Summary of Telephone conversation i just had with Groupoffers.. Whether this is with India 1 Year Warranty.. Yes. That means it's not imported.. Yes. So the Vendor to whom you are sending the list must be having it in stock/get easily from market.. Ummm.. Silence.. Why should it take 21 days from payment for delivery.. It's maximum days Sir, You may get it earlier. You have an office in Mumbai.. Can i go there, pay the money, collect vendor information from there & collect my phone?.. No Sir. Do you realise that because of "21 Days" people may treat this deal as unreliable?.. Yes, what you are saying may be correct.. Can i have your number.. I will give input to seniors.. We will try to change 21 Days description.. Make your own interpretation but not very comforting to hand over the money in advance & wait for 21 days because there is no logical answer to the 21 day delivery period if the item is in India/not imported.

News are coming that blasts have happenned in Mumbai in different areas. Details sketchy but areas mentioned are Dadar Kabutarkhana, Zaveri Bazar, Opera House. Pray all are safe..

Maharashtra Chief Minister says he could not reach any Senior Officer, Director General of Police, Chief of Police for 15 minutes after the mumbai bomb blast because mobile networks got jammed. Weblink > http://timesofindia....how/9234959.cms Which raises the question.. All those claims of investing in latest equipments after 26-11 attacks was hollow.. They still depend on mobiles to talk in emergency? No other backup? What if tomorrow there is a nuclear air attack on Mumbai.. And Chief Minister takes 15 minutes to alert the Center, Defence, Air Force.. By that time many other cities could be wiped out if they are part of the attack..

Nice Info.. +1 Lamington Road in Mumbai alongwith Nehru Place in Delhi are India's best Computer bazaars. Haven't been to Nehru Place.. But whenever i visited Sim Lim Square in Singapore & Computer Market in Hongkong, always wondered how the hell they cram so much at one place. Variety, price, choices, latest gizmos at single place simply takes your breath away. And both are Single City Countries with population in only millions!! When will we have such places in India for a 1 Billion country?

India & Android – Best Phones to buy this July Source Yet another edition of best Android devices in the Indian Market. We try to incorporate all the latest launches and compare them with the already available devices in the market – thus coming out with a list of devices that we think are best in their category right now. It is a subjective list.. We are choosing only a few devices per category, but that does not necessarily other devices are not good – it's just that that these devices stands out. Dual-core Android smartphones: [20K+] Samsung Galaxy S II: Without any doubt, if you have money this is the phone to go for. It has got its share of criticism due to heating issues, which will probably be sorted out by a future firmware update. Price: INR 29,999 | Android version: 2.3.3 | Other options in this category – HTC Sensation & LG Optimus 2X Single-core high end Android smartphones: [iNR 20K+] There is quite a competition in this category. It was hard to make a decision between them, yet we have decided on two phones with single core processors. HTC Incredible S: A very potent Android smartphone from HTC, a rather new smartphone although HTC has been releasing single core Android phone since HTC Desire. Clubbed with Android 2.3.3 and 4 inch display with an 8MP HD shooter, Incredible S makes a strong case. Price: INR 25,940 | Android version – 2.3.3 Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc: This awesome looking device from Sony Ericsson comes with a great display in the form of 4.1 inch screen with Bravia Engine. Processor is same as of Incredible S but lacks in the terms of RAM from the HTC device, but the great camera can make do for that. Price: INR 26,890 | Android version – 2.3.3 Other options in the category: HTC Desire S, Desire HD, Xperia Play [for gaming freaks], Dell Venue, Dell Streak [if you don't mind big screen], HTC Desire, HTC Desire Z and Acer Liquid E Mid-range Android smartphones: [below 20K and more than 12K] Recently a series of price drops and new devices launches have made mid-range a happening Android arena. Yet another category to make hard decisions, but choice is always good for consumers. Nexus S: We always like Google phones. You get the Android updates before anyone else and have the great hardware. If you are looking for pure Android – this is it. Price: INR 19.9K | Android version: 2.3.4 LG Optimus Black: Recently launched Optimus Black is the lightest Android smartphone in high-end as well as mid range categories. It comes with a great 4 inch NOVA display along with 1 GHz processor. Only problem is the Android version, which will get updated to Gingerbread soon. Price: INR 19,310 | Android version: 2.2 Other options in the category: Samsung Galaxy SL, Spice MI-410, Motorola Defy, Samsung Galaxy Ace, Acer Liquid Metal, HTC Wildfire S and Motorola Milestone You might be wondering that high-end and mid-range categories have ended and we have not mentioned Galaxy S anytime. We were not sure to put it in which category. That's why it is here on its own. Worth It: Samsung Galaxy S: A very popular and hit smartphone from Samsung, Galaxy S still have great hardware and almost latest Android version. We are not sure about the price, because you should be able get it around 21K. A great display and awesome developer love. Note: Available at 19.5K At Some Places. Entry-level Android smartphones [0 to INR 12K] With a series of Samsung love here, and lot of rebranded OEM devices have made entry level segment crowded. It is very hard to point out which is better than which in this segment, so we are not choosing one device here. We have made a lot of few devices that are worth their money in this segment. Dell XCD35 LG Optimus One Samsung Galaxy Fit HTC Wildfire Acer Liquid Mini Other options in this category: Seriously there are a lot of them – Samsung Galaxy Pop, Galaxy Pro, LG Optimus Me, Spice MI-310, Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini, Mini Pro and SE W8

