Creative Zen V Plus MP3 Plus Video in the Palm of Your Hands
Being an owner of the Creative Zen V Plus for three months now, I can’t believe how Creative was able to put everything in such a small gadget. The Zen V Plus may not look high-tech but you just have to use it and see for yourself. At Creative’s website (www.creative.com), the Zen V Plus is categorized as an MP3 player and not a portable media player (PMP) just to make things clear.

Surely you’d want this Chocolate, Phone
Whoever labeled LG’s KG800 as the Chocolate Phone must have been appealing to a basic human weakness. Most people can’t resist a temptingly good bite of chocolate even though it’s chocolate that is made of metal, vibrates and is polyphonic.
Broadband Questions
After several weeks of enjoying my subscribed Internet bandwidth with only one hiccup (which lasted more than 12 hours!), I can say that I am pretty much satisfied with my broadband connection.

I am not starting another ISP tirade today but I do have some questions to ISPs that I am sure that other subscribers want answered as well.

Using this phone, I was convinced that this phone was the one I’ve been looking for so long now. But what is so great with this phone anyway? The first thing that I take into consideration when looking for a phone is its functions. The second thing is the price. Two of which were met with flying colors by this phone.
