who is being harassed by bullies at school. Overall, I definitely recommend this book to readers of the series!

Getting Silly

This once charming series is starting to lose its steam.Molly has turned into nothing more than a nosy, annoying pain in the .... She sticks her nose into situations that have nothing to do with her, and doesn't seem to think the police can manage to do their jobs withour her "tactful nudging" in the right direction. The fact that Tommy allows her to keep intruding into his investigations is just getting silly already -- almost as silly as her constantly teaming up with Stephanie and taking her orders, when she can't stand this woman.It's time to put this series to bed before it turns to plain God-awful.

Sensational pianistic fireworks

Ivory Classics are now releasing a series of the veteran American piano virtuoso Earl Wild's recordings, upon which his reputation as a super-virtuoso rests. These superbly refurbished recordings date from the 1960s to 1980s and mostly capture Wild at his technical and interpretative best. Take the fiendish Liszt Mephisto Waltz No. 1 for example. Even in the light of Wild's three other recordings of this piece, and other famous ones from Kapell, Horowitz, and Cziffra, this version is a spine-tingling diabolic ride at a staggering basic tempo. Other high-lights include Liszt's Grand Galop Chromatique (better balanced and controlled than Cziffra's), Gnomenreigen, and a stunning Dohnanyi pairing. Many other adventures await the listener - snap these discs up, a bargain at the price.

Perfect straight edge for very little money

This straight edge was perfect for what I needed. I was redoing a top end of an engine and needed to check the major components for true. This worked perfectly for that purpose.

Excellent for the Price

I purchased this item to check for warping on my engine's cylinder heads. Sure enough, I was able to identify warped heads quickly and easily. After being returned from the machine shop, I could verify the heads were true with this straight edge. This gives me confidence that the straight-edge itself is straight. The plastic sleeve that covers the machined edge is a nice touch and keeps the edge oiled to prevent corrosion. For the money, this is an excellent product.

I only have 20 pages left to read, but I had to let people know my opinion of the book. This book was wonderful. I could not put it down and hate the fact that I am so close to the end, but have to work! I think the author did a wonderful job, especially with creating the feelings of Faith in finding out she had been transported back in time and also of Miles' feelings when told she was from the future. The story has kept me on the edge of my seat, not wanting to sleep or eat because I would have to put it down. She did a wonderful job. This is definitely a keeper and I eagerly look forward to her next book.

Uneven collection but "Failure" worth the price alone

If this collection just contained "Failure Is Not An Option," I would unhesitatingly give it five stars. Gene Kranz's personal retelling of the space race provides enthralling insight into what went on behind the scenes, what life was like in Mission Control, and how decisions were made.Unfortunately, the remaining items in the set aren't of the same caliber. "Project Orion" is decent coverage of a bizarre effort to use exploding atomic bombs to propel spacecraft. "Space Shuttle" is nothing special, and if you want to see a good documentary about "Apollo 13", get PBS's "Apollo 13: To the Edge and Back", not this one.That being said, "Failure" is worth the price of the set all by itself. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in how we got men to the Moon.

Great Read

A very effective survey of the Native tribes in America from before the whites until present times. The book provided a lot of information regarding the legal fights of the tribes over times, which I found to be very interesting. This includes governmental policies, including the gaming issues. Also, how the tribes have hung onto their culture and identity, which was equally interesting. It was interesting to read of hte mascot issue at the end of the book as well, due to the current issues dealing with them.Calloway also includes many legal documents which give a greater insight to the happenings of the time. These documents also help to see the issues from both points of view, native and white.

what they didnt teach us in grade school

I'm taking a Native American History and Culture survey course as part of my general education requirements for my degree. This text is definitely well written and organized. I am a science major so am used to reading science texts. "First Peoples" is definitely easy and enjoyable reading compared to science texts; I wont be selling this textbook after the course ends. And of course, with my Prime membership, the book arrived just in time for class.

Outstanding

This is one of the best history textbooks I have ever read, and trust me, I've read the entire thing. As a history minor, I needed a couple more American history classes and so I decided that since I did not know a lot about Native American history, it would be an interesting class to take. Calloway's book is extremely informative and interesting. The book is laid out in a direct manner and includes pictures and selections from documents and essays along with the regular text. In my class, we had two textbooks, three books from the native perspective, and two books discussing Native American leaders and this one was the best. I think that although it is a bit big (or maybe it just was for me since I had to read so many other books as well) it keeps your interest from the first page to the last. I would definitely recommend this to history teachers and to anyone who wishes to gain insight into the world of Native Americans.