Vodafone, Idea, Airtel in Pact for Pan-India 3G services Telcos will use each other's networks via intra-circle roaming agreements Source In an undeclared roll-out of inter-dependency in the highly competitive telecom market, three major telecom players – Vodafone, Idea Cellular and Bharti Airtel – have entered into agreements to provide pan-India 3G services. The three will now use each other's networks through intra-circle roaming arrangements where they do not have licences. Airtel, Aircel and Reliance Communications each own 3G spectrum licence in 13 of the 22 telecom circles, while Vodafone, Idea and the Tatas each have licence in nine circles. Except for Vodafone, two others, however, are unwilling to officially confirm the arrangements. In an e-mailed response to Business Line, Vodafone said that it "has entered into a bilateral roaming agreement with Idea and Airtel in circles where we have not built our own 3G network". The communication further explained: "With this agreement, Vodafone / Airtel / Idea will bring a pan-India experience of 3G services to their customers." TIE-UPS While Aditya Birla-controlled Idea has entered into an intra-circle roaming arrangement with Vodafone for introducing 3G services in Delhi and Kolkata circles, Bharti Airtel will partner Idea in providing 3G services in Karnataka – primarily in Bangalore and Mysore. 3G services in these circles were launched earlier this month. Vodafone, meanwhile, has started 3G services in Andhra Pradesh and Kerala through an agreement with Idea. Uttar Pradesh (West) is another circle where the company plans to introduce similar services through Bharti Airtel's network. Similarly, Bharti Airtel has entered into intra-circle roaming agreements to share Idea's 3G network in Gujarat. Airtel launched 3G services in Gujarat since the midnight of June 29. Ms Shaily Shah, IT analyst at Gartner, said: "more such tie-ups amongst operators are in pipeline in the coming days" since no Indian telecom operator has obtained pan-India 3G spectrum licences. COMMITMENT CLAUSES Although operators admit entering into agreements, they remain tight-lipped when it comes to sharing details, especially about commitment clauses regarding reserving a specific portion of spectrum. Moreover, pricing issues too remain undisclosed. Industry sources point out that under no circumstances can there be a pricing flexibility in these arrangements. An operator in intra-circle roaming arrangements will always be dependent on the host operator's pricing strategy. There has to be parity in rates between the two companies. Queries sent to Idea and Vodafone elicited no response on issues relating to commitments with host network and pricing strategy. "Since each operator is dependent on another for network sharing, there is bound to be homogeneity in the market," Ms Shah said. LOW-KEY The intra-circle arrangement networks have been kept low-key. While companies say that they these launches are done "locally in the respective circles," industry sources differ. "This sort of arrangement is relatively new in the Indian market. Perhaps operators want to be sure on the outcome before highlighting them," Ms Shah said.

Zaveri Bazar Bomb Blast Images As it happened..

Chief Minister of Maharashtra confirmed: Number of deaths: 17 Number of injured: Over 100 Both numbers expected to rise.. One of the relative was in opera house in the same building meters away from the blast: Escaped unhurt, reached home but deeply traumatised.. She is even unable to speak properly.. Whatever may be the number of physical deaths eventually, 2 Crore population of Mumbai dies mentally with this fear of unknown everytime.. Which strikes regularly.. Meanwhile the court trials of previous blasts in Mumbai are still dragging on for years.. Even though justice may not deter a determined terrorist.. Still it needs to be done & fast.. Hell i am angry like every Mumbaikar & Indian..
