2 out of 5 stars GE 5.8 cordless phone.......2007-06-20

I have found no customer support for these phones - When we moved and plugged them in - they will ring but you can't answer them - cannot call out on them either. The ringer is irritating and there are only 3 choices.

1 out of 5 stars Stay away from this one! .......2006-11-07

We must have the worst bad luck when it comes to phones and this purchase did nothing to help that situation. There is only one ring tone, and it has an exceptionally irritating high pitched tone. Worse, there is no way to turn the ringer volume down, it's on or off and on is very loud. There is also a problem with the way the dialing works. Sometimes, it seems the numbers to not go through. You can see that you have dialed the proper numbers on the LCD screen, but the call does not go through. Particularly annoying when entering numbers for a PIN for voicemail for example, or following prompts from automated call services.

Extremely disappointed.

2 out of 5 stars Poor Audio, No Call Transfer.......2006-03-11

These phones look great. But one had poor audio, with callers saying I sounded like I was in a cave. The other sounded OK, but had a lag between when you pushed the answer button and when you could actually talk. Also, you can't tell someone to pick up the extension if the call is for them. Only one phone can be on at one time. The three selectable ring tones are all poor. I returned these phones.

1 out of 5 stars No Good!.......2006-02-10

These phones are ridiculously hard to hear. I have a daycare in my home and I need a phone I can hear over the dull roar of my house!! This one isn't it!

2 out of 5 stars Seemed nice at first.......2005-12-24

When I first got this phone set it seemed nice, but that quickly changed. The talk button on the handsets is so sensitive that holding it too tightly to your face will hang up the call. My wife and I have each done this at least a dozen times now. Also the phones redial mode is awkward, it is suppose to know long distance based on Caller ID but it fails to dial correctly half of the time. The phone sometimes will also "lock up". The hand set becomes unresponsive and needs to be placed on the base for a few seconds to reset itself. I am already planning on buying another phone from another company.

    SiPix A6 Pocket Palm Printer (Blue)

    Product Description

    The Pocket Printer A6 is a compact and lightweight mobile printer perfect for the on-the-go business professional. Easily print from your Palm Powered PDA or notebook computer. Featuring wireless infrared connectivity for use with infrared enabled devices, the Pocket Printer A6 is ideal for mobile computing. Print directly to the printer without using cables. And for non-infrared enabled computers a serial port is also included.

    Amazon.com Product Description

    Offering you portable printing capabilities, the SiPix A6 Pocket Palm Printer connects easily to either PCs or Palm Pilots. While it may not be as fast as your in-office printer, this little gem weighs in at less than 1 pound and churns out documents at 2 ppm with a decent 400 dpi resolution. Overall dimensions are scarcely larger than some wallets (5.8 by 4.25 inches), and the thickness is less than 1 inch.

    The direct thermal printing method means the only consumables are the paper and the batteries; if you use the AC adapter, your only expense will be replacement paper rolls. Run time with the adapter is a full hour, while the batteries supply just three minutes of power.

    Included in the box are both the adapter and a starter set of batteries, along with a roll of paper, a power cable, and a convenient travel bag. SiPix offers a one-year warranty that covers parts, labor, and 12 months of free telephone technical support.

    5 out of 5 stars SiPix A6 Portable Printer.......2005-01-30

    This thermal paper uses small rolls to print on - requiring no ink. It's small, lightweight (except with 4 "AA" batteries) and can receive data via its IrDA port OR serial connection. This did not work with my Jornada 680e but did with a iPad 19xx so it may not work with older PDAs (though, it was designed to work with Palms). You *can* use it with a desktop or laptop but you simply cannot install the drivers and "voila!" The properties of the connection between the printer and computer must be manually modified for it to work properly - but when you get it to work, it's perfect. I use it to print receipts and it is absolutely fantastic. I suppose the only "downside" to it is that paper for it is pretty expensive...the starter rolls aren't going to be enough to do much with so plan on looking for CUT or ROLL (preferably) cheap.

