Nice product., July 6, 2011

TIR "TIR" (Houston, TX, USA) -

This review is from: Toshiba Thrive 10.1-Inch 16 GB Android Tablet AT105-T1016

I purchased two 16gb tablets from a local retailer yesterday. First let me say this tablet is not perfect but I am am very pleased. It is like having a large smart phone. I love my smart phone! My husband was able to get most of his apps installed, but some of mine are not available for the tablet yet. I am able to use my cloud service and access several of my paid apps (spreadsheets, word docs, etc). The widgets & apps that are missing from the market are not an issue because I can access these items online (banking, personal finance site). I am optimistic that the android community will remedy this eventually. I am a techie and I love it.

The interface is flawless & smooth, saved photos look really good (even when zoomed in), wireless connection excellent (no connection issues). So far my battery life has been 6hrs; but let me say I did not turn off wireless or Bluetooth. My screen brightness was on maximum. I played Need for Speed briefly, surfed the web alot (3-4 hours), downloaded apps and files, looked at several youtube videos. I think the speaker quality is good; picture quality OK; used tango and talked to hubby while he was at work.

Remember this tablet is thicker than the Ipad 2, Samsung, etc; some may experience fatigue from holding it long periods of time. I typed this entire review on the keyboard. I like it and unless something really bad happens in the next 13 days I plan to keep it.

Actual hands-on review, July 6, 2011

O. C. Uribe (Portland, OR United States) -

This review is from: Toshiba Thrive 10.1-Inch 16 GB Android Tablet AT105-T1016

Strangely enough our local Fry's electronic store put their stock of Thrive's on sell July 1st! I picked one up and all I can say is that I love it! Aside from a few Honeycomb 3.1 quirks, and the fact the Thrive is a little thicker than its competition, it feels solid in my hands and responds smoothly and quickly to my touch. One of the things that has me really happy is the full size SD card and the full size USB port! For twenty dollars I doubled my memory with a 16GB SD card, lets see the Samsung Tab or IPad do that. I've been using it non-stop for five days and so far no crashes or freezing up. The battery life is ok, however the battery charges faster then my cell phone. I can pretty my charge the tablet in an hour, not to shabby. Apps have gone on smoothly with no problems, I have the kindle app, MOBO player, Pulse for news, Catch for note taking, Documents To Go for reviewing and editing spreadsheets, and the Adobe reader for looking over PDFs. If there is any APP you should check out is Google Body, my kids love looking over the different anatomy viewpoints. The browser works like any full size browser you would experience on your laptop. That's all I got. I am not a Toshiba rep or even a techie, just another person looking for an alternative tablet to the IPad or the ridiculously expensive XOOM. It was either the Transformer by Asus or this. All I can say is that Toshiba has made a solid product that doesn't feel like its going to break on me or like they tried to cram every feature into a tin can. For once I'm not disappointed.

For me, Thrive beats Galaxy Tab and Acer Iconia, July 9, 2011

Kaio (Santa Monica, CA) -

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Toshiba Thrive 10.1-Inch 8 GB Android Tablet AT105-T108 (Personal Computers)

I pre-ordered the 32gb Thrive here on Amazon, but got impatient and went to a local retailer just to check them out. We loved this tab so much, we got a 2nd for my husband in 16gb.

Toshiba Brand

First off -- No -- I do not work for Toshiba. But I fell in love with the brand a little over a year ago when I bought a new Qosmio laptop, and it's BY FAR the best computer I have ever owned. I love it as much today as the day I got it, so when I found out Toshiba had an Android Tab, I had to take a serious look.

Galaxy & Iconia in Brief

Prior to learning about Thrive, I was seriously considering the new 10" Galaxy Tab. I had been coveting the 8" model for some time, but just wasn't ready to take the leap. So when the 10" came along, I just had to stop by a local retailer to try one out hands-on. And I must say, I really fell in love with it -- the screen is vivid and stunning, the interface is clean and responsive. And it's super thin for sure. But, the first thing I noticed was there's no inputs of any kind; no SD slot, no USB, no nada. The sales rep said that's because everything is trending toward the "cloud." Well, that's all well and good, but I like products that I control, not products that control me (hence why I'm no fan of Apple's line of iShackle products.) I'm all for "the cloud" and have one here on Amazon for my music, but I'm also the type that prefers to have my own stuff stored locally. I also like to get into the nuts and bolts of my peripherals and use them my way, so having no inputs on the Galaxy was a huge letdown for me. I left the store feeling underwhelmed, and like it wasn't the right time to buy a tablet. But I was bitten by the bug so I went home and started researching other tabs.

