Thanks guys for the compliments ! Good to see that you have figured it (inline edit, not online edit !) by now. Yeah, both the Ajax based in-line topic editing and in-line post editing are really cool features especially for the moderators ! Ah, sorry about that, I thought he was referring to sharing the license. And his idea of using a free messaging board *now* added to my confusion. Thanks for the kind words, anyway I do not want to go for a donation campaign. I'd be more than happy if members would spread the word about RIMweb and just keep posting in the forum Nice to hear that, Rajan ! The announcement was done only after the forum was updated to the latest version, even though the license was applied by a few days ago. The upgrade was done by IPS staff. As I've mentioned in my first post, we are still working on the Skins. Once the work with the skins gets completed, it will be announced in this thread by a moderator. You may post your issues other than Skin related problems in this thread for now.

I have my eyes on this thread everyday and whenever it gets updated by a member. I review each and every suggestion from every member in this thread, and thats for what I have opened this thread. I would be commenting along with my decisions (as a reply to all members suggestions), towards the end of the contest (which is on December 23rd). This is our first contest and no changes (in rules, prizes, etc.) would be done for this contest. All your suggestions/comments would be considered for future contests, as I've mentioned earlier. Rather than a poll, I need specific comments and suggestions from the members. And you need not shout it out here in block letters to get our attention.

still doesn't give a clue for me ?

Its a single domain perpetual license which comes for US$ 185 Couldn't get you actually. Can you be more specific ?

Thank you for taking part in the RIMweb Lotto Contest - Birthday Special ! We have now closed this contest as 50 members have claimed their number slots already. The 15 winners will be announced in this thread on December 23rd, 2005. You can post your feedback regarding this contest, here. Thank you !

"Sim-clock-stop" doesn't apply for CDMA handsets

I saw the show too yesterday night, and he did mention that it may not work with all operators as the 'bug' could have been plugged by most operators already. When the handset is in "Sim-clock-stop" mode, some operators do not log SMS sent during that time.

damn, only if it was available for normal customers, at R.99 per month it would have been perfect for me.

continued... How it works: Typically, if you need to look at your e-mail on the phone, you can do one of two things - get onto the internet site and retrieve it, or go to Microsoft's Outlook (or any other software offered by the phone maker), sync the accounts and, again, retrieve it. Each time you do this, it could take anywhere between half a minute to as long two to three minutes. But push mail offers amazing flexibility. Your mail pops up on the screen pretty much like an SMS message, whether it is from your office or from a e-mail internet site (like Yahoo!) that you have configured. And you can access e-mail anywhere around the globe, reply, even open attachments just like you do on your PC. You can also remotely update your address book as well as your daily diary. To get your corporate mail, of course, you need your office to set up a server. Blackberry, which pioneered push mail, has 77 per cent of the global market for such mail. But at the moment it is fighting a messy legal suit with US-based NTP Inc, which has claimed that the technology behind Blackberry infringes on its patents. A settlement offer for $450 million by Research in Motion (RIM), the company that runs Blackberry services, has been declared invalid. Airtel executives say the case is subjudice, but that whatever the outcome, it won't have any impact on its services in India. Where does CDMA stand? CDMA companies are addressing the affordability issue by offering regular e-mail services at rock bottom tariffs. Says Mahesh Prasad, president (applications and solutions group), Reliance Infocomm: "I don't think customers will pay over Rs 100-150 to get e-mail services just yet, unless it is paid by the company." Last month, Tata Teleservices launched a corporate e-mail service for Rs 30 per month with no limitation on downloads. Says Pankaj Sethi, vice president, Tata Teleservices: "Our aim is to provide the service on phones priced as low as Rs 6,000-7,000 and used by the common man." Tata Teleservices is testing a push e-mail alternative too, but hasn't decided on its launch yet. Reliance Infocomm has gone a step further, structuring tariff based on usage. Every time you check your e-mail account, you pay Rs 3 for an unlimited session. That's even more attractive than SMS. Says Mahesh Prasad, "Every month, 1,25,000 to 1,50,000 users have been using e-mail services from Reliance IndiaMobile handsets." Nor is the company ignoring the corporate e-mail space, having made it available on 9 million phones that have R World. It is offering corporate e-mail services for Rs 99 a month with unlimited downloads. Customers have three alternatives - they can read the header and the sender of the mail; they can scan through the first para; and, of course, read the entire mail - all at no extra cost. Could this be the way to expand the mobile e-mail market?

