Extra iPhone power on the go
If you're lucky enough to have an iPhone, you may have some issue with power (ehm . . . don''t we all). Fast approaching to the market is a sophisticated power pack called The mophie Juice Pack. I predict that this will be a handy piece of gear that will be fast-adopted by the iPhone elite (sense the envy?). The mophie Juice Pack comes fully pre-charged and ready to go straight out of the box. Simply plug in your iPhone to the fully pre-charged Juice Pack and double the time you spend rocking, talking, surfing and sending! Major mophie Juice Pack Features: Smart Power Management System Your iPhone Adaptor or any iPod connector can be used to charge the Juice Pack without your iPhone or with your iPhone simultaneously. Smart Battery Technology Instructs the iPhone to always drain out the Juice Pack first. Simply detach the Juice Pack when you''re finished, and you still have a fully charged iPhone. Powerful and Safe Battery Cell The Juice Pack utilizes a safe, advanced rechargeable lithium-polymer battery cell. There is a built-in circuit to prevent the Juice Pack from shorting, overcharging, and behaving badly under extreme weather conditions. 4 Light LED Battery Status Indicator There are 4 light LEDs on the back of the Juice Pack. Simply press the test button and it will tell you how much power is left with the Juice Pack. The LED lights also indicate the charging status and the charging progress.

US Bank Rip Off
I cried because I had no shoes...until I met a person who had no feet! That's right folks...Like many of the other folks who had been taken for a ride by US Bank, I too had been cheated of a couple of hundred bucks. After being lied to multiple times, I just gave up while being amazed at the level of deception this bank would stoop to in order to save a paltry $200. Then I came across this wrenching story (dated 13 Oct 2006): http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=17322452&BRD=1719&PAG=461& dept_id=25271&rfi=6 Silas Braxton (who suffers from end-stage renal failure) and his wife Evelyn Casey-Braxton were served foreclosure papers by US Bank because...get this...US Bank lost their mortgage payment checks! An excerpt from the article: --------------------------------------- "In fact, we have a receipt to prove it," Casey-Braxton said. ( that they had paid their monthly mortage ) When the Braxtons went back to the bank to complain, they showed the clerk the receipt that proved they had paid their bills before the loan had been foreclosed on. They were stunned to hear that it didn’t matter. "They told us that anyone can (make a fake) receipt," Braxton said. "What’s the point of giving them out if they won’t honor their own receipts?" He said people at the bank made him and his wife feel like it was their fault, even though the bank had lost the checks. --------------------------------------- Let me repeat that: He said people at the bank made him and his wife feel like it was their fault, even though the bank had lost the checks. Read the article and do your own due diligence before doing business with this evil institution! Remember in the late 50s, Ford tried to save its embarrassing failure of a car by flooding magazines with ads that screamed "The Edsel is a success."? The public was not taken in by these flashy slogans. My question to those reading this review is: Will you fall hook, line and sinker for US Bank's 5 Star guarantee while they continue to hoodwink the likes of the Braxton couple? What did the Braxtons do to deserve this hell? By the way, this is not a chance happening! About two years back, I had come across another identical case of US Bank foreclosing on a property in an almost identical manner! A challenge: Find me a single bank among the nation wide chain of banks that is WORSE than US Bank! I am continually amazed at good hearted nature of the American public that pitches in to save a stranded whale or indulges in similar acts of random kindness. Do your good deed for the week. Print the above mentioned article and this review. Take it to your nearest US Bank location and give it to the customers who are unaware that they are selling their souls to the devil! Needless to say, if you have an account at the bank, close it out!!

Nokia 6610 Not reliable
To Whom May Be Concern, Last year, I just bought a brand new handphone - Nokia 6610 from on of the Singtel Shop in Orchard. After which, used about three months I need to send it down to your care centre for service due to keypad problem. Checked with your care centre people, their feedback is - "it is common, so no worries, will get it repaired and it should be okie". To be frank that I still use a plastic cover and a handphone cushion cover to protect this new phone and have never drop it till now, so I got no clue why the keypads will be so easily spoiled!! Well, after repaired, thought it should be alright, but never know that three months later it was spoiled again, this time I have to apply leave to go down to the care centre to get it repaired as it is very near Christmas!! And know what after one week plus, the keypads failed me again....either the phone I bought is already a faulty pc or the care centre people did not do a good job!!! Can you imagine that when I just want to sms a simple "HELLO" to my friend, I need to spend about more than 15mins to get it keyed out!!! All because some of the keys are not functioning/ spoiled and I will have to press so hard till my thumb is so painful to get one sms out to my friend!! What is that man!! Instead of being enjoying the convenient of owing a handphone, it is causing mental stress and and a lot of inconvenience to me!!!! It is really so frustrating and fuming to keep having the same problem again and again. A handphone should be user friendly and give convenient to the user, but instead of that I have to apply leave, worry for the repair time, my warranty expired date....it just causing me all the INCONVENIENCE AND HEADACHNE!!! So, I hope that Nokia can provide me a good reply or compensation on this issue. As all along, I have been using Nokia phone, so have always trust the user-friendly of the model and yet this time it has TERRIBLE DISAPPOINTED ME!!!!! I hope you can get back to me as soon as possible on this issue. As my warranty is going to be expired soon and I don't think I want to spend anymore money on the repair again!!! Thank you.

First Equity Card
This company sends out lots of applications. I got about four before I signed up. Then I had a question and could not reach them because they don't publish their phone number!! Long story short, you can reach them at 1-800-334-9007. Let them know that not listing their number anywhere is total BS.

Blue from American Express
Is American Express a hard company to get an approval? Everything looks great with their rates, but I don't know if American express is good to deal with as far as the late fees and jacking up my rate later on. Anyone? http://www.checkrates.com/CreditCards/default.aspx
