AFAIK, When you install apps on your MC, only the .jar files are seen and counted. The app creates some hidden (*.jad etc) files. These files are not counted when the MC Size status is asked for. Maybe this is why you are unable to store any more photos. One more reason could be the resolution setting is the highest ie 1600x1200. At this resolution, the size of one photo is around 600 to 800 kb. Check on this also. Your Image quality also could be set on high - try to set it to medium. One more suggestion, you take a backup of your MC on your computer and then format your MC and try again. Finally, you could visit the nearest ASC or a local repair man. Try your luck.

Its true, I too have reduced my SMS outgo drastically. Not only is it boring, but mainly there is no SMS friendly handset in RCOM except maybe ppc.

^^^ AFAIK, the Chinese handsets costs below 5.5k and if one can bargain, it can go down to even 4k. And yes, the video and the audio effect on the Chinese handset is really awesome. I have seen the Air transmission as well as the cable transmission. Both are very good. You can also rotate the view to landscape mode. Other features are normal only. Nothing extraordinary except TV- IN. The handset is manufactured by ZTE, China.

^^^ NE idea about the pricing and availability on our CDMA RCOM mobiles?

Congrats to RimWeb.in for turning 4. Congrats to one and all at RimWeb. Thanks for the prize. Wishing all a Very Happy & Prosperous New Year 2008.

If a call recorder can work only in symbian phones, then how does it work on LG 6230 etc phones? These LG phones do not support multi-tasking at all. I think there may be some software available for call recording, give time to manmeet as he has already said that there is some problem in his computer. Lets see maybe he will post sooner or later.

^^^ Yes, you are absolutely right. Qualcomm has truly messed up this great technology. What a sorry state of affairs to be in.

I think Vishal means requests posted here. Many people here do not understand the discreet method and try to post here asking for some key or the other without directly PM'ing the poster. Direct PM's may not be monitored. But this is a very clean forum, so it is not a bad idea to monitor the indirect requests also, IMHO.

The GSM gangsters have decided to move the courts and this will ensure that the matter will drag on for atleast one or two years by which time, GSM gangsters etc will increase their market share manifold. Good move on GSM Gangsters part to stymie RCOM's plans. But eventually, there will be competition in GSM arena. I think now that the GSM gangsters have moved the courts, the Govt. should increase the pressure and make these operators return the excess spectrum lying with them immediately. Maybe RCOM will now move courts to ensure this as a tit for tat move. The whole thing is getting murkier and murkier and will eventually be costly for everyone including us. ADA and all other new entrants will have to also shell out for new spectrum and which will cost thousands of crores. Their plans of going GSM for just Rs. 1651 crores have backfired royally. After paying for the licences and the spectrum, the new entrants will definitely be unable to reduce the tariffs. And on the other hand the GSM gangsters will have to surrender excess spectrum and they will also be forced to embrace newer technologies for efficient usage of spectrum and which will again cost them heavily. So they will also be unable to reduce tariffs. Eventually we users only will suffer. This battle has not really helped Airtel & co. nor RCOM and co. Maybe they could have anticipated all these hitches and cobbled together some agreement which would have ensured that all operators get good market share. Instead of one-upmanship, this would have been better. Now everyone, including us,will suffer.

Maybe the lack of attractive and feature-full handsets is the reason why CDMA operators are giving attractive tariffs and once they jump onto the GSM bandwagon, they will also join the GSM gangsters and loot us thoroughly. This is my say, others opinions may differ.

^^^ One more digit is missing in the Indicom number posted.

The GSM Gangsters will see to it that this is not implemented. They will together place many obstacles so that the Minister himself will get tired and eventually forget the matter as is always usual.

Long, long overdue. Good for everyone.

Hey Honest, Seems this service is exclusive to you only, ha ha. Jus jokin,,,, All others who have reported here, have given a negative.

No use to Chennai/TN customers who get 5000 free local SMSs to any number for Rs 30. Nowadays, RCOM is giving the added specification of SMS's to mobiles only, which means that SMSs to LLs/FWPs will still be chargeable at normal rates. Looks like RCOM has now ganged up with Vodafone on this issue. After all, all are brothers only.

