Digital camera reviews of RCA RM2100 MSNTV Internet Receiver
Digital camera Review: great for a start
Summary: 3 Stars
I have had my webtv for a year now and like most others who purchase it I am ready to move on to the computer but I would reccomend MSNtv to anyone who is just starting out on the internet and only needs email and to surf the web(it also has instant messenger) but If you want all the bells n whistles do yourself a favor and get a computer When I purchased this I needed a way to stay in contact with family and friends who live far away so this was perfect but now my needs have changed and there are a lot of websites I want to visit and the Msn tv cant get access to these websites because it isnt up to standards this product is okay but you will get bored with it sooner or later probably soonerDigital camera Review: slow, but easy; expensive, old name 'webtv'
Summary: 2 Stars
this is the old 'webtv' that everyone knows. it is slow compared to other internet items; its either 33k speed or 56k depending on which you buy; the custoner service is ok but LONG time on the phone on hold; the price is about $$$ a month on a credit card, thats the Only way they ley you pay. i got tired of the monthly credit card bills so it sits under my couch now for 2 yrs. i am now using cidco email device with earthlink, for $$ bux a month, all paid up for a yr., in one payment. otherwise a fine item for the internet-frightened, to get started.Digital camera Review: too basic
Summary: 2 Stars
Purchased this item for the elderly parents as an alternative to the expensive PC system we'd bought for them to use for web and e-mail - and which was too complicated. This system seemed simple enough and covered all my parents' needs.We were very disappointed. This unit IS simple to set up and easy to use. However, this unit is truly basic. It runs an outdated version of Internet Explorer (version 3 or 4). The home screen feels old - the closest equivalent would be the original version of Prodigy back in the late '80's.
More importantly, because it runs an antique version of Explorer AND has no memory, many web sites won't load or will be missing large chunks. If you want to read foreign language newspapers or sites - forget it - this system has no extended fonts.
This system has potential, but they need to upgrade the software. I would not recommend purchasing this item unless all you want is e-mail capability; you will find it frustrating if you use it for web-surfing.
