^^^ Done...

I already tried it using after 2 days but still cant do it.. It would be nice if anyone with unused code can purchase the same for me & mention my address for shipping. Payment to be made is just Rs.5/- for which I will give my credit card number (virtual). Thanks..

Hey guys.. Just got Samsung Galaxy Spica last week & thought of posting a short review for our community. Its a value for money android phone (GSM) @ just 12.5k. As of now ver is 1.6 but service center guys will update it to ver 2 as it is already out in India now. Operating speed is too good as it boasts 800 mhz processor. Camera quality at 3.2 MP is average. On multimedia front, it has inbuilt divx player which is another plus. Battery life is amazing. Screen quality Ultimate.. Touchscreen average. Typing is bit tedious as compared to HTC (I use Finger Keyboard on HTC Diamond CDMA). Box includs phone, battery, charger, USB Cable ( I use USB cable to charge too through my HTC's charger & its very convenient), 2gb card with adapter, CD (but pc suit is of no use. Sync is best with google instead), carry pouch. I would highly recommend this budget android phone for gsm android seekers. Also, I use Vodafone & you can refer my GPRS post here for more details. Edit: As requested by my friends, posting some pics & bit detailed review. (Pardon me for quality of review as I am new at reviewing & posting photos). Build quality of the handset is quite good. Normally Samsung handsets seem to be some what inferior as far as build is considered but this time it is good. Battery is a big one but no mah is mentioned on it. Backup time is good with more than 1 day of standby time & high wifi usage / texts. 1 drawback is that the buttons for calling / ending / home, etc are not backlit. Call quality is good but mp3 playback on speaker is bit low. Playback on headphones is quite good but mp3 player app is very basic with no equiliser settings. Screen quality is excellent. UI is the same Android 1.6 with 3 home screens. Samsung extras as I noticed were only keyboards i.e. Samsung Keybord & Hindi keyboard. Samsung keyboard was good but major problem was it always converted character i to capital no matter it is typed individually or within a word. (for ex. if i type hitesh, it will convert it to hItesh). Hindi layout is good for hindi texting but I cud not understand how to type on it as many characters were missing. Did not dig more. Text input is fastest with Slide It but only for dictionary words. For others, smart keyboard is good app & can be found here. Speed is remarkably fast with 800mhz processor. I didnt face any difficulty in browsing or using any of the apps. On apps front, pre-installed apps are very limited but you can find lot of free stuff. Below is list og apps that I am using: hiteshkkk's Apps on the phone Phone: GT-I5700 31 total, 31 free (100%), 0 paid (0%), 31MB total size, $0 total price EStrongs File Explorer aFile Lite APNdroid Bluetooth File Transfer Compass Shazam Backgrounds Facebook for Android Star Contact Smart Keyboard Skyfire Browser 2.0 (beta) Documents To Go 2.0 Main App Handcent SMS VuDroid Barcode Scanner Bebbled Android System Info eBuddy Messenger Dolphin Browser Task Manager Network Monitor Advanced Task Killer SlideIT Keyboard Lite handyCalc Sprite Migrate - BETA2 AppBrain Market Sync Terminal Emulator MySpace Mobile Google Maps View this app list on AppBrain It also has inbuilt DIVX player which does its job perfectly. You can find full working documents viewer for word/excel/pdf here One more good app Call Log calendar Much other stuff here. Some pics : Contents. (USB Cable is not there in the pic as I had kept it at home). One comment on it. The length of USB cable is tooo less. Charger & its port. Streo Handsfree. Call pickup/drop button is on left side. It also functions as pause / play button for mp3. Home screen Uploaded with ImageShack.us Back cover I hope i have covered most of the points. Still, if you have some doubts, just post here, will clarify the same.

Hi friends... Just got my Galaxy Spica upgraded to Android Ver. 2.1 (Eclair) from Samsung service center... It took just 1 hr for the same & new version is really cool... Will try to post more updates in coming days.. BTW, pls refer my previous post of basic camera software in ver 1.6. The same has been upgraded to advanced in this version..

Hi all... Has anyone checked backward compatibility of OMH Sim cards. As per cdg.org, they are backward compatible i.e. OMH Sim card, which is normally used on Corby, can be used on non OMH handsets like Nok 6275 or other Samsung CDMA Handsets like 369 or Hero. But, has anyone actually tried this?? Thanks in advance.

Too good... +1 from me too...

Hi... check my 1st post. I've edited it to accommodate most of your doubts.

