Good clean fun, 2008-12-28
Comment: Iv had it just over a week and it is realy good fun, it works with my phone my camera and my laptop, so there is endless fun to be had. Printing is easy and is clear and sharp, as long as the picture is in the first place, as with any printer. The pictures are big enough to have fun with finding new and random places to stick them for people to find.
Overall happy with it, if you want fantastic prints go to a photo shop but for instant little pics it's great. On close up pictures the quality shows up being less than average but on slightly more distant pics it's great.
Well worth the money and is a good addition to anybodies electrical arsenal.
Well done polaroid for another great instant photo invention.
Lots of fun, but know what to expect., 2008-12-06
Comment: If you're thinking of buying the pogo, you should know beforehand exactly what you're getting.
As it currently stands, the printer is more of a fun/arty toy. I have a polaroid izone, which was great fun when I was able to get film for it, and if you've ever owned one then you'll already have an idea of what to expect. The pictures aren't large (2x3 inches) but I really like that, they'd be a perfect size to keep in a wallet if you wanted. The sticky back is handy, and I've found that it won't peel paint from walls when removed.
The cost of paper means each picture should average between 20p and 30p, the cheapest I've found works out to 21.4p each.
The printer itself is larger than I expected at roughly 120 x 71 x 23mm, but that's still a very manageable size.
You shouldn't buy the Pogo if you want professional quality prints; the colours aren't totally accurate (in my experience, dark red/brown may come out a little pink-ish and in most cases colours won't be as vivid as the original) and although I don't know the exact DPI equivalent, it's certainly not going to rival a photo printer.
Depending on why you buy it, however, these points may not actually count against. The quality of Polaroid photos was always a little different anyway, that was the cost of immediate images and this printer is no different. I actually like the colours being a little abnormal, it seems more authentic.
Bare in mind that since the colour reproduction is reliant upon the paper rather than the printer, there's always the possibility that Polaroid will bring out new paper and maybe even firmware updates to complement it, though that's entirely speculation.
Not for everyone I guess, but I love it!, 2008-11-06
Comment: Ok, so if your priorities are brilliant image quality then don't buy this.
I already have a great printer for that, the problem is I never get round to printing my photos from my camera, let alone my mobile phone!
It is a lot of fun printing off photos. Really easy to set up my mobile phone (check on polaroid's website to see if your mobile is compatible, most are). Ive printed off some photos from old mobile phones that i forgot I had taken.
The paper works out between 39p and 22p a photo depending on where you buy and how big a pack you buy so shop around as thats a big difference!
A great gadget.
Two weeks later - still no pictures, 2008-10-18
Comment: I have digital cameras, PDAs, ipods, iphones, laptops etc but I have never had a device as frustrating as this. The first thing you should be aware of is that it ships with almost no instructions - just a few pictures. You can try the polariod website but you won't find much more help there. There's a blue "smart sheet" you have to insert with the printer paper that says the printer will not work without it and chides you to keep it on the bottom of the 10 pack of paper - the first thing the printer does is spit it out so do you put it back in again ? I have no idea and neither will you whether you read the online manual or not. Neither is it clear which way up the paper is supposed to go. I'm going to try and get a refund on the basis that it clearly fails to live up to its promise of "Enjoy instantly, anywhere". Good luck !
The most fun I've had in years, 2008-10-15
