isnt it possible to have some sort of a time delay wherein the server automatically chucks a login if the user has been inactive for more than 5 minutes ??? im sure it should be possible ...

have any of u noticed this probleb ... when ur playing tic tac toe, u login and get connected to a user and then nothing happens ... nothign at all !!! he doesnt respond and doesnt make any move ... probably hes just quit without logging off ... wish they had some kinda software improvement that would detect idle logins and not connect them onto players

i agree that the cost reduces ... but c'mon ... isnt 50 a little toooo cheap ? :'( i'm sure they're getting it for a dirt cheap rate ... but def not 50 ... look at the components inside the phone ... dont tell me all that put together can come upto 50 ... however large scale the production

hey one thing i can try ... sounds odd ... works but. spray some deo on a piece of paper and clean the metal contacts behind the battery when its still wet ... u'll c all the oxide coating on the metal coming out and ur contacts will shine ... do the same on the charger ... u shouldnt have the blinking light problem then ... i've done it twice so far ...

i too have that charger ! if u wanna get charged fast, then the only way out is to connect the charger, then switch off the phone ... dont switch off the phone and connect otherwise the phone turns on by itself when u start charging !!! i know its very ittitating ... no way out !

Reliance dumps private couriers The country’s largest mobile company, Reliance Infocomm, has dumped the private couriers used by it to deliver customer bills, and has instead opted for the services of the good old government postal service. The company now has bills for all its seven million subscribers nationwide delivered by the Indian Postal Service by regular post. The department of posts takes between three to four days from the time the company dispatches them to deliver the bills to the subscriber’s doorstep. Reliance Infocomm sends out over five million bills every month. It previously employed local courier companies in each area of operation, says a company spokesperson “Earlier plenty of our bills failed to reach the destination and remained undelivered. But with this tie up, the rate of undelivered bills has drastically reduced. We are aiming at a zero rate of undelivered bills,” says a Reliance Infocomm spokesperson. The company says that it chose the postal service because of its large network and has achieved substantial cost savings by using ordinary post. “We have strict delivery schedules and the best part is that the postal department sticks to it. Their service is efficient. The bills are not dropped under the door but given to a person at the subscriber’s house. Undelivered bills come back to Reliance and we follow up by calling subscribers and informing them about the same,” says the spokesperson.

those guys dont know anything ... i think some of our ppl from RIMWEB will be able to doa better job ! im sure we would be able to solve thousands of simple problems which the average user faces ...

Reliance Info, Qualcomm pact likely March 31, 2004 19:39 IST Reliance Infocomm Ltd is expected to enter into a technical collaboration with US-based Qualcomm Inc by August this year for usage of its CDMA-based evolution data optimised (EvDO) technology in the latter's telephony operations. "We are in discussions and a final deal is expected to be signed by August or September," Reliance Infocomm sources said on Wednesday. EvDO is a niche broadband technology, which enables connectivity of around two MB per second over wireless networks. If the deal falls through, Reliance Infocomm would use the technology for its broadband initiatives in the country, they said, adding this would result in bypassing of other technologies. The use of EvDO is also expected to help Reliance Infocomm, which uses CDMA 1x technology for its Wireless in Local Loop operations, migrate over to 3G technologies effortlessly, they added. Code Division Multiple Access-1x is the first generation of technologies of the CDMA 2000 family and Qualcomm was expected to roll out CDMA 2x and 3x, the company is said to be restraining from it as part of its standardisation process. Reliance Infocomm is also planning to set up call centers outside Mumbai and Chennai to meet its growing subscriber base, they said. Even though, a final decision on this is yet to be taken, the company might set up call centres in eastern and northern parts of the country, they said.
