Adamantium Phone

Cellular Phone | Element X

So why #1? This phone is the most durable, dependable phone we have ever come across. Just as a test, I dropped the phone a few times off my desk, and not a scratch. The durable frame of the phone managed to take the fall and not break up at all.

In addition to the strength the overall service of the phone was excellent in all areas. Even underground we were able to get one bar out of five and the calls were still fairly clear. We did have the occaisional hiccup, but that's natural with cell phone service anywhere. In the end, the service was good, the phone is durable and the features of the phone were exactly what we were looking for.

Adding contacts with this phone is so simple with the "Add Contact Wizard" built in. Based off a database program, you enter information about a contact and you can tie that contact to other contacts such as family members, college buddies, friends, etc. Also media on this phone's media screen was bright and crisp with a full amount of colors.

Drake GPS

GPS Device | FindME Inc.

Ok so it is named after the explorer who circumnavigated the world, clever. In addition to the name, this product was excellent in terms of updating on the spot. The pinpoint locator in the device was on point every second we tried it. Using the directions feature was great as it listed alternate routes in case our main route was full of traffic. The display is in full color and graphics are in high resolution rather than pixelated, this can help read and understand the directions more clearly and efficiently.

ClearVizion HDTV

High Definition Television | HiDefAVision Industries

In todays television market, clarity and quality are very important factors when buying a television. HiDefAVision's ClearVizion HDTV brings a great new look to HD channels, movies and photos. With stunning 1080p or 1080i resolution makes all the images very clear and crisp. Another great quality of this television is its built in speaker system. In addition to the front, additional speakers are built into the sides of the television adding an extra surround sound effect, without surround sound audio. Our review crew, recently purchased the 46 inch model for testing and surprisingly the weight of the television was lower than expected and it is extremely thin for a large model. This is due to the wonderful wiring and LCD system built into the television screen.

DropPrint DP20 Printer

Printer | DropPrint Inc.

So why is a printer in our monthly Top 5? We tested and reviewed this printer over the last month, and ran many stress tests on it. Those tests were the main reason we added this product as our #4 top product of this month's issue. After an overwhelming amount of printing over the last month, this printer was able to take the stress and never let up. The pages were printed quickly and efficiently with strong and crisp colors. Another great feature on this product is the built in Wi-Fi ability to add a network printer without purchasing extra products. This was a great feature as it saves money and time buying a USB cord, even though a 3 foot cord was included for those who do not use a network. Overall the quality of this printer is much higher than others and is a great recommendation with its moderate price but awesome quality.

Reliadrive

External Hard Drive | BackitUp Corperation

There is a reason it is named Reliadrive as it symbolizes reliability. This external drive was one of the quickest and most efficient external hard drives consumers can find. Using a USB 2.0 cable most files were copied fairly quickly, faster than many other drives, and with little to no loss of data. Even better, with a FireWire cable, entire gigabites of data can be transferred lightning fast and with no data loss. The model our team tested was the 500GB portable external drive. This drive, the moderate level in price and size, we found to be the best value from BackitUp Corp. The dimensions of the drive do not fill up an entire side of your desk and is fairly thin so it can be stacked on top of each other easily. In addition, the price of the drive was another positive our team found. More and more consumers are buying external drives for backing up main drives or for important media, and this drive is one of the best out now.
