Advantages: Cheap, Easy

Disadvantages: Takes a long time

I have just decided to sign up for the mobile matrix scheme and hopefully receive bith a mini anda 40gigabyte ipod. Although this may seem to good to be true its not. My friend has just received his brand new fully functional ipod. This model which i have played with and borrowed great. It looks sleek it plays sleek and i couldn't fault it apart from maybe at very high volumes the sound starts to go a bit awry. The actual ipod is very easy to work with a toggle system and touch sensitive buttons that are very receptive. the clever thing is that you can also use it for transfering other files to a friends computer and no just for playing your music. The funny thing is at 40gb it has a bigger memory than the majority of computers. Although the faces of the ipod do scratch quite easily thought to remedy this one can buy a cover that clips on, the ipod with dimensions of 2.4, 4.1 and 0.7inches it is very easily slipped into a pocket and carried around with no hassle whatsoever. i actually saw a statistic saying the ipod could be played continously for 3 weeks 24/7 and only just run out of songs to play.


With the mini ipod apple have fitted all the decent features into this smaller version but, with only 4gb of memory. I think this is more than enough as I have 11gb of music on my phone and only listen to about 4/5 of it reglarly so this is a great option for me personally. Its dimensions are 3.6, 2 and 0.5 inches. this version off this website comes with a firewire and a USB 2.0 cable(as does the full ipod). On this website it only needs 15 people to sign up for the company to send out the next mini ipod. Sometimes the company even fills up the list on one side free.


The problem is that it takes so long for you to receive your ipod, this is because you sign up, go onto a list and then have to wait for 25 people to sign up until the next ipod is released. This company however also do mini ipods which is a much shorter list and also all the

brand new models of mobile phones, they even do a dvd tables that is book sized and can play dvds-genius.


You can move up the list through referrals from other people who sign up. This doesn't do anything to the person who refers but is completely optional and although the point of this review is not to get myself boosted up the list but, instead to open peoples eyes to what is out there, my referral number is 1702-1. This is completely optional but would be very much appreciated.

The actual website is www.fr33fones.co.uk however there are lots of these sites but , this one is relatively new and they haven't started advertising yet so now is the time to get in there and put your name down.


I don't think that this is a scam as I know people do get the ipods BUT, if you do sign on to the very bottom of a long list you could be in for a long wait.

So you don't currently own an iPod and have no personal experience of using one? Frankly, I see this opinion as spam.
