Site Review: Touch-Phone.co.uk

One of my friends in Cardiff recently offered to buy me a phone from UK. Over here (India) phones are not available on contract basis, making the touch phone a niche item and owing to the customs and excise duty, the price increases multifold. Knowing how to unlock phones in India he was fine with the idea of buying a phone that is bound to a contract in the UK. He asked me to choose a suitable plan and the contract. Sitting here in India I went through all the service providers over there. I had a hard time finding good options. Somewhere while keying in queries like - Samsung Touch Phones, Touch Phones pay as you go, Cheap Touch Screen Phones, I crashed on to http://www.touch-phones.co.uk/.

Overall the website has feature to customize the phone according to one’s monthly payment. I was able to search by manufacturer, model, and tariff. It also shows the top mobile phones which are being bought by other users. I was not much convinced with the website’s authenticity. Frankly speaking I doubt whether a user would actually buy a phone from this website. The website looks a bit shaky. But i really liked the feature to browse phones based on the contract options. That ways it’s really easy to compare different phones keeping in mind a specific budget. However the utility which enables one to find a mobile phone deal on the basis of tariff is quite handy. I personally would think twice before buying a mobile from this website simply owing to its shoddy interface which looks amateurish at the first glance. This would probably lead users to quickly navigate away from the web page without actually getting to use its handy features. A nice clean template with an attractive clear-typed menu would serve the purpose…

Protecting Portability: Netbook cases 

The other day when I bought my new Acer Aspire One Netbook, I found that needed one or the other way to protect the thing. The netbook is an awesome and I just don’t want that to break because of shear negligence. So I open up google and google for Netbook Cases.  Reading blogs, forums posts reviews; I thought it’s a waste of time. I wanted something which can narrow down the search for the netbook cases. While searching I stumbled upon the site GearZap (Link at the bottom of the post). The site defines itself as one stop shop for netbook and laptop accessories.  It’s a good website which deals in things related to netbook and laptop accessories. I found lots of compatible netbook cases of my tiny little Aspire one. You can search for cases depending upon their size,color , price, manufacturer and style. You can also get hard drive cases from the online shop. 

Spoiler Alert! - Fashion people: there are lots of item that I’m sure you will pick up from the website. Nice cases which wide range of colors and style. Take a look the website to find the suitable ones for you tiny pc. 

Redefining Portability: Accessories for Laptop and Netbook

Also while surfing GearZap, I came across various Netbook Accessories and Laptop Accessories.  The site categorized menu such as cables, headphones etc. I was pretty much impressed with the brands they had and the price was reasonable too.  So if you want to buy anything ranging from batteries to hard drives; anything related to laptop and netbook I suggest you give a visit to GearZap.

Site Review: Qype.co.uk

Ever wondered the best way to find places around the globe? 

A data store which gives you more accurate information about the local hotspots?  

It is known as Qype.co.uk.They collect data and reviews from its users for everything from restaurants  and hairdressers to plumbers and legal services.  The plus point of this data store is the customer review. Real people, real reviews: this came to my mind when I checked out qype. Qype is all about sharing experiences and swapping recommendations for the best and the worst places or services around the world. 

After registering on the website which is damn easy! I found out about the following features.
A Registered member gets access to a directory to search for businesses, read ongoing discussions on existing entries.  To make it easy for users to browse the qype team has created categories from eating and drinking to pets etc. Features such as adding reviews, or comments to a discussion are only available to verified accounts which is albeit free. Other features such as tagging, private messaging, friend lists, forums or communities are also present.

Also qype supports creation of new places, uploading of photos and reviews in German, English and French.

One of the great features that I liked at Qype.co.uk is the listing the local events on the website. Depending upon the popularity of the event among the users the event is classified and ranked. So if you are new to London you can just log in to qype and check for an awesome local event, visit the event and cherish the memories of that event for your life. 

Summarizing, qype is a good tool to find out about places. I would recommend a user to go through qype from a tourist point-of-view.  Qype lets you find out about local places and their rating in a split second making it easy to make up the mind hehe… 

So next time you key in queries like indian restaurants london, hostels london, cinemas london on google, you might want to give a look at qype.co.uk.