Bought it for a class, read it for fun.

I had a history class about the European colonists who made America one semester. The following semester, I had an anthropology course about Native Americans that used this book to tell the same story from the other point of view. Very interesting. If you are at all interested in cultural heritage, sociology, anthropology, colonial America, or Native Americans, then you NEED to read this book.

Amazing and wonderful

For the record, I am a Paris Combo fan. I had to order this album from Amazon.fr in order to take quick delivery, but am I glad I did. The band is in typical form, which is to say: totally in command. Motifs will be familiar to those who know the band's other works, but it references new influences that we've not heard before. Specifically, the track Aquarium has distinct influences of Bossanova (read: Jobim). This new album has a dreamy, fluid quality that will suck you right in. Amazing and wonderful.

Greatest M&D for young children

This is a great wooden toy that works well for travel or at home. I love that it has no detachable pieces! I bought it for my 2 year old son, who is just beginning to want to play with it, but my 4 1/2 year old daughter likes to play with it too. I also have the vehicle maze puzzle and they like it just the same.

With all the interesting lightly explored topics of World War II why waste time on might-have-beens of low probability? This was as bad a production as I have ever seen from the history channel. The title was misleading - I expected people cleaning their files, perhaps something on the "Imperial Conspiracy" or the impact of the end of the war on the colonial people, but not this trash.

Worst phone I had so far

it's the worst cell phone I had to date.1 this phone has 1 to 2 second delay when buttons are pressed.2 because of slow button key I kept doing and unding key lock/unlock several times to actually call anyone.3. battery life is only about 48hrs (standby) and defintly not 200 some minutes as what this phone's spec says.4. phonebook is pretty messedup. phone book name displys only first half of first line, although it allows you to enter two lines.5. on/off button some times takes second try.6. it's not straight forward to save work/home/mobile... under one name.7. phone charger connection is so flimsy that in certain position it won't charge. design is pretty messed up.8. 1/8" of color lcd screen is already dying only after 5 month of useage.9. signal is very poor. I'm sure this lot more to do with Tmobile.Basically slow and unintuitive phone.Bright side of all this is that Tmobile contact is only for one year.

Fragile - Handle with care

Worked fine for one month and hence am giving 1 star to it. Dropped it once on floor. Since then the microphone stopped working intermittently. Contacted tmobile, they told that they sent another piece, and never got one.And tmobile: I moved from Texas to Boston. Most of the times its out of coverage. Even in busiest business areas, it hardly shows one line.So my suggestion: If you don't maintain a belt pouch for this phone, donot buy, coz once you drop it, you might end up 'NOT BEING HEARD', and if you are in Boston area, don't think about tmobile.

Actually 3.5 star is the right score

Pros:1. Compact in Size;2. eye-ball-absorber design;3. Good bluetooth connection (w/ HS820 headset);4. Convinient input keyboard;5. The screen is clear enough to show a vivid picture;Cons:1. battery is toooooo weak. A full charged battery can only last for one day (with normal amount of incoming and outgoing calls and without any other devices connected). A lot shorter than they claimed in the description (6 days in waiting mode)!2. A little bulky compared tp other camera phones(like samsung);3. The phonebook is a little different from all the other brands;4. System freezed up once when I input phone numbers with bluetooth device connected. I have to reset it by taking the battery out;5. No zoom function with the build-in camera; Can't observe the picture from front small screen when taking photos with the phone closed;6. No software; Just one Java game come with the unit. No choiceother than purchasing more on line.

Neat gadget...useless phone

I initially liked this phone and had no complaints about it until it started to shut down whenever I would hit the end call button on the phone, right after I ended a call. I called T-Mobile to get another phone thinking that it may just have been a glitch in my original phone, but it isn't!! After complaining to T-Mobile again about the replacement phone, customer service informed me that it's a known problem with the phone and that there is nothing that they can do about it. So, I'm pretty much stuck with a useless phone! It doesn't matter what else the phone does, because it shuts off all the time without my knowledge. There has been dozens of times where I pull my phone out to use it and realize that it's shut off already. My family and friends are so annoyed at me because they say I never turn my phone on. What a piece of crap!! Don't buy it. Look for something else!!!!

