he is not kidding........ even i have 2 bsnl broadband connections and i tried the speed on both of them by dowanloading a file from microsoft.com and the speeds were as follows :- 1) Unlimited bandwith plan (900 plan) = speeds same as earlier i.e. around 32KBps (kilobytes per second) 2) Limited bandwith plans = speeds immensely improved.....i got download speed of 207 KBps for the same file and 18 MB file was downloaded in a minute and a half!!!!!!!!! this is absolutely cool!!!!!!!!!!! *******Note - Speed test done in Bangalore*********

Guys seems u ppl are not upadted on the origami project, better known as UMPC (Ultra mobile Pc's). OQO has been offering this product for some 2 yrs in US but now it has competition from UMPC's. try googling UMPC or Origami and u'll find a host of information on this. Guys in all the UMPC's available, i think the best would be sony vaio UX50 (90, 180 & others). Its got everything OQO has and betters it on speed, performance and features.....try googling for pics and info

Thanx a ton!!!! It worked like a charm!!! Everything but the phonebokk was reset!! Everything is accessible now!!! Thanx one again, you saved me a lot of unwanted pain.....

i have a lg rd 2130 which i use primarily for sms. Recently i filled up the inbox and now whenever i try accessing the messaging sub-folders, my phone would restart. I can't even go to the option of "erase all messages" as again the phone would restart the moment i try accessing the folder. Has anybody experienced this problem??? If somebody has a solution, plz let me know. I really don't want to take it to the service center because of the hassle involved. If anybody has any solution, plz do let me know as taking it to service center would be my last option. Any help would be greatly appreciated........

Sorry for the late response...... Sadly, LG LSP 340E isn't a great phone for R-Connect. It gives a lot of errors and the speed is quite slow. I have no idea for high speed drivers for this phone plus the fact that its serial based makes it even more difficult to be tweaked. I suggets if u use the phone for extensive net surfing, u rather go for LG LSI 110 cordless (could probably excahnge it). It gives max possible speed and u don't need to purchase data cable as well as it uses a generic USB A to B cable. Don't know about the recently launched LG 350R, so can't comment on its performance....

absolutely agree with you cracker!!!! I too find this as an amazing hack and believe it should be pinned. Its very diificult to get such high speeds on majority of LG phones without this trick......

Hi....can give u some info.... I've been using reliance for the past 2 yrs and trust me even though it might be expensive and slower than airtel (256 Kbps), it think its pretty good if u consider the mobility factor and convenience. There might be better services but since you are concerned with Reliance will come back to the topic.... R-connect download speeds are in the range of 13 - 16 kbps constantly over here in bangalore. I'm using LG RD 5130 and download 24/7. I download 6 GBs every week on an average, so download speed is decent. Just a word of advice, go for LG RD 5130 or 6130 with Original data cable and install the 230 kbps driver if u want to achieve these speeds; else u'll have to settle down with 8-10 kbps with the original drivers. Just search for the post, u'll able to find the 230 kbps driver link. About Voip, I've used dialpad and skype, and to be frank its not awesome by nay means....voice seems to be lost a few times but overall the experience is satisfactory if not good.....Surfing is also fair enough, though not at the speeds of downloading. Overall I'd say its good if u want it as a portable net service otherwise u could look at airtel (Undisputed BEST for their unlimited 256 kbps @ Rs 999/-) or Bsnl Dataone. Relaince is good if u want unlimited downloads and have no airtel covergae in your area.

hi lijodavis.......gr8 work!!! i have a HP pocket pc 2003 edition and i know how to configure it to work with a bluetooth handset to access net using the gprs connection of airtel & hutch. it works fine but the speeds sren't great....... a few days back, after reading the raves & review for nokia 6255 on this forum i was wondering if we could use the bluetooth to access net on pocket pc. good to hear that u could configure it to use internet on your palm. this assures me that we can use it on pocket pc as well. plz give the settings in detail, as in init string, and any other settings. this would help me and others configure our own devices. Even though mine is a pocket pc, u can give the details for ur palm b'coz i believe it wouldn't be much different for pocket pc........ thanks and once again gr8 work buddy!!!!

Hey ramchi...... what GPRS connection are you talking about???? As far as i know airtel offers two types of connection (1) Rs. 100 as rental and additional data charges and (2) Rs 500, better known as MOBILE OFFICE, as unlimited GPRS connectivity including rental and unlimited data. As far as the better connection is concerned......You simply can't compare the two on quality. Its like comparing a Toyota Corolla with Maruti 800. Sure airtel Gprs is cheaper but trust i've used both the connections over here in delhi and while airtel gave me speeds of about 3-5 KBps, reliance constatntly gives me 14-16 KBps download speed and since i download all the time, nothing like it. sure airtel is cheap but only for people on the move for plain surfing and rare downloads; whereas reliance is for all of these including decently high speed and superb roaming in most parts of india......Don't know how is the speed of airtel in all cities but can't really compare it with reliance speeds...... Its all a matter of choice.....you are content with airtel gprs, which is absolutely fine keeping in mind your expectations and needs from ur net connection...... as for people like me i don't mind paying 1500 bucks a month if i get a decent speed like r-connect (Its awright till EVDO/3G hits the market)...... Anyway do clarify which airtel gprs conncetion u've taken for Rs 250 per month. I can keep that to use internet and yahoo/msn messengers on my nokia 9500 (communicator) for in the move till reliance comes up with a good PDA phone.

hey vb86......speaking of sky dth in uk..... do point out some worthwhile features of it so that we can look forward to T Sky!!!

Hey TCP/IP... can you tell what's the name of the software (the screenshot posted by you)?? It looks cool!!!! coming back to your question, the r-connect speeds are pretty gud here in delhi, something like download speeds of 13- 17 KBps all the time and i've downloaded in excess of 5 GBs monthly many a time. but be warned, the sppeds differ a lot from city to city and no other city (namely - bangalore, calcutta, patna) have been able to give even half the speeds consistently that of delhi. so speeds vary a lot from city to city. plz check out with someone in ur city/town before opting for this to make sure ur not in for a bad surprise......all the best!!!

Webmaster, plz tell the step by step procedure if possible so that others can configure it easily. Also can i use my pda to connect to internet using this phone (via bluetooth). I've using my hutch gprs to access internet on my pda and the only prolem is they charge a lot for their data transfers and their speeds are seriously slow. Hope you can guide me and others on this.....thanx in advance.

anytime buddy!!! guess we are all members of forum to help each other, aren't we!!

suggest you to backup your data and go for a fresh installation. see if it happens again, if it does then there's some serious problem!!

No idea about LG FWT, don't know if it would give the same performance. I'd say go for LG LSI 110, the reason being that i have used it and can assure you of a gud performance. Yes it can be charged while downloading, there are two separate ports, one for charging and the other USB. No, none of the reliance phones support fax as of now.....maybe they come up with this in future..... and ya one good thing about this phone (LS110) is that apart from good speeds, the errors are almost nil, something not many phones can boast of....
