Sorry to have removed two of the posts here .... lets have a clean forum cheers ashok

The services can be barred on using a Non- Vodafone Handset during the term of the contract. Check the fine print at the time of purchase ... know about these nitty gritties from the Vodafone T&C elsewhere - like UK. Similarly GPRS services will be restricted - a walled garden ... lets see if these terms will hold true in india - if yes ... then really sad else it is amazing !!

Motorola HS BT820 . get it from France or Italy ... TIM network handsets are sold with it

Congrats big man !!

Hutch man ... esp if it is a corp plan ! cheers ashok

Its now not just restricted to the Phones .. .guess what even Bluetooth headsets and even the normal in ear headphones have the same history ... fakes in the market ! lolzie cheers ashok

N95 anyday mate ... it rocks from all possible sides! its like being on dope when u use it re ! cheers ashok

Happy Birthday Arun !!!

Moto HT 820 is available around 3250 /- odd.. (ebay)

Try the Moto HT820 - the sound quality ROCKS!!!!

Update done ... yeah ... nice update - but TOO FREQUENT crashes - the phone restarts every few mins for no rhyme or reason ! (and yes I've got a way to beat Nokia at their own game - connect to nokia update server everytime u opt to upgrade hehe ) Downloaded maps for India and UK, awsome GPS locking .. I do not have an active SIM card - so even without a network (so no AGPS assistance was used - the phone took about 65 seconds to lock in the location - pretty fast for a non dedicated GPS device. (Garmin took about the same time give or take 3-5 seconds). But the difference here was that instead of the normal tri - cordinate used in GPS all across (which I believed was used in n95 too) it seems it is using a penta-cordinational access - 5 goddamn satellite positions !!! but accuracy is amazing - to the last 22 meters near my house (new bombay - not really clear on the map) and upto 4 meters in Malad and Mumbai city! The firmware upgrade sure boosts the speaker performance as well - about 1.5 times louder than before ... The only issue I have been recurrently facing is the crashes and reboots ... as and when the phone decides - did not have that issue with my older firmware ! The firmware is a definete yes if battery performance is being observed. Earlier the phone gave me 10 - 11.5 hours of standby (considering 3 hrs of music / radio, photography, about 0.5 hrs of internet over wifi, a few VoIP calls (about 0.5 hrs) and about 30 mins of attempting to connect to the GPS satellites). But with the new firmware - with a very similar usage I've got about 20 hrs of standby - almost close to double !!!! which is astounding by all means. One jackup that I've recommended to nokia is the auto-rotaion of the screen that is not there when the slider is shifted from music mode to default position. Also got a Iphone to fiddle around - locked - with the AT&T USIM ... Someone got 2 of them one with a plastic touch screen and another with a glass touch screen - the plastic one is with me all mine to try and fiddle ... another awsome phone - but battery life s**ks re !! lets see whats in stock ... anyway I'm using a corporate plan from hutch now I pay Rs. 199, first 350 mins at 0.30, after that hutch numbers at 0.30, other mobiles at 0.50 and landlines at 1.00. STD at 2.24. SMS local at 0.30 and national at 0.50. Clip and Itemized billing free for life. seems decent enuf for GPRS i'm using BPL prepaid SIM card - where for Rs. 49/- /month u get unltd WAP browsing / downloads... Cheers mates Ashok Karkera

Useful info!! anyway I have a iphone in accessiblity .. lets see if I can make anything out of this info hehe cheers ashok

Naa. .. I guess I need to update the firmware ... my Device Software Version is : 11.0.026 date : 17-04-07 RM-159 Nokia N95 (D1.01) thats about the info hehe any guessess where I can get the upgrade for the firmware ?

Hi Puneet, Even I've just moved out of RIM yesterday ... got a N95 (with preloaded India Road Map) .. Getting a corporate Hutch connection - again ! also picked up a E70 - another cool handset ... The GPS is just awsome ... walk out ... slide out the keypad .. wait for the Sat pic to come without a cross on the bottom right corner - and boom - u know where u are !! man .. it rocks ! Already modding the handset a little ... got a Moto Stereo BT headset for AADP (A2DP) audio - useful on my bike .. the cam is awsome .. except that the W/B correction is sad ... maybe they'll fix that in the next version .. as of now that is not a big concern since I have a Nikon D40x (10.2 MP DSLR) hehe .. so .. keep us posted about ur new job and more highlights !! cheers big man! ashok

most of the magnets used here are weak and not quite capable to actually impact the phone / memory etc ...

I would recommend u to take a Classic or something of the kind rather than reviving the old beauty re

Do not presume so ... on the contrary ... I've found a lot of missed calls when my mobile is in its cover (yeah ... it is a leather pouch that latches over with a magnet) maybe it gives me a better signal coverage ... not quite sure though cheers ashok

Hi, I've faced the same issue (especially when the phone gets overheated). It had happened quite a few times with my phone as well ... Turn off the phone (Remove the battery) - go to an A/C room / Car (A/C) and after a few mins of cooling down ... try to reinsert the battery and turn the phone back on... It worked quite a few times with me. Guess it meets your requirements mate .. cheers ashok

Hi vishal, The sync happens as direct contacts ... not PST. This is the standard for almost all sync tools released recently cheers ashok

Can I recommend the Nikon D40x ? The cam just rocks man ... it is a DSLR and if u love photography - this one is sure for u ! I plan to kick out a few of my old phones, digicams, handycams and maybe my DAPO connection - and pick her up!! The photo quality just ROCKS !! and with a Tamron Superzoom lens - I do not need to give an explaination !! lol cheers ashok

Hetals tool had almost all to match and was free ... forget this _

MVP Speaks! hehe .. yeah coppernico - we love peace - and prefer to have the forum clear of trouble. No harm intended - Though possible - I would recommend you to buy original software - or hey ... we've got Linux too... Closing topic. if you feel that this topic needs to be reopened - please PM any of the Admins / Supermods / Mods
