I bought this high capacity battery for my recently flashed (and battery sucking) Sprint Mogul. The standard battery is 1100 mA. This battery would have given me 50% more battery time. The battery I received had electrical contacts on the side. The Mogul requires contacts on the top. There's no modification that will fix that. It dropped right into my wifes T-Mobil Wing but the slide-on door wouldn't quite slide on. I was able to shave the inside of the door with a razor blade and get it closed. The moral of the story: I will be ordering the Seido because I don't want the extended back.

The maps on this unit are from 2004 and 2005. There is no update available for them. Consequently the GPS is constantly showing your position in the middle of a farm field or telling you to drive off a cliff. The Canadian maps are all off by at least 1000 yards, so even when you're on an existing road it doesn't know where you are. The manufacturer has been promising an update since 2007 and it has not and most likely will not ever show up. So unless you have money you want to throw away, don't even think about buying this item. 0 stars!

It worked one month then started having problems would not let me put addresses in it without crashing and restarting itself.. Do yourself a favor do not buy this.

I've long been a big fan of Garmin GPS systems. I've sold a lot of them in the past, and never had one come back because a customer didn't like it or because it didn't work. I consider them one of the finest GPS makers in the world, and highly recommend their products to anyone that is looking. But when it came to looking for a unit for personal use, I ignored my own advice. I was shopping based on price, which is normally not a great idea since I firmly believe in the "get what you pay for" mentality. But during my search, I came across this unit for just $99.99 (even cheaper here on Amazon!). That's an absurdly low price for a portable GPS, so I started reading. This Jensen is a no-name brand, no frills GPS unit. It does not have Blue teeth, it does not announce street names, it does not have a picture viewer, and it does not (so far as I can tell) have MP3 capability (although it does have an SD card and a headphone jack, so maybe I'm just missing something. In any event, those features are just fluff: the important thing is the GPS. What the Jensen does do is offer everything you expect of a portable GPS. Voice commands (without street names, though), various routing options (avoid highways, avoid toll roads, etc.), automatic route recalculation, etc. One thing I do like that I have not seen elsewhere is the option to turn recalculation off: when I first got it, it was set to ask what to do when I went off route: recalculate, delete route, etc. This is a nice option, since other units I've used chime incessantly informing you you're off route. I like being able to pull off and make a stop without having to fight with the GPS. The GPS also has a night mode, with more subdued colours, so as not to distract the driver. You can even set this to come on automatically based on GPS position and sunrise/sunset times. Very slick (in theory - I haven't yet tested it). It does all the same tricks as any other unit I've tried: typing in my street name, for example, it came up automatically as soon as I'd entered the first two letters. It also has an option to warn you if you are speeding, assuming the speed limit data is programmed for the map... You can even set the percentage over the limit you want before it warns you. I haven't tested this feature yet, but it sounds like a neat trick. It comes with full Canadian and US maps, including Hawaii and Porto Rico, a car charger (it also has an built-in battery), computer USB cable (something missing in some more expensive units!), dash mount, and windshield mount. It also includes a stylus, which is unnecessary but a nice touch nonetheless. All in all, I think at $99 it's a steal of a deal. I found one other GPS for less, a clearance item at Canadian Tire for $79 made by Magellen, but it didn't have US maps. If you've been considering a portable GPS but put off by the price, I think this is really worth your time to look at. The price and feature set cannot be beat, as long as you're okay with some of the fancy features like Bluetooth found on more expensive models.

I could not tell you if this product was any good because DCA online mall never delivered it. Dispite the e-mail I sent them a week ago, they have not replied.

The NVX200 is wonderful for the price. It's small enough to fit in convenient places without taking up too much space, the level of detail in the map is flexible...2D or 3D. The best attribute is the ability to charge it like you do a blackberry. You don't need a special power supply. So it's easily adaptable. The voice can be changed to male or female as well. You can connect it to your PC to save data or music for playback. The device software is upgradable, uses Microsoft CE operating system. I love it!

This product is pretty cheap but seems to be working ok. The fit wasn't totally right for my iphone but I managed to squeeze it on. And I dropped it once and the case fell apart but didn't break so I was able to put it back on but it seemed to defeat the purpose of protecting the phone in case you accidentally drop it. All in all, you really do get what you pay for. Not sure if I would ever buy this product again.

I basically needed a cover for my iPhone and it did the job. It comes off quickly when i drop it and there is no cover for the actual screen but besides that it is just fine.

I am relatively certain this case was made using only the cheapest of materials available. It also appears to have been constructed by a three year old Chinese kid who is chained to a table for 18 hours per day. Don't waste your money. This case broke the second day!

The item clearly says that this is for the IPHONE. Of course it won't fit the iPod Touch!

This is not for the IPod Touch 2g. I just got this 5 minutes ago and I'm printing the label. I'll be sending it back tomorrow. This doesn't fit the IPOD touch 2g. The Ipod moves around inside the case. It's so unsafe and opens easily. Maybe the wrong item was sent. I don't know I'm returning it.

