Saxa Table Salt

Having owned a Sony Ericsson W800i for over 2 years and forever on the lookout for a suitable replacement, I finally found the W880i.My main demands from a phone are not great. They are as followsFirst and foremost, it must work well as a phone.Second, it must be stylish. An attractive design.Thirdly, it must be a good music player.Fourth, it must be intuitive to operate.Fifth, it must interact with my Computer adequately.Sixth, useful other functions.The W800i ticked all but the last box for me the Sony Ericsson PC Suite software is truly terrible.The W880i however, makes leaps and bounds.First as a phone, it works admirably. The signal strength is consistently good, the quality of the vocal reception is excellent, the volume of calls is great. I cannot fault it. ... MoreHaving owned a Sony Ericsson W800i for over 2 years and forever on the lookout for a suitable replacement, I finally found the W880i.My main demands from a phone are not great.

An attractive design.Thirdly, it must be a good music player.Fourth, it must be intuitive to operate.Fifth, it must interact with my Computer adequately.Sixth, useful other functions.The W800i ticked all but the last box for me the Sony Ericsson PC Suite software is truly terrible.The W880i however, makes leaps and bounds.First as a phone, it works admirably. The signal strength is consistently good, the quality of the vocal reception is excellent, the volume of calls is great. I cannot fault it. Battery life is excellent this is something that can be said for practically all Sony Ericsson phones these days.Second as a style icon, it is a master of form triumphing slightly over function. The only downside to its design is the size of the buttons, which take some getting used to. If you have have chubby fingers, steer clear of this device. But if you have normal fingers hehehe once youve adapted to the spacing, youll get on fine. The size of the phone is just right, and it is an awful lot thinner than its predecessors. Saying that, its just the right side of thin for it to not feel too thin, but it is not so thick as to look like an ungainly bulge in ones pocket. The construction is solid as a rock, with no squeeks or loose bits. The front is metallised while the rear is a rubberised plastic which makes for a grippy nonslip surface very handy, and quite unique.Note that this phone comes in two colour formats. Silver front with a black back, and Black front with orange numerical keys and an orange back. I chose the BlackOrange variety as I wanted something a bit different. It certainly turns heads of people who have never seen one before.As a Music Player it trumps the W800i with ease. Coming with a capacious 1Gb M2 Memory stick it can store plenty of tracks. The Walkman music software is up to version 2.0 now and works faster and more reliably than before. There is a small dedicated Walkman button on the side of the phone to shortcut launch the Music player although this only works if the phones keypad is unlocked. Once playing you can lock the keypad and use the adjuster toggle on the other side of the phone to adjust volume up and down, or if you hold it in up or down then it will skip tracks forward and back. I much prefer this to the old W800is rocker button arrangement, as it means you can just flick it up a couple of times in your pocket without having to get a grip on the button. The sound quality is superb through the admirably good quality supplied canal earbuds which come with 3 sizes of fitment to suit different ears.To operate, I have been an increasing fan of Sony Ericsson user interface. Having been lumbered with the use of many phones from all different manufacturers, and I can easily state that Sony Ericsson have by far the best and easiest user interface for their main line of phones. The simple icon layout and intuitive menus require little brain power to decipher. Everything is where you would expect it. The screen is clear, bright and easy to read. The supplied Themes and graphics are of a good standard. The supplied ringtones are acceptable, although I find it preferable to use a Music Track that I have stored on the Memory Card as my allocated ring tone. Texting works well once youve gotten used to the keys, and in Predictive mode it seems to have gained a degree of extra helpfulness, by remembering sentences you have used recently to help save you time on reentering. Also, when you send a Text message, it frees up the phone and continues to send the message in the background, instead of hogging the screen while it sends.And heres the biggie. PCinteroperability. I am happy to say that Sony have made some advances in this sector, and whilst still not up to what I would consider to be the standard Nokia PC Suite, the new version of Sony Ericssons PC Suite works. It actually works. Thats an improvement right there over the old one, which I consistently had to reinstall every time i connected my phone. The layout of the new program is more userfriendly, and things appear to be laid out in a logical manner. Depending on what task you want to conduct will instruct the phone to either stay in its current state, or restart in Mass Storage mode which deactivates the phone temporarily whilst the phone deals with certain tasks. This I found a little unusual, but as it worked, Im not complaining. Music transfers still take an inordinately long amount of time, just as previous. But then if you choose your music wisely, you can save yourself the hassle of going through that routine too often.As for other functions, it has 3G capabilities, so it has a camera on the front as well as the back. The main camera is 2Megapixels, although it has lost the Autofocus and illuminating light facilities of the previous generation. While some may consider this a major loss, if youre like me and only use the camera for very very casual snapping, it is of no concern. The remaining fixedfocus unit still takes perfectly good shots, but you need to be in good light.The W880i has also had to sacrifice the FM Radio. Again, some may consider this a loss, but as Id had the W800i for 2 years and not once listened to the Radio, I knew this would not concern me.There are a couple of basic games, but these are of no interest.On the whole, its a very impressive phone and I am delighted with it, and to sum up, if your main priorities in a phone are Style and Music, this has to be the phone for you. If you demand more from your phone, like a more featurepacked camera or the ability to use other applications, I suggest you look elsewhere.Criticisms are as follows Keys may be too small for some hands No FM Radio No light for camera Fixedfocus camera Sim card is REALLY hard to get out once youve got it in. Invest in a pair of tweezers to increase your chances of getting hold of it again.Pros are as follows Great design, slim and sturdy Functional and easy to use Excellent music player Impressive battery life Generous 1Gb supplied Memory Stick M2 Decent provided stereo earbuds.

