Samsung Galaxy S3 16GB White 3G Unlocked Android GSM Smart Phone with S Voice / Smart Stay / Direct Call (i9300)
Samsung Galaxy S3 16GB White 3G Unlocked Android GSM Smart Phone with S Voice / Smart Stay / Direct Call (i9300)

Pros: Beautiful thin phone. Well made. Fast. Smooth OS. Truer black than anything I've seen yet. Links to my Samsung TV.

Cons: None so far...

Overall Review: For all the people who gave low egg numbers because they did not do their due diligence. If you buy a phone without even looking at bandwidth T-Mobile currently supports in your area and the listed bandwidth phone supports, your Tech Knowledge is low. Does this mean it does not work for T-Mobile? Not necessarily. T-Mobile received influx of money from the failed merger by AT&T, plus they now have access to use some of the AT&T bandwidth. What this means is T-Mobile is slowly upgrading their towers to support these new bandwidth and you will be able to use this phone on T-Mobile data. Main reason for this is to court all the out of contract unlocked iPhones to their service (millions currently on T-Mobiles right now), and all the other unlocked phones just get lucky because of this. I was informed that this was done in certain areas already like Las Vegas, so people who uses these phones in Las Vegas should (please check before buying) be able to use this phone there.

Most Critical Review

Constant microdrops

Linksys Velop Tri-band Whole Home Wi-Fi Mesh System, 3-Pack (Coverage Up to 6000 sq. ft.), Works with Amazon Alexa
Linksys Velop Tri-band Whole Home Wi-Fi Mesh System, 3-Pack (Coverage Up to 6000 sq. ft.), Works with Amazon Alexa

Pros: Easy to set up. Supports ethernet backhaul.

Cons: Constant drops, nothing more irritating streaming a show from one room to another and getting dropped.

Overall Review: I do not recommend this until they fixes this drop issue. I really hope this is something that gets fixed on next update. Too late for me to return this or I would return it in a heartbeat. Spend this much for a system that constantly drops, I expected more from Linksys.

Too dim

Earthtronics/Honeywell L1ECOA198301BDIM 40 W Equivalent 8 Watt A19 LED Dimmable Light Bulb

Pros: LED bulb saves electricity.

Cons: This is not a very bright bulb, not very good for bathrooms unless you have at least 4 of these bulbs running.

Overall Review: One problem I have with every LED bulbs out there is it is not bright enough. Unfortunately it is the same with this.

Did not help with reception

Rosewill RNX-A2-EX 2.4 GHz Indoor Omni-Directional (2 dBi x3) Antenna Extender/ Design For Wireless N 2x3 or 3x3 Solution/ SMA Connector
Rosewill RNX-A2-EX 2.4 GHz Indoor Omni-Directional (2 dBi x3) Antenna Extender/ Design For Wireless N 2x3 or 3x3 Solution/ SMA Connector

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Did not work at all, reception actually is worse than before hooking it up. Took it off right away. Waste of money.

Overall Review: Listen to others who posted a review, this antenna do not help with reception issue. It is easier to reposition an antenna than a whole router, so that might be the reason it works for some people.

Not sure if it is working or not...

ESET NOD32 Antivirus 5 - 1 PC
ESET NOD32 Antivirus 5 - 1 PC

Pros: Easy to install, seems like it keeps itself update fairly frequently.

Cons: Not sure if it is working, have yet to catch anything...

Overall Review: I tried to trip the antivirus by going to some "questionable" sites and download some stuff, run the antivirus scan and found nothing. That is why I question if this thing is working or not...

Works great

SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 ST1000DM005/HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 ST1000DM005/HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Well built hard drive. My Tivo can only go up to 1TB, so I found this drive in Newegg. I should wait when it is on sale but I am too anxious to upgrade my Tivo space.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I bought this to replace my Tivo hard drive, everything went along without any problem and this drive works fine. So far so good.