If you are looking for a basic rubber cover for your iPod this is nice.

Don't waste your money, the cover doesn't fit and it just is not a good buy. I guess you get what you paid for.

this seems to work and fit well, its a great deal for the money compared to the "big box" stores

Unless your taking sissors and scraping the thing, your iTouch is pretty safe with this cover!

I ordered this product. It took a long time to arrive but when I emailed the seller they refunded the entire amount. The product is fine but a little big for my iPod.

This little camcorder is good for convenience sake. It does the job, records the video and records the audio well enough - but you get what you pay for and if you want something for "important" things then spend the money and get a higher quality camcorder.

I'm a ten year old boy and I got this for Christmas. It can pause during videos which is nice. It can flip open so you can see yourself if recording yourself and it is easy to use. It just runs out of batteries somewhat quickly. It can even connect to most computers so you can save longer videos on the computer and E-mail them to friends. I would recommend buying this camera.

I received this pocket camcorder for Christmas 2009. I was able to take videos within 5 min of opening my present. The video's that I took are priceless. The resolution was great and the indoor shots were amazing since some were taken with low light. Trying to hook up the camera to Play Station 3 was disappointing since there was no sound, but great video. By the way, the camera's USB arm is somewhat flimsy. However with care it serves it purpose. I am able to stick this camcorder in my pocket. I did receive a carrying case that was just great.

Got this for Christmas last year so I could take pictures on my senior trip! Didn't take many pictures on the trip though because almost Every picture turned out blurry and the video is just as bad! Oh and one of the screws fell out the first day I had it! It is a pain to hook up to the computer only redeeming thing is that you don't need 50 cords for that! You can't choose anything to remove all the pictures and videos from the camera and if you have a lot there is no way to delete all from your camera unless you keep hitting delete and get lucky enough to get the delete all media, otherwise all needs to be deleted manually which is always a treat! It is cool if you wanna take a picture of yourself though because you can turn the screen so you can see yourself but otherwise its a hunk of junk!

Don't buy this camera unless you are a complete techie or want a bad headache!! The software DOES NOT WORK. I have a camera full of videos and no way to download them. Would have given it 0 stars if that was an option.

Didn't take me long to figure out how to plot routs. When I found out the maps were from 2007, I wanted to update to 2009. Jensen / Audiovox say there are no updates and will be no updates for this unit. That's probably why the price drop. Glad I didn't buy this unit, got it as a birthday present. Might continue to use it for the year, but will trade it for a better brand that does have yearly map updates available.

This is definitely the best-kept secret in GPS's on the market. This is the second Jensen I have owned and it is loaded with high-priced features. For around $100 brand new it came with Street Name directional guidance, picture viewer, movie viewer, reads books, and even has Bluetooth. The volume increases with your speed and background noise, and it even has an external antenna jack even though it doesn't need it at all. But, I like that because I wanted to get the best performance possible. (Can't find too many with that feature anymore) On the negative side, the maps are two years old but that doesn't bother me at all because I don't see that many changes in Denver that affect me. Also, if you want tech support, you won't get it from Audiovox or Jensen. That's too bad but, again, the pros far outweigh these two cons for me. If I lost this one tomorrow, I would get another one just like it without batting an eye. Where can you get all this for $100, and it's built to last, not a plastic toy. I know Audiovox makes some good products but I suspect they just never figured out the marketing end or put enough into it. Thus, these great products come and go. Too bad. Grab one of these before they're gone.

I bought this GPS from 6th Avenue for 98$, compared to a 97$ tom-tom that was on sale (the tom-tom was a very low end unit, and I was told was worthless). My first run through was pleasant. I can see why people were saying the menu's are obnoxious, but if you take a minute to understand it, they all make sense. Adding POI's is easy, unlike what people said, just a little hard to find. Simply find the address on the map, then go to POI, Add POI. Sounds easy, right? The TTS (text-to-speech) was little hurtle. There's a language setting for "Samantha TTS", that's the text to speech enabled voice. My biggest qualm and disappointment: Maps. Not because they don't update (they're from 2007 BTW), but because there's a ton missing! It claimed to have all 50 states, Canada, and Puerto Rico. In reality, it has: All states A - S, excluding Alaska and Hawaii, Canada, and Puerto Rico. So, Vermond, Washington, Texas, Tennahasse, Wyoming, all of these states are missing. Anything after "South Dakota". And just for funsies, they also neglected Alaska and Hawaii. I've tried downloading the missing maps and putting them onto the GPS via Microsoft ActiveSync, but to no avail. It just didn't display them at all. Probably a database thing I need to change. Now, you have to understand, I'm no technophobe, and I understand how most of this stuff works, as well as how to work around things, but this particular GPS unit is NOT WORTH YOUR TIME. HOWEVER! If you don't intend on going to the aforementioned missing states at all (or at least using the GPS there), this unit is VERY well priced for the options it provides you. It functions nicely, has a nice recalculate feature, and gives fairly good directions out of the box. It's a bit obnoxious not to be able to save a route, or easily set up a custom route, but it only takes about 10 minutes to set up an entire trip using via points. If you do own this system, best of luck to you. If not, stick with a Garmin or a Tom Tom. And don't think you can be thrifty and get a high-end looking GPS for under 150$. That seems to be the price point on good/bad products of this nature.

