Pros: Cheap price.
Work just fine and are fast.
Perfect for small planes.
Long servo wire.
Comes with a variety of servo arms.
Cons: None really.
Other Thoughts: These are similar to the mystery servos. The wire on these are a bit longer. The servo arms on these are not compatible with the mystery 9g servos for those wondering.
Deal extreme sells smaller servos as well.
Buy a couple. It's always good to have some extras on hand so you don't have to yank servos out of your other planes.
Bottomline: These are a good deal.
Perfect little servo for all your micro/mini model

Pros: + Oh so cheap! Buy 5 as the bulkrate makes it the same price as if you bought 4
+ Clear lets you know if a gear is broken later on.
+ Blue is a classy color, but if you don't like it you can paint over it to make it whatever color you like.
+ Included control horns and screws are useful too.
+ Length on the servo wire is above average for a micro servo.
+ Very fast, with very little overshoot. I would say they are at least as fast as any other non-brushless servo.
Cons: - Was very oily out of the bag
- One of them had no grease inside the gears.
Other Thoughts: Wow, these are fast. They also overshoot very little, compared with other servos that I have used. Overshoot is what you call when the servo goes too far, and then has to come back a little bit to get to the real position. These maybe overshoot 1-2mm.
Also, I like blue. So I left them as is. However, some guys don't like that and they paint them black... I don't recommend that, as you will never get the paint to stick very well. plus, how can you see when a gear is stripped?
Bottomline: Buy it if you need a little servo for a micro or mini model you have. I am going to make a Mugi out of these.
Good quality, low price

Pros: It can satisfy most of the users with its quality. I tried it with my 1/16 scale buggy receiver and it worked without a problem.
For an information, its size and rotor diameter is a little larger than E_Sky EK2-0508 8G Digital Servo (sku.15233). I bought them together and this one suited to my buggy.
Cons: It comes with a nylon bag. I would prefer better packaging. Not another con at this time.
Other Thoughts: If you got Sportwerks Chaos 1/16 Nitro Buggy, this size of servo suit your buggy. I got one, I haven't mount it yet but I will change my steering servo with this one.
Bottomline: Nothing. It was hard to decide for me to buy this one or that; http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.20087 servo. I will try it later too.
Great Servo

Pros: Great micro servo, impressive price. The servos are lightweight, and they seen to be well-built too.
The provided accessories makes it good to lots of applications.
There are mounting screws too.
Cons: They seen to dislike human contact, but it may be a signal noise issue. As it can be seen on my video, they go nuts when someone is handling while its on.
Other Thoughts: Looks really nice, and might be good for any RC application. Get 5 and there'll be really good prices at bulk rate.
Bottomline: I can't see no reason to not get these cheap and useful servos. Go for it, should do the job!
