If the mini USB connector is the same as with BB (likely to be since BB and Garmin UPS are the same) then an inexpensive (Rs.199 on eBay) BB charger should do nicely.

Outlook is a nifty way of cross transferring information. Just note the number(s) that outlook does not pick up and then enter them by hand.

I have had the 6275 for over three and a half years. What I find useful is to periodically (say once a fortnight) switch it off and on again. Seems to reduce all sorts of problems dramatically.

Yes Linux is great but not all applications are on Linux. Over 90% of the world is on WIndoze and we just cannot wish it away. This is why Lindows like stuff attracts me - Linux stability on Windows.

I think the security chaps are being paranoid. I wish someone ticks them off as in the 26/11 when the judge said that scribbled maps in the days of GPS are .....
Sorry I had put in the wrong date. Thanks tanveer

Actually in Tata, they are charging thrice for BB8830 we, that is about Rs21650 + Taxes, where as I got myself from Hitesh Bhai for just Rs7500..
Precisely my point. If BIS/BES are disabled than the two become functionally the same. May be the 'official' has the high speed instead of the 1x EVDO. In my experience unless you go extensively for video linkage 133kbps or so is adequate.
-
I am intrigued by the term Indian brands. How many are made in India and how many use the now famous Sticker Technology?
-
I understand that the EVDO stuff is being sourced from Huawei by both Tata and Reliance.
-
With the Govt. trying to crack down on BB again, for the 'crack' our so called open market BBs will be as good as the 'official' BBs at double the price. I guess they may block out BIS/BES!
-
I still think something like Lindows is what we need. This for those who may not be aware was project to put a Windows front end on Linux internals.
-
We must remember a few things:
The availability of high end phones from the 'official channel' is poor and they are frighteningly over priced. Support is almost non-existent. This forum addresses both these issues.
Keeping this in mind I do not think it is over commercialised.
What is useful and what is useless is a matter of opinion.

" Your phone contains copy right-protected material, which cannot be included in the backup, Click OK to Proceed."
This applies to the ringtones and screen savers which are copyrighted. I never bother. PC Suite gets the rest.

I am waiting for my 8330 which Hitesh tells me is already in India, awaiting Customs Clearance.
-
Hitesh : Pl check your e-mail.

Only to be expected, once the OS has stabilized.
Also, saw today that Google is dumping Windows as an OS for their internal computers due to secority concerns. I guess it will be Linux.

OR use BSNL3G all india roaming
When it works, that is? I was in Ladakh for five days - first two days BSNL network was down, then connections were dodgy and intermittent at best.
-
I am also not too keen on 3G for the moment. BSNL services are junk - they were off for four days in Leh and then intermittent. If I called my daughter (974 Kolkata) I got network error, and she got a missed call. sms was not sent as per my phone while she received it. Took six attempts (repeated disconnects) to talk to my son (Reliance Karnataka. I am just waiting for number portability to come in before getting rid of my BSNL connection. Reliance is great - I hear they are putting up towers in Kashmir as well and should be there soon.
Also, BSNL 3G will not work in MTNL area!
I guess the Telcos will go for aome sort of roaming arrangements on 3G also for an effective Pan India footprint.
-
Let me repeat what I have said before:
According to the Shastras: Samay Anadi Anant Hai - Time is immortal.
Now BSNL will be in a shock - how to pay for 3G?
Incidentally, heard that BSNL EVDO will not work is MTNL territory!

+ Double the price... piece per piece...
Well this is where Saadikk, Mufaddal and dheeraj et al come to our rescue.
Addition EVDO will make device useful.
Agreed 200%

How many Ghotala's do we need to talk about. I think we are reaching a stage where the list of 'not ghotalas' may be shorter. We had the Bhalu eating up our roads, Raja playing his game.
The next one coming up, release of Kasab in exchange for a minister's poodle.
Nehru was right. When asked why ar you friendly with Birla, etc. He replied 'They have less reason to be corrupt'.
-
In general I also have to call twice to get a connection. First time round there is no voice link more often than not.Happens most often in the evenings so I guess the cause is congestion.
-
I understand that both Tata have the same source, and hence in terms of quality should be the same. Quality of service depends a lot on your location - R is more widespread.
Maybe we should wait till the 3G auctions are over. Then HSPDA will also be legal!

I am a canon lover (started with S45....). I will only buy a unit which takes penlight cells. You can always get Eneloop so that they do not discharge. This was you always have a backup with penlights. Also, a few years down the line they cannot just put you into trouble with 'Sorry sir, that model is out of production, so we cannot give you a battery'.

BSNL stands for Bhai saheb Nahin Lagega. Barring a few places the service is unreliable (intermittent) and nobody cares if you complain. I am going to surrender my BSNL broadband in the next two months (as the annual subscription expires) and go for an EVDO from either Reliance or Tata.

Nice design. When do we see it incorporated into Fonts?