And the easiest way for such lay users is to upgrade their hardware !

You may not have seen these before... Image 1 Image 2 Image 3 Image 4 Image 5 Beta testers say the interface is defenitely better than Gmail ! And this is interesting, something like Tend Micro's House Call: Windows Live Safety Center !

Hello there and welcome to the forum ! Unfortunately, there is no way as of now to upload ringtones/wallpapers to LG RD 5130 as the MMS method doesn't work anymore and Bitpim doesn't work with 5130 !

Can you post a screenshot where it shows the error message ? and which browser ?

May I know which skin you are using and what happens when you click the ADDREPLY button or NEWTOPIC button ? Are all other buttons working for you ?

Your main partition can get affected when virus are downloaded to your second patition. Viruses can even affect the boot sector and your entire hard disk can be prone to the virus. This isn't a wise solution at all

LG RD 6230 could be officially launched by Reliance by next week. Price should hover around Rs.8000

Here is a beta version for RIMweb Search using Google Google currently has 625 pages indexed from rimweb.in - I'm now trying to implement Google Sitemap Generator so that Googlebot can crawl through the whole site efficiently and that should mean more indexed paged.

R-Connect doesn't have anything to do with the spywares. The same will happen with any ISP that you use unless the ISP uses firewalls or other protections at their end, which may be opposed by some users, as sarath pointed it out. What you need to have in your PC is an anti-spyware software to remove those spywares and then use a firewall-antivirus combination to keep your PC protected, rather than blaming it on the ISP.

Keep your fingers crossed ! Nokia 6265 could be launched by Reliance by February 2006.

Please find attached the product note for the new Nokia 3155 CDMA to be launched by Reliance this month. Expected market price is around Rs.8000. Product_book____Nokia_3155_.doc