Good for texting, nothing else

This is a bad phone. It's slow, the interface is more complicated than sin, and the reception is bad (possibly because of T-mo, but anectdotal evidence suggests otherwise). It's excellent for tapping out text messages, which I do a lot of. I will not be buying another Motorola phone, unless they entirely revamp the interface. Especially the address book, which lists the phone numbers without telling you whether or not the numbers are for a cell, or home, or fax, or whatever. It's really annoying.Don't get this unless texting is your main thing, and the phone part is an afterthought. It wouldn't even get two stars except that the qwerty keyboard is excellent.

Flashy but impractical

I knew when I ordered this phone it had undersized keys and a problematic bluetooth implementation. I did not realize that with the small size came less than adequate signal reception, a screen that is invisible outdoors, and a user interface with many problems. example: The phone features voice dialing. Good luck figuring out how to set up voice strings that the feature can use.This one is going back.

Absolutely no software provided

Overall the phone is decent, with good speakerphone quality and is quite well summarized in all the other reviews. One thing however that surprises me and that no one has mentioned before is the fact that the phone does not have *any* accompanying software either on a CD or for download.So, if I have to move my 100+ contacts from my old Nokia 3650 to my new A630, I have to either punch it in manually or fork out atleast $30 for purchasing the software. I feel that it is total BS to have to fork another $30 for a phone that retails at $350 for getting functionality that is pretty standard on most other phones. (My 3650 had the software bundled for free.)I feel that this is appalling! Hence my relatively low rating! Guess, I have no other option but to fork over another $30 and get the stupid software.

It suckz!

It looks cute but it's not a phone u would use everyday. The first time I got it, it wouldn't charge after just a week. I tried all the chargers we had and when we really couldn't charge the phone, we returned it to the dealer we got it from and they exchanged it because it was defective. After 6 months, now I'm having the same problem with charging it. The batt is dead and I can't even exhange it anymore. My other friends who has the same phone as me has the same problem with it too. I don't recommend it.

great concept, barely acceptable execution

Amazon shipped me a defective phone, which T-Mobile willreplace (free of charge). I'm not too happy with that,first of all because T-Mobile will not guarantee that thereplacement is brand-new (it could be refurbished),secondly, why did I get a defective phone to begin with --where's the quality control?Playing around with the phone (it is partially functional),there's a bit of a "production prototype" feel to it, forexample the external keyboard moves around the case, likea millimiter or so in any direction you push it; the internalkeyboard is rather loud and creaky, it does not have anywherenear the "quality feel" as my old Blackberry.HOWEVER, I still have to give this phone 4 stars, becauseyou cannot find anything like it in the market, for thefeatures, weight, price, and size combination. It trulyhas no competition right now, so Motorola can get away withstuff they would not be able to if Nokia had a similar phoneout on the market.

Fun Phone

I'm getting paid to get the phone so being free, this is a great phone. The phone is smaller than I expected, about the size of a small flip-phone. The text/AIM feature is the the reason this phone is fun. If your looking for a smart-phone, this is not for you as surfing can be a bit slow, get a blackberry. This cell is alot like the Motorola Two-Way's pager with a phone. The reception is OK, nothing special as is the battery. I haven't tried the bluetooth yet but have read from others that it doesn't do well with MAC's. All in all, i can't complain it's a great phone!

Warranty? What warranty?

I had been very happy with my Motorola A630 until the battery started losing its charge within a day, even when the phone was turned off. The friendly but incompetent customer support kept me on the phone for an average of 40 minutes for the repeated calls trying to figure out the problem. After the phone had finally been sent to their technical service center, they returned it to me that the phone was irreperable "due to customer abuse." I have done nothing to that phone that could have caused any damage (unless using it to make phone calls counts as "customer abuse"), but got the same comment, without explanation after I had sent the phone in for a second time for reevaluation. It seems that Motorola is just trying to get out of fixing or replacing the phone free of charge under warranty. You'll be fine with a Motorola phone as long as it works. After that, you're on your own.

This phone is great for the first 6 months* The design of the phone is hard to beat!However, This is third phone T-mobile has sent me that WILL NOT CHARGE. The T-mobile store does not cell the phone anymoe and Motorola has not created a follow up phone. The phone is obviously defected.