Reviews here on Amazon had me convinced Acer Iconia was better than Asus Transformer. And the Acer had USB inputs, so I was happy with that. But I've never been a big fan of Acer, so I still wasn't feeling the itch just yet. But then I stumbled upon the Toshiba Thrive, and still being so highly impressed with their laptop, I immediately felt a connection to the Thrive.

Every Input I'll Ever Need

Thrive has SD card, USB, mini-USB and full size HDMI ports. And for me, this is where Thrive clobbers the competition -- Toshiba just "gets it;" they make products that keep the end user in control and offer a truly freeing experience. I have a full size HDMI port on my Toshiba laptop too, and let me tell you, it completely changed my computing experience! My laptop is connected to a 50" plasma TV and I use a wireless keyboard and gyration remote for a mouse. Let me tell you, once you use a computer that way, there's just no going back. So all those inputs on the Thrive was a big clincher for me -- and once again, Toshiba stands head and shoulders above the rest in this department. I fully expect to connect my tablet to my HDTV as well. And the on-board SD and USB ports assure I'll have all the computing freedom and control I've come to expect.

Vibrant Screen and Color

When I first saw the Thrive at my local electronics store, I was a bit concerned the screen wasn't as vibrant as the Galaxy. But then I remembered Thrive has an auto brightness feature, so I was wondering if that was limiting the saturation in some way. I was easily able to find and navigate the setup menus right there in the store, turned off auto-brightness -- and voila! -- the Thrive's screen was every bit as vibrant and rich as the Galaxy! The colors and clarity are nothing short of stunning. I hate to say it, but the screen is probably better than my 50" plasma (it's only a couple years old, which already makes it a relic in tech world.)

Ease of Use

For me, the truest test of any piece of tech, is the ability to use it straight out of the box with NO help from user manuals. I got a new printer recently and had to fiddle with it for days because the install didn't set it up properly -- and in my book -- that's a sure sign of a piece of junk. This Thrive, however, was very simple and easy to get the hang of within minutes right there in the store. Naturally, that's as much a testament to Android 3.1 as it is to Toshiba Thrive. Either way, I was doing everything from surfing the net, to customizing the entire interface and settings in minutes, all right there in the store -- no user manuals, no nothing. I even tethered it to my cell phone just for fun. The interface is so smooth and responsive, and the Tegra CPU is clearly a beast; no hangs, locking or delays of any kind. Everything was fast, smooth and clean; just the way it should be. In fact, Thrive loaded and buffered YouTube videos better than the Galaxy, though there could be many reasons for that given all the devices on the store's WiFi network.

Stay away from this lamp! It is cheaply made and has scratches all over the front of it. Definately not worth $27.00. Seems like something that you could get for $3.99 on a clearance table at a dicount store.

NOT worth the price., February 23, 2011

Billie S. "Photography lover!" (Missouri) -

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Lite Source LS-2998 Quatro Mini Table Lamp, Brushed Dark Bronze with Linen Shade (Tools & Home Improvement)

I had bought 2 of these because they were in my price range and matched my decor really well. Unfortunately, when I received them, they were smaller than what the advertisement stated. I immediately contacted their customer service chat, which was nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find (could not find a telephone number anywhere). I told them it wasn't fair I had spent money on something they advertised incorrectly and should have received the item that WAS advertised. They weren't very helpful and the guy could barely TYPE English with typos and lines that didn't make any sense. Not-so-great customer service.

Now to the lamp. It's really cute, BUT one of the lamps where the golden design is on the body is rubbed off half way, so it looks like they didn't even check to see if that one was okay to sell. Secondly, the lampshades are REALLY cheap. You can see the glue all over the back. They basically folded it over and glued it with really dark yellow glue. Horrible. Luckily, you can turn that to the back, but still shouldn't have to pay $27 for something a 5 year old could have made look better.

Like I said, I really like the lamp, but it is NOT worth the money or the hassle.
It's horrible quality and is very cheap.
You will most likely get something you are not satisfied with.

Comment on HTC EVO 3D 4G Android Phone (Sprint) by Erik in OC

Another Evo, another specs monster, June 24, 2011

Erik in OC (Costa Mesa, CA) -

This review is from: HTC EVO 3D 4G Android Phone (Sprint) (Wireless Phone)

When the Evo 4G came out, it was a beast like nothing before it. Even a year later, it's keeping up nicely, as one of the few Android phones with Netflix streaming and a fresh Gingerbread update.