I have had many other phones in the past year like the Samusung U600, Nokia N95, Sony Ericsson W810i, Compact 3, Samsung X630 but at last I believe Ive found the best phone yetI needed a phone for personal and business use. Originally, when the W880i came out I didnt even think about buying it because I didnt believe it had what I need but I was wrong.The W880i is the slimmest handset Ive ever had, it looks quite stylish and fits into any pocket. Unlike the N95 which was quite big, I enjoy the compact W880i.The W880i can hold upto a 4GB memory card so plenty of storage for music, files, etc...Im sure you all know that Sony Ericssons are great for their battery life, the W880i is very good. On average, I charge my phone up ever 7 days and talktime of around 8 hours ... MoreI have had many other phones in the past year like the Samusung U600, Nokia N95, Sony Ericsson W810i, Compact 3, Samsung X630 but at last I believe Ive found the best phone yetI needed a phone for personal and business use.

Meets my business needs during the day, and a stylish and elegant handset in the evenings.

Big bottle and can be used for ages.I bought this to make some salted eye yolk. I use the method where it uses a lot of salt but the eye yolk can be ready in 3 days in normal traditional method it takes weeks.In case you are interested this is how to make them, very simple. Fill the salt about 1cm in a dish. Separate the eye yolk for the white and place in on the salt, be careful no to break the eye yolk. And then pour the salt again to cover up the eye yolk. Place it in the fridge for 3 days and dig up the yolk. Wash it under the sink and it will look like a yellow jelly crystal. You can eat it with porridge

A big salty mess!

As a previous reviewer, this does not travel well. The entire contents were in the carrier bag, the kitchen floor and the other items in the bag. Maybe Ocado should consider sending this in a smaller clear bag. Looks like I will have to buy my salt from a shop rather than with the ocado shop. Ocado...please sort this issue out!

Lid off, salt over floor

Amazed to see other customers had the same experience as me - thought mine was a one-off! When the salt was delivered, the lid was off, salt was inside the bag, over other groceries, and lots of salt ended up my carpet and inside my slippers! Think I'll give this product a miss till Saxa improve the packaging

Lid was off; half the contents in carrier bag.

This was a substitution. I notice that several other reviewers have complained about the same thing. Obviously the reviews aren't monitored properly, or else the issue would have been sorted by now.

Meh

This is going to sound stupid but it's not salty! Compared to the cheap smart price salt, this type seems to take loads to achieve any saltiness and I end up putting loads on just to taste it. It seems strange but true!

Salt already dispensed (spilled in carrier bag!)

The salt, like some previous reviews have stated, had poured out into the carrier bag. Only around 1/10th remained in the container since the lid had come off. One would consider this to be poor handling by Ocado (thrown into the bag ending up sideways, rather than placed upright as one would pack a shopping bag), but it seems that the Saxa packaging is also poor, the red lid not able to withstand a knock. Both companies equally liable.

Saxa Table Salt 750g (12 x 750g)

This phone is both stylish and classy. It comes with a 1GB memory card which holds quite a lot of songs and the walkman sound is sharp and clear. The camera is only 2 megapixel however, the picture looks just as sharp as my standard digital camera. Other reviews have mentioned that the keys are quite small for texting, but I dont have a problem with this at all. You get used to the keys quite quickly.Overall, Im really pleased with my purchase, I love this phone it was worth every penny, and Id recommend it to anyone...

poor packaging

Lid had come off, almost entire contents had gone everywherein the bags, all over the other shopping and over the carpet! What a waste, and this appears to be a very common problem which no-one appears to be addressing.