There are no map updates from Jenson and there never will be. These maps are at least 2 years old, so unless you live in a downtown area of a city and never plan on traveling to any suburb anywhere anytime, then go for it. Otherwise, total waste of money. What's most frustrating is that I actually prefer the user interface of the Jenson to that of my TomTom - but the latter provides downloadable map updates and fairly easy user interface.

I purchased this gps unit and I didn't care for it. Features were very confusing. Navigation font is too small for me. Not designed for gps dummies. I returned this item and purchased a garmin 760....much better for ur money

This GPS was made in 2007 but does not allow many street numbers present for many years. It misidentifies roads and sometimes routes you incorrectly. It tells you to take nonexistent exits and turns. It has frequent software errors that require restarts only possible by cutting all power. Update 1/3/09 Audiovox (Jensen) responded to my complaint as follows: There are no map updates available yet and we do not have a precise release date at this time. The best thing to do would be to check the Audiovox web site from time to time for availability and cost. Audiovox is not responsible for the mapping software. You can report missing map information, incorrect routing and other mapping problems directly to the mapmaker online at: [...] So they intend to charge for updates if ever available-good to know when considering purchase.

I own this GPS. It does tell you what street you are turning onto, if you read the instructions and set it right. It is a bit bulky but for my non-tech savvy wife it is great. Youcan do almost everything withour the stylus expect type in the address. It is a bit dated on the streets but with all of the construction going on what model isn't. It is great for the price and if you don't mind the size.

Thumbs down all the way. I bought this and had to return it within a week. I have used many GPSs Different brands and models and this is the worst. It was constantly hanging, and I had to reset it everytime. RESET - not just power off-power on. Lost signals regularly. Once I was driving on a straight tree lined street (about 2 miles) and it kept recalculating the route every 50 yards or so... Bulky. Worth no Stars. Do not buy it.

The chip is way outdated and the GPS does not identify the street you are to turn on.

I recently purchased one of the GMRS / FRS / GPS tranceivers. It works great. I have one of the original Magellian GPS's from the days when they first came out. It has many of the same features however, the speed of finding GPS sattelites is much faster. Also, the radio features work great.

Great product, has a great radio and a easy to use gps. If you are thinking about buying a gps. Think: is it easy, does it have everything i need, and is it at a good price, Well this has it all.

Much like a computer, the GPS manages to freeze and crash the system. Though it easily starts back at the same place by turning the unit on and off, the freezes are all too frequent - perhaps this is version 1.0 of the software. I would not buy it for the GPS portion of the unit. On the radio side, I have only used the FRS portion so cannot comment on the GMRS portion of the radio. It seems to work, though on the FRS portion, it certainly has no more range that my Motorola Talkabouts.I believe the editorial review is out of date or incorrect. The FCC license is $..., not $.... It was changed on September 10th, but that was before the Audiovox was released by three months. ....

Unit offers many conveniences in a single handheld product. It is great to use as a tourist, in the car/boat or camping. It offers communications cabilities w/o having to pay per call, and GPS with memory usable as a bread crumb trail....if only Hanzel and Gretel had. I have used in the city when travelling with groups, and was able to keep in touch, and find each other easily. The product claims 5 mile range, and clearly states your range may be less in certain areas; but, I was able to keep in touch while in a few major cities....in cars on freeways separated by over 3 miles, and on nature trails separated by more than 3 miles, according to onboard GPS w/o any difficulties. The unit has a convenient fold away antenna. The display has a lot of information displayed w/backlighting so it is easy to see at night or in car. The unit requires 4 batteries however, and life is sufficient but if communicating a lot....the batteries do not last for a whole day...but then again it is easy to carry extra batteries...especially when you have bought a product that actually works.Minor issue, the piece is a little on the heavy side w/batteries, but a convenient carry case for the belt is offred, or it can be carried within a backpack. Obviously this isn't something that everyone would use, and the UI offers many features....the UI, requires a little time to get used to but once you do.....you don't need a manual to remember, as many icons are used. I really reecommend the case as it will certainly help protect it if it is dropped (as I have done), and the case prevents the units deisplay from getting scratched or wet. I have given this 4 stars as I don't believe anything short of extraordinary deserves 5. It's functional, performs well....and surprisingly as advertised....rare in todays techno-babble oriented consumer electronics industry. It is not for the faint of heart, who just wants to play with it....it should be used by someone who needs one...otherwise it may be considered cumbersome, in a nutshell.