HTC's follow-up to the blockbuster Evo 4G is to give us a feature that nobody was asking for: a 3D capable display with stereoscopic cameras. The 3D effect is pretty cool. You do have some blur until the camera adjusts. While it's something you've probably never seen, short of the Nintendo 3DS, it just not something most people will find all that impressive. At no point have I thought wow, I'm really glad my phone can do this. You do have the option to turn it off and take regular pictures. The 3D has dual LED flash, just like the first Evo and the standard pictures come out sharp.

Performance

The dual core processor is fast and you will notice it from the first boot-up. Subsequent boot-ups take about 12 seconds to get to the home screen. Even when downloading my 30-40 apps from Market, you are just clicking away all those options without the intermittent lag. You have 1.15GB of internal memory for apps, so you won't have to worry about running out of space like the first Evo. HTC is still only throwing in an 8GB micro SD, but it's class 4 speed this time. 16GB cards are cheap, so that's a worthwhile upgrade for those that want to put a lot of media on their phone.

Display

The Evo 3D has improved resolution over the original with the qHD display. It can now show off millions of colors, instead of only thousands. A parallax screen is required for the 3D, which reduces the viewing angles and takes a little pop out of the colors. All in all, it is better than the slightly washed out colors of the original Evo, but I still prefer Samsung's year old Super AMOLED display, even at the lower resolution.

Sense 3.0

There's a lot of improvements to love here. The carousel effect when flicking screens is cool, but just some eye candy I won't personally use other than to show off. You still have 7 home screens, without an option to reduce that number. The notification bar has a quick settings tab that let's you toggle all your data widgets, a feature that is overdue. The lock screen has the ability to go to custom apps, and to display weather or other items that you can personalize. You will notice other little things like the segmented app drawer pages.

Battery

The battery life has been holding up very well so far, about on par with the original Evo. On most days of moderate use (lots of texting, a couple calls, 15 minutes of web, 30 minutes of music), I end up with about 40% at the end of the days, (about 14 hours). I'm always on Wi-Fi, if it's available, which is a big key to good battery life on any smartphone. I work from home and the one day I was on Wi-Fi all day, only 15% of battery was used by the end of the day. So all in all, it's not a concern. If you use GPS and bluetooth often, you'll want to have a car charger, same as any smartphone.

Call quality

Call quality has been excellent, just as the original. As always, reception depends on your area. I get 4 bars throughout the greater Los Angeles area and couldn't be happier with Sprint's service. The other person comes through clear and I haven't had a dropped call on my end in years, other than obvious spots, such as parking garages.

Other considerations

The 3D is slightly slimmer on the sides (now matted), than the original and feels great in the hand. I love the giant camera button. The power button takes a very light press, something you have to get used to, but will appreciate once you do. The camera is not flush with the rest of the back, which can be annoying, just like the first Evo, if you didn't use a case.

Conclusion

The Evo 3D is Sprint's king of the hill, for the time being, and will give you the best user experience. If you are getting a new phone on Sprint, this is the clear choice, but is it worth it if you have an Evo 4G, or an Epic 4G? If you are getting the upgrade price, go for it, then sell the old one. You will appreciate how fast this phone is the more you use it. As for the 3D option, I don't think many will have much use for it, other than a novelty. My personal feeling is that most would prefer a thinner and lighter phone, such as Samsung's Galaxy S II, when it arrives.

EVO 4G vs EVO 3D: Flagship Faceoff, June 25, 2011

Scott Showalter "purefusion" (Ohio, USA) -

This review is from: HTC EVO 3D 4G Android Phone (Sprint) (Wireless Phone)

Off the bat, the EVO 3D has been getting a lot of mixed reviews. People either love it or hate it, but many reviews floating around have tended to direct the focus of their positive or negative feedback towards one of two things: the 3D features, or everything else. I hope the dispel the mass hysteria of other reviews by giving you a realistic account of my ongoing experience with this undoubtedly groundbreaking new phone. I'll also be heavily comparing it side by side with its predecessor, the EVO 4G, which I've owned for a year now. And for those of you who will be replacing another Android phone, I'll include an overview of how to transfer apps and data from your other phone to the EVO 3D.

Note: Be aware that I will also be mentioning the EVO 4G frequently throughout this review, so be sure to pay attention and not confuse the two.

