Features-wise, the W362 comes with a 4x zoom VGA camera, a 1,000-entry phone book, expandable memory, voice recorder, MP3, and FM radio with recording and integrated speakers. The phone can be connected with the PC sync via USB for Internet access. The phone is priced at Rs 4,199.

[Honest 836]

That hardly matters my dear friend. Most of the handsets available in the market have USB 1.1 except high end mobiles.

I agree, that USB 1.1 is slow but its speed in USB 1.1 is comfortable too.

Dear Honest,

I am interested in CDMA handset with automatic unlimited call recording.

Will this handset do my purpose?

If not so, could you suggest me one?

[copperco2 24]

data transfer is equal to r-connect? any guesses

i just looked up several coverages on the introduction of the handset as well as on motorola site, but it is not configured for r-connect.

so its of no use to me...

all the same it looks like a good handset for somebody who can make do without r-connect.

[ani_meher 42]

[Greatest 55]

Yes my dear friends, this phone is really going to be hit as soon as it is available throughout all the circles.

Dear Honest,

I am interested in CDMA handset with automatic unlimited call recording.

Will this handset do my purpose?

If not so, could you suggest me one?

@Dr. Arun

My dear friend, this handset has a feature of voice recording, but I'm still not sure whether it is unlimited or not. If the voice recording going to be saved in expanded memory then surely it will be unlimited recording and if the recorded conversation has the option to be saved int he phone memory then it could not be unlimited.

But still I think that it supports unlimited voice recording.

Lets see who will be the first user of this handset on the forum. So that we can get some more clear picture.

Regards.

Dear Honest,

Arun is asking for call recording and not voice recording.

Both are different features.

1) Voice recording is recording of the sound available external to the handset.

2) Call recording is recording of the converstation(voice of self,caller/called ones) which you make with other party/parties(in case of 3-way conversation) with the same handset.

voice recording is widely seen even in b/w handsets and the restriction time is only the available memory and battery life.

call recording is very rarely seen even in some high end handsets but I really don't know why?

[ani_meher 42]

Is it available in Mumbai?

[Honest 836]

@Kesav

My dear friend, you may be right at that point that Call Recording and Voice Recording are two different features.

Now only the users of this handset can clear the picture.

Regards.

[@mitJ@in 256]
