  1. any smartphone, android or otherwise, has a basic OS that performs certain minimum basic functions even without data connectivity. without that, I wonder whether they would have been successful. A crome OS based device, without data, is nothing but a brick.
  2. ^^^ browsing/mail checking etc, yes. but never seen anyone doing any "computing" on nexus one.
  3. why should one pay USD 500 for a glorified mobile device that runs only a browser?
  4. never heard of this website [bitfang]. is it reliable?

  7. Android Mobiles From India

    commonman replied to rajanmehta's topic in Other handsets

    ^^^ Actually what was announced in August 2010 was Spice Mi400 which was never launched in India.
  8. Thanks for confirming the superiority of CDMA.

  9. BSNL Provide EVDO In SIM

    commonman replied to me_saket's topic in Other Network / Cellular Providers

    Thanks kesav but is it full like as in tata indicom/mts etc or only within SDCA BSNL CDMA uses two types of numbering series. 1. Landline type STD+no : this is used for both FWP and Tarang WLL sets and roaming is limited to SDCA only. 2. Mobile type 10 digit no. : this is for full mobility service and roaming is possible All India except MTNL service area of Mumbai and Delhi. When RIM started, they were also using Landline type No. scheme with service restricted to SDCA. But they provided backdoor roaming by allotting a new temporary local landline no. in the city of roaming, with automatic call forwarding activated in the home city no. So anyone calling to the base no. got the call forwarded to the temporary no. In fact at that time, if one directly called the temporary no., no roaming charges (call forwarding charges) were charged to the customer. I remember for my Delhi RIM, I had muliple no. for the same handset, to enable it to work in whole of NCR consisting of multiple SDCAs - Delhi, Ghaziabad, Dadri, Faridabad, Gurgaon (total 5 different landline no. working on the same handset)
  10. is RCOMLSB code still working? I was under the impression that it was valid only upto 30th April.
  11. I use RCDMA for voice & SMS only (B559 handset). For data I use MTNL Delhi 3G prepaid. Average usage per month (based on record since Nov 2009) is around 400-450 MB. Using Spice Mi300 handset since Oct 2010, was using Micromax H360 earlier.

  12. India Waged War Against West Bengal

    commonman replied to kesav's topic in The Lounge

    ^^^ The TMC will win this time round. 5 years down the line they would lose, not to come back for the next 35 years.
  13. @ rajanmehta Thanks for the clarification. Also available on Letsbuy HCL ME AE7-A1 Tablet @ Rs. 10990, 7 inch Android 2.2 with wifi and support for USB modem. With rcomlsb code it would work out to Rs.9342 only. http://www.letsbuy.com/hcl-tablet-ae7a1-p-15891 Another interesting product seems to be ETO Brute Portable Charger @ Rs.6999 with battery back up of 20,000 mAh and output voltage options of 5.5V/16V/19V. With rcomlsb code it would work out to Rs.5949 only. http://www.letsbuy.com/eto-portable-charger-brute-p-14290
  14. ^^^ if I apply rcomlsb code to ipad2, will get I get 4425 (15%) off?????

  15. Please suggest a WiFi Modem & Router

    commonman replied to pbananth's topic in General Technical Discussion

    ^^^^ first check the ADSL splitter. try connecting the phone line directly to the modem instead of through the splitter.
  16. ^^^ it is clearly written in the highlights tab "Mobile Number Portability Numbers not accepted as of now" the recharge is offered directly by Snapdeal (Jasper) and not through any third party/merchant. my personal experience with products directly offered by snapdeal (as against discount vouchers of third parties) has not been very good.
  17. why not TRAI put in a regulation that makes the operator to credit Rs.1 to the customer account (where customer is registered for DND) for every single unsolicitated SMS. That would automatically solve the problem. But TRAI would not do it, as it is subservient to the Govt. which in turn is subservient to the business community.
  18. only R-GSM 3G and MTNL 3G does not have separate charges for data consumed in Mobile TV. All other EVDO/GSM-3G operators, including BSNL, charges for the data use. MTS does not have any monthly subscription charges, all others charge monthly subscription also.

  19. MTS Mblaze Now Available Pan India!

    commonman replied to SumitVerma's topic in Other Network / Cellular Providers

    one issue that I faced in several cities including Delhi/NOIDA, Kolkata etc is that the signal strength is unstable. Every once in a while all signal bars would be gone and there would only be a cross to denote signal strength. This results in crawling speeds. What is even more strange is that the moment I disconnect, the signal strengths would increase, and the moment I connect again it would again be gone.

  20. HTC Incredible Gorilla Glass Broken

    commonman replied to manujgupta's topic in HTC

    ^^^ except Rajnikanth

  21. India Against Corruption - Parivartan

    commonman replied to dkaile's topic in The Lounge

    @ACS If every single person vows not to give any bribe to anyone and wait patiently, there would no longer be any corruption. If every person vows to pay full tax on their earnings and on all business transactions, there would no longer be any corruption. If every person willingly accept fines/punishment for breaking rules, there would no longer be any corruption. If the laws of the Country are modified to remove all forms of reservation and make merit as the sole criteria for education, jobs etc, there would no longer be any corruption. If every single adult Indian, more so the educated ones, exercised their electoral rights properly, there would no longer be any corruption. If the Right To Information Act is extended to all NGOs, News channels etc, there would no longer be any corruption. .................... Only if..........
  22. The MTS TV app does not wok when used with internet connection of other service provider. (earlier versions used to, but it stopped about a month back).
  23. This thread is becoming a real money saver for many.
  24. Just for the record, contrary to common perception of most hindi speaking people, hindi is not the national language of India. Because there are no "National Language" of India. All languages listed in the VIIIth Schedule of the Indian Constitution are given equal Status. Hindi is the "Official Language" of the Govt. of India, under the Official Languages Act, 1963. On ther note, received 8 GB Micro SD card from Letsbuy on 13th. Received an SMS with AWB No. of Bluedart. Called their customer care and fixed delivery time. Came nicely packed. Pack says Verbatim Europe. Not yet physically tested.

  25. HTC Incredible Gorilla Glass Broken

    commonman replied to manujgupta's topic in HTC

    that proves two things, 1. Gorilla or no Gorilla, its Glass after all and would break more easily than that standard polymer based screens. 2. One should never develop to bad habit of using a phone while walking and looking at the screen rather than the road/floor.