Simply the BEST^^

This phone is by far the most unique and functional phone I have ever own. yes, yes, yes, if you read other reviews, they will tell you it is not your mobile office, doesn't have software and blah,blah, blah. However, this phone is compact and cute, really comfortable keyboard, and very bright screen for indoor usage. This phone also comes with IM and SMS features, which fills up my apetite for chatting while I am outta the office. so to the people who have a beef with the excellent little phone, "WHAT^EVER"so IMHO (not I am Homer, its In My Humble Opinion), anyone who luvs an eye candy that packs with cool features will certainly enjoy this phone.-mo (excited to be the first to review my favorite phone)

Amazing Arthur

When I first read this book I had no clue it was about King Arthur, as a young boy or otherwise, because the copy at my library didn't proclaim in bold letters "A Tale of Young King Arthur." Not until the very end did it dawn on me that this wonderful book I was reading had anything at all to do with the legendary King Arthur I had already read so much about. But this book is not about King Arthur until the very end. For the most part it is about a boy named Artos and his trials and tribulations in growing up and meeting a dragon. This dragon teaches him things he would have no chance to learn anywhere else and balances out his life in a most peculiar way.

The Dragon's boy

Artos, an orphan, housed since birth by sir Ector and Lady Marion. Artos is in many ways just like Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. Until one day when he must go out into the woods in search of Sir Ector's missing brachet hound. He enters a cave in hopes that the hound is within, but instead of a hound he finds an old, but very wise dragon. From the knowledge that the dragon gives Artos, he is able to befriend and become an equal to Cai, Bedvere and Lancot, three boys around his age but much higher in ranking, or so it seems.It is a well-written book, but I didn't really like the style it was written in, it is also a slow moving book, so if you like slow moving books this is a good book for you. She went into a lot of detail about stuff that never happens, like what would happen if the dragon ate him. It's an okay book if you have nothing better to read, but lots of detail, which is okay sometimes but not always.

The Dragon Boy

I loved this book and it was so cool because I liked the dragon he was cool looking and his teeth are a little bit long and sharp. The book isn't scary at all and the boy meets the dragon in the begining of the book.The book is pretty cool. You should read it it's good. The three main characters are Mag, Sir Ector, and Artos. What I liked about this book was that they're is a dragon in it and a red diamond, and what I didn't like about this book was that all they did was talk about Mag, and Artos. The author is a very good writer. This book was very good you should read it.

Of the 30+ business/motivational books I've read, this is by far the worst. Al Neuharth is someone I've always respected for being successful, especially when everyone doubted him, but his book is basically a bragging session.

Confessions of an S.O.B.

Talk about self-absorbed...I guess the ego and the love of self this man displays are essential to success in business...I thought the man made some good points, but few are helpful to anyone in the real world (or outside the newspaper business). Nausea sets in after the second chapter. Neuharth will die an old, lonely, rich man. Respected by many, hated by nearly all. Luckily, I didn't have to sit through this entire book. I put it down quickly.

What a sad man

Mr. Neuharth is indeed a sad and cynical man. He equates 'elitism' with critical thinking and casts himself as a man of the people, just listening to their opinions via his polls and town meetings. And yet he talks of his fancy jets and other staples of his lavish and selfish lifestyle.

Rather boring

James Silk Buckingham's Travels among the Arab Tribes Inhabiting the Countries East of Syria and Palestine: Including a Journey from Nazareth to the Mountains beyond the Dead is a tedious, travelogue written by a man who attempts to place far greater importance upon his journeys than they warrent. Often he makes claims of discovery to minor ruins that are without any historical merit or importance. Buckingham's wordy style soon becomes boring. Indeed, his book is both dull and insipid. As for his pandering to Lady Hester Stanhope the less said the better. Buckingham lacks the wit of Kinglake and there is little in this massive tome (700 plus pages), that was not already covered with far great aptitude by John Lewis Burckhardt.

Best crochet instuctions/photos

I learned how to crochet by copying whatever my grandmother did (a slip knot, a foundation chain, a slip stitch a single & double crochet) but she never taught me the names of all these stitches or I was too young to remember. When she passed away I was lost trying to read a pattern by my self. This book was the answer to my prayer. The pictures follow the instructions really well & there are no missed steps with out a picture. My book is full of yellow stickys so that when I read a pattern I can go back to the stitch I am working on. It has also taught me to read instructions slowly instead of trying to figure out, one long, run on sentence. STOP at a coma & see what you're doing, before you proceed. Highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to start or has been discouraged by other books.

