The online store does not seem to work at present

Its a good start. but i would still stick to FF because of the benefits of having the Add-On's (Extentions). Does Crome support Extentions?

it also has a 10000+ price tag !!!!!!!!!

For those using Firefox, a better option is available in the form of the Add-On "Gspace" which also can access files earlier uploaded with G-Drive

30% p.a. interest ?? Don't have the exact details of the tie-up. But ICICI Credit Card gives the option of converting certain heavy purchases into 6 interest free EMI against upfront payment of 2% of principal amount which works out to about 8% p.a.

Last year Airtel offered full talk time and 2 years' validity with 1947 recharge

The site displays V80 in the selected price range of 4000-5000 The site also has Coolpad 288 which is also a dual SIM in the selected price range 5000-10000 So which one would be better?

In the face of crisis, landline is often the best. They work even when there is no power to run the mobile towers or there is no charge in the mobile.

when you need to send the same info to multiple persons, sms comes handy. also its useful when the other person may not be in a position to receive a call (like in a meeting). But sms is cost effective only if used with special sms tariffs. (like R.60 for 1000)

Is internet still free?

I salute you sir. But given the quality of service offered by MTNL, i am not that patriot yet.

One possible way to check - Just put your SIM in a cheap basic handset and use for a month. if there is significant difference in bill may be you need have your fancy handset get checked by an expert

data card is now available with prepaid options also

try with the new firefox3

Dear amtrag A salary account is normally offered by practically all banks at Zero AQB requirement. But these days people tend to have multiple accounts. Sometimes they may also be required to maintain these additional accounts as a mandatory requirement of their loan agreements with such other banks. And thats when the punch of AQB comes in. The concept of AQB is that the closing balance of 90/91 days should total up to Min. AQB x 90/91 i.e. Rs. 9,00,000 if AQB is 10,000. So if a person wants to maintain zero balance for say 10 days each month, then for the balance 60 days of the quarter, he needs to maintain a daily closing bal. of 15000. There can be other combinations also. But it may not be easy for everybody. Even today, most people bank with PSU banks primarily because most of the PSU banks have min. balance requirement of Rs.1000 only. Thats why RBI has come up with the concept of No-frills accounts etc. The product from Axis bank is one such "option" for those who may not want to keep their funds blocked in but still want an additional account with all facilities. Other banks are also expected to come up with similar options. At the end of the day everybody has to make a choice based on their own financial position and judgment. So on these matters there could probably never be a standard possible opinion that fits all, as our friend manishag agrees.

I beg to differ on that point. Being a customer of ICICI Bank for the last 9 years, i have definitely felt the service quality going continuously downwards as their customer base went upwards. As regards the increase in the AQB requirements, RBI has recently issued a circular to make all transactions at all "other bank" ATMs also to be made free w.e.f. 1.4.2009. The banks are increasing the AQB requirements to compensate for the revenue loss. Axis Bank is presently offering a product with Zero Minimum Balance and Zero AQB requirement and with all facilities of normal savings account but for an annual charge of Rs.500 or Rs.600 (i am not very sure of the exact amount).

looks more like a WiFi type system limited to the business establishment premises.

Rs. 1099 + Tax @ 12.36% works out to Rs.1235 Reliance Net Connect Prepaid offers Unlimited @ Rs. 999 p.m. incl. tax. Thats almost 20% less if used on a lifetime validity no. http://www.rcom.co.in/webapp/Communication...ffs_details.jsp

BSNL has already launched EVDO service in several places. So it is definitely not dependent on 3G and can function on existing 2G only. Reliance just does not want to make the capital investment necessary.

Form 16 are TDS Certificates issued by the Employer to its employees for income disbursed and tax deducted on Salary. Unless there is a provision of some sort enterprise intra-net with pay-roll package linkage, there appears no way of form 16 being downloaded from the net.

The official website now indicates a unlimited Data RCV for Rs.999 with 30 days validity. This seems to the the cheapest unlimited option with full roaming available for now.
