Guys, Was hearing a lot about NFC and want to try it out personally, so today got my few NFC tags and started using it. There is a very detailed guide available on cnet which explains every step in a very simplistic manner. Want to share some screenshot of tasks I am doing with it: These are the actions which I have set when I reach home. I have pasted the tag on my door and as soon as I reach home, I just put the phone near to the tag and all these tasks gets executed automatically. And these are the tasks which gets executed when I reach office. And these when I leave office: And here is how much time till now I have saved if I had done the activities manually! The possibilities are unlimited and you can also execute various tasks using Tasker!! I just started to explore it...... I am loving the little robot, a lot more

Sorry Dipan ji... I have to dis-agree with most of your points too... ====================================================================== That is actually a fault due to apple's choice of "FORM OVER FUNCTION".. IT IS NOT A SMALL MISTAKE to take it easily, imho... The UNUSUAL place selected for placing the antenna is a BLUNDER MISTAKE and user touching that area is NOT THE FAULT OF USER, as many users (esp left-handers) hold the phone on that spot... I agree it is not a defect of the phone... It is actually the defect of THE PHONE MAKER (phonemaker's decision to be precise)... I agree in each and every phone, if you touch antenna DIRECTLY there will be SMALL drop in signal.. So each and every cell phone maker either places antenna in two places (like Nokia in E71, in iPhone4S, etc) or atleast in places where customer rarely touches (extreme top/bottom) or uses laminate/shield to avoid DIRECT contact or combination of the three said methods... But in iPhone4 that antenna area was touched DIRECTLY VERY EASILY and it DROPS (not small drop like others) calls.. I have seen this in my friend's iPhone4 and the problem was very very much minimised after applying NAIL-POLISH on the metal gap (Laminate/shielding antenna)... This reminds me one proverb "First look at the dirt on your back... You can see others' later".. Yes, he demoed on HTC device, N97 and many devices.. BUT THAT IS NOT THE WAY people hold the phone usually.. But in case of iPhone4, the signal drop occurs even when people hold that phone normally (esp for left handers)... If that is NOT wrong, why its changed in iPhone4_Verizon and iPhone4S??? You are soo kind and less demanding to see these as good-will gestures... But what I want to say is "DID HE HAS A CHOICE AT THAT TIME?????" But, does this means only 5% phone's antenna is outside and all other phones have the antenna inside??? NO, if thats the case, it was a defect of phone and what we are seeing is the defect in phonemaker's decision... Then why that 5%??? It is because less than 5% people are left-handers... NOT exactly, but he is successful in making many people to think so, imho... [Thats another rant for another day] I 100% agree... Thats why I am NOT ready to agree it either, my friend... (And I think you are NOT referring to the Antenna when talking about BRILLIANTLY DESIGNED HARDWARE) But one thing, if JOBS was now here and he somehow approved these blunderful Maps (JUST AN assumption), I CAN SWEAR THAT HE WILL NEVER ask for APOLOGY.. ASKING APOLOGY needs combination of honesty, courage without arrogance, some cases -- necessity... Jobs had none of the above and Tim's reason is last one.. At the worst case, Jobs may say like "Even Google maps are NOT accurate in Antartica.. Nokia Maps are showing Andes mountains as flat.." But MINIMUM ATLEAST he would have blamed others like "TomTom (their Maps data supplier) cheated us with in-accurate data and am going to sue the hell-outta them.. Our data server has got corrupted and Maps will be corrected in next update" I am NOT saying Tim Cook is better than Jobs... He is asking apology NOT after he noted the blunders.. He is asking apology only after SOOO MANY users like Dipan ji and others started complaining/comparing him with Jobs and started saying "Tim is making apple ashame, After Jobs there will be NO apple anymore" (Though both are TRUE).. Both Tim and Jobs are EVIL and Tim is less EVIL than Jobs, imho... Why??? The question "Which is BIGGEST blunder? iOS6 Maps or Antennagate" is debatable [my vote to later] and may NOT have single/simple answer... But the answer to [Which is BETTER? Asking apology OR saying "YOU ARE HOLDING IT WRONG"] is simple and thats why these much rant... Again I repeat as SUMMARY:- 1. I agree iOS6 Maps is a blunder mistake 2. I beg to differ Antennagate is NOT a small blunder either (Bcoz more people use iPhone for calls than for Maps/Direction, imho) 3. I am NOT sure, if Jobs would have let iOS6 Maps out like Tim has done 4. But if point No3 done, he WOULD NEVER asked for apology as Tim, imho 5. I have explained Antennagate better and MORE HONEST than Jobs here

^ ask them to get your no. on CDMA RUIM (i think it'll be easy as your no. is in 10 digit format) and use it on Unlocked FWP/FWT.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Caution caution caution caution caution~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just read a post at xda about. guy bricking his phone despite using safe recovery and calkulins format all zip. Here is his post My suggestion try and avoid doing a wipe, stay put with whatever ROM is there in your phone., if at all you need to change ROM, use one click Odin files only. You have been cautioned. Sent from the DAD of all S2s - The Epic Touch.

I would not go for Airtel even if they give free.

Looking good and high tech. One question though... Can't all this and much more also be accomplished through this brilliant app: Tasker Instead of touching the NFC tag, one may just have to run the task and can be done on all androids without NFC also,

This should be awesome entertainment... Full Masala... Amit Trivedi's Soundtrack is rocking. Haven't heard such unconventional lyrics+music rendered in Sowmya Raoh's husky voice with Rani Mukherjee's thunder thighs picturised in good old south style. Sample This VIDEO.