Let's quickly look at what's new. Here are my pros (+) and cons (-). More in-depth coverage follows:

+ 3D glasses-free display - simply reciting the obvious here!
+ Dual 5 megapixel rear cameras - photos and videos shot in 3D can also be viewed in 2D!
+ Dedicated physical camera button - with two pressure levels, like a real camera
+ qHD display - ultrafine, high quality graphics at 540x960 screen resolution
+ Dual core Snapdragon processor - hasn't freezed up on me once!
+ Numerous software improvements - details noted further below
+ Larger 1730 mAh battery - yet seems physically smaller than EVO 4G's battery
- Battery still doesn't tend to last a full day - 3D drains it at 1% per minute, display also a power leach
- Camera takes too long to snap photos, especially 3D photos - a good 1-2 seconds!
- Camera glass easy to smudge when holding the EVO 3D in your hand, can ruin some 3D shots
- Camera's aluminum bezel easy to damage, doesn't fit evenly flush against the glass
- No kickstand

===== Look and Feel =====

The EVO 3D looks strikingly similar to its predecessor, the EVO 4G. Since the original 4G phone has been so successful, I guess they figured why fix what isn't broken. Sadly though, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. HTC decided to trade up the kickstand, supposedly for a bigger battery although the EVO 3D battery is physically smaller than its EVO 4G counterpart. I'll miss the kickstand, though it was awkward to use at times, most notably on soft or unlevel surfaces. Otherwise, we've got the same capacitive touch buttons along the bottom (home, menu, back & search... the perfect order), the same 4.3" screen, with a slightly taller, slightly less wide body, and the same soft touch back side, this time with a bit of added texture, which I don't really care for personally, but I digress. Naturally, with the dual cameras spread across half the back, holding the EVO 3D is a bit awkward. The glass covering those rear cameras is definitely not oleophobic, so it smudges easily, and I find myself constantly cleaning it up so my photos turn out clearly. Also, the bezel around those rear cameras was also easily susceptible to damage (had some dents fresh out of the box!) and also won't stay flush with the glass and can get caught on loose threads, or scrape the palm occasionally, an awkward sensation much like that of a razor blade shaving across your skin. Undoubtedly, you'll also notice an unsightly huge silver button gracing the right side of the EVO 3D. This new camera button is a stragely welcome addition, more on that in a sec, but you should be aware that it can also greet your palm with a harsh scrape every now and then, as well. Otherwise, the EVO 3D has a generally comfortable feel for its form factor.

===== Camera =====

Aside from the dual rear facing cameras, one of the most unmistakable new features of the EVO 3D has to be the huge silver button that at first seems to marr the landscape. Upon further use, however, I began to realize that this may have been the best new feature by far. Perhaps you're like me... when I got my EVO 4G, it all but replaced my point and shoot camera. However, having to touch a specific, small circular area of the screen to capture the image proved unhelpful at times, provoking blurred shots or requiring me to contort my wrist and hand in an odd way when taking self portraits and such with the 8mp rear camera.

===== Camera in 3D =====

Taking pictures in 3D is novel, but getting the perfect shot can be hopelessly difficult. There's a 2 second delay. Your subject has to stay still, period. I tried taking pictures of my pets, and not one came out perfectly because they inevitably move in the 2 second wait after pressing the button till it actually takes the shot. Images captured in 3D can also be viewed in 2D, but there's a little trick involved. You have to use the pinch gesture to zoom into the photo slightly. Alternately, you can... Read more

DROID X2= Why change a great thing!, May 28, 2011

Closeyou "Joe" (boston,ma) -

This review is from: Motorola DROID X2 Android Phone (Verizon Wireless) (Wireless Phone)

I recently got a droid X1 after having it a week I found out the X2 was coming out, so i quickly returned my X and a few days later got the droid X2. Having both phones, there is not a difference hardly in the looks, your accesories from X and any cases will fit the X2. The main difference in appearance is the X2 on back and they removed the red camera button(now you only can use the touch screen, no biggie.). The changes were mainly in the power and picture. X2 is now running a dual core processor the first for verizon phones instead of single core. The scrren is a qhd with higher resolution for better pics and videos. My favorite is the mirror mode, so while your on amazon you might as well buy the motorola hdmi cord and playback 1080p videos on your flat screen or play games like your phone is the controller. SWEET! All in all, if you own the droid X already you may not justify the upgrade, however if you loved your X1, you will also love the droid x2. If you are like me and like to protect your phone I might add that the X2 did away with the car dock manual option, so if you use a case it will probally not fit in the motorola car dock unless you remove it each time to put the phone in car dock mode, contacted motorola about this and they said only way is dont use a case so it fits in dock to trigger mode, other than that the phone is excellent for surfing and pic clarity. NO front facing camera or 4G, but really who wants the front camera, so everyone wont bother me with skyping, and until 2012 or 2013 the 4g wont be everywhere unless you are in a big city. Hope this helps and happy phone hunting!