ADAE group set to overhaul its branding and communication TIMES NEWS NETWORK [THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2005 02:48:01 AM] Post-split between the Ambani brothers, the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Enterprises (ADAE) group, led by Anil Ambani, is working on a massive project to overhaul its branding and communication strategies in a bid to shed Reliance’s image as an industrial house and get more consumer-centric. Anil Ambani who inherited the entire customer facing businesses — Reliance Infocomm, Reliance Capital and Reliance Energy as part of a settlement formula that saw the establishment of ADAE — has roped in international brand guru David A Aaker of Prophet brand strategy to study and review the brand equity of the current businesses and give them a more consumer-centric focus. The mandate is to develop a brand image that will equal that of other consumer-oriented brands like mobile handset maker Nokia or financial services major ICICI. Corporate observers call it one of the largest corporate exercises undertaken. “We are re-evaluating the current brand image in the minds of the consumer. The idea is to revitalise the brand and get the consumer as its most important focus at any given time. Every interaction from the brand, right from its equity should be consumer-facing,” said Sanjay Behl who recently joined Infocomm as head of branding. The emphasis on branding is not surprising. Anil has always been media savvy and was the face of the undivided Reliance Industries. Also, despite the huge ad spends, Infocomm’s advertising does not have the class or chutzpah seen in the advertisements of rivals like Hutch where the ad with the pug won rave reviews. Reliance Infocomm has taken the help of either celebrities like cricketer Sehwag or actor Paresh Raval or focused on the pricing factor with emphasis on the 40 paise talktime at the time of launch of services or the Rs 501 phone at the time of the Monsoon Hungama offer. To an extent, the “unclassy” look may have been deliberate. As Reliance was a late entrant in the mobile phone market and with its plans of being the biggest mobile phone operator, it went about marketing the mobile phone to the man on the street. Hence, the advertising had to communicate affordability more than anything else. While Dhirubhai Ambani was the best brand ambassador that Reliance could have, the advertising could have been better packaged, industry observers say. Even before Anil took over the mantle at Infocomm formally, the industry had been expecting him to focus and overhaul the image to get out of the ‘501’ image. Anil has done so with a vengeance. Infocomm has already inducted former Levers’ man and Nokia marketing head Sanjay Behl as head of branding and Airtel’s Nalini Gupta as marketing advisor. The revitalisation of corporate identity is not limited to Infocomm alone. The entire ADAE group which includes companies like Reliance Capital and Reliance Energy will be part of this exercise to “revisit the consumer connect philosophy”. Ajay Kakkar has been roped in from Ogilvy & Mather as head of marketing, Reliance Capital, which is also consumer oriented with its interests in mutual funds, insurance, etc. “The Indian financial services industry is growing by leaps and bounds. In no other category is the competition so intense. The mutual fund industry itself has 30+ fund houses vying for the investor’s share of wallet,” said Mr Kakkar.“The money indicates just how important the selection of the right name and image can be in ensuring a company’s success. The new economy is a huge potential for all companies,” said a senior official of a strategic consultancy firm. Currently, Infocomm is working with Saatchi & Saatchi and Ambience. It is now open to working with multiple agencies for its various customer segments. Incidentally, the ADAE pitch is also being hotly contested by multiple agencies. “Consumers’ expectations have changed. If old economy companies try to operate the same old way, they’ll fail,” said a senior brand consultant. Utility marketing and branding is an entirely new field in India. “Just like FMCG, durables and services marketing have very unique nuances, and we are looking to strengthen our utility brand building effort to partner with the agency who is most capable of scaling up learnings quickest. Each of our distribution areas is a huge operation by itself and each will have its specific challenges — therefore, we are keen to align with the agency who could deliver on the local challenges,” said Yogendra Vashishta, head of branding, Reliance Energy. In a fiercely competitive market, the ADAE group is clearly trying to seek the attention of the fickle consumer and secure their loyalty. Will the new look ADAE group click, only time will tell. These companies are now owned by Anil, which came to him as part of a settlement formula hammered out in the last months, which saw the establishment of Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Enterprises (ADAE) Group. From now, Reliance Infocomm is an ADAE company. Utility companies are working hard on treating consumers the way they should be. The Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Enterprise group is set for a brand overhaul in a bid to be seen as a global consumer company. Internationally, utility marketing and branding has emerged as the latest specialised sector, report Kala Vijayraghavan and Rajeshwari Adappa Thakur. Agencyfaqs.com reports... Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Enterprises group has decided to call for a separate creative as well as media pitches for all its companies, which include Reliance Infocomm, Reliance Capital and Reliance Energy. Confirming the development to agencyfaqs!, sources at ADAE said, “We will call the agencies for a presentation very shortly.” While the company declined to comment on the size of the business saying that “it would be one among the top three spenders in India and the spend would be higher than that of FMCG companies.” As per industry sources, the size of the business is estimated to be more than Rs 100 crore. At present, the entire Reliance Group is handled by three agencies – Mudra, Saatchi & Saatchi and Ambience Publicis. Post-split between the Ambani brothers, the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Enterprises (ADAE) group, led by Anil Ambani, is working on a massive project to overhaul its branding and communication strategies in a bid to shed Reliance's image as an industrial house and get more consumer-centric. The ADAE group presently consists of Reliance Infocomm, Reliance Capital and Reliance Energy. While Mudra handles the Reliance Capital and Reliance Energy businesses, Saatchi & Saatchi and Ambience Publicis work on Reliance Infocomm. Ambience Publicis takes care of the corporate account of Reliance Infocomm, while pre-paid and post-paid are handled by Saatchi & Saatchi. According to company sources, Mudra will not be hit much since it handles just about 5 to 10 per cent of their businesses. The group has already hired additional creative talents to take care of its various customer facing businesses. Former Levers’ man and head, marketing, Nokia Sanjay Behl has been given the portfolio of head, branding, Reliance Infocomm. In addition, Nalini Gupta has been roped in as marketing advisor, and Ajay Kakar, as head of branding, Reliance Capital.