Your writing style says u r a Sharukh fan... its hiteshkkk1 & not hiteshkkkkkk1 Anyways... thanks for repping... Wud like to contribute more to our community in future too..

e63 is too slow. Even if you open calls history, you have to wait 3-4 secs which is really annoying. S5560 & Corby have samsung UI which is very basic or you can say non-userfriendly to operate. Also, they may have limitations on number of contacts / sms. Sync with google is also not directly possible. Spica seems to be the best out of all 4. 2nd rank to E63. Once u use Android, you will forget Symbian or any other OS. Telling this from my experience. I have used everything from Series 40, Series 60, Win MO, Samsung / LG / SE, Iphone n Android. Only Iphone & Android beat all of them. But, Iphone is way costly. So, the winner is Android, atleast as per me.

You are right. It is a 3G phone & only 1 camera. For Java, theres app called JBlend which is a 3rd party app developed by Aplix Corp. (www.aplix.co.jp). I tried installing 1-2 apps but it gives some certificate error in JAD file so I left. Theres so much available on APK level that theres hardly any need to find JAD apps.

Even I am eagerly waiting to upgrade it to 2. Will check out service center at Jalgaon but I guess these dumb people do even know Android or not. Somewhere I read on android forums that even Pune SC doesnt know of any such update even though its out in April. Regarding OTA, is it possible to upgrade Android from 1.6 to 2 OTA?? Waiting for gurus to answer. I will surely post photos in couple of days.

I have compared it with HTC Diamond, Nokia 6303. Results in daylight are somewhat similar but Nokia 6303 is having a Flash so it gives bit better output. Also, camera is average in the sense that the camera app is very basic. No advanced settings like Modes, Quality, Zoom, Effects, etc. Touch screen is average in the sense that typing is bit cumbersome. I am used to type on Touch Screen on HTC (Finger keyboard) where I get accuracy level of 95-98% but in this I am using Smart Keyboard & getting accuracy level of 85-90%. Also, in case of default keyboard, the number goes down to 75-80%. (By accuracy level I mean mistakes in typing) If you want to text, then theres even Slide It keyboard on Market(which we get even for HTCs too). Typing is breeze through that but cant type in shortcuts or Hinglish through that as it is totally dictionary driven. Also, supposed I want to type www.moneycontrol.com then I have to type www then . then slide on money then control then . then com. Also, every word will have space in between which has to be deleted manully. I will recheck the settings to disable the same but cud not find yet. But, overall, at 12.5k, its really value for money android.

Hi guys... I already have HTC Diamond on my TATA Indicom & always used TATA's 40ps/mb plan for browsing on Handset / PC. Sometimes, I used 10ps/10kb plan too but it had some limitations as it is through Proxy. I used my secondary vodafone no. in SE W810i so never bothered for full fledged GPRS as most of JAVA Apps worked on Vodafone Live (again Proxy based & 10ps/10kb). Last week I got Samsung Galaxy Spica (Android). Its a cool device & really value for money. But, the real problem is, Android cannot connect thru Vodafone Live except browser (which works fine on VL) all other apps / gmail/ etc work on port other than 80. For full GPRS, we have to subscribe to Vodafone Mobile Connect. VMC is one of the costliest GPRS service among all operators. It costs 199 per month + 5ps/10kb which is Bull Sh*t compared to other unlimited gprs plans of other operators. Just today I got to know about 199 etopup for prepaid where we get 100 mb full gprs VMC for 30 days. I am located in Maharashtra so other do check before going ahead. I know 199 too is costly when others are giving gprs at 99 that too unlimited. But then their speed is also hopeless. I had checked Docomo. One option is to go on www.vodafone.in & do online recharge by putting ur no. & then select Validity Recharge n put 199 & search. It shows 100 mb data & val as 30 days. If it shows for ur number too, then u can proceed & enjoy 100 mb data for 30 days on Phone/PC. Check attached pic.. About the service VMC. Guys, VMC speed is really good (atleast as compared to VL). I was able to watch Youtube video on my Android. Edited : One useful info for Vodafone users. You can check your balance MB by dialing *141*10#. Also, try *141*1# to check free SMS balance. You can try numbers (x) from 1 to 10 in *141*x# to check balance for various bonus packs & so on. Also, check this post here which says there are VMC plan @ 25 & 50 too. But I think those are in Chennai. See if it helps.

In the case of Professional Couriers, you need to put in the originating office code in addition to the docket number, assuming thinkpositive has only used the docket number for checking in the site. With Jalgaon Code of JGN with that nimner gives a result that the packet is delivered to Vile Parle on May 3, 2010. Strange! Anyway it's got delivred by today (08th May) evening in my address. Tested both harddisks... it's working well and fine. THANKS A TON, HITESH. Ya... our office boys are used to pack this way... Feeling happy to hear good about their work.. I hope I deserve +1 from all of u... (Atleast for packing) Its my pleasure & good to hear that both HDD working fine & atleast both are getting used.. Still more stuff left. Check my signature... Any takers??

@Thinkpositive I have attached courier ack slip for your reference. You can give the copy to your local office there n let me know if any success. I have also lodged a complain with their Jalgaon office.
