A global mode S3 would be awesome.
Excuse my ignorance folks, but is there any specific reason why we are checking out Sprint devices most of the time and not Verizon ones given both are CDMA? Is it because Verizon unlocking is a hard nut to crack?

samsung galaxy nexus only for 17999/- on Dealsandyou today

By the way, how reliable is the website?

^ ^ ^ Sony Xperia U lacks Micro SD card slot for storage expansion so you will be stuck with 6GB internal memory (of that 2GB is allocated for apps and so effectively only a measly 4GB is available for storing your music, photos and videos).
-
HTC One V got some serious disadvantages like non-user replaceable battery, lack of front facing cam, single core processor hence mediocre performance while doing certain tasks.
Have you checked out the Sony Xperia Sola? It comes at less than 20K.

One of the better settings toggle alternative in the app market - Quick settings, does not support ICS devices.
Did you have a look in the revamped Settings menu where the toggle for wifi and bluetooth have been reorganized and is now conveniently positioned at the top? It seems to get the job done.
-
Yep, few apps are still not compatible with the ICS. Future updates by the app developers should fix the issue.
Btw, Do you notice any significant reduction in the available RAM after applying the ICS update?

Samsung India has finally started rolling out ICS update for Galaxy S II owners in the country. The update is available OTA as well as via Kies.
Got mine updated today morning! I'm loving it

^ ^ ^ Updated! thanks.

As planned, Sony is now rolling out its Android 4.0.4 ICS update for the Xperia Neo, Xperia Arc, Xperia Pro, Xperia Pro Mini, Xperia Mini, Xperia Active and Live with Walkman. This is a follow up to the ICS upgrade that it recently rolled out to the Xperia Ray, Xperia Arc S, and Xperia Neo V.
That’s 10 upgraded phones - that were released in 2011 - within a month. It’s a shame that other manufacturers aren’t following in Sony’s admirable footsteps.

To what extent something is perceived as affordable / reasonable varies by individual. What might be affordable to one person might be deemed unaffordable by another. Therein lies our problem
Can we focus upon phones below Rs. 20,000 so that it will cover all people's different budgets.

Humpback battery makes our slick smartphones look ugly
I don't use them but bought a OEM spare battery for the Galaxy S 2 and keep car charger handy at all times.

Letsbuy was offering deep discounts in the range of 2000 - 4000 on select Nokia models like E6, 700, 701 in the last couple of weeks. Maybe they were clearing the inventory.
Uninstalling Letsbuy android app now.

@ Amit, The manufacturer's tint on windows and windshields of Cars, at the time of delivery will definitely adhere with the permissible level of tint. This is allowed and will not be penalized. Vehicle owners, who have added tint to stock windows and windshields after purchasing their vehicles will invite fine and have to remove them.
Vehicles will be allowed to have sun films with 70 per cent visual light transmission (VLT) for front and rear windscreens, and 50 per cent VLT for side glasses, under Rule 100 of Central Motor Vehicles Rule, 1989.

^ ^ ^ Thought so
Just cleared up since offering 1Gb 3G data for Rs. 98 valid for supposedly 30 days is so "UnReliance". -
The opening post and the title presents only half the information and creates the wrong impression that Reliance have turned a new leaf.
Rs. 98 gives 1Gb 3G data usage for 2 Days only.
The same 1Gb data for Rs. 153 comes with 7 days validity and
If you shell out Rs. 255, it will hold good for 30 Days.

Saurav, shift to Chrome or Firefox for a faster and overall better user experience. The ads you mentioned appearing in web pages can be blocked by add-ons and extension features offered by these browsers.
In Google Chrome, install AdBlock
With Firefox you would need Adblock Plus add-on.
There are other alternatives like Adsweep and Flashblock but I found the above to do a more effective job.

^ ^ ^ It was sold out earlier -

HTC has updated information on which devices are receiving Ice Cream Sandwich and when.
The HTC Rezound, HTC EVO 3D, HTC Rhyme and HTC Desire S will be updated by July. Other models such as the HTC ThunderBolt and HTC DROID Incredible 2 will be updated to Android 4.0 in the last days of August.
Interestingly HTC says that handsets with 512MB or less of RAM will not be getting updated which means no ICS goodness for the HTC ChaCha, HTC Salsa, HTC Wildfire S, HTC Explorer and others.

i have got a final quotation of 38k from the samsung distributor of karol bagh.. delivery first week of june...
Thanks for clarifying.

This in all likelihood is a hoax, so use your own discretion. As per a listing on ebay, a seller has put up the Samsung Galaxy S 3 for pre-order sporting a wicked price tag of Rs.44,770. Delivery after June 1st.

I see they mimicked the Motorola 's Droid Eye boot animantion?