^^^ I agree with you fully on the courtesy extended by LG,Chennai as well as RCOM-TO,Chennai. In my case for my LG 6230, I got the full refund of my money from LG after using the handset for almost six months. Of course in between, LG changed the handset twice but as I was dis-satisfied with the performance, They refunded my money in full without deducting even a single paisa. All credit must also be given to RCOM-TO,Chennai for their unstinted support in this matter. Subsequently, I had problem with my Nokia 6265 also and the TO took lots of pains to ensure my handset was repaired without my having to wait for the customary 15 to 25 days waiting period for all Nokia Phones.

^^^ LG RD6230 also supports voice recording during calls.

I don't think Nokia will support CDMA at all in future so there will be no SW updates for all Nokia phones. Correct me if I am wrong.

Raja rules out auction of 2G spectrum to new players 12 Dec, 2007, 1500 hrs IST, PTI NEW DELHI: Communications Minister A Raja on Wednesday ruled out auctioning 2G spectrum to the new players, so as to maintain level playing field between new and existing service providers. "We cannot adopt auctioning route for existing 2G spectrum due to legal barriers. But for the next generation mobile services (3G), the government has already announced a policy that frequency will be allocated on the basis of auction," he said on the sidelines of India Telecom 2007 meet. Suo moto bids by Bharti Airtel followed by Idea Cellular for 4.4 MHz additional spectrum had raised speculations that whether the government would consider this as a policy regime. Bharti had offered Rs 2,650 crore reserving the right to increase the bid further, while Idea Cellular had written a letter to telecom secretary expressing its willingness to participate in the bidding process. Raja has been maintaining that auctioning of 2G spectrum would create a level playing field in favour of existing GSM operators and thus any such decision may not stand legal scrutiny. The minister said spectrum needs to be allocated on the basis of real competition and in a transparent manner. When asked how the government would generate revenues as pointed out by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the minister said, "We already have annual license fee based on percentage of Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) and we are also going to auction spectrum for 3G services."

Govt to start spectrum allocation to new players; TDSAT okays 12 Dec, 2007, 1352 hrs IST, PTI NEW DELHI: Setting at rest the controversy over allocation of spectrum, the government today said it would start apportioning air waves to new entrants including Reliance Communications under the dual technology clause - a process that the appellate telecom tribunal refused to stay. The Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) refused to stay the issuance of new licenses to those who had applied as of September 25. Only yesterday, the Department of Telecom had started the process. Appearing for DoT, Solicitor General G E Vahanvati told TDSAT that the government would go ahead with the allotment of start-up spectrum to the new players. He also said that Tata Teleservices' application for use of cross-over technology would be considered favourably. Just before the TDSAT ruling, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had said that spectrum should be allocated in a transparent and equitable manner to new entrants for encouraging competitiveness. "We are going to allot the start up spectrum... this would be maximum up to 6.2 Mhz," he said. The move should help as many as 25 aspirants, including Unitech, Parsvnath, DLF, HFCL and Shyam Telecom, seeking to enter the lucrative GSM mobile services space. On Cellular Operators Association of India's plea to stay the process of issuing new licenses TDSAT Chairman Arun Kumar said "This is matter of pubic policy. I would not decide, let the government decide on it." The GSM lobby group also informed the tribunal that it has boycotted the committee formed by the DoT for reconsidering the Telecom Engineering Centre's report. NEW DELHI: TDSAT refuses to stay the process of issuing new licenses, allocation of spectrum. Link http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/Govt_t...how/2616924.cms So now, what happens? Will the COAI and the GSM gangsters go to court? Or will tehy allow RCOM and others to enter the GSM arena? Lets wait and watch.

There seems to be no end to which the GSM gangsters will stoop to, to prevent RCOM from starting their GSM services. They are **** scared of RCOM. It is evident from the way thing are going over the last 15 days or so. My personal take on this is PM or no PM, this issue will go into the courts eventually and will be a very long process. So let us all stop dreaming of moving to RCOM GSM in the near future, at least. However eventually, RCOM will have its way, come whatever may.

Your best bet currently would be LG 3000 or 3100. Both are good phones with excellent battery power. Both are sub 2k, infact 3000 is around 1.2 to 1.3k only. Lastly don't go in for Classic even if it is given free.

When did RCOM deploy 3G networks? and also expand and implement it? Or was it only for trial purposes? Anyway, RCOM deserves the award. Though in 2G, they need to improve a lot.

I dialled *222 and got the message, " This call is received on TamilNadu Trunk" and then the call disconnected. I tried 4 to 5 times with the same results. Maybe this will improve shortly.

^^^ Will it take so long for RCOM to launch their services? One year is too long time, IMHO. Hope it starts early.