Not very clear for the true novice

I have spent several hours trying to figure out what to do after I create the first basic "foundation chain," and this book is not very helpful for that. I found several explanations online that made more sense and went into more detail. The notation and terminology in this book is unclear for someone who has never crocheted before...the author uses "stitch" and "chain" interchangeably, for example.I think you could find better free guides online if you are a true novice. This book does has some nice patterns and examples, but you won't be able to get that far if you can't understand the very basic techniques.

Biggest dissapointment of '05 so far.....

I've had this album for a couple of months now, and I really wanted to hold my tongue because there aren't a lot of positive things to say about this release. O.G. Bobby Johnson suffers from too many wack guest appearances (not including the Camu Tao guest spot on "Lately"). Another big problem is these producers he dug up make some pretty weak beats. I normally like hearing different underdog producers but these guys haven't blown up for a very good reason, they're below average on the boards plain and simple. The only beats that are kinda dope are "P.P.P.", and the El Da sensei dis-a-thon "Toxic". I hate to say it, but even Tames word play sounds a bit stale here, he even recycles a couple of lines from When Rapper Attack. Personally I think he needs to put the sherm down, and go back to the drawing board because this is not worthy material from the guy who brought us Those Artifacts bangers back in the day, or the more recent Water World album.

One little problem

I came on site to buy the book, which I intend to do. I borrowed it from the library because I found recipes in it for Christmas morning for the family. The egg and sauage breakfast casserole was great. The skier's toast gave me a little problem. Part of the recipe is a syrup out of karo, brown sugar and half and half which is placed in 13x9 pan,when I placed it in the dish mine turned into caramel..I made it again and put a little water in it and did not cook it that long. It worked this time. It was delicious. I got rave reviews from the family, but I still wonder about that receipe. What was my mistake? Or is something missing from it. Otherwise the book is great and I'm going to buy it right now.

Some things Never Change Uncle Ted

What can I say ... some things never change ... the seasons, birth, death, taxes, and Ted Nugent. The self indulgent hunter/rocker is still going at it in his 60's ...and I swear, it seems some have made a pact with the devil because they stay forever young. Mick Jagger, Chuck Berry, Steven Tyler, Paul McCartney, and uncle Ted (at least in appearance). This concert focus' on a hometown show in Detroit, and Ted is in top form, playing most of his hits, and a few covers. He humbles himself as much as Ted can and pays homage to some of his hero's including the drummer from Mitch Ryder and the Detroit wheels (who has seemed to make a pact with the devil too), his original guitar teacher (no pact here), and the original singer who does a dynomite job on Stranglehold. You either love or hate Ted, I happen to love him...because he delivers...maybe he has a right to be self indulgent.

Sound quality is terrible. Don't waste your money.

Just got this video. I'm a big Ted fan, I only live a little way from his home town, have seen him in concert several times. Upon playing this video, I could not even hear or understand the words being sung, Ted starts out singing, I guess, but you cannot understand what he is saying, his back-up singers can be heard better than him. Sound quality is terrible. The video jumps around from one view to another view very fast, a lot of the video is the audience which I could care less about. I only watched the first few songs and was so disappointed that I turned Ted off and probably won't play him again. Very disappointed Uncle Ted, you can do better than this. If you're going to buy a Ted video, take a chance on a different one, don't buy this one, it's terrible.

His music is OK but he's one vulgar dude

OK, so I'm one of the few rockers who is offended by vulgar language. If you are not one of the other 7 rockers in the whole world who feels the same you might really like this show. I like several of Uncle Ted's songs, especially Hey Baby. All his best songs are featured in this show and the band does a respectable job on every one-- not a great job but pretty good... same for Ted himself. If he had just kept his dialogue rated PG13 I would not have thrown the disk in the trash. On the bright side, I've used the blu-ray box to replace a damaged one I had for a Bad Company disk.

Maxell Audio CDRs Now Poor Quality!

Buyer beware: this is no longer the same product. Maxell has recently changed their audio CDRs. Formally, they were manufactured in Japan; now they are made in Taiwan. All the older Maxell discs would play in EVERYTHING. However, a large percentage of discs in this new CDR media are defective. The new discs will no longer play in my Panasonic boom box or in my Honda car stereo. Worse, some of these CDs will fail to play in anything after a few days.
