Nokia + Symbian combo is dying - http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2010/10/25/symbian-dying-redundancies-ahead-will-nokia-go-android/ N8 is nearly a dud - http://blogs.barrons.com/techtraderdaily/2010/10/19/nokia-is-the-n8-a-dud/ Nokia can only survive if it leaves symbian all together and shifts to Android... Nokia, listen to me...

@vinay absolutely unbearable....

Kindly note that this requires 1 way traffic of wifi of your laptop i.e. if you are already connecting wirelessly to a network on your laptop, this solution will not work to create a hotspot (e.g. if you are thinking to use your laptop to extend the range of your wireless connection by using it as a hotspot); u need a different source of internet connection i.e. from a wired connection or a usb dongle to use your laptop as a hotspot... JFYI...

^ After porting nothing much else can be done till now... as MNP has not been fully implemented even till today.. @ all - the grass aint that green on the other side either... you will realise that when you port to the new service provider...

After using 4" super amoled of Samsung and the faster graphic processor, I dont think I can go for this phone... Useful for hardcore Blackberry Lovers as it is basically a substitute for them due to a usable (though not as good as blackberry) qwerty keyboard...and also for people on gsm network wanting a sturdy android device which looks like a blackberry... lolz... Also forget about a exceptional multimedia and gaming experience on this phone... it wont be anywhere near what we are using... but for just calls and interface its the first android with a candy-bar form factor with keyboard... Bottomline : Its basically a business phone for the android geeks who want to look like power executives... loz... see the cartoon below and my arrow... lolzidop... EDIT: I am happy with my cool dude (actual) persona...

Problem - Facebook and Twitter contacts dont sync (or show) in your contacts even though you have set sync settings to ON in Settings-Accounts and Sync Solution - From Home Screen Select - Contacts->Menu->Get friends->Facebook or Twitter. Then simply select the people you want or click select all and hit Save. Re-open your contacts and you see that your contact are now Sync'd to your Facebook/Twitter contacts. After you do this add people to the "Buddies now" widget on one of the home screens for really great features(it'll display their Facebook picture and status and you'll be able able to call, message, and comment with the touch of one button)

looks interesting though nothing pathbreaking; good for people using multiple cdma+gsm numbers...one at a time... lolz

very confused between 2... they are my closest friends here... besides the above, Dj too needs to be in that list from whom I learnt a lot in the initial days... but when I see a total voting strength of about 50 votes till now, when there are 45,767 members (as stated on the board statistics)... its pathetic... is this forum all about ...... u know what... I would say its a shame...

^ He has recovered the money from paypal as far as I know.... Its the risk of the hobby we all have got... anyways, he's off to the US now... our loss is the US's gain...

The Ultimate Digital clock App for your android device; specially for docked ones like the EPIC Search for "DigitalClock" in the market (its free); by social & mobile, inc. - http://socialnmobile...ig-display.html It lets you choose any colour, brightness, in built alarm clock with option to choose any ringtone or notification, shake to snooze, keeps screen on while in charging mode; in fact u can make the colour so dim so its hardly visible even in pitch dark by choosing the right dash of grey and brightness setting (so it wont disturb at night) The photo somehow shows the BLUE colour I chose as whitish; it matches the blue light colour of the dock and the phone charging light; too good - LOL... I just made my EPIC into the costliest Digital Clock... ever...

Problem - unable to switch 1x/3G data on or off at your will (by default 3G data will always be ON on the Epic) Solution - Install Quick Settings by Sergej Shafarenka (free) from the market; then go into its customize option and just unhide Mobile data from the Hidden Settings; and voila you can now switch data on and off on your whim; lots of other settings also; also go into its preferences option and add and hide its status bar icon so that u can choose settings quickly Alternately you can also use the Switch Pro widget(Paid for 0.99$)

Forget WM... lolz... Android one's are better... (btw I had posted wm one's a longtime back in some wm phone forum)....

HTC Incredible/Hero - all sounds, notification and default ringtones - link here -

If some of you were missing the HTC notification sounds from their HTC Incredible/Hero on their Sammys (like me.... LOL), here it is - all sounds, notification and default ringtones - enjoy - audio.zip

@ananth001 - couldnt understand ur comment? sorry? about what?

@sgiitk : my roflmao had nothing to do with you or your post and was directed at csmart's post about the dime a dozen site's each pushing their own os's... they are basically to fool the neonates of technology who have not used all the os's to give a unbiased review... in android we have more than a thousand handset models now available all across the world and one can choose according to his/her likes and dislikes.. late starters (like you) will always be there for android but eventually even you too will see the brighter side of things... people's right to choose must be respected... as far as your comment about galaxy-s goes, yes, your d-i-l is correct; there is a lag in the indian model but that can be corrected by doing regular software updates / or using much better custom roms and using some softwares to speed up things (like auto process killers etc.); my brother is on the same in gsm with no lag at all.... as far as 1x goes, its operational all over india; you just need to know to push the right buttons... edit : if u didnt know the meaning of roflmao, a simple entry in google search would have done that for you... my bad for not understanding your question... quoted from a friend's post on buzz -

See the power of the EPIC and the dock makes it even more powerful.... and YES, the sound is from the onboard speakers only.... SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT... Enjoy the 2 minutes I have made for you...

My Samsung EPIC Dock has arrived (in just flat 7 days from the US.... lucky me...) - Notes- - Includes a Charger - Charging Light (blue) included on dock - Phone goes automatically into Desk Mode (App downloaded from market) and stays permanently lit (automatically); can be toggled into night mode - Volume keys get hidden below but volume can be adjusted by sliding out qwerty keyboard and using Func+Arrow keys combo - Volume keys foul up and get depressed to mute the phone if pressed hard from top - workaround -> I have attached a felt tape on other corner to balance it out - Photos dont do justice to how beautiful the phone and the dock look in actual usage - Sound does not output right now from the 3.5mm jack at the behind and will need a Froyo 2.2 upgrade to get it working as per user's manual included - Phone goes automatically into SPEAKERPHONE mode when I pick up a call while it is docked... Awesome... - This is one accessory i missed sorely on Incredible where a good economical dock didnt come out even months after launch...

^ Stock Samsung

LauncherPro Plus Screen shots - the usability has been increased a lot and the epic's a lot zippier too - This is my custom made ALL BLACK THEME - Note the 3 scrollable dock screens below the screen, I have placed all my useful programs there and have left the screen vacant for other usage - Also note the pinch to zoom multi screen - Also the dock widgets now display counts for the Missed Call, Unread SMS and Unread Gmail -