    1 out of 5 stars NO DRIVERS.......2004-04-03

    I was very disapointed by the fact that this printer is not compatible with any palm OS 5 enhanced devices (such as the Zire series, or tungsten sreies) Bummer. So if you have an older handheld with below 3.0 OS or if you have higher than 3.5 it simply won't work! I hope this information helps you.
    I really have no Idea what the printer is like considering I can't use it perhaps I van someday

    4 out of 5 stars SiPix A6 & Dell Axim X5.......2004-03-14

    On impulse I bought the Sipix A6 printer, brand new,(for a mere 19 bucks!) after checking it's compatibility with my invoicing software -Lowfat Invoice. However, I DID NOT check whether there were any known issues with the Dell Axim X5 and I was unaware of the wonderful people at AXIMSITE.COM.

    Soooo, the unit arrives. I giggle. I Take it out the box, pop in the CD and there were only drivers for 2000/98/ME and Palm. %$!!&#! I'm running XP Pro and PPC 2002. I google and search for drivers. I found these: http://www.sipixdigital.com/support/PocketPrinterA6/drivers.shtml and I'm printing in XP - Woo Hoo! Load the CE drivers, attempt to print from LowFat - nuthin. %$!!&#! I made several attempts of removing and reinstalling the drivers, even changing the location (SD Card, main memory, built-in storage) -all, to no avail. Then I spot a thread response in Aximsite Forums by zipidydoda that recommended removing all the expansion cards and reloading the drivers. So I:

    1) Remove my SD Card and the compact flash card
    2) Did a soft reset
    3) Put it in the USB Cradle
    4) Used ActiveSync to remove the Sipix Printer Driver (if you get an error stating that a file is still loaded in memory you may have to tap> Start> Settings> System> Memory >Running Programs> Stop all - however, doing a soft reset before this step should help you avoid any errors)
    5) Did a soft reset (after taking it out of the cradle)
    6) Put it in the USB Cradle
    7) Reinstalled the driver (location provided above)
    8) Turned Axim off (after taking it out of the cradle) -this was also part of the instructions provided by Sipix
    9) Turned Axim on
    10) Print from A6print (tap > Start>Programs> A6print -it is best to choose a small txt file for quick printing)
    11) Voila !!

    So I'm printing -Woo Hoo! I try it in Lowfat -same error as before "Unable to Establish Infrared Link". What?!!? Just as I was about to chunk the thing -I thought long enough to calm down and approach it as if it were an error on a desktop. Since it's the IR port that's not jiving, I thought it could possibly be a transfer rate issue. I go into Lowfat> Tools> Print> Advanced> More Settings. There was no setting for IR Port Speed and the one for the Serial Port was defaulted at its lowest settings. I unchecked "Alternate IR Connection" and "IR Buffer Adjustment". Prayed -attempted to print...

    Thank God!!!!! I'm printing -not only can I print with the A6Print and A6Capture utilities but I can print from LowFat Invoice too!

    Sorry this was so lengthy but I didn't want anyone else to have to spend a whole business day trying to get their Sipix A6 to work -or worse...give up. I hope this helps somebody.

    God Bless,
    Axzym

    5 out of 5 stars Super pint-sized printer.......2003-11-04

    I have just bought this printer, and let me say, it is the best device that I have bought for my sony Clie. I am running Palm OS 4.1, and it works great. I downloaded the IRprint and Doctoprint combo demo from IRprint.com. It has good quality print, for pure text. The only problem that I have found is that it is sometimes hard to get a perfect lineup between the IR ports, but that might just be my handheld. Overall, I would say, go out and buy it. It has a definate cool factor. If you need a printer for documents to go, sheet to go, or any of the built in palm apps, get this one!!

    1 out of 5 stars May be great for Palm or laptop, Lousy for Pocket PC............2003-01-05

    Will not work with the new Dell Axim or most 2002 version of Pocket PC. Sipix has said "They are working on the problem" for at least a year that I know of. How hard would it be to write a driver for these handhelds? Tech support refuses to reply by e-mail and only by phone which takes 45 minutes to connect. Works OK with laptop and other than the paper only lasts for 20 printouts per roll and the curl is hard to get out it works good.

    Make sure if you buy one of these that you can send it back if it won't work with your device.
