Songs from new unreleased movies are priced little high @ Rs.15. The habit of actually paying money and purchasing songs are yet to catch up in India. Hope Flyte changes that.

Guys check the calendar for today's date (if you have been living under a stone) and keep your defenses up.

Way to go Vinay. Awesome pricing indeed.

Sony has detailed its Ice Cream Sandwich rollout plans for its Xperia lineup. Starting off the update rollout will be the Xperia Arc S, Xperia Neo V and Xperia Ray, and the update should start rolling out in mid-April for those devices. Then in the "late May/early June" window, Sony will be updating the Xperia Arc, Play, Neo, Mini, Mini Pro, Pro, Active, and the Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman as well.

I used to own one. To answer your question, how do you intend to use the phone? The features are very basic, as you may have found out by now.
It is a feature phone running Samsung's proprietary OS which lacks full outside app support. Mediocre 2MP camera. Sound quality and signal reception is good. You can't take full advantage of its EVDO Rev.0 network support due to phone's hardware limitations (small screen, low internal memory, no multi tasking).
IMO, not worth the buck.

Suggestion : It will be more helpful and convenient if the opening post also includes details like best price and distinct features

Let the good times roll! Congratulations on your new car Dhiraj ji / Dushie.

^ ^ ^ This is a fresh case, I'm yet to receive back my phone.
I'll ask them to pinpoint what exactly the "hardware defect" is.

I faced precisely the same signal reception issue described by Ankush on my new Nokia smartphone. It was finally narrowed down to a fault in the hardware.

The world's cheapest tablet project has been allocated about Rs 765 crore in Budget 2012-13, which is likely to trigger the second phase of the project expected to begin in April, even as the first phase is stuck in a deadlock. The allocation for Aakash has been made under the National Mission for Education through ICT of Ministry of Human Resource and Development.

I am glad to learn that lesson, from now on I'll keep away from these 'Made in India' nokia phones, but I wish I didn't have to learn it the hard way
-
^ ^ ^ The issue was tracked down to a fault in the Nokia E6 I was using :duh: never suspected this as the phone was bought just last month.
On inserting the Airtel SIM in my S2 / Photon it shows the full signal strength.

Opting for postpaid connection can solve these unwarranted deduction issues.

Has anyone else noticed that the study was conducted by Microsoft!! See the irony!
MS, who is losing sleep over Android / Apple domination of smartphone market, would have an evident reason to be slanted and biased, with a possible touch of over exaggeration.

I don't recall anyone picking up a dual-core phone and complaining about how sluggish it is! Quad-core is just an overkill. Android OS and apps are not ready to take advantage of four cores and majority of the apps you regularly use works absolutely fine on a 1Ghz single core CPU. What’s the point of paying for technology that you can’t take advantage of?
Bottom line, while a quad-core CPU in your smartphone would give you bragging rights, it wouldn’t offer much more.

I am positive that the System lacks the teeth to dictate terms to the Cartel
let's see how things will turn out. -
Is it one more reason to stick to cdma?
CDMA technology is not completely hack-proof either thought it natively comes with more security.

^ ^ ^ I think he is referring to Micromax Q5C

Thanks a ton Parin. Downloaded and successfully installed.

I have PORTED my existing Tata Indicom Prepaid number 92879xxxxx to Airtel Prepaid in the Kerala Circle.
Reasons for Porting -
- TI's network coverage and reception is deteriorating / dismal in the places I frequent outside city limits.
-
4 years back, for someone looking for High Speed data access on phone CDMA was indispensable. It was a privilege exclusive for us CDMA customers in the form of EVDO but now with the advent of HSPA we are no longer obligated to stick with them.
- How much ever we laud CDMA here, it remains true that we are a neglected lot. Sure, the technology is great but the implementation in India is deplorable. And the situation is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future.
- Most of my friends / relatives are on Airtel, Idea or Vodafone so I never had much use for the famed unlimited on-net plans.
Benefits that I see of the new service provider -
Hassle free user experience even if that means I will have to shell out more Rs.
Airtel provides 3G services in Kerala through roaming agreement with Idea.
Porting Experience -
- Generated UPC on 7th March 2012 (Wednesday)
- Visited Airtel Relationship Center on 8th and filled up the requisite forms.
- On the same day, received a SMS from +1909 that my request for porting have been received and it is under process.
- On 12th (Monday) received a SMS stating that the donor operator have validated my application and that my number will be ported out by midnight 00.18.00. The number was inaccessible till 5 AM.
- After 5 AM the number got converted to Airtel. Calls, SMS, data are working flawlessly since.
- 3G services activated by 10 AM. The tech support guy who contacted me went out of his way to help configure the settings and Airtel followed up to ensure that everything is working smooth.
- Was able to access My Airtel page, recharge through paytm also successful
Now the only association I am having with Tata Indicom is a postpaid connection I'm using with official BB9650 which I just can't ditch

My take, International Miss Call is a grim sign of the enduring nature of the economic slump
-
^ ^ If your handset's network is set on “3G only” mode and in regions where 3G coverage is lacking or reception is poor, the battery will drain faster.

Successfuly ported one of my Tata Indicom prepaid number to Airtel this week. Initially it got rejected twice because of wrong syntax being entered by Airtel's staff.

True! BSNL should be given a clean chit in this regard. They don't care about numbers.
New operators are more guilty, involved in this matter as they widely indulge in such practices to ramp up sufficient numbers to present a rosy picture of state of affairs. Incumbent operators who have amassed subscribers over time, are not under much pressure to resort to these measures.