The EVO 3D, June 24, 2011

T. R. Kanavy "The Friendly Cyborg" (Phoenix, AZ, USA) -

This review is from: HTC EVO 3D 4G Android Phone (Sprint) (Wireless Phone)

4.7 stars*****

UPDATED Call Quality 6/25

Firstly, let me admit that my time with the device is certainly not extensive enough to fully digest the phone's features; so I will be updating this review periodically with new insights I uncover along the way. I decided I would share my initial thoughts since I got a hold of this phone quite a bit earlier than most users and there are not many reviews here on Amazon at this time.
The EVO 3D was a phone I was originally on the fence about purchasing. After all, I loved my HTC EVO 4G and was happy with its performance. I debated about whether this phone was really worth the extra cash simply for the sake of having the newest iteration on the market. My review that follows is my initial thoughts on the phone, particularly in comparison to the previous EVO 4G. If you have a question about the phone, want to see a picture, or want me to test out a specific feature; simply post a comment and I will do my best to facilitate your request and answer any questions.
---------------------------------------------

THE HARDWARE

On the Outside:

The EVO 3D, in my opinion is striking in its general design and form. The black with red accenting looks great and the phone itself feels study, without being heavier (now 6 ounces) than the EVO 4g. The glass is the ultra-scratch-resistant gorilla glass, or a substance VERY much akin. The phone feels slightly more thin and narrow than its predecessor, ultimately making it more comfortable to hold, while the somewhat rough texture on its back provides a nice grip surface. When I first saw pictures of the phone, I thought it was less attractive than the original EVO. Now that I have the real deal physically in my hand I think it may be the most attractive phone I have seen to date (if you are in to that sort of thing).
I would be remiss if I did not mention one detail of the hardware: the lack of a kickstand. This may not be painful, unless you are an EVO 4G owner. Where for art thou dearest kickstand? According to HTC the kickstand was sacrificed in order to accommodate the larger battery and double camera lenses. Whatever the reason, I miss it.

Internally:

The EVO 3D boasts a duel-core 1.2Ghz CPU with the Adreno 220 GPU and 1 GB of dedicated RAM. When using the phone for daily operations it feels quick and responsive- though there is no sensation that this phone is more powerful than its predecessor in most tasks. However, there is one major caveat: while my prior EVO 4g takes over a minute to power on, the new EVO 3D is on in less than 20 seconds. I have yet to encounter any applications that feel sluggish on the EVO 3D, though I rarely encountered such problems on the previous version of the EVO. All-in -all it feels smooth and nimble even for graphically intense gaming sessions.

The Camera

Camera's on cell phones are not typically a make or break aspect for me. I can tell you that the 3D pictures are a lot of fun and the phone can easily convert them to a standard 2D image if needed. The quality of the 5MP cameras on the EVO 3D do seem to be slightly inferior to that of the previous 8MP camera on the EVO 4G. However, they are fairly close as to be hard to distinguish, at least by my untrained eye. If I had to pick (and I guess we do) I would rather have the 3D camera of the new unit in lieu of the higher MP EVO 4G simply for the added 3D benefits.
The Battery
Here again is an area where the EVO 3D easily outshines its forerunner. The new 1,730 mAH battery is noticeably more robust. I have been toying with the EVO 3D endlessly and still making it through a full day of use with relative ease. Unfortunately, where I live I was unable to test the 4G network- though I am quite sure the battery would drain significantly faster in this mode.

The Screen

This screen is pretty awesome- and I'm not talking about the 3D effects (I'll cover those later). The display boasts a crisp and clear qHd* 960 x540 resolution viewing area with excellent color and contrast. This is an area where the new EVO 3D makes a strong case for EVO 4g owners to make the leap to the new version.
(*qHD stands for quarter of full high definition)

----

3D Aspect

Obviously, HTC wanted to highlight the main "gimmick" of the device when they named the phone the EVO 3D. The 3D content is certainly cool, but it is a gimmick in the truest sense. The images don't actually pop out to greet you, rather the backgrounds seem to fade into recess, providing the illusion of depth. If you or anyone you know owns the new Nintendo DS, you will find the experience to be very similar. The phone comes with a trial version of a Spiderman game in 3D, and I must admit I had a dopey grin on my face the entire time I was... Read more
