First step, first post!

July 8, 2009

pragueBeing my first post on this blog, but not my first one in the world of blogging, I didn’t know if to start “working” from the first minute or to take a minute tell you a little something about myself…

I guess that the most important thing anybody should know about the GPSreviewer (that’s me:) is that he likes gadgets, devices, phones, GPS and all other kind of navigation  systems.

So that’s why I’ve decided that it would be a good idea if I start writing about them also and do something useful for others in the process.. that’s where the reviews and comparisons come in.

So, if you need an opinion about one of the products mentioned above, you came to the right place.

LET THE REVIEWS BEGIN!

PS: I’ll try to be as professional and objective as possible
