Good idea. I think we need to work out the logistics and work out a consensus on what we want to do, since all the people are scattered around india.

Thanks Arun. I have 2 points. 1. Isnt it piracy to share files like this? 2. I say unless a sis file has "extra features" go for the jar. Its usually safer. Or so I think. Techies can help here.

I faced a problem with FF & Google Web Accelerator. Couldnt understand why pages in FF continuously timed out while pages in IE loaded as usual and my download & ping speeds were moreorless normal. Apparently GWA fails at times. So I exited GWA and opened FF. Worked like a charm. Alternatively, you can go to TOOLS - OPTIONS. And in the GENERAL tab change CONNECTION SETTINGS to AUTO-DETECT PROXY SETTINGS. That will work. Although I dont know if that then bypasses GWA all the time.

Its a series 40 phone right? It should work with the 6255 then. Maybe you could share your games here.

There are lots of specialised software that costs much much more. You wont get their price lists anywhere. Specialised engineering/cad software, plm stuff etc can run into (Rs.) 50-60 lakhs or more per module!

Of course the codes have to stay the same. If you dial 2456 3689. The phone service provider must know whether you're calling Jhumri taliya or bombay or east timor.

Then it could be optional - pick which ever you like. Or even better... give both!

Yeah thats right. I meant whoever wants to should be able to chip in for the licence, server maintenance and the like. It could be through cash, offering hosting space, helping with the maintainance, marketing and other odd jobs. I know the mods are doing some of this already. But others should be able to join in this as well.

No FWP s are treated like landlines that give service to the poor villagers (there is some term used here but I dont remember it). So ReliancePhone users don't have to pay ADC, whereas RIM users do.

Cool man. Thanks Arun. Btw, how much does the licence cost? And shouldnt everyone (who wants too) share it? Or maybe we could consider a open/free messaging board?

Dude. Billions of Indians dont own 1 min hertz of spectrum. So good luck selling "yours" for 90 bucks!

A card makes little sense unless you have a very specific browsing need - which might be "unlimited" surfing. Since all plans on phones are for "limited" surfing. Other than that you get the same things (a.k.a. theoritical speed) on a Rs.14,000 card as you get on a Rs. 2,000 phone. Plus the phone has a million other utilities. So the phone wins hands down!

The 6155 & the 3155 look like variations of the 6255 with the same basic design! Something similar to what car manufacturers do!!! The 6155 looks good on features but bad on design (especially colour)!

Either way my name lives on Rohit!

I dont know how they said it on CNBC If not illegal is downright unethical. Did anyone actually SEE it on TV?

It would have been better if they had decent handsets which we could use ot check mail. Something like a Blackberry. RIM phones are painful to use for emails. I used to send 1 line sms-type-email through it before. But stopped ever since they started charging 3 bucks to send a stupid mail!

Don't auction man. If it costs 2.5 crores to provide STD/ISD services. 3G shouldnt cost more than 5 crores for anyone!

Yeah investing is always good. And now tax is structured as such to force you to save otherwise the tax man will take it away from you! So its better to lock it up for a period of time and earn some interest on it, rather than having the income tax department steal it from you!

FM is usually stereo. I dont think you get too many mono FM players. THe reason that you see the mono option there is to be "backward compatible" more than anything else. As for build quality -- its a Nokia dude! I'm yet to see someone complain about Nokia build quality!!!! You might complain about functionality and features. But never quality! And the Samsung SCH-A603 had a 262k colour display. As did the LG EVDO phone 7130 or 7230 or something!

You need to have "protected" content to activate DRM. For example if you have downloaded a game whose DRM says that you can play it only 5 times before you need to purchase the "activation code" which will let you play it 10 more times. So you enter that code in the DRM to re-activate the game to play 10 more times.

Looks similar to the 6255. Minus the BT, MMC and all! A poor man's flip I guess. How much does it cost?

What happens after a month? Pretty much nothing. EVDO isnt launched. price of rconnect doesnt fall. Nothing.

Try with similar LG drivers. They should work.

Mailnation also has implemented this. But they have the crappiest mail service in the world! Even Rediffmail is now using AJAX!

I'm going to the moon! Or my name is to the asteroids! Aliens can worship my name at least if nothing else.
