After months of waiting, numerous rumours & numerous discussions on the specs, the next flagship phone from Samsung is revealed in a live function in London tonight. The specs more or less same as the recently released Samsung Galaxy Nexus expect mainly in processor part. Here is a quick walkthrough of specs of Samsung Galaxy S III: General: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, UMTS 850/900/1900/2100 MHz, HSDPA 21 Mbps, HSUPA 5.76 Mbps; 4G (regional)) Form factor: Touchscreen bar phone Dimensions: 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6 mm, 133 g Display: 4.8" 16M-color HD (720 x 1280 pixels) Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, Gorilla Glass CPU: Quad-core 32nm ARM Cortex A9 1.4 GHz processor, Exynos 4212 Quad chipset GPU: Mali-400MP RAM: 1GB OS: Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) Memory: 16/32/64GB storage, microSD card slot Camera: 8 megapixel auto-focus camera with face detection, touch focus and image Connectivity: Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth 4.0+HS, standard microUSB port, Battery: 2100 mAh, removable! Misc: TouchWiz 4.0 UI, DivX/XviD codec support, built-in accelerometer, multi-touch input, proximity sensor, gyroscope sensor, Swype text input, RGB light Here are some Images: Here is quick walkthrough video of Samsung Galaxy S III :

You must be very lucky to have a faulty electricity meter. If that's not the case, immediatelly approach Guiness Book.

Hitachi claims a more moderate 30% power saving for inverter ac as compared to 50% claimed by panasonic. Both are in comparison to a 5 Star rated ac. There is no dispute on whether inverter ac will save power, question is how much? Let's assume the lower 30% energy saving rate for our calculation. I could find the following online prices for Daikin A/c's.. Daikin 1.5 ton invertor split ac Rs 44,700 Daikin 1.5 ton 5 Star Split ac Rs 42,200 Daikin 1.5 ton 3 Star Split ac Rs 34,750 Let's assume a 1500 watt power input for a 1.5 ton 5 star split a/c (Typical). That comes to 1.5 Unit per hour of operation. Hp's usage is 8 hours a day for 6 month a year. Assuming Rs 7 Per unit rate in Maharashtra, the energy cost per month comes to Rs 2,520. With 30% saving in inverter ac, it will be Rs 1,764. So a saving of Rs 756 per month. Incremental cost of Daikin invertor ac compared to 5 star is Rs 2,500. So the payback period is approx 3.3 months after which savings actually start. Further assuming DK's cost of Hitachi 1.5 ton 5 Star at 34K and HP's Panasonic invertor 1.5 ton at 45K, the difference is Rs 11,000. Payback period for an inverter ac in this case for HP's usage should Rs 11,000 / Rs 756 = 14.5 Months after which actual savings start. Since ac's are used for atleast 5 year by normal people, prima facie, inverter ac does make sense and should save good amount of energy cost. HP, calculate the above figures with actual price of models you are considering and you have the answer.

I take it for granted we are discussing Split ACs here. My own tuppence worth. 1, Check whether the condenser coils are copper or aluminium. The latter may corrode faster in a coastal area. 2. Check if you can get R410a in place of R22. R22 is banned after 2022 as per the Montreal Protocol. See how quickly R12 vanished. As far as I know Daikin and General (not O general as it is often referred to) have R410a units. My experience is that unlike window units splits often need some topping up after 5-6 years. 3. Daikin is the best there is closely followed by General and Panasonic. Hitachi are more reputed in Window units. So in cockney, "You pays your money and takes your choice". I have an 11 year old Videocon 2TR unit whch will be replaced by a Daikin or General before next summer. 4. One advantage of Inverter units is that you choose as per the standard rating, but get advantage of the peak rating for rapid cooling. Also, Inverter units do not require stabilizers. 5. The star ratings were updated this year (scan of advt attached). In the market some people are still selling using the old ratings.

hey Maverick : first : i had updated you that yours is official reliance and this will get messy coz i remember my data was gone rather always vanishes whenever i use Eh19 on my fassy. your issue is pretty common , if you can access your dial pad by any means then follow Sunil's method or follow this ( i guess both are same ) 1. Press Emergency Call 2. In the dialer, dial: *#83786633 3. Then hit send. 4. Then hit the Home key. Done! TBH it was a year back when i had this issue , just in the beginning when i had purchased my fassy, so i cant replicate or update the exact process as i dont really remember the details. and just do one thing instead of flashing and re-flashing , just forward all ur incoming calls to some other number and then go about it , give it a few hours , i mean so that we can troubleshoot you , most of us are online in the evening, so do it in the evening and wait till night , one of us will surely come to the rescue ( as we were rescued when we were in ur situation )

The prices quoted to you are much on higher side. No need to go in for Inverter technology. A 5 star rated unit will be quite close to it and better cooling than it. Best Split AC at the moment is HITACHI. It is 5 Star Rated, 1.5T and will cost you 34K all landed and installed. Go for that for total peace of mind.
