OPPO 980H or 983H?? Should I wait for the 983H at $400 or just go with the 980H at $170?

Brit ... do you watch non-Region 1 DVDs? If you watch DVDs from other regions, the Oppo DV-980H is a good buy. If you watch only Region 1 DVDs, and do not need the DV-980H other capabilities (SACD, DVD Audio, High Res. JPEG, DivX, etc.), consider getting the Toshiba HD-A30 or the HD-A35 HD DVD player. These two models are actually HD DVD players but upscale SD DVDs (slightly) better than the DV-980H. These 2 models have the same ABT video processor used in the DV-983H, but sells at a lower price as HD DVD has been discontinued. Boot up time of these 2 models is longer than the DV-980H (its about a minute) but you have the added capability of playing HD DVD movies which are now heavily discounted, some selling for less than SD DVDs. I have both the DV-980H and the DV-981HD, and both are very good models. I am certain that the DV-983H is as well built as the 980 and 981, with a bit more improvement on the video as well as the audio. I have both the HD-A30 and the HD-A35. Both are very good HD DVD players. Both are also very good DVD players. Were it not for the discontinuation of the HD DVD format, these 2 models would sell for much more. I understand that Toshiba's production cost in mid-2007 for the HD-A30 was for approx. $400, while the HD-A35 was for approx. $500. Both are built like a tank. Getting the HD-A30 for less than $200 is a very good bargain. The HD-A35 with its more advanced audio capability is also a good bargain despite its premium over the HD-A30. That said, the DV-980H has capabilities that the Toshiba HD DVD players do not have. If you have need these or have some use for these, then you can't go wrong with the DV-980H. Good luck. Edit: The price of the Toshiba HD-A35 has gone up from $230 to $300 shortly after the post above so its no longer as good a bargain as before. The HD-A30 however remains a good buy under the conditions described above.

Just bought the KDL46-Z4100 B online for $1687 with no tax and no delivery. You just have to wait and do your research. The prices really dipped immediately after Christmas and there is apparently an LCD screen oversupply in the market so prices will likely dip a bit before coming back up. Also, Sony is in the process of really trying to penetrate the market with the XBR series so the prices are coming down on the models lower on the "depth chart".

i think s95 is compelling if u want better pictures and control. since s95 has the bigger sensor (better pictures) and the PASM (better control). but really, the 4000 is a true P&S wif some kick-ass hardware baked in.

I was at Best Buy for a special event, and there was a Samsung rep there. He told me the A950 is still there flagship model. The differences in the two are back lit vs. edge lit LED's that why the b8000 is so slim. While the b8000 has a faster refresh rate (240 to 120) the a950 has dynamic contrast where the set is constantly scanning to give better blacks. Oh, and I think there's one more HDMI port on the a950 than the b8000 if I remember correctly. I did ask the rep if there was a 9000 series coming out. He said there is one in the works, but wouldn't say when. I'm thinking late fall in time for Christmas, or next year in the spring, but that's a guess. If anyone knows a exact release date for the 9000 series please post. I'm leaning toward the a950 for a few reasons better blacks because of the dynamic contrast scanning, and on the b8000 I did notice while watching at Best Buy the set did bleed light from the edges in letterbox. (The black bars weren't completely black. Kinda bugged me.). $4000 vs $3600 for the a950 plus three yrs. interest free at Best Buy this week. I may pick one up, unless Amazon has a better deal going.

I bought an extra handset from Amazon.com (search for CIT400H on amazon.com) - the phone works great. I see they are out of stock now on Amazon.Interestingly, the extra handset has iPhone on the back (from the whole bruhaha between Apple and CISCO/Linksys about who had the right to use the name iPhone).

Well, I'm still interested in buying but for no more than $435. I can live with what I got so far. For the same current price I will be able to buy a new model, whenever it comes out. Just not worth paying full retail for a not the latest model.

Lol...it is crazy how reliant I have become on this thing. Make no mistake the N1 is a monster of a phone, very fast, zero lag. I am in the process of getting an HD2 also with the hopes that the power will make windows mobile bearible until someone hacks android or windows 7 onto it. I will be selling either the HD2 or the N1 once I have a chance to mess with the HD2 long enough.

I was going to buy this one too, but if the price stays over $400, I'll get the Olympus XZ-1. The main benefit of the S95 for me is price!

Vishal, do you have an online store? I am interested in Nokia n95 8gb version. But I checked some sites and it says the battery is the BL5F instead of 6F. Please respond to me at esracik@hotmail.com and let me know if you have a store online. I am also looking to purchase a SE W960. Thanks.

look at the price and decide, both of them are great cell phones but not are for the same market

FWIW the current product status page shows a 'real' shipping/in-stock date of 10/26! Although ... as I understand it, price fluctuations are only honored if the pre-order was made 30 or less days prior to the ship date. That said, Amazon does seem to have a fair price on this device, assuming it's the US-3G version! And I'm personally waiting for the N85 myself, but might end up being tempted to get this N96 if the N85 continues to be delayed (US version)

I purchased the OPPO 981 for my 58" Panasonic Plasma 1080p (TH-58PZ750U). Superb!The suggestions for selection on OPPO's website suggest this is the one to use.

Look up the new LG it runs around $ 1200. Price will be dropping with time.

I returned this model for the 9300. The 9800 model has been discontinued. Same TV, better software operating system. My son who watches much more tv than I do tells me this is the best passive 3D he's seen.

try to google some comparison for the two device.. there are lots of review on those two phones... and as what i see.. n900 has more potentials and it wins on different categories.
