Thanks. But then i am stuck with Airtel

How is BSNL in Bangalore/Karnatka? I am thinking of moving to BSNL from Airtel. I just hate Airtel!!

oh man!! that is awesome!! These androids are raising the bar everyday.

Looks impressive.

Market share for the July-September 2010 quarter IDC 1. Nokia 31.5% 2. G’Five 10.6% 3. Samsung 8.2% 4. Micromax 7.2% 5. Forme NA GfK 1. Nokia 44.8% 2. Samsung 17.8% 3. LG 7.9% 4. Micromax 6.2% 5. G’Five 3.7% Both agencies use different methodology Full news at The Economic Times

Nokia probably does not want to adopt Android for fear of loosing control of whole mobile echosystem. Somebody else dictating the software and Nokia being just a dumb hardware assembler. But then the recent rumours of Nokia coming out with Windows 7 phones does not make sense and also gives us hope to see Android on Nokia. Build quality of Nokia handsets is great. They are like cockroaches and just don't die. If they do decide to come out with Android phones, it will be be beneficial to both Android and Nokia. It can take the Android to next level and can beat iOS for good. Hope better sense prevails on Nokia.

Why do you think so?

Definitely will help people who are less savvy at the cost of slight inconvenience . A very good move.

I still have some hopes from Tata +Aircel to lower the prices. Only these guys can break the cartel of Big 3. BSNL with their PAN India network and 2 year lead could have done wonders, Only if it is managed better. Sigh!!

I like canon too. Biggest advantage of LX5 over the S95 is that LX5 has 24mm lens. S95 starts at 28mm. If i can convince myself to compromise on that, I will go for Canon.

Great work Kamal Bhai. Keep up the good work.

Looks awesome. Someone should launch it in India.

I am using Norton Internet Security and pretty happy with it. Norton is not slow and bloated as it used to be. I have used Microsoft Security Essentials in the past and found it to be very effective.

Thanks for explaining.

How is this camera compared to Canon S95 and Pansonic DMC-LX5. The reason i ask this is because i am also looking for a good quality Point and Shoot. just wondering what was your criteria to select this camera. S95 and LX5 are also similarly priced but not sure if available in India. Here is a very detailed comparison of LX5 vs S95 and Nikon P7000. S95 Vs Lx5 Vs P7000 David Pogue liked S95 so much that he wrote a love letter to this camera A Love Letter to a Camera

I wonder if this is this is a sign of merger between the groups?

Need to buy a good quality bluetooth headset for my wife. Never used one of them so have no idea. Looking for suggestions. It will be paired with Blackberry 8130. --Thanks

MUMBAI: The churn in the Indian mobile handset industry continues unabated and if the latest industry figures are anything to go by, Finnish handset maker Nokia and Korean conglomerate Samsung have reasons to be worried. Nokia's grip over the Indian market loosened further as its market share slid by another 5% in the July to September quarter, according to data by IDC, a market research agency, made available exclusively to TOI. It, however, remains the largest mobile handset brand with a 31.5% share in the Indian mobile phone market. The big surprise, however, came in the form of Samsung, which vacated its number two slot in the market to littleknown Chinese brand—G'Five . While G'Five now has a 10.6% share, the Korean handset manufacturer on the other hand ended the September quarter with an 8.2% share. In the quarter ended June, IDC had reported Nokia's market share at 36.3%, which the mobile handset maker had disputed. Nokia had then said that it did not agree with the methodology used by IDC to determine market share. When contacted by TOI, Nokia said it is globally in its silent period prior to the 2010 results slated to be announced in January and would find it inappropriate to comment on market share estimates by external agencies. The Finnish handset manufacturer, till a couple of years ago, dominated the Indian mobile handset market like a colossus with more than a 70% share. But off late, it has been hit at the bottom end by a swarm of new players such as Micromax, Spice and Lava. At the top end, its market has been encroached upon by the likes of Apple's iPhone and Blackberry. These new players have been able to offer value-formoney products in the low and mid-market segments, backed by innovative models. Be it looks, styling, high-end applications—these brands have given consumers the option to go for feature-rich phones at very low price points targeting the semi-urban and rural population and that has taken away market shares from the well-entrenched players. For instance , the new entrants understood the Indian consumers' need for more battery life as well as the fact that lot of them needed to use two sim cards. Accordingly, they launched phones to meet such demands through inhouse R&D. Samsung, however, sought to play down the latest IDC figures and said its market share has actually gone up according to IDC's rival research firm GfK- Nielsen's data. "As per GfK-Nielsen's data, we had 19.3% market share for the month of October. We strengthened our dual-SIM portfolio considerably and maintained our leadership in the touch screen segment with a 36% market share," a Samsung spokesman said in an email response when quizzed about the reasons for vacating its number two spot. While GfKNielsen reports monthly numbers IDC comes out with quarterly numbers. Source TIMES OF INDIA

Glad to see more sub -10k Android phones. Go Android Go!!

So it uses wider spectrum and hence more bandwidth How is it possible? Do they use some kind of compression to reduce bandwidth?
