This does it all, sort of

Pros: I really like the feel and weight of this device. When using it as a speaker phone it worked much better than I thought it would. The person on the other end of the call heard me clearly and the speakers had enough volume to be heard even while driving. Just turning on the bluetooth setting on my phone and flipping a simple switch on the Coda connected them both. When I used the Coda as a hand held device instead of using my phone, I was again surprised at how much better it sounded than my phones built in speaker and microphone. The included visor clip uses a magnet to attach to the Coda. I placed the Coda on the clip, attached it to my visor and never had it fall off, even though I was driving on washboard roads.
Cons: My one major complaint about this device is that when streaming music from my phone, the speakers sounded horrible. No bass, to much mid-range and tinny highs. I tried it at work, and even though my coworkers and I share the same taste in music, they told me to turn it off because of how bad it sounded. The included instruction manual is lacking in everything other than just a few basic instructions. It really needs to be better written. The buttons can be a bit touchy, I disconnected a few calls instead of answering, but it might just be me needing more time to get used to the device. There is no output jack on the device, which would have made this a little bit more versatile. If it had one then I could have plugged it into my car stereo and played the music stored on my phone over the stereo.
Overall Review: All in all this is a good device, it mostly does what it claims. While this is a good device, I think it's a bit to expensive. Maybe if the speakers played music better it might be worth the asking price . The Coda comes with an adapter so you can charge it in your vehicle, and a mini usb adapter. I just used the same charger that I use for my phone, or the adapter for my Kindle. But it does not come with a wall charger which I do not understand. I would much rather have the wall charger than the usb adapter.
Not working as advertised

Pros: Good cooling solutions for all chips. Good layout of board and good options
Cons: The onboard lan does not work. I tried all of the new drivers. Also to get it to run in dual channel mode I had to put both ram chips in slots one and two. The manual says to put them in either slots 1&3 or 2&4. But when I had them in those slots it ran in single channel mode.
Overall Review: Wait until Rev 2.0 of this board comes out. It has some problems.
Very surprised at how awesome this product is.

Pros: I have the chance to really use it today. The power went out in my neighborhood for 1 1/2 hours today. This UPS kept my server running the whole time. I only have the server connected to it, no monitor or modems or anything else. But thats what its for, to keep my server from crashing and possibly destroying my server. And it works very, very well
Cons: Very heavy and very large. It was hard to get it up on the top shelf in a closet.
Overall Review: If you want to protect something from power outages or line fluctuations, look no further. This thing really works. I am thinking of getting the additional battery supply for this.
Fantasic for the Price

Pros: Upgradable, fast enough to do what you need it to do.
Cons: Just ok camera, poor battery life
Overall Review: I have had my Sero 7 pro for over a year now. I just today loaded Android 4.4.4 on it and it is working flawlessly. So even though Hisense has a very poor track record of supporting their devices, there is a very large aftermarket following that is supporting this device. If you go over to the XDA forums and do a search for the Sero 7 Pro you will find at least 4 different ROMS and lots of other tweaks. Mine has been very reliable. I use it EVERY day for hours at a time either listening to music or watching movies. Since the Battery life is very short, I always have some type of charging method handy. I have a car charger, backup battery and cords at work and home. Expect to get about 7 hours max with the wifi on just doing normal web searches. If your playing movies you might get 3 to 4 hours out of it without charging.
Battlefield 3 looks perfect!

Pros: Quiet and fast at the same time. I flipped the bios switch and overclocked using Sapphires Trixx software to 880/1375 and ran Battlefield 3 at Ultra settings for 3 hours. No glitches or flaws at all. Temps stayed around 64c with no problems. It idles in my case at around 46-48c.
Cons: Are you kidding? What flaws?
Overall Review: You just can not beat this card for the price and what it does. It's so easy to overclock and it takes a licking and keeps on ticking!
Great Ram

Pros: Great ram, works as it's supposed to.
Cons: Price dropped $25 a month after I bought it.
Overall Review: This is my second set of this ram. It is installed in a P6T motherboard. When I first installed this second set and booted, I was only seeing 3 gigs of ram. I took out the ram and reinstalled it. On reboot it showed up. It has been working great since then. I just wish I had waited a month to buy it because of the price drop.
